No iCloud icon on my phone?

Why cant I see my iCloud app icon except for in settings?

iCloud is a service that goes on in the background.  It syncs emails, contacts, calendars and can store data files for apps that are written to take advantage of iCloud, again in the background.  You can go to icloud.com with a browser and view this data (except for the data files of third party apps, for now at least) as well.

  • I have no iCloud icon in my phone.

    I have no iCloud icon in my phone. where is it at?

    There never was an icon for iCloud on the Home Screen. It only exists in the Settings.
    You access your iCloud data through the various iOS apps - Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Photos, Find my iPhone etc.

    If you downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library, if you downloaded it on an iOS device then it should be in the Music app on it. If it's not there, and you don't have a copy of it on your backup of your library, then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, which I believe is a requirement from audible.com who supply them) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT5330 My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared from my system preferences and was reverted back to mobileme which of course no longer functions and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

    My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared by my system and reverted to mobile me which of course is no longer available. Any ideas on what to do?

    You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first.  Then you can download mountain lion via the app store.  Confirm you meet the requirements:  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead.  That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
    And make sure you're actually contacting apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade.  Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

  • I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

    I  don’t  understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
    When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
    I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.)  But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
    Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone?  I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
    I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
    Help!

    I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1.  Catch 22.  This is basically a storage issue, I believe.  I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7.  I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need.  But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that.  I synch my phone and computer.  I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone.  I seem unable to do that.  Any advice?

  • There is no icloud icon in system preferences on my mac

    I'm trying to upgrade icloud storage on my mac because the "complimentary" storage I got when they switched from me.com to icloud is expiring.  The instructions are simple: open system preferences, click the icloud icon, change your options.  But I don't have an icloud icon: I've still got a me.com icon, which won't connect because it indicates a server error.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

  • HT4759 I need to get the icloud icon on my iPad and iPhone.

    Help me. I need to get an icloud icon on my iPad and phone. As well my phone is and has been malfunctioning for months. I get ZERO help when I call, nor "promised" call backs.  Countless hours have left me frustrated, angry, and wondering why I have spent so much $$$ on your products.

    There is no "iCloud icon' on iOS. What exactly are you attempting to accomplish?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You are not addressing Apple employees (consequently, these are not "our" products). When you called whom? What number? And what malfunctioning? Without more information, it is difficult to know what advice to give.

  • When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purschased it but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Im having trouble downloading the iMovie app on my iPad. When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purchased it(I did purchase it) but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Hello bianca,
    It sounds like you are trying to download a previous purchase to your iPad but the item never downloads. I would recommend starting by closing all the apps that are running in the background.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My iphone/itunes just did the complete new update with Icloud but the icloud icon doesn't show up anywhere on the iphone or my computer even though the install said it is all done and complete.

    The Itunes and Iphone just did the complete new update addiing on Icloud and new applications.  After all was done and it said all was completed - the Icloud icon is not on my iphone screen anywhere nor is it on my computer after I did go to the control panel and set up.   I tried repairing the download and it said all was fine.  What needs to be done to get this all to work.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks

  • I can't access the iCloud icon in settings on my iPhone 4?

    Both the iCloud icon & FaceTime icon in Settings is a cloudy color and when I click on either of them nothing happens. Also the iTunes app icon is no longer on my home screen. The iTunes section & apps in Settings appear in the same bright colors as they always have but nothing happens when I click on them. Also Facebook is cloudy in settings and it click but nothing happens. My phone is out of storage b/c of photos & doc usage space so I can't download the upgrade. My iPad mini works find & I can access all features on it I'm so frustrated

  • Where is the iCloud icon? I have a new ipad and although in settings I have the icon and have set music, mail etc to be stored on the cloud I do not have the icon on my home page or on the safari tool bar

    Where is the iCloud icon ? I have the iCloud settings set to on for music, mail etc but the icon is not on my safari tool bar nor is the icon present on my home screen

    There is no iCloud app or icon on your phone.  iCloud is enabled and configured in your settings, but you access your iCloud data through the apps you are syncing with iCloud.  iCloud contacts are accessed through the Contacts app on your phone, Mail through the Mail app, Reminders through the Reminders app, etc.
    You can also access some of this data on icloud.com from a computer.  You can't, however, access icloud.com from your phone.

  • ICloud icon not appearing!

    My iPhone was stolen, which has iCloud set up on it.  I have blocked that phone, but my friend has sold me her iPhone 3GS, which I had to restore.
    I now want to set up iCloud on this phone, so I have completed all the updates and it has the latest version of IOS, but the iCloud icon is still not appearing in the Settings menu, and all the support I can find on this assumes that it will be there.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    If the icloud icon does not appear, that is because you don't have iOS verision 5 installed.  To be absolutely sure about this, go to:  Settings>General>About.  Look down the list for "Version".  If not 5.x.x, then you don't have the iOS version needed for iCloud.  BTW, are you sure it's an iPhone 3GS and not 3G?  If 3G, then you can't update to iOS 5 on that model.
