Safari and ICloud locked and frozen

Safari has stopped working on my I-Pad mini. It just sows a grey screen and is completely non functional.
If I open Settings and select Safari. Settings locks and becomes frozen also.
I have to double tap the main button to close both Safari and Settings apps. Safari always displays the same page at this point.
I have tried to disconnect Safari from ICloud but this only produces the busysybol which will run for hours if you let it.
I have even tried to delete the ICloud account from the device but get the same busy symbol and no response.
I have tried various permutations of button pressing to restart but I still have the same problem at next start up.
My mail on this device appears to have stopped working at about the same point at the safari problems started.
Does anyone have any clues where or how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Try #2 and #3.
1. Reset
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo
2. Restore:

Various applications are crashing on my iPad, including Facebook, Safari, and TwoDots, along with others. I have tried all of the solutions I found except doing a factory reset and downloading the backed up iCloud version of the iPad. What do I do?

When I try to open or access some features of these apps, I get the
loading sign, then the screen turns black, and it takes me to my Home screen. Sometimes this also occurs when opening links in Facebook and Safari, and some of my Apps are completely useless as a result of this. I have rebooted thrice, re-downloaded the apps, and tried clearing them from the queue, nothing works. Also, I have noticed that the background of the home screen is oriented incorrectly at times, (background is portrait whilst the rest of the screen is landscape) and I'm really at a loss. I assume it's a glitch with iOS 7.1.1... The iPad is a 4th generation and has shown no problems until recently, around when I updated. I'm not jail broken or anything, but my Wal-Mart warranty has expired. What should I do?

IMO, you answered your own question with your lead in about backing up, erasing the device and restoring from the backup. That's what I would try next.
If that doesn't work, I would backup with iTunes, and restore the iOS again using iTunes. You can't restore the iOS by simply erasing the device. You have to use iTunes in order to reinstall the iOS.

I'm in Safari, and can do a search,but the bottom half of my screen won't move and I can't tap on any of the results, it appears to be locked, what do I do to fix?

I'm in Safari and the ribbon at the top is bright and I can do a search, but the remainder of the screen is highlighted and I can't move around in Safari or select a topic etc, it appears to be locked. Does anyone know how to fix?

Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, & Cache.
Restart your iPad.

TS3899 I can no longer send photos in an email from my iphone 5. It uploads the photo to the "new message" page - and then it freezes. I can use safari and check my emails, and when the email part is frozen the rest of the phone works fine ! any advice?!

Hi, ireland a.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close.
iOS: Force an app to close
Once these steps are processed, attempt to send the photo again.

I was moving bookmarks in safari and 2 complete folders have emptied their contents. The folders are still there. I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac

I don't have a working time machine and icloud has caused the relevant folders to disappear from all my machines, iPhone, iPad and iMac as well as thge MacBook Air I was working on. HELP!!!

Hi,
There is NO need to put your whole questing in the "Questing Heather" therefore you can TYPE here. In the Text window as I did to.
Now to your questing:
So, you moved some Bookmarks and now 2 folders are completely empty.
I think that they dropped in a other folder during dragging the Bookmarks.
Did you check ALL of you Bookmark folder if they are there?
If you didn't delete the they have to be still there.

Can you check system update? I think I did a system Update 1st, a day before installing OSX Lion and there is a Safari update. If not try logging in iCloud.

TS4147 Do I need to merge Safari and my contacts with icloud?

When settling up Icloud on my iphone 5c the question comes up: Do you want to merge your Safari and Contacts to iCloud.
Can this be reversed later? What difference does it make?

Welcome to the Apple community.
It can only be reversed manually, i.e. By putting everything back one by one. However it's the only way to use iCloud and keep the contacts you already have on your device.

I have a new Macbook Pro. Had just selected link via safari and the compuuter locked-up. It won't turn off...don't seem to have an option (no contol,alt,delete like PC). How do I unlock/reboot?

I have a new Macbook Pro. Had just selected search via Safari and computer locked-up. How do I unlock/reboot? On/off doesn't do anything...no cont/alt/delete option like PC, no easy battery removal available. What's the secret?

Hold down Option Command Escape at the same time... from the drop down Menu choose Force Quit Safari.
Or,
Click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Force Quit.

I keep getting the itunes update message and when I accept the terms and conditions it just keeps going back to tell me I have 3 updates itunes, safari and icloud and goes back to accept message without actually downloading?

What is going on with itunes update? I keep getting the message that updates are available for itunes, safari and icloud, but when I accept the terms and conditions and the install 3 items message, it keeps going back to telling me there are 3 updates available and have to accept terms and conditions again without it ever installing!! I am using a PC with windows vista. Have not had this problem till December when I got an ipad and had icloud installed, don't know if there is a connection.

I can't offer any help but it soulds like Apple goofed with the latest update. Many of us have the same problem. I may wait a week or so to see if Apple responds.

How do i remove the Icloud Lock on a Iphone that's Clean and can not get in touch with the oraganal owner
thers no you cant put a reset tool on your site to reset phones thats not stolen or in lost mode

it's an anti-theft measure DAH Its Not Stolen SO what the crap Then. I wish thay would Remove it From there Ios and Redo it so it Only Locke if you Report it Stolen or enter Lost Mode. BC thers A lot of PPL that abuse it.

Can you unlock an apple device on icloud lock and reported stolen be unlock?

My Ipad was stolen and I icloud locked it right away, when I reported lost/stolen on icloud, I was able to track it down for about 30 minutes, but then I guess the person who had it turned it off, my question is, if the device is locked with Icloud, can anyone unlock it, and if it is not possible to unlock it, what is the use of having locked right?

You can use your Apple ID for up to ten devices, up to five of which can be computers.

Mail fails on iCloud/Safari and on Mountain Lion, works on IOS?

I'm traveling, and in a jam because Mail has stopped working on my MacBook Pro early 2011, and trying to work around this with Safari and iCloud Mail also fails--can't load Inbox, try again later, after a long wait, almost always.
I'm beginning to suspect it's due to the number of emails in my Inbox (67000), and Mail on the laptop has to match its cache against all of them perhaps, while Mail on IOS only looks at the last 1000 or so.
But my situation is confusing, because I'm traveling internationally, and various services are blocking my access from foreign IP addresses. For example, I've got a large Gmail account too, and was sent an email from Google proudly saying they'd managed to block a suspicious access from Belgium (where I was). They did provide a way to get past the limit, though, via Safari and their web interface. But that makes me wonder if Apple may be blocking "suspicious" accesses too, and just not telling me about it.
I've tried to eliminate that problem by using a VPN so it looks like I'm logging in from near my home, but the VPN setup is erratic--there are two user accounts on my laptop, and the VPN will only work with one of them at a time, so often one or the other account is logging in with the foreign IP address. I can understand why the system might be suspicious when I log in from Belgium, then France, then San Jose, all within an hour, as happened recently due to the VPN confusion.
Does anyone know if Apple is blocking things from foreign IPs without telling me?
I can't reduce the size of my Inbox, because I can't access it, so it looks like if that's the trouble I'm stuck forever. Last time I tried to archive a big chunk of it everything got tied in knots and the system became unusable for days, and I had to restore from Time Machine.
Gmail handles far larger Inboxes without problem, so I am not sure that's the trouble. My philosophy in recent years is to leave everything in one box so it's easy to find things using Search, which works well on Gmail but now I'm not so sure on Mac.
