Setting up iCloud and then .... stuck in a loop!
About 6 months ago I wanted to setup iCloud, for easier syncing between my iMac and iPad2. Several things went wrong. My iPad got stolen during setup. I had to change my AppleID. A few months later I bought a new iPad3. I wanted to continu the iCloud setup. But I do not come any further as to the point where my iPad starts to check my account-items. It says I have to check my mail for a sent mail with further instructions. And I cannot find this mail, and don't even remember having received such a mail! Now I'm stuck in some sort of loop. Is deleting my AppleID (and consequentively my gmail-account) and start all over again the only solution? I sincerely hope not.
Greetings, Arno (the Netherlands).
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
You cannot install Windows using a Dell specific installer disc. You need a retail copy of Windows.

I CANNOT change my phone number setting to an sms capable number to set-up keychain.. I have tried everything. I am on a Mac OSX, Mavericks upgrade and an iPhone 5. My mobile is set to @icloud and my mac is stuck set on @me and there aren't any options for changing either my phone number, account, details or anything. I simply want to set-up keychain and receive an sms to my mobile and not to my sms non-compatible home phone number. Any help sooo appreciated.
On your Mac, Sign Out of iCloud, then Sign In with the ID you want to use.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed it up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts under icloud and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do I get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, because the contacts went to another iphone i have.
I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.
Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. -
Want to travel only with my Ipad. Would like to easily upload, with one click, large 7GB folders of both Excel spreadsheets and Word documents to ICloud and then be able to view, change and create individual spreadsheets and documents using Numbers and Pages on my Ipad through the internet? Also, this would exceed the 5GB offered free, but someone said if I am only syncing and not backing up there would be no charge. Please explain.
You can't
Pages and Numbers can save to iCloud, Word and Excel can not. -
I am having the same problem I think. With mobileme you simply copy documents to the idisk folder and then synch. I cannot seem to sink that folder anymore. Any idea as to how I can simply copy folders to icloud and then access the MS Word and PDF files on my iphone?
Apple never bopthered to explain that this would happen
Your iDisk is still accessible after moving to iCloud in exactly the same way as before. Nothing is deleted until June 30th 2012.
, so I could easily have lost ALL of the files I kept on iDisk.
No, you couldn't. Firstly, nothing was deleted from your iDisk. Secondly, any files stored on your iDisk should never be your only copy. Even if your iDisk spontaneously combusted, you should keep local backups elsewhere.
Does Apple WANT people to move their storage elsewhere and stop paying Apple for it?
Yes. Apple doesn't provide such a service anymore, nor are you paying them for it.
Apple has made no effort to suggest remedies for the problem it has given iDisk users
They've provided instructions on how to download your files from your iDisk. What you do with them after that is your choice. -
It worked, but now loads only halfway and then stucks..
Hi, I have a shiny new 27" iMac (OS 10.8.2) and a iPhone 4 (iOS 6.1.2). I've already connected them successfully via Home Sharing, but out of a sudden, it doesen't work anymore. It loads halfway and then stucks
Restarted all devices and the modem. At all other Apple products HS is turned off.
It's a bit annoying, why has everything to be so difficult and time consumingReally NO ONE can help me with this issue...?

If I don't want to use photo stream, can I still upload a bunch of photos to iCloud and then share them with people who do not have iCloud?
iCloud provides a simple gallery in the form of 'Photo Journal' - uploading of photos from iPhoto to web pages hosted on iCloud, but only from iOS devices; and the photos are compressed to a size adequate for online viewing but are not available in full resolution as with the old MobileMe Gallery. Apple have provided a sample album here.
There are various other photo gallery services which you may find preferable: some of them are examined here -

I should know, but I don't. If I upload all of my photos to iCloud and then delete them off of my iPhone (for more storage space), will they all remain in iCloud or am I missing the point of iCloud?
Right now, there is no way to upload and access photos in iCloud. You need to import them to a computer if you want to be able to retrieve them later:
PHOTO IMPORT IOS TO MAC/PC

I am switching from an iphone 4s to a 5s. When I try to restore from icloud and then choose a backup, it tells me "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS on this iphone." How can get into my new phone to update?
UUpdate the new iphone to iOS 8.3 before you try to restore the backup.

If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud? or will all pictures remain in iCloud?
They will be erased. The backup only includes the data (and photos) on the iPad at the time of the backup. To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer as explained here before deleting them: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Hello, I received a message to set my icloud and the screen went blank, the computer will reboot and now asks me for a PIN code unknown to me, what should I do?
It has been remotely locked by the owner, or by someone who knows the owner's Apple ID and password.

i have a new iphone 5c replacing my iphone 4s. I backed up my 4s info on iCloud and then activated the new phone and downloaded from iclould. I then erased all info on my old 4s. However, I still can't get cellular service on my new phone. help!
Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process. When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?
Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud. -

How to I sync my 10.6.8 ical with icloud and then to my ipad
I find that I can sync fine with Entourage and I cal under Leopard. I can also subscribe to the Leopard I-calendar on another computer (running Tiger). However, the calendar will not go onto a web page as it used to; this is very frustrating for my colleagues! We need a fix here I think.
