Settings on icloud

I asked a few days ago for advice on upgrading my imac to yosemite the general consensus was not to do this as I would then have problems accessing my Pages work so I am still running maverick.
I have just signed into iCloud to alter my settings for downloading photos and itunes, when I enter settings I get a page saying approx. a third of the way down saying
No Devices you must be signed into iOS 8 settings or Mac OS X Yosemite system preferences to see devices
Can anyone help as I don't understand the principle of not allowing me access to things when Apple have not issued the alternative surely it would be more customer friendly to issue Yosemite prior to blocking access
but then again I am quite prepared to accept thtat I am doing things wrong.
At present keeping use of my Pages is more necesssary than altering settings but it would be good to do both any advice please

Classic has nothing to do with Mavericks.  Use this guide to learn where to post in the future:

  • HT204053 I want to change the apple ID for iCloud in my iPhone so that it's the same ID used with my iPad and Mac. When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, it won't let me change the current apple ID - how can I do this?

    I'm hoping to sync iCal via my four apple devices through the iCloud.
    Unfortunately, I used two different Apple IDs when setting up the iCloud accounts on the devices.
    How can I change the Aplle ID associated with my iPhone so that it's the same one used for my iPad and desktop?
    When I go to settings and iCloud in the iPhone, the apple ID that appears is greyed-out and will not let me click on it to change it.
    Any suggestions?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the other ID.  When you delete the account it will prompt you about what to do with the iCloud data.  If you need to migrate it and merge it with the data in the new account choose Keep on My iDevice; then choose Merge to upload the data and merge it with the new account.  If your data is already in the other account and you don't need to migrate it to the other account, choose Delete from My iDevice.

  • I have a new Apple ID and have updated it in iTunes. However it still says the old ID in settings under iCloud. It will not let me change it and prompts me to enter my password for the old ID. I put in the old Password but it doesn't work.

    I changed my Apple ID and it is not changing on my ipad. I did change it in iTunes but I can't change it or delete or update in settings under iCloud. It prompts for the password to the old id I put that in and it tells me that's not correct. I put the new password in and it tells me that's not correct. HELP!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • HT4759 I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    I now have my daughters iPad can you please tell me why I can't set up iCloud.in settings the iCloud is greyed out also how do I change her mail account to mine?

    To change your iCloud ID or password you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your other ID.  If you need to migrate any of your daughter's iCloud data to your account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted, then choose Merge to upload it to the new account.  If not, choose Delete from My iPad.

  • How do I get features to show up in general settings like iCloud and FaceTime? I also can't turn on location services for Siri. I have the new iPad and have updated to the new operating system. Please Help Me.

    How do I get features to show up in General Settings like iCloud and FaceTime and Location services to show up for Siri?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • I turned off icloud now i want to turn on but nothing happens when i am in settings and icloud doesn't work

    When i registered this ipod tough I told it not to use i cloud and now i do because I want to use the new find my Ipod.But when I go to settings and icloud is there i am not able to slide to open icloud.I am sure it is very simple but I cant figure it out.My daughters I pod i didnt do that when i set it up so i just need to undo what I did.Please help.

    That setting is for turning on iTunes Match, if you are an iTunes Match subscriber.  (iTunes Match is a separate service you can pay to subscribe to which will allow you to access your music library from iCloud - see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/.  When it is turned on, all music on the device is deleted and must then be accessed through your iTunes Match account.)
    To turn on iCloud, you go to Settings>iCloud, turn it one and provide you Apple ID with a verifiable email address.  See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html.

  • My iPad will not save app settings to icloud.

    I have tried with three different apps to get my iPad to save data to icloud.  These apps will save data to icloud from my wife's iPad and from my iPhone.  On her iPad, I can turn on the setting to save the settings to icloud and then immediately go to icloud manage storage and see that something has been written to icloud by that app.  From my iPad, the files never appear.  Also, if I delete an app that was supposed to write its settings to icloud, I get a message stating that documents pending changes to icloud will be deleted resulting in data being lost.  I have turned off documents and data in icloud settings and restarted the iPad.  I have deleted all of the apps that are supposed to write to icloud and reinstalled them.  I have deleted the icloud account and re-added it.  A backup to icloud works, so I know my account at least can write to icloud, but no apps can write data to icloud from my iPad.  The same apps on my wife's iPad can write to her icloud account, and the same apps on my iPhone can write to my icloud account.  I'm stumped.  Something has the documents and data queue to icloud clogged up on my iPad and I don't know how to clear it out.  Has anyone out there experienced this?  I had hoped iOS 6 would fix the problem, but I installed it yesterday and the problem still exists.

    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

    When I changed my Apple ID the ID did not change on my iCloud account. there appears to be no way to change the ID because I cannot get into account settings for iCloud

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • What are correct settings on iCloud to make sure photos are on all devices?

    What are correct settings on iCloud to make sure photos are on all devices?

    If your Westell modem (actually, it is likely a gateway...a combination modem/router) is set up for "PPP is on the modem", then the AEBS should be configured to Connect Using = DHCP or Ethernet. The AEBS also needs to be configured in Bridge Mode.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the AEBS, and click Edit
    Click the Internet tab and change to setting to "Connect Using DHCP"
    Then click the Network tab and set the Router Mode for "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Update to save changes and restart the network by powering everything off in any order that you want. Then start the Westell device first, followed by the AEBS a minute later, etc until everything is powered back up.
    This type of setup may work OK for you.
    If not, you will need to change the Westell setup to "PPP is on the router" and then configure the AEBS to provide the PPPoE service as you did originally.
    AT&T does generally advise that the modem should be in "Bridge Mode" or "PPP is on the router" when other routers are used with the "modem". See this document for more info:

  • How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

    how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

    There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
    If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

  • Everything is on in settings 4 iCloud except notes

    Everything is on in settings 4 iCloud except notes & mail. Every time I try 2 create me.com for mail & notes after turning them on in setting. Screen appears create me.com I hit create enter my apple ID & always get the same message UNABLE TO TURN ON MAIL, TRY AGAIN LATER. HAPPENING SINCE I UPGRADED ON THE RELEASE DAY...NEED HELPPPPP.

    Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

  • I have the wrong icloud account on my ipad.  If I go in and hit the red delete account button in settings of icloud will it just remove it from my ipad or remove it completely since it is on other devices

    I have the wrong icloud account on my ipad.  If I go in and hit the red delete account button in settings of icloud will it just remove it from my ipad or remove it completely since it is on other devices

    It only deletes if from this device, not from iCloud.  Other devices still using the account will not be effected by this.
