TS3988 Can't open icloud icons ( able to sign in though )

Hi
I am able to sign in to my icloud account with no problems , but then i am unable to open any of the icons ie. can't open calendar , contacts - i just get an error message . Using Windows Vista
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Alison

I'm not sure what you're looking for on your iPad.  You set up iCloud by going to Settings>iCloud, signing in with your Apple ID to create your account, then turning on the data you want to sync with iCloud.  However, iCloud is a service, it isn't an app.  It will sync data that you add or change within the apps on your your iPad that are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.).
When you go to icloud.com from your computer browser, you should get the sign in pop-up like the image below.  After signing in, you can access the apps from icloud.com.  If this isn't working for you, you may need to troubleshoot your browser as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4050.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • My Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account how do i proceed?

    My "Apple ID is valid but can't open icloud account" is the message I receive when I try to sign in to icloud so how do i proceed?  I want to install to my ipad and iphone Apple's locator service in my systems, I have a PC for work reasons where I do my apple safari and Itunes and now installed icloud but I don't recall having an icloud account.  I guess I do have an accout but how do I not confuse it with my current Apple Id account as I retrieve or create a new icould account?  Thanks.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • I can't open icloud on iphone

    i can't open icloud on iphone though everything is done following  the instrctions I suppose. I keep getting thi screen and it takes me nowhere else

    Hello,  zilvinas58.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Unfortunately, you will not be able to access an iCloud serivces through Safari on an iOS device at this time.  However, you will need to access these services a different way as they are built into the iOS.  I am not sure which feature you are attempting to access, but here is some information that you will find helpful.

    Hi,
    I check this issue in my environment, but cannot repro this issue.
    Please check the following path to click the right cpl file:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15\MLCFG32.CPL
    If that works, you need check this registry path to see if it points a right path to the .cpl file:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Cpls

  • Can't select iCloud icon in settings

    I can see the iCloud icon in settings on my iPad2 but it won't allow me to select it. Could someone please help me as I've looked at various things like upgrading and restoring but none of them have worked.

    When I go to settings>mail the iCloud options are there but it won't allow me to select them. They are shaded text and therefore not accessible.  When I set up my iPad I may have passed over setting up iCloud but according to the tutorials I've read it says you can go into settings>iCloud and set up from there but when I try that it doesn't allow me to select iCloud.  When I go into iCloud.com it is just a tutorial page that comes up so I'm not really sure what to do.  It is probably something really silly and easy but it's really frustrating me.  Thanks for your response.  Any other ideas? Am I missing something?

  • In settings can't open iCloud or internet accounts. Get message that preference pane can be opened.

    Since upgrading to Maverick it can't open iCloud or internet accounts in settings. Get a message the the preference pane won't open.

    Same here.
    This was a big problem when switching from 10.7 to 10.8 and now it seems te be back, bigger than ever when going to 10.9.
    All icloud related programs are effected: ical, icloud, adressbook, mail.
    Systemprefereces goes easily to 100% cpu load and things like com.apple.icloud or com.apple.internetaccounts turn not responding.
    At this moment it does not crash on my imac 2012. It still crashes om the imac 2009 and macbook 2009.
    Someone mentioned to use keychain repair but that must be done in English mode!. It crashed in dutch mode.
    I have not found a overall solution yet.
    Will keep on looking or go back to good old 10.8.5.

  • Can't open Icloud. "The entry point not found".  Can't reinstall until I open Icloud and log out but I can't access it.

    I am trying to re-install Icloud, however I can't redownload until I uninstall Icloud, but I can't uninstall until I log out in the Icloud Control Panel.  The problem is that I can't open Icloud to log out because it says Entry point not found.  I'm having an issue with all aspects of this!

    I see you still have your smc0. I'm working on my first attempt at OSB and Oracle support said we have to remove rmt0, rmt1, smc0 before we can install OSB. They saw it in the device list and said those devices must already be taken.
    Is you setup working for OSB and regular mksysb & sysback too with the Atape.driver?

  • I can't open Icloud Photos.

    I can't open Icloud Photos.  It says It is preparing my library but it won't open even after waiting for hours.  My storage isn't full.    I've tried different browsers and I have turned my computer on and off. 

    iCloud doesn't work that way.
    You take images on your iOS 5.1 devices and Photo Stream "pushes" the images via Wi-Fi connection to your other devices and computers.
    You take a picture using your iPhone and it is sent to your computer or other iOS 5.1 devices. You can't view the images online unless you use iOS 5.1 version of iPhoto ($4.99) to create "Journals". Journals are Web based viewing.

    Yes, you need to install the iCloud control panel and enable Photo Stream on your PC.

    On your iPad go to Settings>iCloud and enable Photo Stream.

    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

  • Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone.   Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

    Set up in iPhone.   Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again?  Suggestions?

    Now I have to get my sign-in for mobileme to be the same as my sign-in for Itunes, etc. so I have only one Apple ID!
    You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • Keynote can't open iCloud files

    When I try to open some files, which I've uploaded to iCloud before, Keynote fails to do so with this error:
    Can’t open file “ASSN(Nov2011)”.
    I also found the local copies of these files at ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Keynote/Documents/. When I try to copy and paste these files on my desktop, Finder complains:
         “ASSN(Nov2011)” cannot be converted. Please install a newer version of iWork.
    Well I have just updated Keynote to version 5.3 (1170), before trying to open these files in the first place. So is this a bug with this release or what?
    Lastly, attached is the screenshot for the Info of the local copy of the file which I can't seem to open.
    By the way Keynote for iOS can't open the problematic files either...
    Is there anyone else having a similar issue with the new Keynote release?

    danesker, I strongly recommend sending these information to Apple iWork Team <[email protected]>
    - UserID for account
    - Filenames of documents with issues
    - OS versions for desktop and iOS devices
    - Version of iWork apps
    - Were there recent OS or app upgrades installed?
    - Were both the iOS and OS X apps updated when this occurred?
    - On each device, do you have multiple iCloud accounts setup for Mail, Contacts & Calendars?
    - Under Settings > iCloud - Is Documents & Data set to On?
    - If you go to the website www.icloud.com, are you able to download your documents?
    They have reached me in one week after I post this message and requested me to submit these.
    But since by that time I have already deleted the related files I guess they could not be able to debug the problem.
    So just stay the file as it is and let the Apple team handle it.
    I hope this helps...
