TS3988 I can't access my iCloud preferences in settings on my iPhone. It stays greyed out

I can't access my iCloud preferences in settings. The icon stays greyed out and I simply can't tap on it, any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Go to Restrictions and turn that off.  When on, you are not able to get into most settings.

  • 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 

    You need to update to the new IOS software 5.0.1

    Contact whoever you got it from. If they can't or won't remove the lock, get your money back. If they won't do that, or you can't contact them, turn it over to the police. It's probably stolen.
    There is no way to bypass the activation lock.

  • How can I access my iCloud account from my computer, when I'm running OSX Leopard?

    I have a Mac Book running Leopard and I don't have the iCloud icon in my settings.. How can I access my iCloud account/back up my computer to the cloud?

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 which is Snow Leopard, but that is still not compatible with iCloud. You cannot back up your computer to iCloud in any case - it doesn't provide for that, only for iOS backups.
    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    If you have already set up an iCloud account on another Mac or device you can make limited use of it with Snow Leopard - details here.
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    (If in fact you are running Leopard and it is an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.)

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • Can i access my icloud account from my work pc?

    If you can access the Internet just log in with your iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I verify my iCloud account via email, when I can't access my icloud email without verifying my account?

    I have setup a new cloud ID.
    I now need to verify my account via email.
    How can I do this when I can't access my iCloud email without verifying account?

    Did you click the Verify Now link in the verification email from Apple (see image below)?  If not, make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • How can I access my ICloud history?

    How can I access my iCloud account history?

    I don't know what you mean by your iCloud history, but you cannot log into iCloud and see apps, videos, movies at anything of that nature. iCloud is a backup that stores your purchased app, songs, movies, TV shows, books, app data, etc. when you restore from an iCloud backup, you restore those items back to your iPad - assuming that you are backing up with iCloud.
    If you want to see your iCloud "history" look in the purchased tabs of all of the stores, look at all of the content that you have on the iPad (content that is not synced from iTunes) and that is essentially your iCloud "history".
    Exactly what is it that you want to see?

  • Changed my apple id now can't access my icloud acct.  not the same password and I don't know it

    Can't access my icloud acct to back up data to another phone.  I am the primary and until I can access my icloud account the other phone won't back up.  How do I access my icloud password.  I have changed my apple id password 4 times and still no success.  Now my apple id is now incorrect.  Yikes!  I have had a call with Technical security and they are puzzled as well.  Couldn't help me... is there anyone that has had this issue?

    If you changed the password for your AppleID, the only way to change that on an iOS device is to delete the iCloud account, then add it back with the new/updated login credentials.  It sounds awkward (well, it is I guess), but you just need to do that - delete the iCloud account then add it back.
