TS3992 I have an unknown Icon on my Ipad mini..screen is locked & will nt let me in.

I have an unknown icon on my Ipad mini.
The screen also says
Cannot Back Up
This ipad cannot back up to iCloud
without a verified email address

Tty a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that clears it then in Settings > iCloud does your account id show correctly ?

  • TS1538 I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

    I have updated both my Itune and Ipad mini , however, when I click on the device icon (beside itune store), it disappear. Why does this happen?

    I'm not sure why this would happen. But I think I did see another post a week or two ago about this. Have you tried rebooting your computer and resetting your iPad.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • I don't seem to have the icloud icon on my ipad, making it difficult to access my account. Should it be there?

    I don't seem to have the icloud icon on my ipad, making it difficult to access my account. Should it be there? I wonder if I deleted at some point, if so can I get it back? Just really want to check if the account is backing up successfully but really difficult to get on it through Apple, in fact near impossible.

    If you want to see the current backup or document names stored on iCloud go to Settings > iCloud > Manage Storage.
    If you want to view http://icloud.com on your iPad the same way as shown on a Mac use an iPad browser that allows changing its browser ID like the iCab browser.

  • I have an iPad2 and recently bought an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad 2.  How can I get him an iCloud account associated with that iPad and his iPhone 5?

    I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad2.  How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

    Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html
    Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

  • HT204411 i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me  do one at a time  please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

    There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes so you will need to buy each item individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.

    Hy, I have a problem with a new iPad Mini.
    When I try to use the cameras, it doesn't work.
    I get to take 3-4 pictures and after that all I see is the shutter.
    It happends even if just start the camera app, or the facetime app, after 4-5s.
    I've reinstalled IOS 6.1 but nothing changed.
    It is a new ipad. What can I do?

    Ok, Orange Romania changed my iPad mini but now I have another problem.
    I bought the iPad mini on 01/feb/2013, took it to service on 06/feb/2013, and got another ipad mini on 12/feb/2013.
    But the new ipad mini keeps requesting the password for some user [email protected], and it does it from the first day of activation. This is suspect for me, so I checked it's serial with selfsolve.apple.com and it shows "Estimated Expiration Date: January 31, 2014" and since it has one year free service I am worried the iPad mini wasn't new.
    Please help.

  • My ipad mini screen is broken and i still have the service coverage. Will they fix it for me ?

    My ipad mini screen is broken. I bought it in Orlando in Febuary and when i last checked my status, my service coverage is still active but my technical support is not does it mean if i bring it in december they will be able to fix the screen for me or will i have to ay for the fix ?

    Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty unless you have Apple Care+ which allows for two incidents ofa ccidental damage and there is a $49 copay for each incident. You do not have Apple Care+ so this would not be covered for you.
    If you are saying that the screen broke on its own, you would have to convince Apple that it happened that way.
    Apple offers an out of warranty iPad replacement with a refurbished device and the cost starts at $249.00 in the U.S. for an iPad 1. Apple does not repair iPads at this time, they offer these replacement devices. You can read more about it here.

  • I have a Iphone 4s and a ipad mini. the ipad mini recently got water damage, tried the rice trick...nothing. I have apple care plus on my iPhone, does that work on my ipad too? if so that would be great bc  defintally can't afford a new one ,lol

    Welcome to the boards.
    First, what kind of liquid was it, and was it fully submersed?  For how long?  Do you see water droplets or moisture behind the screen?  How long did you leave it in rice for?  Etc.  More data please.
    And the short answer is no, apple care does not extend from your iPhone to your iPad mini.  Both items require separate Apple Care plans to be covered.  Furthermore, I don't think water damage is covered under Apple Care.  Only manufacturing defects.
    If you bought it on a Credit Card, you may be lucky enough to call them and ask them if they have a replacement program as a benefit for being a card holder.  I believe AMEX has one on their Platinum cards, and worse case scenario, you can always try to file a claim with your home insurance or renters insurance  (check your policy).  Just beware, if you go the Insurance route in filing a claim, you might have your premium go up in the next cycle. 
    It's a double edged sword, I'm sorry.

  • I have one dead pixel on my iPad Mini, besides sending it back is there anything I could do?

    On my iPad Mini screen, since I have bought it, there has been one small black dot in the middle of the screen (I'm presuming a dead pixel because its absolutely always there). And I'm not too bothered about it but if there was something I could do without having to send it back that would be great!
    Thanks
    Ryan

    My iPad Mini arrived this morning with a dead pixel. I am going through the exchange process now. Hopefully the next one I recieve will not have this problem. Is this a popular issue?

    Nothing.  The message means you MUST restore your phone to factory settings.  There's no way around this .  Your phone is in recovery mode.  That's the only way to get it out.
