Unable to skip iCloud update

I updated my iPad to iOS 8 last night.  I received a message that the upgrade was successful but I needed to upgrade iCloud to complete the process.  iCloud asked for the password to my old email address which is obsolete and I am unable to sign in because I don't remember my password.  I can't authenticate with the old email address and it doesn't recognize my birthday for some reason so I also can't access the security questions.  No problem, I thought.  I'll just skip this step but it won't let me.  It keeps looping me back to sign in.  How can I skip this step or replace the old a

    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

    You say you have iOS6: you can perfectly well pay to extend your free storage as an ex-MobileMe subscriber.
    If you wish to continue your current storage level, the instructions are here:

  • If you edit photos in iPhoto, will Photo Stream (iCloud) update the photos on your other devices?

    Am I dreaming or will Photo Stream (iCloud) update photos on my Macbook when I edit them (enhance, crop, rotate, etc) on my iMac (automatically or otherwise)? If so, do I need to do anything besides the basic Photo Stream setup to make this happen? The movie on Apple's site about iCloud seems to imply this is true, but it's vague. I'm unable to find anything about this in the small amount of Help articles about iCloud. Thanks for any help.

    Yes via your Wi-Fi network.

    received error message  - the procedure entry point_objc_init_image could not be located in the dynamic link library objc.dll.  unable to launch iCloud.  Any suggections?

    I had roughly the same error. I fixed it by running the iCloud control panel update from apple software update. The problem cropped up after I ran the most recent iTunes update, I've personally been having issues with iTunes updates being finicky since upgrading to Windows 8.1, I've had to download installers rather than running the update directly through Software Update, so it's possible Apple is not fully addressing compatibility issues for newer versions of Windows. Ultimately it seems to be a missing file issue, so any update, installer, or install verification/repair that directly addresses the iCloud files should see and replace the missing file.
    Also it looks like Apple is either unaware of this problem or not addressing it at all, there are about a dozen support requests from within the last month all asking this same question regarding iCloud, just with different specific files unable to be found. None of them have answers.
    Hopefully this works for you

  • After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

    After upgrading to ios7 unable to connect iCloud server!!

    The same thing is happening here with my 16 GB wifi only iPad 2, and this is my first update in perhaps a year. The IOS7 update makes it to "Updating iCloud settings..." and goes no further.  After a while the install fails (I guess) and I have to start over.  Always ends the same way, black screen, nothing happening.  Start over, same result.  BTW I DO NOT USE iCLOUD ANYWAY
    Apple please help!

  • When iWorks for iCloud Beta become available I subscribed to it. After that I become unable to access iCloud at all as in all my devices I get messages to install it and other apps (find my phone, etc) that are already active. Anyone could help?

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

    I have purged all know "Apple" software; driversand registry entries... and attempt to install the release version of iCloud onWindows v7 workstation; and keep getting a message stating: "cannot install while older version exists".
    Clearly, I am missing something... Any idea's besides a clean install of OS?

    2) Searched and removed all "Apple" and "iCloud" registry entries...
    3) Deleted files from "Program Files"; "Common Files" "User Profile, AppData"; "C:\ProgramData"

  • Unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S

    I'm unable to use iCloud on my iPhone 4S.  I click on Settings, Scroll to iCloud, Click on iCloud, and then it prompts me to enter my Apple ID and Password.  After I do I click on Sign in and it says User name or password is incorrect and I know they're not.  I try signing in with the same Apple ID and Password and I have no problem signing in.  I don't know what's going on.  Can someone please help?? 

    You need an Internet connection to use Facetime. As not all carriers support Facetime you may need a WiFi connection.

  • Unable to Check for Update on OS 5.1

    My iPad 2 will not update its software over the air and comes up with the message Unable to Check for Update.  I have tried updating via iTunes 10.6 and it just sits there trying to contact the update server.  I have also reset the iPad and restored from backup.  Exactly the same problem!
    Its nothing to do with the network as i get exactly the same problem at work as i do at home.  My iPhone 4S updated to 5.1 without any problem.  However my iPad just does not want to know.
    Please help!

    Correction. I started the update on my iPhone and my wife's iPad. However, they never finished. Each one returned an error message stating that the "Software Update Failed. An error occurred downloading iOS 5.1." I can't even get my ipad2 to get that far. It returns an error when trying to contact the server.
