Updated to IOS5, setup won't let me select "don't use iCloud" option

Hi, I just upgraded my iPad 1 to IOS 5.  All went well, except on initial setup, it will not allow me to select "Don't Use iCloud".  It allows me to select "Use iCloud and moves me to the next screens, until I get to the "Find My Ipad" screen, where it will not allow me to use either "Find" or "Don't Find".
I think I'm stuck.  I don't want to connect to iCloud at this time, but even if I try to set it up just to get through initial setup, I get stuck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

UPDATE:  I finally logged in with another email address and updated my password.  Now my problem is how do I bring over my apps from my other account?  My iPod recognizes music I purchased eons ago, but no apps and no recent purchases.  HELP!!

  • Iphone will not let me select "don't use icloud"

    I downloaded 5.0.1 software to my iphone and am going through the set-up menu. Under "set up icloud" it will not let me progress with set up if I select "don't use icloud". I don't want to use icloud but the "next" button will not function unless I select "use icloud". Even if I selection "use icloud" I cannot get past the "Find My iPhone" screen regardless of which option I choose.

    yes yes and yes. but now the movie has completely disappered from my iTunes and from my iPhone. I had 16 days and 19 hours left to watch my movie when I started it, and after I started it I still had 23 hours to complete it. Now it is completely gone.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • HT5246 My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list"  What am I doing wrong?

    My computer won't let me select "automatically update safe downloads list"  What am I doing wrong?

    You are correct that is what I'm talking about.  I did install it. 
    Now I can't get the check box in the preferences security panel under the tab "general" that allows "automatically update safe downloads list" to stay checked.  Each time I unlock and check the box and then relock and close, the check mark disapears.  This is the problem.

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

  • ITunes/my phone won't let me put music on my phone? I can see it but it won't let me select it in "on this phone"

    Hey there,
    I have had my iPhone 5 since October and every time I would do an update the phone would crash and I had to start from scratch every time (thank god for back ups). So I finally got the chance to switch out my phone at an apple store about a month ago. Since then though, I have not been able to sync any music on to my phone. I have tried the newest versions of software possible, tried restoring my phone from the last back up of the old phone and other various things I could think of. Even when I got to the "on this iPhone" tab, it shows me all the music that is supposed to be on there. Problem is that it is all unselected and it won't let me select them. Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers

    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to "automatically update songs and playlists". . If you want to access your iPod directly, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and Playlists" in the iPod preferences. For more detail see this tutorial: Managing Your Songs Manually
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod
    For info: iPod 101
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
    1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
    2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
    3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

  • Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

    Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
    Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).

    Hello,
    I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
    I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
    The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
    and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
    The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
    Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
    thanks for any help.

    Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
    Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
    Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.

  • Won't let me select multiple emails while on wifi - ends up deselecting them before I can do anything

    I'm running the latest update, have restarted and even reset the settings for the whole systems. It's happening on my iPad and iPhone.. When I disconnect from wifi it acts normally, but if I connect to wifi that's when it won't let me select multiple emails. I will click on multiple but it ends up deselecting them

    You should really read the manual.
    "How do you restore from backup? "
    Restore.  When given the choice, choose to use backup.
    "And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
    They would only be where you put them.  What program did you use to import them?  Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all.  You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
    If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

  • Trying to set up new phone with iCloud. My backup shows up but not in bold so it won't let me select it. Any ideas??

    Trying to set up my new iphone. Saved my info from iCloud and when I try to download on the 5c it is not in Bold so it won't let me select it but it does show my backup at 4:09. Any ideas??

    Make sure your 5c is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up.  If it isn't you cannot restore the backup until you update the phone.  Then make sure you are restoring the backup this way: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
    You phone won't need to be from the same provider or have the same telephone number to use the backup, but you will need to be signed into the iCloud account that you backed up your old phone to.

    I changed my apple ID, but it won't let me change the ID for icloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
