Why can't I access iCloud from my wife's iPad?

We got the new iPad and we set it up so everything syncs with my wife's iCloud account. But it won't let me access icloud via the browser. Is there a way tor me to add an appointment in the calendar without having to get up and go to my computer?

I would understand your argument, only if allowing safari to access icloud was causing any problems to how IpAd is running (like playing flash content). But it is not.
Maybe I am missing something, but Apple shouldn't be the one dictating how I should be using my device. If I wanna share my device, I should be able ot share my device. I remember paying $500 for it, so actually, it is not up to Apple anymore... it is up to whether my wife feels like sharing it. Further, If you were stranded in the middle of nowwhere, you would like to be able to take my smartphone and access your email account to find a friend's number, right? That's just an example but there are many occasions that I, you, and pretty much anyone would share a personal device. Apple is re-writing the rules and people are just rehashing whatever rationale Apple provides.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please, feel free to share it.
Thank you.

Why can't I access iCloud from Snow Leopard?

I find it hard to believe that with all the loyalty that I've shown Apple through the years - literally thousands and thousands of dollars that I can't access iCloud through my iMac because it's not compatible with Lion. Is this true? Is there a work-around other than having to buy a newer Mac?

Your machine (by computer standards) is pretty old so even though it doesn't have the ability to be upgraded to Lion is still capable and can continue to be used for what you originally bought it for. In your case it's time to upgrade computers if you think iCloud is something you really need.
Why I understand your frustration just about everything moves forward so if you want to stay current you have to too. You can't really get angry with Apple (or any anything else for that matter) for wanting to move forward because old hardware that was never designed for newer software is left behind. My iMac while it's 5 years old still works fine for what I bought it for however I know Mountain Lion may be the limit it can support and I too will be forced to upgrade. Just progress, nothing more and nothing less.

HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
Hope this helps.

Why can't I access iCloud after resetting the password?

For months now I have not been able to access my MAC email thru Mail from our MacBook Air. After not bothering for a while (have other things to do like most of us) I have reset it again and same problem. I can access it from any (!!) other computer including the iPads, iMac and even my shielded Windows based work computer using MS Explorer... If I try to use Safari to log into the Cloud from the MB Air I also can not get in from the MB Air despite being able to from any other computer.
Can anyone help with this? I would be most grateful as this is more than odd...
P.S. I have deleted the account and tried to add it again using the new password.

OK, no responses (normally quite quick and helpful), could mean this is a unique failure or user error. I have just spent half a day trying to fix and searching on the internet for solutions but see nothing that works. I am close to ditching the Mail and Mac related email system if I can not resolve in the next 2 days or so. This is a big change so if anyone out there knows why this MB Air laptop does nto allow us to log in whereas other computers (Macs and otherwsise do) I would greatly appreciate your advice. I am sure this is an authentication issue but the cause is becoming irrelevant.
Many thanks!

Why can't I send mail from yahoo in my Ipad?

I can receive mail through my yahoo account on my IPad bit can't send mail. What can I do?

Do you get any error messages ? What happens when you try to send an email ?
If they are not already entered, then you could try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails. If that doesn't work, and you've got the account set up on, for example, Outlook on a PC or Mail on a Mac, then compare the settings that you've got on there with what you've got on the iPad

Why can't i access iCloud now i have changed my email address?

My email was hacked nand blocked so had to change my email address.. So i had to change my apple id as well. However, now i have done that it won't let me access my icloud as it keeps telling me to enter a password for my OLD email address, and it won't let me change it to my new one. I have some VERY important notes backed up onto icloud that I need, but now can't get them. (One was the security key for my iMac..) Is there any way i can get all my documents etc/iCloud back??

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Why can't I access iCloud via IE or Firefox, but can via Safari?

I've posed the question, but don't know what to do next or whether I'll be able to remember how I got here to get back. Thanks Apple for making Help so frustrating - running around in circles and getting no where.
btw, have been all over Apple with email/phone calls and appt at an Apple Store -- no help.
In the meantime, anyone have any input to my question?
Thanks!

Apple is shooting its self in the foot again similure to the 80's pullout of small operating business sales. ICloud is a mistake. it is a one piston 8 cylinder engine. I cannot access my email from my company computer and will not be able to access it on my company phone. Fix this debacle. Does Apple intend to become more propriatory since Steve is gone? BIG MISTAKE!!! I now know 23 people that have given up their Iphones because of this. Since there has been no replies or strands developed over this input since February, I take it that Apple is Not Concerned and every one will follow the pack.
Maybe, maybe not.
As you have given no information at all in your post it is not possible to respond in any sensible fashion to your problem, if you are looking for help please give some description of the issue, or if you're here merely to rant, carry on.

How come clients have to return to the original machine to access their photos and files? Why can't they access them from any client?

When students login & upload images onto a client, they have to return to that same client. They cannot see their images if they log into another client the next day.
Currently, I created uses as Local only on a server dns of ---- .server.private. via the "internet" not VPN. (as advised by a Apple Rep phone call).
Do I change it to server HD? When I tried "Users" , they could not log into any client.
Is it a permission issue on the client?
Are they pictures stored on the Client HD or the Server HD under users home folders? When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD. Now I cannot see any folder created "ouside" the main Doc or Pictures Folder on the SERVER HD. They can, when they log into the same client each day.
Advice?

From what westhighphoto said "When I had Snowleopard, I could create folders outside their homes and see them on the server HD" it sounds like users have been saving files outside their home directory. In that case it does not matter whether they are using full-blown Network Home Directories or Portable Home Directories (with syncing) the files will not be copied back to the server.
The users should be saving the photos inside the Photos folder inside their home directory. These will then be saved on to the server.
Note: iPhoto if still being used should default to this.

Why can't I access iCloud on my iPad?

Every time I try to get onto the cloud on my iPad 2, it tells me to set up an account--I already have one. I use the cloud every Amy on my computer!

No need for obscure browsers: download Google Chrome.
Head over the www.icloud.com
When you get the screen asking you to set up iCloud (like you do now) simply go up to the upper right corner of the screen, tap the three horizontal line icon for the drop down box, then select "Request Desktop version of page".
Chrome will load the normal iCloud login page you were expecting.
Everything works fine from that point.
Good luck!

Why can't I access the $$$ from my redeemed gift card

I followed the instructions to redeem a gift card. The money appears in my account, but iTunes will not let me spend it. Every time I try to purchase something, it asks for my credit card information, and will not take the money out of the $25 sitting up there.
How do I use this $$$???

How do I use this $$$?
By purchasing music and videos. Purchasing applications and other software from the Canadian iTunes Store requires a credit card.

Why can I not access ICloud mail on Mac Mail anymore. When I reopen a new ICloud account, the "incoming server" box is gray and I cannot enter anything. This happened the 3-4 times I attempted to start a new icloud account?

Was getting ICloud mail then it stopped. Icons next to ICloud on my mac mail say it's a netweork error. I tried deleting the iCloud account several times and reentering it but it always leaves out the info that goes into the "incoming server" box and there is no way to manually enter it as the box is grayed out.

Sign out of iCloud (system preference>iCloud) reboot and sign back in.

I can't get to iCloud from safari on my iPad

When I try to get to iCloud.com from my iPad I get redirected to the set up page. How do I get to the login page? It seems to work fine on my laptop and desk top, but not the iPad.

You don't log-in to icloud.com from iOS devices. Use the various apps that come with the iPad or can be downloaded from the AppStore to access your iCloud email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, PhotoStream etc.
Setup the iCloud account from the Settings app.

Why can't I sync music from my mac to iPad?

I'm having trouble syncing music from my MacBook Pro to my iPad. I have some music that is already transferred, but I can't seem to add new music. Any suggestions?

Hi Zane
Yes, I do that each time, but it makes no difference. I've had an iPhone with music on for ages, and this issue only happened when I update to iTunes 11 earlier on in the year.

Why can't I download applications from Internet on my iPad mini?

Hi, I have been trying to download applications from the internet on my iPad mini but i can't download them through safari or other 3rd Party browsers. I tried downloading them through many download managers but they can't download the applications either. I tried syncing my iPad with the computer through iTunes and when I opened the app on my iPad, it said "file format not supported" even though iPad mini supports it.Please reply.

The only place to get apps or other programs for your iPad is the app store - either directly on your iPad via the App Store app or on your computer's iTunes and then syncing them. PC and Mac programs (and android apps) are not compatible with the iPad, they are different operating systems.
What were you trying to sync to the iPad via your computer's iTunes ? If it's an app that you downloaded from the iTune app store and it's compatible with iPads (some apps only work on iPhones) then you should be able to sync it - if it's not syncing then have you tried deleting the app from your computer's iTunes and re-downloading it from the store ?
