Why is the iCloud icon on my iPad mini dimmed

Why won't the iCloud icon light up on my iPad mini.  Also when I tap on mail, contacts and calendars in settings all the icons under accounts are also dimmed?
How do I get them all to light up again.

Go to Settings>General>Restrictions>Accounts (near the bottom) and set this to Allow Changes.

  • 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.

  • HT4759 I need to get the icloud icon on my iPad and iPhone.

    Help me. I need to get an icloud icon on my iPad and phone. As well my phone is and has been malfunctioning for months. I get ZERO help when I call, nor "promised" call backs.  Countless hours have left me frustrated, angry, and wondering why I have spent so much $$$ on your products.

    There is no "iCloud icon' on iOS. What exactly are you attempting to accomplish?

    This is a user-to-user forum. You are not addressing Apple employees (consequently, these are not "our" products). When you called whom? What number? And what malfunctioning? Without more information, it is difficult to know what advice to give.

  • The iCloud icon on my ipad is not accessible.  What do I do to set up iCloud on my ipad?

    When the new system hit my Ipad, I've had nothing but problems. The ICloud icon in setting is not accessible so I can use it to get my calendar back.  My calendar is completely empty on my ipad.  Any help?

    Do you use restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions>Allow Changes>Accounts.

  • HT5372 iCloud icon on my iPad mini.

    Somehow, I have selected an option that has hidden the iCloud icon from my screen. How can I restore it?

    Thanks for your response. Yes, I do see the icon in Settings>iCloud but I was certain I had an icon on one of the pages.
    I was told there was a way of  accessing iCloud from the iPad Mini to manage such things as catagories in Contacts and I was hoping to make some improvements.
    I find the contacts application on iPad is particularly poor and wanted to create catagories. Just as well I have Outlook on my PC.
    I'll keep looking. Thanks.

  • Why is the unlock-screen of my iPad mini showing black or blue lines?

    3 days ago, i bought an iPad mini at the apple store. Everything is working perfectly, but ever since I first started it, I'm noticing some black or blue lines at the bottom of the screeen on the unlock screen. They disappear after one second.
    I already updated to the latest version, and I did a hard-reset, but this didn't help.
    Does anyone know how to solve this?

  • Why has the iCloud menu on my iPad frozen the system?

    my iPad was in my bag for a few days and when I turned it on the iCloud backup menu came on but despite clicking OK nothing happens and the iPad is frozen to all other commands. The touchscreen doesn't seem to work even thought the iCloud menu blinks when I touch the OK button.

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons until your iPad restarts, so it won't show the message and you will be able to use the device

  • Why can't i see the skype icon on my ipad mini?

    the app has been installed for ages and i just recently noticed that the icon was was gone.
    I went to itunes, and sure enough it exists as one my purchases,and i expected to be able to reload form the cloud.
    however instead of the cloud download logo or the "buy" button, there was a button with "open" on it and sa soon as i press it, the app pops open on the ipad.
    so, the software is ceary  still there, but where's the start icon button thing gone, and how to get it back?

    Perhaps you have placed the Skype App in an App folder or moved it to a new App page?

  • Why is the notification center different on ipad mini and iPhone?

    For instance.. Weather shows in the notification center on ipad mini, and not on iPhone. Also, calculator shows on iPhone control center and not ipad mini. I can understand why the calculator doesn't display as an option for the ipad mini as the calculator isn't installed by default (for whatever reason), but why would weather show up on the ipad mini (where no native app exists), but not on the iPhone?

    Yes and Yes.
    When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
    Notifications view - on
    Today view - on
    Today summary - on
    Calendar day view - off
    Reminders - on
    Stocks - off
    Tomorrow summary - off
    Sort by Time
    The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
    Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
    Thanks for taking the time to help me!

  • I dont see the icloud icon on my desktop mini I have all the other devices in icloud but this computer is not included how can I includ it?

    I dont see the icon of icloud on preferences how can I get it?

    Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8)  < your profile
    You need to be running v10.7.2 Lion.
    Make sure your mini meets Lion General Requirements
    You can purchase and download Lion from the App Store that is already on your Mac since you are running v10.6.8
    You can locate the App Store app either from your Apple menu, the Dock, or the Applications folder.
    Or you can purchase the Lion thumb drive here  >  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

    You need to turn off the Restriction you set preventing changes to Accounts in the Settings.
