Why won't iCloud message go away?

My ipad has a message on the main screen that says:  This ipad has not been backed up in 4 weeks.  The message will not go away when I push OK & it will not let me shut the ipad down.  It is esentially frozen.  I have gone in to manage my icloud to allow more room for back up.  Still not helping. 

Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
Then go to:
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > Select your device > Show all apps and turn off anything you don't need backed up.
You may be too short on local storage to do a back up.
Check here: Settings > General > Usage
Try transfering any photos and videos to your computer.

  • Why won't icloud merge or backup all my contacts?

    Why won't icloud copy all my contacts in Outlook?  Some are backed up and merged some aren't!

    I had similar problem.  This worked for me, hope it helps:
    In Mail
    Open Preferences>Accounts
    Select Advanced tab for the iCloud account
    Set Authentication to 'Apple Token'
    The Password field on the Account Info tab should now have disappeared.
    Mail no longer asks for password every time it launches.
    (now i just have to solve why mail launches an upgrade dialogue every single time it opens and then proceeds to try and re-download about 25,000 emails...)
    Why the Authentication method suddenly switched when I upgraded ML to Mav who knows, but it seems incredible that no-one at Apple came across this, it's one of their prime apps.
    In fact, since upgrading to Mav I've had numerous system wide problems with my iCloud accounts not connecting properly or stably - what on earth are the thousands of engineers at Apple doing?

  • Why won't iCloud com display calendar subscriptions?

    I understand iCloud.com will not display subscribed calendars that are pushed to iCloud. But can anyone explain why? I know how to subscribe to calendars on my MacBook with the Calendar app there, and on my iPhone 6 as well. I know how to keep them in sync via iCloud, and it works. But when I log on to iCloud.com, those subscriptions are not displayed, and after doing some research, it seems to be working as designed...that is, Apple wants it to be that way. I just can't figure out why that's a good thing.

    You have to go to icloud.com on a computer, not an iOS device.  Also, you won't see the iCloud backup on icloud.com.  You can only tell it was successful by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and look at the very bottom under Back Up Now.  If it was it will say "Last Backup:" and show the time your backup completed.

  • Why won't Verizon Messages app work on phone with Wi-Fi only?

    I've successfully downloaded and installed the app from Google Play on a phone of mine that I only use wi-fi on.  There is no cellular service to this particular device.  It's set to airplane mode, with wi-fi on, essentially making it a 4.5 inch tablet, or like an android equivalent to an iPod touch.  When I start the app though, it displays the screen shown in the included screenshot, and won't let me connect to the service, despite the fact that a wi-fi connection is present.  I've seen that this is an issue that some others have had.  I have Verizon service with my main phone, I'm not sure why the app that supposedly lets you access your texts via wifi will only do that on tablets or phones with cell service.  Is there any way to get this working? Will there be any updates to allow the functionality that I'm looking for?  I've read that it was present at one time, so why the change?

    According to the Verizon website you are wrong.
    Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
    It states "
    Use Wi-Fi to send and receive messages on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser"
    I find personally that you are correct, is the website designed to mislead us? it is the same on the play store for google.
    The difference is not just in one place, it is everywhere it is advertised. So it was meant to work but to charge customers the function was removed is my understanding.

  • Why won't iCloud stay on in Keynote for iPad?

    In settings, the toggle to turn iCloud on in Keynote for iOS won't stay on. Works fine on iPhone, but they are not syncing with each other. Everytime I turn it on with the iPad, switch to Keynote, then come back to settings, the toggle turns itself off. Yes, I have documents and data turned on in the iCloud settings on both the iPhone and iPad.

    Have you tried uninstalling keynote, restarting and reinstalling.

  • Why won't the messages stop?!?

    I was woken at 0331 this-morning by a message from Telstra telling me that I have used 50% of my data allowance. There was a second, identical message at 0430. A third message at 0526, at which stage I angrily logged in to my account and turned notifications off. Despite turning notifications off, the messages have continued to arrive on my phone; at 0557, 0635, 0720, and the latest at 0744. I'm getting really, really pissed-off now, Telstra, for two reasons: 1. Why the hell does your system send people messages at 3.30a.m.?  In what universe is that even possibly acceptable?  It's not an emergency, it's a data-usage notification, and it is unbelievably inconsiderate to be sending people messages like that in the middle of the bloody night. 2. Why the hell haven't the messages stopped since I turned off the notifications? I shall await a reply, and I do hope said reply is more helpful than the robo-script replies I got from Telstra's email contact a few weeks ago when I had the same problem of SMS notifications arriving in the middle of the night! Totally unsatisfactory, Telstra.

    Well I am not 100% sure how it works however let’s say you were using data last night and you went through 50%, 75% and then 100% of your data. 5 hours later in the middle of the night it sends you a 50% data usage message, 5 minutes after that it sends you a 75% usage message and so on and so forth. It’s not an ideal system because of the delay however I guess if you weren’t to get the messages people would be unhappy about that as well. The delay in the usage is the problem. 

  • Why won't icloud download?

  • Why Won't ICloud let me upload ANY files to Iwork section?

    Ok so like many others, When I try to upload a file to Icloud (A pages File) I ALWAYS get an error "There was a problem uploading a doument. Please try again." No matter how many times I try, I get this error. What also ***** is it won't give me the cog in the upper right hand corner with the options to upload. My only choice is to drag and drop, which gives me the error. I created this account on an IOS5 Device (My friends, because I don't have one, I have a mac but can't enable the ICloud specifically on this mac). I do not plan to use ICloud to transfer between IOS devices and computer, only between computer and computer and store all my misc. pages files there. However, I should still be able to upload my IWord 09' documents, presentations, ect. When I go to the Iwork page, it encourages me to buy the programs, even though I already have them. Please can anyone tell me how to get it to upload my pages and keynote files?

    I have it on my mac, but the one that doesn't let me setup icloud on it. So basically I need to enable the icloud on a computer or device that has pages, then it will let me upload pages anywhere? (thats kind of bull but I guess if it works). The only problem is my mac that is 10.7.5 is a laptop I'm provided with and for some reason the administrators decided to block the use of Icloud on it (The system prefrences not the website). So I guess until I can get my account on a device with Pages or something, Im out of luck. Thanks for you help. You are the only person who actually has ever provided a straightforward answer/support rather than just having teh subject changed like in most discussions.

  • Why won't my messages sync on both my iphone and ipad?

    Since I've installed the latest software update for my iphone 4 and ipad 3 my messages are not syncing with both devices.  Today for example I had a message sent to me at 2pm that went to my ipad (which was at home) instead of my phone.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I have the same email address and contact number set up for both........

    I found a solution that worked for me. I had this same problem and I feel like I tried everything. No matter how many time I synced, the songs appeared to be on my phone, but they would just get skipped over if I tried to play them ("ghost" songs). The answer is not checking and unchecking artists/playlists/etc in iTunes. The phone still thinks the songs are there so it won't sync them to the phone. Here's what to do: go to Settings --> Music and then make sure "Show All Music" is off. Then go to the Music app and try to play through your songs. Now, when a song is skipped over it should no longer appear in the iPhone's library. Once all songs are skipped (could take a few minutes depending on the size of your library), the "ghost" songs will disappear. On the next sync iTunes will put them all back on the phone. Hope this helps.

  • Why won't my message notifications come up?

    It's not showing I have any messages until I physically go into the message app and then it'll say I have a message. Why? How can I fix this so it'll notify me when I get a text.

    Hello bafficr,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    Badges: An image or number appears on the application icon.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
