inactive iCloud in Yosemite

Hello

iCloud is inactive in the accounts of my Admin and Std.  However, every time I sign my Admin POS, 3 screens pop up, one after the other.

the first says "iCloud Password-> please enter your (my email address) password.»  2nd screen says the same thing, and the 3rd of the Mac «»

Unable to connect to iCloud because of a problem ("my email address-> go to the preferences, etc." Ususally, I just click Cancel or later or what)

causes the screen to disappear.  If I go into Preferences, I show a screen that shows said "iCloud is inactive" and tries to activate me.  I've just close it.

I don't know if there is a problem with the system, with iCloud, with my Admin account, but it happens every time I have connect and a pain.  Can someone tell me what is happening here and how I can solve/fix the it?

Thank you-

Try this.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Place the following in the trash, then restart.

Close all running applications. Put the following in the Trash:

(1) in the folder ~/Library /, put the Caches folder to the trash.

(2) in the ~/Library/Application Support / folder, put iCloud folder to the trash.

(3) in the ~/Library/Preferences folder /, put the MobileMeAccounts.plist file in the trash.

  • ICloud sync broken between Yosemite (too old for El Capitan) Mac and iOS9.3 on devices, for all Apple applications. Any solution?

    Since that is new iPad and iPhone one last week, with iOS 9.3.4, I can't rely on iCloud (iCloud Drive) for synchronization between these devices and my iMac on docs or entries that I create in Pages, Numbers, calendar, Contacts, Notes, reminders.

    With no synchronization goes, I am now frustrated with Apple based applications.  The only solution is to buy a new iMac that can do El Capitan for iCloud to synchronize?

    My 2008 iMac cannot go beyond the latest version of Yosemite.  Even apps that I continue to use without problems - except iCloud who can't do what it should.  According to me, only yosemite on the iMac in 2008, was made bankrupt by the last iOS.

    That's the problem - unless someone has found a workaround.  Without a functional iCloud, sync that I've been waiting for has disappeared.  I need to change how to manage what I do on the devices and the computer.

    I would like to find a way to "merge" safe documents created in these applications on both devices and the computer. Initially a merger will have duplicates.  I can't let the docs on any device replace the docs on the other.

    To avoid any loss of docs on any device and computers, I'm afraid to try to use iTunes.  So I won't try it.  Maybe I need to go "manual" and look at the files on each and do the merge manually, by sending an e-mail.  Help!  I discovered this by accident and now that I look closer I see that synchronization does not occur.

    Any Mac that can run in Yosemite can run El Capitan. Early 2008 iMacs can run El Capitan.

    Hello

    The first picture is the default Action, and I suspect that it is for the second.

    If you would like the first to appear empty then delete com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist

    For access to this has you need to use a Finder window an Access then th go Menu while pressing the ALT key, and then click the library that appears.

    Go to preferences and find the file and delete it (drag it to the trash).

    I don't know what .plist holds the Apple ID used in the part of the iCloud or system preferences.

  • iMessage inactive account

    The Message app does not work on my MacBook Pro. I tried looking for the community but have not found a resolution. I have a MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012) running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.

    Message has worked with Yosemite, but stopped working after the installation of El Capitan. More specifically, when I go into Preferences-> accounts I get a my iTunes account which is grayed out and said (inactive) iMessage. In the real application of the Messages, I am unable to send or receive messages.

    I use the same account on iPhone and iPad iTunes and these work with beautiful Messages.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The iMessages it takes in Messages and Apple ID.

    Most people use the same as the one they use to iCloud in system preferences.

    However, they may be different because there is no option to activate the ID iCloud BOF Messages, FaceTime or iTunes, the App Store (or game Center)

    Internet accounts in system preferences will show Jabber, AIM and Yahoo account which may be activated in Messages for the cat.

    I assume you mean this preferences

    The "Enable this account" box IS visible (I assume that you have not until now and he's waiting for a password)

    IF you use 2 verification step, you must create a password for the specific Application for Messages.

  • How to reset the iCloud security code

    Can you reset the Security Code iCloud until one has the entered incorrectly too many times?

    (I am connected to iCloud on my MacBook and want to connect on my iPad, but am unsure of the security code to use, so I want to reset it on the MacBook.)

    Apple Help topic for If you register your iCloud Security Code wrong too many times... says:

    On a Mac using OS X Yosemite or later:

    Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click iCloud.

    Click Options next to keychain.

    Click on change the Security Code, and enter a new cryptogram iCloud.

    My prefs do not show 'Options' beside keychain. (Keyring is enabled).

    I have to go through the process of entry that he incorrectly too many times on the iPad before 'Options' will appear on the Mac?

    There is no way to reset the iCloud security code as it comes to Apple servers.  What specific problems you encounter when you try to connect to your iPad?

  • Question about iCloud upgrade?

    Hi all.

    Uses iPhone running on iOS 9.0.2. Intend to start to use iCloud for it services mainly: get my contacts to my address book on my iMac [mid-2011 running on Yosemite 10.10.4]. I have a backup of my contacts phone in iCloud, but these data are not displayed for sticking on the contact of my iMac book. Use iCloud drive? Honestly, I don't know even what iCloud drive means, but when I was invited to get updated, I gave up to clicking on it because I wasn't sure of the implications. Would be clicking on upgrade to iCloud result in my phone also get updated to the new iOS 10? FYI, I use my NOTES (version 3.3) on the iMac to prepare sermons which then get 'automatically' to my iPhone and iPad, and I'm very very happy with this state of affairs. If upgrading the iCloud drive would result in teams relative to the data transfer NOTES freely from one device to another, I refrain from going in the upgrade. Your opinions and advice are sought.

    Best regards and take care,

    Dr. Christophe

    The above is a bit confusing to understand so I think you need to develop a little further.  You say "get your contacts on my contacts on my iMac.  Where are the contacts currently residing?  They reside only on your iPhone or on your Mac?

    You also mentioned you "have a backup of my contacts phone in iCloud, but these data are not displayed for sticking on the contact of my iMac book."  If this is the case, it would seem your contacts are already in iCloud, but it doesn't seem to be filling your devices, is this assessment correct?

    No, the upgrade of your iCloud storage space would be not upgraded to the latest iOS on your iPhone.

    It "will not result in teams' as you said well that if he does (and it shouldn't), then back to this community forum and someone will be happy to help.

    In addition, it will not affect your Notes database.  Allowing only iCloud (no), means that you will have access to all your data on all devices - it will synchronize all your data on the devices so that they are immediately available.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Solution of fast backup, photos of google or iCloud photo library?

    Hey there Apple community, im in a bit of a situation difficult and need a few thoughts. My iPhone more than 6 s is fully charged to 64 GB of photos and applications. My iMac is fully loaded with photos in iphoto, Yosemite. I have 10% left in my iMac HD. It won't let me save my iphone. I know I go through my iphoto library and organize and delete some photos and consolidate the events before migrating to the new application photos and then move it to icloud photo library, but I'm very limited on time in the next few months and won't be able to do. I wrestle on a quick temporary solution for backup, but don't want to spoil or lose my precious photos and other data.

    But this is what im thinking, tell me if this would mess things up.

    I would like to either temporarily back up all my photos on Google photos for now from my iphone, and then when I'm ready, I'm going to migrate my iphoto library all on my imac to the photo library to icloud and then transfer my photo library from google to the photo library icloud (but not sure. If it works Someone at - it experience with google pictures and Mac?).

    Or I simply activate the iCloud library of photos on my phone while it backs up my current pictures on my phone last year and then optimize my storage on my phone. Then a few months starting now to migrate my iphoto library 268 GB of Photos app on my iMac running Yosemite and then migrate the library of Photos in this same icloud photos library that I opened a few months back from my phone (I understand I will pay $10 per month for the size of the library). I feel like the latest one is the best option, but I'm not sure if I do it my icloud library won't sync and consolidate properly because I started with my current pictures on my phone and then brought in my library of photos together for the last 5 years at a later date. How do you think any community?

    Why not get an external drive and move the photo library of the computer to the outside. If successful, you can then remove the library on the computer, or just keep it as a backup.

  • How to create a @icloud not sent alias in mail OSX 9.3 10.11

    How can I create a @icloud not sent by alias in Mail 9.3 running OS x 10.11?

    I read all the links help Apple.

    It's easy with the IMAP account to create aliases @icloud - preferences / account number / change the alias - that sends you on your iCloud account.

    It's easy with POP account to create an alias [email protected] - preferences / account number / change the alias - what you can do it directly in the window pop up.

    What I can't understand how to do it is to create an alias of [email protected] in my iCloud IMAP account. It has been possible in Yosemite

  • iCloud Drive on my mac stops the synchronization of non-standard files

    In my iCloud account, I created two folders (individuals and businesses) in addition to standard folders.  Standards are iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, etc.  On my MacBook Pro (OSX Yosemite V10.10.5), these non-standard files synchronizes any more.

    A solution is to disable iCloud drive, and then restart, but the problem is recurring.  In addition, it is a lot of your time, because whenever I turn it on, it deletes all of my computer and you should download again on restart.

    Is there a solution to this?  Non standard folders are not supported?

  • iBooks/iCloud problem: all the books transformed into "encrypted files".

    I recently downloaded all my iBook (files PDF and epub files) on the iCloud / iDrive with the iBook on my iPad app. Many worked for awhile, but when I tried to use iBooks after a few weeks of inactivity, none of my downloaded iBooks were visible in iBooks. I looked in the iDrive and there is a section of iBooks, that seems to have all my old iBook (15 GB) files, but each file appears as "Encrypted File". I have no idea on how to decrypt these files so that I can use them again.

    The iBooks interface displays only the empty shelves.

    I don't know what triggered this loss of all my books. Anyone have an idea how I could recover my books?

    Overall, I must say that I am very disappointed with the whole iCloud / iDrive system. It took an eternity to download files, the data transfer is extremely slow and I'm not even able to download iBooks from my PC to the iCloud. I have much better experiences with Google Drive or Dropbox, which operate in a transparent way through everything, platform. I guess that the iCloud / iDrive works only in an all-Apple configuration

    I have the same problem too, all my files epub in the ibooks app disappeared after I have sync my iphone on icloud drive and when I checked the ibooks on my icloud storage it appears as "encrypted file.

    Help, please!
