Could not sign in

imac with 10.6.8 installed
just installed facetime 1.0.2(166) from apple store,
I always got this message:
" could not sign in. please check your network connection and try again "
my network connection is ok!
please help

Hi,
In the past there have been the odd instance of people not being able to access the Preferences of iChat from the Menu.
Deleting com.apple.ichat.plist seems to resolve this.
In many cases the issue did not arise again so deleting this .plist became the designated "fix".
Messages still uses the com.apple.ichat***.plists
I have the View Options for files and folders set to include the Modified date.
The com.apple.ichat.plist was updated more recently than com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist
I would be tempted to delete the first and try that then delete both if that did not work.
I am aware that this only deals with the symptoms and not the cause.
I would also consider either repairing the Keychain or checking that the User actually Owns it, and has permissions to Read and Write to it.

  • Could Not Sign In to App Store from iPad

    I am unable to sign into the App Store from both my iPad Air and my iPhone 4.
    When I enter the password, the following error message appears:
    Could Not Sign In
    FATAL::Unable to process your request. Please try again.
    I have reset the password via the Apple web site and can sign in to the web site with no issues. (evidnced by ability to post this).
    I have reset the iPad and no change.
    Get same error in iTunes Store.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • I am receiving the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' problem on Adobe Muse CC 2014 and I cannot access the xml file that is supposed to fix this issue?

    I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I have received the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' error when trying to upload my muse site to my ftp host, GoDaddy. I have successfully done this in the past and only recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the FAQ Adobe Muse Help | Uploading an Adobe Muse Site to a third-party hosting service and it said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says /*Not found*//*Not found*/.
    Can someone direct me to a working page with this file or provide a different solution? Thank you!

    Hello,
    As you are getting error [Access denied: 530] it means issue is with access. Either the username and password you are entering is incorrect or you do not have proper permissions.
    I would suggest you to contact Godaddy to either reset password or reset the permissions.
    Regards

  • IMessage on MacBook Pro "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."

    I am currently receiving this error message when trying to log in to iMessage on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks), "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
    I have never had an issue until the past few days as I have been setting up my new iPhone 5s. I used to have an iPhone 4.
    When I go to the 'Messages' App., Preferences> Accounts> the iMessage account is set as "(Inactive)".
    My Apple ID appears to be working fine in iCloud, the App. Store etc.
    Thank you for your help.

    Check Enable this account in Preferences. Try logging in again.

    When you have a oracle server running on the same physical machine, why do you need client to support your needs?
    As you said, your oracle client installation might be an error, u can always point BIN on app server to your server installation and start the server.That was true up to Oracle 11.1 because the 32bit librairies were shipped in ORACLE_HOME even if that one was a 64bit installation.
    It has been dramatically changed within Oracle 11.2 though. The 32bit libraries are not coming anymore within the Oracle 11.2 64bit, you have to explicitely install a 11.2 32bit client to make it work with Peoplesoft on Windows. And configure your Peoplesoft installation to work within that 32bit client.
    Consequently, if you have all together installed on the same server (Oracle database 11.2 64bit and Peoplesoft), you must have two Oracle homes : one for the 64bit database, one for the 32bit client.

  • IMessage Activation could not sign in IOS 8.1.3

    I recently had to erase my phone and restore from the cloud.  After doing so, I have been unable to turn on iMessage or FaceTime.  I'm receiving an error message when I log into iMessage with my AppleID stating "iMessage Activation.  Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again."
    Tons of threads out there about this.  I've tried every solution posted though.  I started simple....
    - Tried everything from http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201422
    -  -  - Confirmed wifi and cellular connections
    -  -  - Confirmed Date & Time was set to automatically
    -  -  - Turned off, restarted, turned on
    -  -  - Confirmed latest version of IOS (8.1.3)
    Then I tried solutions from the internet...
    - Turn off IMessage, turn it back on, tried signing into iMessage
    - Turn off IMessage, put on airplane mode, turn airplane mode off, tried signing in
    - All of the above, and restarted the phone
    - Confirmed no restrictions
    - Turned off wifi, tried signing in over cellular
    - Entered correct AppleID and incorrect password, then when it prompted I entered correct password.
    - Reset all network settings,  set up wifi again, tried signing in
    - Reset ALL settings
    What perplexes me is how the phone is able to recognize my AppleID in other areas, such as the iCloud & iTunes.... it logs in just fine.  Also, if I put a bogus AppleID into iMessage, it immediately recognizes a bad password.
    Somebody please toss me a bone here.

    So far, I've called Apple support twice with no resolution.  I have another call in this morning, though I do not know what else there is left to try.
    - We've tried signing my apple id out of all my devices (ipad, ipod, etc).
    - We've tried using itunes to restore the phone
    - We've tried setting the phone up as a new phone, and signing in to only iMessage
    I speculate this is related to the latest IOS release; 8.1.3

    Hey sklingen,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues signing into FAceTime. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268
    You may also want to reset your network settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: this will delete any network related settings (saved Wi-Fi passwords, etc), it will not erase any content from your device.
    Thanks,

  • I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred" keeps popping up.

    This is a question for a mini iPad...
    I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred.  I have tried shutting down and restarting. I've tried changing the password. I get the error message with free and not free apps. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.

  • App store error message "could not sign in" "an unknown error has occurred"

    has anyone else gotten this message when trying to sign into the app store:
    "could not sign in" "an unknown error has occurred"
    i know my password is correct, i signed in on my macbook and on my imac and no issue there.
    i called apple and they coulnd't figure out what it is, i reset my network settings and same thing. of course i can't do a restore because i'm at work and we don't have the new lighting cords here for me to hook up to my imac

    I experienced this problem, too -- and with the help of an Apple support rep, figured out a way out.
    Go into Settings and turn off automatic date and time, and set your phone back a year. Then go back and turn automating date and time back on, to get back to the present. Now go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores, click on your AppleID, and re-enter it and your password. Finally, go back to the App Store (or iTunes Store) and try to download what you had been trying before -- and if you're like me, it will now pop up with a new set of Terms and Conditions for you to approve. After you approve, you'll be able to download whatever you had been trying to.
    It appeared, in my case, that Apple needed to present me with a new Terms & Conditions to approve, but for some reason, iOS 6 and the Apple mother ship weren't communicating correctly about how to do that, and I was stuck with the "Could Not Sign In" message. Changing the iPhone's time and/or re-signing in via Settings > iTunes & App Stores resolved the roadblock for some reason. Hope this works for others as well!

  • Could Not Sign In. An unknown error has occurred (App Store on iPad)

    Hi,
    I've just bought an iPad mini today. I have also created an Apple ID which is work fine with FaceTime and iMessage (already test call and sent text). But when I tried to login to App Store it said "Could Not Sign In. An unknown error has occurred". I tried login with my son's account and it work fine. It just won't accept my newly create ID. I'm sure my password is correct because I can use it to login to this Support Communities page.
    What should I do?

    Try refreshing the ID by signing out, restart the iPad and then sign in again..
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download again.
