I'm setting up my MacBook Air and it tells me to sign in with my apple ID so that I can set up features like iTunes and iCloud and such but when I try to sign in it says there's a server error. What do I do? Do I try to skip the step? How can I fix this?
The following previous discussion may help, in particular the last post (1/22/2014 by frankjet7): https://discussions.apple.com/message/21295536#21295536

Set up new MacBook Air and can't connect to wifi
Setting up new MacBook Air and it won't connect to my wifi. I'm still in the setup mode and don't want to skip the apple id section and install at a later date. HELP, I can't seem to go back to the network page either to change if it was wrong.

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!
Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you. -
My daughter and I were both on same Apple ID. We are trying to change hers but when we do, it says her email is already associated with an Apple ID but when we try to get the password, it says that it could not be verified. How do we correct this?
Not from your end. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

i am trying to set up icloud on my iphone when i go to settings icloud it says verifying and a box pops up for me to sign in with my apple id but that has my old apple id on it. help??
Have you already verified your "new" email address? If not then please check your inbox for a confirmation email (also the junk folder). If you do not have a confirmation email then please sign in at https://appleid.apple.com and press "verify" for confirming your email address.

I bought a brand new mac and follow through setting up process with my apple id but when I open App Store I don't see lion into the purchases list. why?
Updates come through Software Update not the App Store. If you have to reinstall Lion that is done via Internet Recovery.
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
OS X Lion- Run Software Update to use Lion Internet Recovery
Lion maintenance and recovery operate via the Recovery HD. It's possible to create a separate recovery disk on a flash drive using OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant.
To boot into the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button. -
When I try to connect to iCloud, it says there is a server error and does not log me in. This happens every time. How can I circumvent this server error?
Try restarting your computer and your router.

hyy i m using ipad and i want to upgrade it to latest os update 8 but when i tried to update it got updated only to 5.1.1 what should i do to get further update??
If your iPad has no front or back cameras, then you have an original iPad 1.
The original iPad 1 cannot be upgraded any further than iOS 5.1.1.

You need the Apple ID and password from the previous owner who set the Activation Lock. Where did you get this phone?

I verified my Apple ID but I can't download from AppStore it say you didn't verify it what should i do???
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, and MacKeeper can prevent apps from downloading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Problems with wireless printer set up for Macbook Air and iMac
I'm not having success in setting up my Macbook Air (2012 ML version) and iMac wirelessly to a new Epson 837 printer. I've tried darn near everything and am coming to the conclusion that perhaps it's a router issue. Are there known issues with the Netgear N600? It's supposed to be Airprint compatible but yet my ipad and iphone doesn't recongnize either.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!Yup, and since all your devices can probably access the Internet and other services over the router, you may want to study the printer's manual or use other Epson resources to figure out why that thing can't be talked to.
Oh, did I mention that already...? -
