Trying to sign using Apple ID and get could not sign in server error

I just got a new iPod touch and am trying to sign into the app store.  I have created an Apple ID and got a confirmation that it it works but when I try to sign on I get the following message:
Could not Sign In 
Server Error
What would be causing this?

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you sign in on your computer?
- Could be a temporary Apple problem.

  • I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

    I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID (which I have forgotten the password) and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

    Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

  • Getting "Could not complete your request" error all the time

    Whenever I try to do anything in Fireworks CS6 (CC desktop version) I get the error message "Could not complete your request. An error occurred".  The only exception is when I try to preview an image I get "Could not render the database. An error occurred"
    This literally happens with any action, from opening a file to changing any attribute of an object (e.g. colour, position, size).  Try to draw a new object - same error.  Delete one - same error.
    Weirdly it does seem to complete the action after I "Ok" the error message.
    Any ideas? 
    I am running this on Mac OSX 10.9.1 on a pretty new MacBook Pro.  I've checked for updates and I'm running the latest version.  (I'm running the trial version, as I am trying to decide whether or not to switch over to CC from my desktop apps, but I would hope it is the same as the full commercial version)

    For me the Fireworks stopped when it got to "Intializing Tab Windows", then a crashed and  displayed "Could not complete your request. an error occurred" and would never load. Basically dead. I couldn't use it at all. My whole workfow came to a stand still.Fireworks-Error.jpg
    BACKGROUND
    Just before this happened, I was trying a new feature from within Dreamweaver. While inside Dreamweaver, I could double-click an image file and it opened in my Fireworks to be edited. I thought . . . Wow, this is really cool. I edited that image and closed it and continued on my work. Since then, that "Connection" between applications has become permanent. Fireworks "THINKS" it is still connected to Dreamweaver. Later Fireworks would NOT open/load at. I would always get the above error.
    PARTIAL SOLUTION
    BTW: I had to do this twice, because the first time, I missed a file somewhere.
    I had to completely uninstall all ADOBE applications. I mean everything! I had CS3 & CS4 and Adobe Readers on my system.
    Since I'm on the mac, I went through the "Application Support" both user and system and the "Preferences" for both user and system and deleted everything that had either "adobe" or "macromedia" in it. There was also a file in the "Launch Agent & Daemons".
    I emptied the trash and did a power off restart. Then I reinstalled CS6. Now Fireworks at least loads and I can use it again, but it still isn't the same.
    OBSERVATION
    Fireworks and Dreamweaver are still "Connected". It won't save an existing PNG file as itself, it displays an error, "That file is open in another application", which is NOT true. I have to use the "Save As" option, and use the Finder to rename that file. I also notice an extra file labeled ex:0000056 which looks like the file I tried to save.
    So at least I can use my Fireworks again although it is irritating. I don't know how to "CUT" the connection between applications. Uninstalling & reinstalling did NOT reset this, the only option left would be a backup, wipe and fresh install of my entire laptop. I just don't have time to do that right now. Hope that helps someone else.

  • Who Uses DW? And, I Could Not Answer The Question.

    I was in conversation with a friend recently and mentioned I was taking a DW tutorial and thought it was really nice. I mentioned that I could easily see a corporation or professional developers using DW. So, my friend asks me, "Who uses DW? Can you show me a website?" And, of course I could not answer.
    Can someone show me an example of a large website(s) developed with DW without upsetting developers or the company? I have NO doubt that thousands of examples exist, but since I am new to DWCC I could not give examples.
    Thanks,
    David In Texas

    I have built several cms web sites and a complete company intranet and ems in Dreamweaver but, and here's the but, I use Dreamweaver because of the UI and the live view features. Most of the PHP coding I do only starts with the default Dreamweaver server behaviors and bindings. I use them because I can generate code that gets the concept down and working in just a few clicks.
    Most of the PHP is fairly good, but I spend a bunch of time editing code by hand. Dreamweaver is a very good code editor and the code hinting is great.
    CSS is kind of OK in Dreamweaver, better in CC. It's very easy to get the basics down quickly. Here again, I end up doing a lot of tweaking by hand because it faster. The new CSS design tools in CC are amazing for organizing code.
    I work mostly on a Mac and Coda is also a tool that I use, but only for code cleanup and customizing code. Coda is hands down the best code editor I've ever seen for web work, but Dreamweaver beats it all over the place for tweaking the look and feel when you start working with the live view, especially in CC.
    I hope this helps. As others have said, Dreamweaver is a good tool, but an effective, secure, efficient and innovative web site is more a matter of careful planning and collaboration than the tools used to write the code.

  • Older versions of Apple Updater and Bonjour can not be deleted

    I sent back my 1st Gen. Nano on recall. I then tried to sync the new 6th Gen. Nano to my iTunes 9.0. iTunes said I had to upgrade to iTunes 10.... When I tried to upgrade I got a message saying older versions of Apple updater and Bonjour could not be deleted. Also said something about Apple Software msi.dll not found.
    Going through the online Apple support procedures I was told to delete iTunes, which I did. It is now gone although I think it is in "My Music" but I don't know how to get it back to where it was.
    I called support and talked to a Asian Lady who spoke poor English and talked VERY fast. As I am 76 and hard of hear, which I told her at the begining, it was hard to talk with her. She told me I had no warrantee service available to me. I told her that the replacement Nano had a 90 day warrantee, which it does. I told her I felt if Apple was providing me with a replacement that required software updates to function in iTunes then their software to download the latest iTunes should contain whatever it needs to do so. SHE HUNGUP on me!!!!!!
    Now my question to you folks, how do I retrieve iTunes from the "My Music" location?
    And how do I do/get whatever I need to upgrade iTunes?
    Please speck like you are talking to an idiot as I am pretty dense on this.
    I did follow Apples on line procedures and this is the mess I'm in.
    Many thanks, Bill

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
    In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it go through properly this time?

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.
