Why can i not sign in to my apple tv even though i know apple id and password

i want to sign in to my apple tv and i cannot why

Responses can only be as helpful as the details given.  A single vauge sentense does not provide much to go on.  What are you signing into?  The WiFi setup, home sharing, photo stream, Netflix, they all use a differnt Id and only a few of them are the Apple ID. You do not sign in to anything to get into the AppleTV.  It is open by default.  You only have to provide a sign in for the services you want AppleTV to connect to.

    Hi,
    You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
    Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
    If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences  folder again.
    This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist 
    This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
    Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
    It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
    Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
    This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
    This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
    The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences.  However there are exceptions.
    You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
    Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
    This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
    Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
    Chose the Get Info option.
    In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
    Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
    If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
    Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House  icon one)
    You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
    Can you confirm this ?

  • HT204053 I have one Apple ID and password, when I sign in iCloud enter Apple ID and password but can not Sign up " This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account." Why?

    I have one Apple ID and password, when I sign in iCloud enter Apple ID and password but can not Sign up " This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account." Why?

    You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, set the account up on a Mac or an iPhone/iPad, then you will be able to sign into it on your PC.

    Not sure, but iAd Producer probably has nothing to do with this.

  • I'm trying an email address i know is mine yet still getting this message:"That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."

    I keep getting this message:  "That Apple ID is already in use.If this Apple ID was created by you, simply sign in with your Apple ID and password.If it does not belong to you, try again using a different name."
    I'm trying to create a new id and e-mail using an e-mail address that is mine and has been mine for over a year - any ideas why this could be happening?

    Trying where? What sort of email address? The following answer is based on a guess as to what you are talking about.
    If you already have an @me.com address, perhaps as a result of having had a MobileMe account, and you are now setting up an iCloud account with an Apple ID you will find you will be asked to create a new @me.com address, and that you can't add your existing one because it is already an Apple ID.
    You can do one of two things:
    1. Sign out at System Preferences; sign in with your existing @me.com address and enable Mail.
    2. Stay signed in with the present ID and add your @me.com address in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    If you have further questions, or if your situation is different from what I've assumed, do please post back, but in a suitable forum - this one is specifically about using these Forums.

  • HT204266 Why can't I submit a review about an app, even though I own it?

    Why can't I submit a review about an app, even though I own it?

    How do we know why you can't submit a review if we don't know what you have tried?
    Tap on Ratings and Review, then tap on Write A Review and a window pops up asking for your Apple ID password. Once the password is verified another window pops up in which you can tap on the "star" rating that you want to give and you can type your review and submit it. What isn't working for you?

  • I can't send pictures to 90% of my contacts even though I know some of them can receive pics why won't my iPhone 4 send pictures??

  • HT5622 When I sign in with my apple ID and password then goto password and security, i do not get the option to reset my security information. Why not?

    I do not have the option to change my security information when I sign in to my Apple ID and goto Password and security. Why not?

    Just to be clear - what are you signing into?  You could be talking about connecting or setting a computer or device to your icloud or itunes account.  You could be talking about logging into your icloud account using a browser to icloud.com.  Or you may have followed a link to an Apple page that lets you edit your account.
    If you can't remember your security questions/answers then go to Express Lane  and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer.

  • HT4356 Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos and anything from safari

    Why can I not print attachments from gmail on my ipad mini, it will print photos or anything from safari?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does iMessage on my wife's iPad ask her to sign in with her Apple ID and password?

    When my wife tried to open iMessage this morning a dialogue box came up saying:
                                               iMessage
             iMessages can be sent between iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and Mac
                                 Learn more about iMessage
                   Apple ID: (given in dialogue)
                    Password: (wants you to enter)
                                Sign In
                Forgot your Apple ID or password?
                            Create New Apple ID
    She has used iMessage frequently without being required to sign in. This issue doesn't affect her iPhone or my iPad. There is no way of dismissing the message and using the App. I guess we're concerned about whether this is legitimate or not or somebody trying to access our account illicitly. Any thoughts?

    it is legitimate.

  • How do you reset the security questions when you havent used a credit card to make any purchases, only the gift cards. Apple support will not help me even though i know my account and apple id and password?

    Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!

    I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.

    What operating system does your iMac have? (please always post your operating system to prevent confustion).
    If it's pre-Lion you will have to set Mail up manually:

  • IPad 2 with iOS 7 not able to login to Apple ID and password

    I got my iPad 2 yesterday and I discovered this morning I could not login to my apple account. I tried to download an app, put in my password and i was prompted with a message that said I could not connect to the iTunes/apple store. I've tried many ways such as clearing cookies and data, setting 24 hour time zone, but none of these things worked. Is there a way to log back in? And if so, how?

  • Why can I not sign in to icloud on my pc?

    I can not sign into icloud on my pc I have vista sp2 system  I can sign in if I log in as a visitor. The little wheel just keeps spinning

    Because your contacts aren't actually "stored" on your computer. They are stored on the iCloud server and your computer subscribes to them whilst logged in.
    Why do you need to log out of iCloud anyway? You need to remain logged in to use any of it.
