TS4268 Please help! After updating Apple ID info. FaceTime & iMessage are not recognising my Apple ID?!

After updating my Apple ID info. FaceTime & iMessage logged out of my Apple ID account on both my iPad and iPhone and are not logging back using the same Apple ID claiming that my user name or password was incorrect?! Surprisingly, it's logged in on both Messeges and Facetime on my Mac. My Apple ID is well and running on my iOS devices for the Appstore and all of my emails are verified with my Apple ID when checked online. I tried logging through a different account, which worked for that account but it didn't allow me back to my initial and primary account, I even tried to edit again some of the information on my Apple ID hoping that it'll allow me to sign in afterwards but with no luck, I tried both WIFI and cellular to connect and it also didn't work. Please help me! I need to sign my iPhone's and iPad's FaceTime and iMessage to my Apple ID again.

Maybe your location is not supported. I know it might have worked before but with the iOS 6 update there seems to be a conflict. Try changing your location on both your account and iPad using this guide. It might help you.
1) Go here: http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/manage/

4) Type in your Apple ID and Password and click Sign in
5) Select Addresses from the left hand side
6) Click Edit

8) Click Save at the bottom of the page
9) Go to your Apple Device Settings - General - International - Region Format - Select United Kingdom
10) Press the Home button
11) Log into Facetime and iMessage with your CORRECT APPLE ID AND PASSWORD

After updating to IOS 6.1.2 simcard is not recognised.

Other features of phone work including WiFi etc. However states "no simcard installed". Soft reset and itunes sync doesn't work. Any solutions? Not including getting a new sim since it worked 5mins ago. Currently awaiting 6.1.2 to download to my computer so i can try restore. Epic fail apple.

What happens when you try?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

You can go back to your past settings. Just connect your Ipod to Itunes and click on your ipod. The first tab to the left gives you the option.

- Try moving the backup file to a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new one.. It is locate here and you may have to have show hiddn files turned on.
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- Also try here assuming a PC. The link provides a link for XP.

TS1369 After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

Hi, Jennifer.
First, try resetting the device. The first article will walk you through this process. I am unsure which iPod nano you have so I will include the basic article. From there, select your version for troubleshooting steps.

HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Ipod shuffle not recognised by computer after update to iTunes 7

I have just updated to iTunes 7 and now my computer will not recognise my iPod Shuffle. ("Periferique USB inconnu" - unknown USB peripheral in English.)
I have tried to reset it but until it appears in either the iTunes source window or in Windows explorer there is nothing more I can do.
Another problem is that when I try to run the iPod updater 2006-1-10 it tells me that I have the incorrect version of iPod service amd then aborts.
Finally I have misplaced my iPod installation disk so I cannot try reinstalling it.
Can anyone out there help me???

Unsolved till yet. I´ve read all the other threads touching this theme, but nothing substantial. No solution. No comments of Apple.
I´ve take a look into the files with Wordpad and I can see the lyrics inside the files. But, again, with the iPod nothing except the title.

After updating Itunes to 11.0.4.4 my sync will not work as it says there is insufficient space when nothing else changed?

I recently updated my iTunes to 11.0.4.4. After doing this, my ipod touch 4Gen will no longer sync as it gives me a statement about the system not having enough memory left to sync ["The iPod...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 2.73GB required)"]. It has 7.96 GB free on a 32GB iPod. It synced just fine prior to the update and I did not add more than 7.96 GB of files to the library after updating iTunes. Please Help! This is a fustrating situation where I can not sync my music, or anything else for that matter, with this issue. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Illaas,
I tried the manual method. I was able to set the music/video to manual and then restarted the entire system. After restart, I re-attached the ipod touch to the computer. The sync automatically ran for everything that wasn't set to manual and it completed without a problem. I then reset the music/video to automatically sync and restarted the entire coputer/ipod set again. This time when I re-attached the ipod, EVERYTHING synced and there were no problems reported. I've never had to do this before, but I will keep it in mind if something like this happens again. Thank you for pointing me to the manual sync.

My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.

Here's a couple things to try:
1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
Hope one of these works for you!

Trying to update iTunes on a laptop with Vista.

A friend is trying to update iTunes on a laptop with Vista. She gets this: Error writing to file: C:\Config.Msi.\78efb0.rbf. Verify that you have access to that directory.
I thought maybe it was an issue with Administrator privileges, but she's the only user on the computer. The file does not already exist in the root directory. (I was thinking of deleting it.) I googled it and got nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks.

No problem.
If there is Kaspersky on board, we should try some general-principles getting-past-security-software-interference troubleshooting.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (32-bit installer file) or iTunes64Setup.exe to your Hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Restart the PC. After the PC restarts do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start the install by doubleclicking the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Any better luck with the security software shut down?
