Apple TV keeps telling me there is a problem with my apple ID and password when I try to connect to home sharing. I have checked and rechecked and re-entered several times with same message.

I just bought an Apple TV and am trying to set it up. I am connected to wireless, is having difficulties setting time and date. When I try to connect to iTunes and sharing. It keeps telling me that there is a problem with my apple ID and password. I have quadruple checked and re-entered and it won't recognise it. What do I do? Dan.

Sounds like it is more an issue of connecting to the internet. Not just the WiFi Some people have reported that performing a power cycle on their Internet router solved this.

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.

I had the same error it was due to a program called Little Snitch, it's somewhat like a firewall. I changed the settings in Little Snitch to allow network connections in iTunes and now I can enable Home Sharing. Maybe you should try changing some firewall settings.

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

HT5622 Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple?

Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple? I can not make any update because the old Apple ID don't work any more. I check and I have my new user all over in my phone. Help me please!

All apps are tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them.
They can not be transferred to a new Apple ID.
You will have to use the Apple ID and password used to download them.
If you do not wish to do so, erase them and download them under the new ID. This will wipe any data in the app and you will have to pay for them again.

My MacBook Pro keeps telling me there was a problem connecting to a time capsule that no longer exists on my network.

The error showing states "There was a problem connecting to the server 'name of my old time capsule' ". However, that time capsule has since been replaced by a new time capsule. Why does my computer continue to try to connect to the old time capsule. It has no trouble connecting to the new time capsule. In fact, while conducting a Time Machine backup to the new Time Capsule, the error message popped up concerning the old time capsule. Very frustrating because this message stays on top of other windows and when it pops up, I must stop what I am doing to to make it go away. Right now, I just push the box off to the side so it doesn't cover any of my windows. That doesn't solve the real problem, though.

System Preferences -------> Time Machine
Select the correct disk you want to back up to (new device), click on the old disk in Time Machine preferences, ----------> Remove Disk

When I try to connect my iPhone to my laptop to import photos and videos it says there are no files or folders under "Apple Iphone". My laptop recognises my phone and my camera roll has around 300 photos and videos but none of them come up on my laptop?

The memory on my Phone is really bad so i cant store much. The pictures i am trying to import are really important and i cant lose them. My phone has been playing up a lot and im afraid of losing the pictures so tried to import them onto my laptop. Its a windows 8 and every time i connect my iphone a window automatically opens titled "Apple iphone" but underneath it says "no files or folders". How can i resolve this?
Also the apple store have told me not updating may be causing problems but i cant update due to no space. i have 3 apps, around 300 photos/videos and no music. it is 16gb so i dont know why im having this problem

This is how you import photos/videos:
