Bug in iMessage Can't Log in with different Apple ID

My husband, four boys and I share my iTunes Apple ID to back up data to the iCloud and share music, as I pay for a large amount of storage for all of us. I set up a different Apple ID for my messages, as the boys keep turning on iMessage with MY phone number on the iPad, iPod and their iPhones (sometimes on purpose i think!).
Since i upgraded to the iPhone 6, I can't get it to take my different iMessage login! It took it with no problem for FaceTime, but won't log me in for iMessage and tries to revert back tot he main Apple ID. It is hard to even get it to open the space to put a different Apple ID in - it keeps loading it automatically without giving the option to change it. I have to keep turning it off and trying again in Settings. Finally there and it tells me "Could not log in. Check your network connection and try again." Um - what? It works everywhere else without an issue! I just tested it on the mac. No network errors, password works just fine.
Help! Is this a bug? Where should I report it? What's going on? I need my private texts!

Hi,
Up to Mavericks in combination with earlier iOS versions it seems that you could use different IDs in different apps.
That is to say the iCloud ID in System Preferences > iCloud could be the same on an iPhone to sync the contacts and other function but a different ID could be used in Messages for iMessages and FaceTime (I would keep theses the same as your Invoke FaceTime for Video chats)
However it does seem that Yosemite and iOS 8.x.x when you want to do Text Forwarding on the iPhone to be able to SMS on the Mac wants or needs to use the same ID all the way round.
Having said that I once used two separate ID on two separate iPhones and this got very complicated on my Mac.
I decided to delete one of the iPhones which I have managed (it never shows up). However the Apple ID keep popping up on various devices when I open them.
Despite me saying "no" when it asks me it does seem to get put through on the Mac.
I can delete the .plist that stores the info but is still gets to show as an unticked option in the Received At list.
(I can see it re-appearing on your children's devices without too much issue).
This might help https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Like you I do use different ID in different places for various reasons although any form of sharing is not the reason for me. (I just don't want to lose all functions if one ID gets compromised)
It does seem this is becoming more difficult.

What is this problem that I'm facing!! App Store is asking me for the "sandbox" environment
I can't log in with my apple ID

Try a reset: Simulaneously hold down the On and Home buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it should appear. When shut down is complete, turn the iPad back on.

IPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1 - iMessage - Can't log in with Apple ID.

Has anyone found a solution to logging into iMessage on the iPhone when you've never logged in before? It keeps saying my password is wrong (I know I am typing it 100% correct along with the email address)
I've been searching through the forums and can't seem to find a decent answer to this question. Some point to the servers being down (they're not right now), other tell you to sign out but I can't sign out because I'm not signed into iMessage with my Apple ID - just the phone number.
I am also logged into iMessage with my Apple ID on OS X and on my iPad so I know my password is working.
I'll be fine if someone can tell me this is a known bug! I'd just like to know for sure!

Thanks for the tip. However it did not work. The only thing that I hadn't tried out of that list was turning imessage off and back on. When it prompted for my password it said it was wrong, then turned on anyway. Still I can't add my apple id. Same as before.

Can't Log In with Different AppleID

I accidentally tried to log in with the wrong AppleID this morning and now I don't even get the option of trying to log in under a different ID.
Every time I try, I click "log in" and the next page that comes up already has the wrong ID listed and offers me the option of signing up for a new account. I click "Log out of this AppleID" and try again, but it ALWAYS auto fills the wrong ID and takes me to the sign-up page. I never get the option to re-write the ID.
I'm using a different browser right now to write this, but I don't want to have to use only one browser to be on this site. Can you tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Well, that worked to a degree - I got to re-choose my login ID, so thank you very much for that. It looks like I can't login using Google Chrome, though. Now, my ID is just blank space. Very, very weird.
Thanks anyway!

Can't log in with my Apple id password, so can't set new wifi up

Hi, first time on my iPad since new wifi set up, and I now can not get into my iPad to set up the New WiFi keycode, I keep constantly getting the "sign into icloud, enter Apple id password", and I can't get to any settings annoyingly.
Now I had not changed my Id password prior to this problem, yet I have since changed it through another device, yet without WiFi on my iPad this will not update.
I have shut down and restarted, to see if this helps but it didn't, can anyone help with this annoying little problem so I can set up the New WiFi?

Can't log in with my apple id on FaceTime for iPhone 5

Keep getting error message tell me it can't log in to face time on iPhone 5

Read http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3367
what error message you getting?

I can't sign in with different apple id.

Hi, I have the same problem with iPhone and the iPad.
When I open the AppStore app, then go to the Featured tab and try to sign in and choose to use an existing apple id, I just can't type the apple id I need.
I just can type the password, there's no way to choose the apple id.
What seems to be the problem?
If I try to sign in in Settings and go to the Store tab I can choose the apple id, but in the App Store app it is not possible.
Thanks in advance.
PS: sorry about my bad english.

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > sign out then sign in with the Apple ID you prefer.

I can't log on with my Apple ID, it says could not check in please check network connection and try again. What does that mean and how do I fix it?

Please help! Thanks!!!

Hello
Try this... I had the same problem and this worked for me.
Go to your system preferences → network → make sure WI-FI selected → advanced → DNS tab. Add 8.8.8.8 to the DNS servers. Go back to FaceTime and try to verify your account again.
Good luck!

ICal Server - Can't log in with Kerberos?

Hello, I have been struggling the past few days getting ical server properly installed and configured to incorporate into our environment (just installed 10.6 server). I am very new to Kerberos, in fact never heard of it before getting into this, but would like to possibly use it as an authentication option. I have my master open directory installed and running, it says Kerberos is running, ldap as well as password server, all running. I created some test users in the LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 directory with open directory password types. I have opened ticket viewer and assigned tickets to these test users. In my Ical settings in server admin, I have authentication type set to kerberos. When I try to add an account via my ical client on my workstation (also 10.6 just installed), it searches and I get the message:
"Ical found the CALDAV server "servername" but couldn't log in with the user name "username". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again"
If I click next and go to the calendar server options screen I select Ical server template, the port changes to 8443 I believe and I change it back to the default of 8008, and click use kerberos v5 for authentication, and uncheck Use SSL as I have that off. I then get the message of:
"Authentication failed. The server does not support Kerberos authentication."
Now, if I go completely backward, and change my iCal server authentication type to Digest, or Any Method, I can log in using any of my local user names and passwords and any open directory password users. This is great because it shows me the system is working, and I can get in, however what I don't quite understand is if I log in with a different/various usernames and passwords, I get a separate calendar for each login. When watching the apple demo video of Ical server here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bzMTpLv-EE&feature=related , it seems there is one calendar, and multiple users are logging in using different logins, but accessing the same calendar.
So I guess my main questions are, why isn't Kerberos working, and how do I get it to work, am I missing something? And how do I get Ical server to operate the way it is in the video, so people log in with different various logins but are able to see the same "work" calendar as shown in the video.
I appreciate any help/insight. Thank you.

One additional piece of information that I don't know if it is a bug or if anyone else has this problem, but when I am logged in with a user, and access my address panel via my ical client, none of my locations, resources, people, or groups show up, every category is empty. However, if I start to type a search for a location name or user that I know the name of that I have added, THEN it will show up and I can click/select it. Almost behaving completely backwards, any ideas why these are not showing up without using the search??? Thank you again.

How are you verifying it? Are you responding to the email that is sent? If not, do so.
If so, then try changing your password.

And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
Please Advise......

You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:
