Can't log in to FaceTime with non-primary iCloud ID

Hello,
I use a family Apple ID for App Store, iTunes Match and photostream but use individual Apple IDs for reminders and contacts. The problem is, on my ipad I can't log in to FaceTime with my personal Apple ID. It will only allow me to log in with my primary Apple ID (the family ID). On my iphone it works because I associate FaceTime and iMessage with my cell number.
Any thoughts? Thanks!

KK,
For some reason, a Mac using Facetime needs to be set to the time zone it is in. It could possibly have something to do with the FT routers that your call is guided to. In any case there were two Facetime users I know of, that got their Facetime working by resetting to the proper time zone. I surely hope this works for you so you can start talking to your folks "across thepond."

Can not log into server computer with any accounts - "You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."

I have a Mac mini running the latest version of OS X and Server. Been running fine and flawlessly. However, I had a strange problem with the iCloud preferences panel crashing when I tried to access it, so I rebooted. Now I can not log into the system with any accounts. My master admin account (along with all the others) gives me the error:
You are unable to login to the user account "abcdefg" at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I am able to see the server from other macs and I can log into it using the same account, but it only shows me a few of the shared folders I have access to but NOT to my main directories.
Rebooting into Command-R and doing a disk utility, I try and repair permission on that drive and get a bunch of errors like:
ACL found but not expected on Users
Repaired "Users"
ACL found but not expected on Users/.localized
Repaired "Users/.localized"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared
Repaired "Users/shared"
ACL found but not expected on Users/Shared/.localized
Repaired "Users/Shared/.localized"
Permissions repair complete.
But rebooting is no joy...same problem. Any idea what is going on or how to repair it? Should I do a time machine restore? Complete new OS X install? Any idea what is causing this or how to salvage it?

Got everything to re-install and it worked fine...for a few hours. Then I came in to find ALL of my network users deleted. Just GONE. Then found out the Open Directory was trashed and was unable to open, recover or restore from a backup. Looks like I may have a bad drive here.
I installed a new drive in the system, re-installed and so far (for a couple of hours anyway) the system seems to be working and stable.

You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password. How can I fix this?, I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my ipad with my password.

I upgraded to ios5 and now I can't log into my Ipad with the password I had set and been using for the last 2 years. What do I need to do to get logged in?

You will have to format your iPad. Looks like that's the only way to reset your password.
Formatting your iPad
Turn off your iPad, turn on iTunes, hold large button down on ipad while connecting the white ipad cord to your Pc.
When the window prompts format iPad,let the button go and press format button on iTunes.
That is how I solved the same problem.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password.

I can't log into apple mail with out it asking me for a password. It never used to do this. What can I do to be able to send a email without having to type in a password?

Hey it4daddy73,
What mail provider are you currently using (Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo?).
Open up safari and go to that providers website and log into your email.
If you get in than open the mail app and click on mail on the top of the screen, then go down to preferences, click on the accounts tab, and type your password. Close the window and it will save.
If this doesn't work I would even try deleting the account by going into mail/preferences/accounts and clicking the - button in the bottom left corner. Than re add and configure the account by pressing the + button.
Hope this works, and good luck.

My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?

Do you mean that you were using the Apple ID which is your ex-MobileMe address? It's still an Apple ID, even though MobileMe itself is dead, and there's nothing to stop you from using it as an ID with Support, or logging in here or in iTunes with it. You should make sure you have a functioning non-Apple email address associated with it.
Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August last? If so, you can set up an iCloud account using it, or if you have already set up a new and separate iCloud account you can still log in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that it runs alongside your iCloud account.
If you didn't migrate you can still reactivate the address the same way.
Anything where you've logged in with the ex-MobileMe address, such as support for something you registered using it or a server such as iTunes, will need to continue using it.

I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing. Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
More things you can do:
With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not. You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing. As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos. I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special. Any way - search around to find answers.

Can I use find my iPhone with out an iCloud account?

Ok! So there's no way around it then? My friend has an iPhone 4 that she got used and the 3 available account have been used up. I understand how that works but was wondering if there was a way around that so she could still use the find my iPhone app to locate the phone if needed. Thxs

I can't log in to FaceTime or iMessage

After updating my MacBook to OS X Yosemite, I can no longer log in to FaceTime or iMessage. I get this message each time, "To use this Apple ID with iMessage, contact iMessage support with the code below. Customer Code: 0263-xxxx-xxxx", but when I call I can't get assistance bc my Apple Care has expired. Please help!

Hi There,
Thank you for the advice and for pointing out that it may be an Apple ID issue. However, calling the 1(800) number directly did not provide an option to select "Apple ID". I think this occurred because I called from the telephone number filed on my account, which automatically pulls up my account information when I call, and didn't allow further assistance since my Apple Care has expired. The only option offered was to pay. So, I searched online for Apple ID Support, which provided Apple Call Back support, and I was able to resolve the matter.
Thank you again!

I can't log onto my WiFi with my Touch

I'm using my Touch, AirPort Express and the remote app to control iTunes and play music through my stereo.
I like it but I'm having some problems. For some reason I can't log onto my own wifi with the touch when I have the wireless network secured, even when I type in the networks password. When I have the wireless security disabled it works fine but when I make the wireless connection secure I can't log on.
Does anybody know how I can solve this problem? I love the set up but it does me no good if I'm vulnerable to hackers. What am I doing wrong?
I don't know if it matters but I have a Linksys router.

I have a PC if this helps.

No cursor when waking, can see log on screen and wallpaper (non retina)

Hi everyone
Just made the jump from Windows to Mac and am loving it! However, occasionally when waking my MBP's screen will show the password box and the wallpaper, but no cursor. It's super frustrating as I can't log on.
It doesn't happen every time and leaves me head scratching!
Any ideas ?

Start up your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot can take longer then a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen.
From the drop down menu click Restart.
Safe Mode removes caches that may help.
