Can't Sign in Using Regular AppleID

When I try to sign in with my regular appleID, I get the message "We're sorry, your account could not be created due to a system issue."
I don't want to make my regular AppleID public, because it's my personal email address, and the email address associated with this appleID hasn't been valid for more than 10 years.  SO, if you, dear and kind Apple Support Person, Matt K. (the support guy on the phone said you were the magical helper elf here), would kindly post here what I should do next, or how I can privately contact you about my issue, that would be fantastic.
Thank you!

Not sure why I can't edit the previous posts.
So, there's a small glimmer of hope here:  While my information was deleted wholesale from my computer when I changed my iCloud account, my phone somehow updated the account on its own, and kept all of its info, which then fed into the cloud, and which then downloaded to my computer.  Except, inexplicably, for last month's calendar, which is totally blank.  But everything else (including previous months) seems to be intact.
This is a very, very poorly designed system.  I'm really thrilled to have my data back, but I'm very concerned about how obtuse this whole process is, how unreal the AppleID forced uniqueness + inability to merge accounts + linkage of my data and purchases is creating a web of accounts for users to have to log in and out of repeatedly, seemingly forever...  It boggles the mind.  Apple is supposed to be about ease of use and this inflexibility is anything but easy.  The dramatic difference in interfact and function of the iCloud account change between my iPhone and my MacBook Pro is shocking.  If I hadn't had the phone, my data really would be gone.
The solution sure seems simple enough to me.  Allow users to merge accounts, or to create some sort of umbrella account that would have access to all of the purchases of all of their associated AppleIDs, similar to how banks can have multiple accounts all linked to your ATM card.  Any brief perusal of these forums will find large numbers of posts about wanting to merge accounts.  Let's make it happen!

  • Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

    Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
    I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
    I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
    I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
    Password: Your iCloud password

    Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
    Try again.

  • Can I purchase music using two AppleID / Passwork using one iTunes on computer and sync all purchased music on to one iPad

    Can I purchase music using two Apple ID & Password using one iTunes on one computer and sync purchased music to iPad 2?

    After having thought about this, I realized, sometime later, that I gave you bad information. You can NOT sync to multiple iTunes libraries with one iPad. I was thinking about using one iPad with mulitple computers and you have to set you device to manage the music manually to do that - you don't sync.
    Sorry about the incorrect information,

  • Can't sign on with my AppleID and password from my iPad or other devices.

    My AppleID and password stopped working.  I was able to reset it.  My iTunes account seems to work on my desktop.  Why aren't my iPad and other devices able to sign on?

       It is probably caused by notification for update of Ipad operating system. There may conflict between newer IOS version on desktop and older one on Ipad at the mean time if you want to access by similar account. Otherwise, you need to set up again your account at setting panel. I used to have the same problem for first days logging on Apple store or others applications required user name and password. I bought my Ipad at an Apple store and it was configured with original profile. I had to adjust and it runs very well now. Good luck !

  • My email got blocked and can't sign in using old apple id so i created a new one i just need to transfer all my data to the new id

    heres the download. I downloaded the new os 5.0 and had to verify my icloud account it, when i tried to check my email it said that my password was wrong and I couldn't access my account so I went through the whole process on reseting my password and no can do for now so I thought well if I can't use that account anymore then I will just switch my apple id to another email address that I had and use that so  I got that set up and now all I need to do is somehow transfer my purchases to my new account well I thought I could do that through my iphone and stupid me reset the whole thing where I can't even access anything or even make or recieve phone calls so someone please help me I am hopelessly lost without my iphone and I am desperate for answers

    Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

    It seems like http://help.apple.com/icloud/index.html#mmfc0f1e2a indicates that it is possible to set up iCloud on a PC. (It is a supported device.)
    No, you can only sign into an existing iCloud account on a PC, you cannot create one.  Note that it says in step 2 here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, "Enter the ID you used to create the account...", not Enter the ID to create the account.  Also note that it states here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."
    Someone who has an iCloud account can send you photos by creating a shared photo stream enabling the Public Website option.  This would give you a link to view the photos on the internet from your computer browser.  There are also other cloud alternatives you could use to share photos such as Dropbox.

    i do not know if there is something that can do it automatically but let's say you have the following regex:
    "a number of 5 digits" then "2 letters" then "a hyphen" and then "a digit"
    what you can do is something like that:
    define the vars that will allows you to pick a value for each part of the generated value
    this means you will have:
    final int[] DIGITS = new int[]{0;1;2;3;4;5;6;7;8;9};
    final char[] LETTERS = new char[]{'a', 'b', ... 'z'};
    final char HYPHEN = '-';
    once you have those vars, all you have to do is to use "Random" class to retrieve a random value from DIGITS and LETTERS
    append them all in the correct order , without forgetting to append the HYPHEN and you have your value

  • Can't sign in on external monitor with MBP after Yosemite upgrade

    After Yosemite upgrade, when I turn on my MBP, I can't sign in using external monitor with MBP, always could before Yosemite.  Blurred image of my wallpaper shows on monitor, can move arrow on external screen but sign-in only shows up on my computer screen, with no arrow.  Since there is no arrow on the computer screen, and no sign in box on the external monitor, I have to unplug the external video to sign in on the computer, then plug in the monitor again.  Any ideas?

    NOWEK,
    Thanks for this suggestion, but so far no joy. I have zapped the PRAM, jammed the Frabitz and smashed the Gafrogsnicker, all to no avail. When the MBP restarts I get a blurred image (extreme "vibrancy") on the external monitor, but no images of the login accounts to choose from or the other options. However, on the MBP screen I get all that. The keyboard and mouse respond, but just doesn't display on the external monitor. This is of interest to me because I have the MBP down in a credenza with other related gear and the external monitor and keyboard up on my desk. It's true I don't have to do this often, but still, it just started this aggravation with Yosemite. Thanks for trying to help.

  • HT204053 Some reason my iCloud acct on my phone is set up to the 'me' account which I don't use, and my computer is set up to  icloud using my regular email. So, nothing is streaming & connecting. Can I delete the iCloud acct on my ph & re-sign in using o

    All of my apple items are registered to iCloud using one account. Then when I updated my phone to iOS 6, it automatically registered my phone to iCloud using my old mobile me email. So, my phone isn't streaming to computer, etc. Can I just delete the account on my phone and re-sign in using my other email to connect ALL my devices in iCloud without losing any information? Or how do I go about fixing this problem???? Thanks.

    If you want to change iCloud accounts and keep your data go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account (or sign into your other existing iCloud account) using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

  • Why can I not verify my Apple ID? I keep getting this message after trying: "the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id"

    the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id............ PLEASE HELP ME

    Hi all,
    I tried this and it worked:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
    4) Change the email address associated with your account.
    5) Send new verification email
    I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
    Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
    4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
    5) Click the Save Changes button.
    If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
    3) Select the Manage your account link.
    4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
    5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
    6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
    7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
    If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
    If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
    Good luck!
