Can't start (or create?) iCloud account, what am I doing wrong?

I want to take full advantage of all the functions in my iPod touch. But when I try to start up iCloud I keep getting the error message that 'due to server problems' I cannot do it. That has been happening for as long as I have the iPod. There is no iCloud app as far as I can see. Do I have to download that first? I am at a loss here. Thanks in advance for any help.

The 'sign in with your Apple id' thing drives me up the wall. I CAN NOT SIGN IN. I keep getting 'wrong user or password'. So I JUST SUCCESSFULLY changed my password. Tried to log in on my iPod but NO, STILL "WRONG USER OR PASSWORD'.
I am ready to throw this ipod through the window, NOW!! Sorry for this. It is just so terribly FRUSTRATING!!!!!

HT4901 I'm trying to set my settings for icloud but it says "This is a valid Apple ID but not an icloud account, what am I doing wrong."

What am I doing wrong.

You can't create a new iCloud acount using a PC. You must create it on an Apple device, a Mac or an iPad/iPhone. Then you can use it on your PC.

I can receive but not send emails with my skynet account - what am I doing wrong ?

I have no problems with my Yahoo account but I can not send emails with my skynet account.
Actually in iPhone :
Outgoing Mail Server > SMTP "relay.skynet.be"
Primary server > Not Configured > Off
Thank you ...

When you set them up, did you set up both the incoming and outgoing email servers separately, and did you enter the correct SMTP server name, and enter your userid and password even though it says "optional"?
Something else to try, if you haven't, is delete the accounts, connect the iPhone to iTunes, on the Info tab check the box to sync mail server settings, then sync. This should duplicate the settings from your computer to your iPhone.

When I use messaging there are only two users who automatically go green (MMS?), and are undeliverable. I can't seem to change this. What am I doing wrong?

I use message and all other messages are non-sms. When I try to message these two accounts, they automatically use sms, everything I do is the same. The non-sms messages go through just fine (including pictures). The sms messages (no pictures) are always rejected; they have never gone through. They have never been able to send messages to me either (although they can send to others). I have a Verizon cellular data plan.

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

In fact, now I just see: INTERNET, COMPUTADOR (PC) e AJUSTES (MENU/SETTINGS) - I'm brazilian and I'm not so sure about the name of MENU in EUA Apple TV.
Anyway, I remember that until yesterday I could see FILMES (MOVIES) at the first MENU, and now it's no longer available.

When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and can't be separated for editing. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

When creating a multi page document, some of my thumbnails become linked and therefore impossible to rearrange. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct this?

The pages in sections stick together because the text flows between the pages.
Insert a section break to isolate pages between sections.
Now this all works in Pages '09, unfortunately Pages 5 doesn't let you.

Can't have multiple modal dialogs? What am I doing wrong?

The following applet is a VERY stripped down version of what I am writing. I have an applet which creates modal dialog in which a user will enter data, then if the user tries to close without saving, I pop up another modal dialog to ask the user to save. Everything is fine that far, then, when the user dismisses that dialog, for example (with Cancel) or pressing the X, things look fine, it goes back to the first modal dialog, but that dialog is no longer modal! I can access the underlying applet. Here is a VERY stripped down version. What am I doing wrong? Help! Thanks!

Good call dchsw, I tried 1.4.1_01 jre and it worked. If you run it with 1.3.0_01 jre you will see my problem. The problem for us is, we are stuck with 1.3.0_01 for our next release at least, due to Sun's decision to change event handling for java 1.4 jre and not make it backward compatible. I might have to hack my way around this one. Any other suggestions?
Thanks

I can't get into my iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get into iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

I can't load my music!! What am I doing wrong?

My computer crashed a few weeks ago, and I just got it working again. When I installed iTunes 8, I got everything that it came with (library, iTunes store, that Genius stuff). But when I plugged in my iPod Nano to put my music on iTunes, it won't show up in my library. The library is just blank.
All of my music is on my iPod, but I can't seem to put it on my iTunes library.

Well for a start you’re posting on the iPhoto forum and not the iTunes for Windows forum.

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!
