    Cannot sign into Elements 9. Get Error message 400-photoshop services unavailable

    They're not available because photoshop.com is dead and gone, and any photos there are moved to revel, which you can't access through PSE versions prior to PSE 11. You should have received a bunch of emails about this back when it was happening.

  • I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

    This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
    "How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
    So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

  • Family account will not transition to iCloud. Keep going round in circles - get Congratulations message from mobileme then still cannot sign into iCloud. Have moved 2 other family accounts weeks ago but this one will not?

    Keep going round in circles - get Congratulations message from mobileme then still cannot sign into iCloud. Have successfully moved 2 other family accounts weeks possibly months ago but this one will not? Am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 OSX. All ideas welcome as these are original mac accounts and keen not to lose them - call me sentimental:-)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, OSX 10.6.8 will not support iCloud. You can use the mail address from the iCloud account with Snow Leopard bot not the rest of the iCloud features. You can access then via the web browser though at iCloud.com.
    To set up iCloud mail.
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Try this:
    Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one.  Good luck!
    And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

    I cannot sign into iCloud Mail from my MAC.  I have tried everything that I can think of to change in System Preferences, even deleted the mailbox and reinstalled it ..... nothing works.  It is fine on my iPhone 4S!!!  Please help ... about to go crazy!  There seem to be two accounts one from MobileMe (mail) and iCloud (calendar and contacts find my phone).  I have tried moving the mail to iCloud and unticking it on MobileMe but it will not allow me to submit it!

  • Cannot sign into my icloud account on my phone

    Hello
    I am in Mexico and I cannot signed into my account, plus I don't have any service...

    Not sure what it is you did. If you have your contacts saved in iCloud (you can check them by signing into your Apple/iCloud account at iCloud.com - check the Contacts there), then changing your Apple ID will have no effect on your iCloud content. Also, when you Sign Out of the iCloud account on your device, you are given the option to keep the Contacts on that device. If you select "Keep", then when you sign back on with the updated Apple/iCloud ID, it will ask you if you want to merge the contacts on your device with your iCloud account. If you select "Merge", then it merges them.
    Also, what the instructions above are having you do is change the Apple ID that the iCloud account is linked to. It is the same Apple account, you are just changing the ID itself. The iCloud account associated with that ID is not changing or being affected in any way. If you created a new Apple ID, then that is the problem. A new ID would be linked to a new/different iCloud account.
    However, either way, if you keep your contacts and then merge them even if you set up a separate ID altogether (which is not what the instructions are telling you to do), your contacts would be intact.
    Cheers,

  • TS3988 I cannot sign into my icloud account

    I cannot sign into my iCloud account, it keeps saying this; This Apple ID is Valid but is not an iCloud account, so what is?

    That message usually means that you have not set up iCloud using a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.

  • I cannot sign into my google account on a Droid charge I just activated.

    I cannot sign into my google account on a Droid charge I just activated.  I use my hotmail account to sign in (successfully) on my laptop and old razor m. When I try on the Charge, it says that my email address does not use google.  Any ideas?

        I want to make sure you have access to your email, Trevorno. I'd like to clarify. Are you having trouble signing into your Hotmail account or your Gmail account? If you are trying to sign into your Hotmail account, you will need to set up your account using the default Email application. You can refer to these steps to set up your account: http://vz.to/1xU6SgL

  • I cannot sign into itunes. get error on computer ipad and iphone and i have latest version

    cannot sign into itunes.. i have the latest version.  wanted to download an app

    I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
    You can report it to them here ....

  • Cannot sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 to extend lincence - VS attempts to start Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    I noticed that my trial period for VS Community 2013 expired. While waiting for my company to get a real purchased licence I have to continue working one way or another. I would like to extend my licence by signing into the VS community. However, the MS
    Internet Explorer is disabled by company policy due to safety issues. Now, VS Community 2013 only and always attempts to open MS Explorer whenever I try to sign in, or check for updated versions, or whatever. I cannot find a workaround to open the links in
    another browser but MS Explorer.
    Please help me to extend my licence so I can keep working! I cannot (!) ever use the MS Explorer for this, so I need to find another solution. Any suggestions, please?
    Thanks in advance,
    Nadja

    Hi Nadja,
    As you said that when you sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 without using the
    MS Internet Explorer browser, but you cannot sign into successfully Visual Studio Community 2013.
    So could you please provide me the detailed error message after you sing in the Visual Studio Community 2013?
    What browser you use to sing in this VS Community 2013?
    Generally, I know that we can sign in this VS Community 2013 successfully using the default MS Internet Explorer browser.
    So if possible, I suggest you could try to enable MS Internet Explorer browser and then try to sign in this VS Community 2013 check this issue again.
    In addition, I suggest you could also try to sing in a Microsoft web page such as a Hotmail email using your browser and then check if you could sing in successfully.
    However, I suggest you could try to consult about how to extend license for this VS Community 2013 by
    calling 1-800-426-9400, Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. (Pacific Time) to speak directly to a Microsoft licensing
    specialist, and you can get more detail information from there. You can also visit the following site for more information and support on licensing issues:
