Continuous "Sign In Failed" Message

I am running PS CC on Win 7 Pro, 64-bit and am 4 months into a one-year subscription. Ever since I started usiing the CC version (was using CS4 Web Premium), I have intermittently gotten weird startup messages like "You have 0 days left on your trial (?) version", "You have only 65535 days left on your trial version", "You need to register/activate your trial version" and "This Adobe ID has already been used to activate the software on two other computers".
Earlier today, I ran the Abobe Cloud app on my PC and updated the software (Abobe Cloud only, not PS CC). Ever since then, I get a continuous "This Adobe ID..." message -- I can't get into PS CC at all. And, by the way, the "two other computers" part is completely bogus -- I have activated it on one computer only.
I'm afraid to uninstall/re-install PS CC for fear I'll be put back into "trial status" and be told I have to pay again for a new subscription!!
Note: I live in an extremely rural area, up in the mountains with not exactly the fastest internet service (total bandwidth for the entire community is 20 M-bit), which may be giving the Adobe software indigestion, I don't know...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Pragya,
Neither signing out nor choosing "deactivate all computers" had any effect -- I still got the Sign In Failure message.
After a two-hour chat with Adobe Level 2 Support, it was determined that there were corrupted files in Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache. Once I deleted the files in SLCache and let PS CC rebuild them, the problem went away. No telling how they got corrupted.
As I mentioned to the level 2 support guy (who did an excellent job, by the way), there appears to be no method to see what computers Adobe thinks contain the activated software. In my opinion, that is a bad design and that opinion is based on over 40 years of software development experience. I notice you are listed as staff; if you have a method to communicate this back to Development, I believe that capability should be added.
Regardless, thanks for your feedback. The issue is solved as far as I'm concerned.

"Sign-in Failed" Message For Email

I've had my S III for about three months now and never had any issues with my business email account until recently. A few weeks ago - and without me playing around with Settings - I got a "Sign-in Failed" message when I tried to send an email. For a short while I could receive emails but just not send them. Then it went to no sending or receiving. The next day out of the blue everything was back to normal and I could send/receive with no issues - and, again, without me touching any of the settings. Yesterday it started doing the same thing. Took it in to a VZ store and the guy suggested I delete the account and set it back up. Since I never messed with the settings in the first place, I don't see how this would fix the issue.
Anyone have/had similar issues?

Hey MTRFinancial, I know how important it is to stay connected to the office when you are out and I absolutely want to make sure that we get your work e-mail up and running.
I know that you haven't messed around with any of the settings, but sometimes something within the e-mail can be corrupted and the easiest way to fix that is to remove the e-mail and re-add it, so I would ask that you try that before we look into anything else.
Let us know if the issue persists after you re-add the e-mail.
Also, you could try what tikibar1 recommended, I have heard of some third party apps working out great for some customers.

Why do I get a "Sign in failed" message on one of my computers when I try to sign in to Photoshop CC 2014?

I have two (2) separate Creative Cloud single-app memberships. One is Adobe Muse, which I've had since June 5, 2013, and the other is the Adobe Photoshop Photography Program (PPP), which I've had since September 17, 2013. I own each of these memberships for different reasons and use them on different computers and in different environments.
I have three (3) computers; a Home computer, a Laptop, and an Office computer. I have Photoshop and Lightroom (from the Photography Program) installed on the Home computer and the Laptop; a total of two computers. I have Muse (a different single-app membership than the PPP membership) installed on the Home computer and the Office computer; again, a total of two computers. I have run this configuration without incident since I first purchased the memberships. In fact, before I joined the PPP, I verified with Adobe that this configuration was ok and was told that they were separate memberships and that it would not be a problem.
I upgraded Photoshop CC to Photoshop CC 2014 (as well as Lightroom) on the Home computer and Laptop and everything still worked without incident. I also updated Muse CC to Muse CC 2014 on the Home computer and again, everything ran as before without any problems. Later, when I updated Muse CC to Muse CC 2014 on the Office computer, I received a "Sign in failed" error message that said "[my] adobe ID [[email protected]] has already been used to activate the software on two other computers or devices". Which was not true!
After a Chat with a fairly useless customer service agent I selected the option, on the "Sign in Failed" dialog, to "Sign me out of all other computers and devices" and was able to sign in to Muse CC 2014 on the Office computer. Later, when I returned home I was able to successfully sign in to Muse CC 2014 on the Home computer - both of the two (2) allowed usages were now working.
After verifying that Muse CC 2014 was working on the Home computer, I launched Photoshop CC 2014 to see if it had been effected - it was. When asked I entered my Adobe ID and password, and was able to sign in successfully. Just to keep the math straight, I am now signed in on two (2) computers with the Muse CC 2014 membership and one (1) computer with the Photoshop CC 2014 membership.
I now attempted to Launch Photoshop CC 2014 on the Laptop and got the "Sign in failed" error message, which again said "[my] adobe ID [[email protected]] has already been used to activate the software on two other computers or devices". Again, this was not true! The Laptop would have been the second computer to have Photoshop CC 2014 installed under the Photoshop Photography Program membership, if I could have signed in.
Since these are separate memberships (albeit under the same Adobe ID) I should be able to, and have been able to, install them on any computer as long as each is only installed on two (2) computers.
I need help. This is causing me a great deal of inconvenience.
The problem started with the 2014 updates. How do I (or Adobe) fix this FUBAR problem?
Respectfully,
WRG

This is a user forum I feel you need to deal with Adobe customer services or support chat did not work in you case.

I get an "install failed" message. "Recovery system can't be created-click restart to return to previous version of OS X." This doesn't work. My Mac continues to try to install Mountain Lion. What is the elegant way to get my system back?

The first time I attempted to install ML was on a late 2011 MBP. It ran for three minutes then gave me the error message: Could not install OSX due to an unexpected error. I was using the original ML install app, not a USB or other drive.
After a couple of restarts wiht the same result I saw a message to the effect that the install was trying to close open apps. I closed apps manually a few times to no avail. I shut down instead of restarting then booted into Safe mode (hold down the shift key when starting) and that did it. The install went smoothly after that.
I since installed ML in two iMacs using a cloned copy of the install app on a USB drive. This time I shut down the computers and booted into Safe Mode first and there were no problems.
I don't know if this issue is the one causing you these problems but it is a simple enough solution to try.

How do I get past the error message Sign In Failed on my 2nd computer?

How do I getr past the error message Sign In Failed on my 2nd computer? I have signed out, uninstalled, and reinstalled to no avail.

So I thought: let's try the link Carolyn Samit suggested. So I got to Apple - Support - FaceTime to find information I already knew, about port forwarding I had already tried:
443 (TCP)
3478 through 3497 (UDP)
5223 (TCP)
16384 through 16387 (UDP)
16393 through 16402 (UDP)
What's the logic anyway of opening router ports that let my Wi-Fi devices through while refusing a LAN device? What have we got here? A firewall that only protects against cables?
I guess Apple is too busy selling iPads to help a customer who's trying to use Apple software on an Apple machine.

I'm trying to convert a pdf file to word and I continue to get the message "An error occurred while signing in". I believe I'm properly signed in, I can see my account, etc. Any suggestions?

Hi tkam,
It sounds as though you just need to install the latest Reader update. Please choose Help > Check for Updates in Reader and install the latest update. An update to Reader 11.0.07 resolves this sign-in issue.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi tkam,
I think I may have just the answer you're looking for. If you're converting from within Adobe Reader, please choose Help > Check for Updates and install any available updates. This error was resolved in the most recent Reader update. (You can also try signing in directly via the ExportPDF website at https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf.)
Please let us know how it goes.

Sign in failed. An unknown error occurred message appears on my phone. I've reset my password.

Sign in failed. An unknown error occurred message appears on my phone. I've already reset my password. I can't edit pics on my phone without accessing it online.

Hi, I'e never heard of that error before!???
Is this purchased music, or your own music files?

When I try to send email from phone I get message net sign in failed and the messages won't send

Why do I get the message net sign in failed when I try to send email from my phone? This just started about a week ago and I am unable to send email.

Hello yinz!
Let's get those emails sending! When you get the message, does the device prompt you to sign in to your email? If so, does it give you a different error message? The same? What type of email is it? Are you able to send/receive if using the PC? One option is to uninstall, then reinstall the email account from your device. Please give that a try and keep me posted on the results.
Thanks so much,

Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2) when trying to sign in to new playbook

I get the message "Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2)" when I try to login to the Blackberry ID page of a new playbook during initial setup. This prevents me from continuing and using my device. A similar error message appears when I tap "Forgot password?" which is An unknown error has occured. Please try again (-2)
I have tried what others have done when they have unknown error (-6) which is turn off playbook and plug into desktop manager then update to reflash, but I continue to get the same error.
I know my BB ID username and password are correct because I can login to the web with them. Not sure what to do next.

Just to test the simple things first, did you try to sign in using another credential?
If only yours fails, then is a RIM issue, otherwise is indeed your Playbook failure.

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

Hello there DesertRat71,
I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
All the best,
Sterling

Tracking failed messages in BAM

HI ,
We have simple file transfer application in Biztalk 2009(receive port and send port).we want to track following key points in BAM like :
Status:whether file transfer is successful or not at the destination system.(Sendport is of FTP)
Status message : error message in case of failure at send port while delivering the file.
how can get the above fields in the BAM .We are using the tracking profile editor to track these data.
Manish

The problem is that BAM only shows instances that has not failed. So in case something fails, BAM will not be written to the Activity until it has eventually succeeded (which might be never).
So if you need BAM to track failed messages, you will need to enable "Routing for failed messages" on the Send Port and then choose elements from the ErrorReport Namespace in the Tracking Profile Editor.
Another option could be to correlate/continue from the Receive Port to the Send Port, then you would know that all Activities that has the Receive Events written but not the Send must have failed (but of course this will not give you any indication of what
the error was).
I used to think that this was a limitation in BAM, but from a BI perspective it actually makes sense: Statistics/BI should only be dealing with things that has succeeded, whereas IT-operation should be dealing with errors, you might say!

Volume Structure Failed message

When I run the Techtool Deluxe software on both hard drives, the original hard drive from Apple and another WD 320 drive I bought and installed I get the Volume Structure Failed message on both and Techtool Deluxe cannot repair either. Anyone have ideas on what is causing this problem and what it means?
Volume Structure
Failed
TechTool Deluxe can scan volumes for problems related to the numerous structures that are necessary for the volumes to operate correctly. If problems are found, TechTool Deluxe can attempt to repair the damage to help reduce the chance of future problems.
If TechTool Deluxe has discovered problems with the volume structure of a volume, allow the program to repair the problem. Quite often these issues are minor, but sometimes they can be indicative of a more serious problem. If the problem persists, consider backing up the device, reformatting the media, replacing the data, and then testing again.

Disk First Aid's repair process only works on a single pass basis. That is, it will make a pass, and attempt to repair the first problem it encounters, then exit. In order to successfully use Disk FirtAid's repair process, you must perform the repair numerous times, until no error message is displayed.
When Disk First Aid completes without any error message, then any repairs were performed successfully. If the error messages always continue, then it was unable to make the needed repairs.
The only problem with this process is, how many times to try the repair process before giving up, since the process doesn;t give you any idea of many more passes will be needed. You know a message, like, "Hey, almost done, maybe two more passes" would be helpful.
Instead you just need to guess, and if it takes more then four or five passes, it is probably beyond the ability of Disk First Aid to repair. However, it is still possible that fsck (file system check) may be able to complete the repair that Disk Utility was trying to fix. Actually Disk Utility uses the fsck program, but fsck when run from the single user mode can be more effective, since the file system can be completely unmounted and checked.
To run fsck from single user mode, restart your Mac and hold down the Command key plus the S key (apple key and the S key held at the same time while restarting). The screen should show lines of text flowing by ending with a command prompt. at the command prompt, enter /sbin/fsck -fy and hit return.
If problems are encountered an repaired, a message saying FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED will appear. Like Disk First AId, you need to run fsck multiple times until the above message is not displayed and instead a message says the volume xxxx appears to be OK appears. When this happens, or when you decide that no amount of running fsck will work, then at the command prompt enter reboot and hit return.
Good luck.
