'Could not Sign In' Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error.

I recently attempted to restore my iPod and cannot get any further than the security question and terms to agree to.  My email address is [email protected]   Please help!

I just spent a week with an applecare T2 trying to figure this out, but we finally did!
It turns out that (at least in my case) I had to go to http://appleid.apple.com and re-enter my password security questions and birthday. Once I did this and tried to restore, everything worked as expected.
I should explain that, in my case, as soon as I entered my apple ID and password after choosing to restore from icloud, it would ask for my birthday and to fill out one security question. Once I did the security stuff, it no longer asked for these on the phone.
I hope this solves your problem like it did mine!

  • Updated My ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 6.1. Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error"

    Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error. I already have an apple ID I am just trying to finish the update so I can use my ipod touch and can not figure out why I keep getting held back at this message

    So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

  • Can't Delete Email - "The Folder Couldn't Be Deleted Because Of A Server Error"

    Hey!
    So I have a big inbox. I thought I had about 120 000 emails and I just want to bin them all. Because of the sheer volume I am having a lot of trouble. From the web site I selected all of the emails and dragged them to the trash. At first it didn't seem to work but now the emails seem to be moving to the trash and multiplying. My trash folder now has over half a million emails and my inbox still has the same number of emails as it did before.
    When I try to empy the trash I get a message saying "Folder Couldn't Be Emptied: The folder couldn't be emptied because a server error occured" My icloud account is suspended now because I've exceded the limit.
    This is getting rediculous. Never had this problem with Gmail.
    Joel

    Did you ever try to delete 120000 e-mails in Gmail?
    All of your folders are in the cloud. When you move all those messages to the trash, it actually copies them to the cloud.
    Probably the best thing to do is create a new account on your Mac and setup your e-mail on it. It may take some time for it to download all of the e-mail messages. When it settles down, empty your trash. Then, select large groups of messages, right click on them, and choose "Move to" > Trash > On My Mac. Then empty the trash. Repeat.
    You may need to contact Apple to get your e-mail running again if you can't get that far.

  • Apple TV says it could not sign. Apple ID or password incorrect

    How can I sign in to Apple TV when it says my password or Apple ID is incorrect?  Just changed my password but don't know how to
    Let the Apple TV know my new on.

    I am experiencing the same issue. The ATV2 recognizes my wireless network, I can even stream music from my Itouch into the Tv, but when trying to link the ATV2 with my PC computer, the ATV2 asks for the Apple ID and password. I input the correct infromation, but the system keeps telling me that the ID can not be recognize. I've tried like 50 times, with no results so far.

  • Itunes could not sync calendars to the iphone 'rach's iphone' because the sync server failed to sync the iphone

    I have tried the suggestions that i have found in previous discussions (disabling addins in outlook tools and resetting the sync history in itunes) with no joy. Am reluctant to 'replace calendar' from outlook to iphone as I sync both ways (outlook to iphone and vice versa) This has happened out of the blue, without an update occuring (however am keen to update when we can download the full application......) Is anyone aware if the latest update will resolve this or is there another fix?

    Don't update windows or Itunes. it creates more issues - i did both and now the backup part of the sync will not complete. Completely freezes and then i have to force closure using task manager.....
    I hope Apple support read these discussions because I am very ****** off with this and am considering getting rid of the iphone altogether and moving to an android - i have heard they are heaps better than iphone!!!! With a **** of a lot less bugs!!!!

  • Apple ID can not be created because of a server error, can I skip this step and come back later?

    I'm brand new to the iPhone.  I got a 4S yesterday as a Christmas gift.

    I actually had to set up an apple account through this link to post my message.
    After, I went back, and there are still server issues.
    Thank you though.
    I will retry on my lunch break where I can go to a section of the building where I get wifi (I tried to set up through my regular wireless signal).
    Thank you, TonyaWhite.  Even if there are still server issues, I now know I can continue my set up without worrying that I've ruined something in the future.

  • Event could not be deleted because of a server error

    I entered a repeating event into my iPhone 5s calendar. It syncs with iCal on my Mac and with iCloud. Now when I attempt to change the location of the event, or even delete it, I get this:
    "This event couldn't be deleted because of a server error. Please try again."
    When I try to delete the event on iCal or my iPhone it says:
    "Access to (event name) in (name of iCloud calendar) is not permitted. The server responded: "403" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."
    Help please!

    I have the same problem as reported in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5835990?tstart=0
    I "Sent to Apple" my Reminders Problem, but so far there's no indication that Apple recognizes the problem. Everything still shows green. Does anyone know a better way to report service failures?

  • When I try to privately share a calendar, I get couldn't share because of a server error

    When I try to privately share a calendar, I enter the e-mail address and then I get an error message of:
    Couldn't share "<calendar name>".
    Your changes to this calendar couldn't be saved
    because of a server error. Please try again.
    If I enter a different e-mail address, it works fine. It only fails on one particular e-mail address.

    THE problem is that when you give an e-mail address to share the calendar to, it MUST BE an e-mail address that is a valid Apple ID.
    I had to create an Apple ID for the e-mail I was trying to share with and THEN and ONLY THEN do things work.
    Silly error message.

  • My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know whic

    My apple keyboard had some problems, the store replaced it for me. I had to sign in to my computer, and couldn't get to pair the keyboard with the computer, as could not sign in. I know there is a command that lets you override this, does anyone know which buttons to  press.  I gather when you do this, a box comes up and pairs the two with a number you have to type in.
