Error Message - Could Not Sign In

The following error message was displayed in red:
"Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again"

I experienced this problem, too -- and with the help of an Apple support rep, figured out a way out.
Go into Settings and turn off automatic date and time, and set your phone back a year. Then go back and turn automating date and time back on, to get back to the present. Now go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores, click on your AppleID, and re-enter it and your password. Finally, go back to the App Store (or iTunes Store) and try to download what you had been trying before -- and if you're like me, it will now pop up with a new set of Terms and Conditions for you to approve. After you approve, you'll be able to download whatever you had been trying to.
It appeared, in my case, that Apple needed to present me with a new Terms & Conditions to approve, but for some reason, iOS 6 and the Apple mother ship weren't communicating correctly about how to do that, and I was stuck with the "Could Not Sign In" message. Changing the iPhone's time and/or re-signing in via Settings > iTunes & App Stores resolved the roadblock for some reason. Hope this works for others as well!

    This is a question for a mini iPad...
    I am trying to download an app and keep getting this error message: "Could not sign in. An unknown error has occurred.  I have tried shutting down and restarting. I've tried changing the password. I get the error message with free and not free apps. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Reports are that this is a problem with the iTunes Store that they're working on. Some people have had success after signing out of their account and back in. If that doesn't work for you, wait a few hours or perhaps until tomorrow and by then they may have the problem sorted out.

  • IOS6 upgrade issue. error message "could not sign in could not communicate with server when attempting to log in with apple id and password. Any ideas?

    To finish the upgrade setup, can't get past the screen where you need to log in with your apple id and password.  Error message appears "could not sign in" "Could not communicate with the server."  Tried a reboot, but that didn't work or get us anywhere either.

    Go to Settings then down to Facebook then select account then delete account and select remove info and re enter your user name and password and then it will work again

  • Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6.  Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

    Saving a Photoshop CC project from a Mac (in .PSD format) to a thumb drive and trying to transfer it to a Dell laptop with Photoshop CS6.  Will not open...Error message: could not complete your request because it is not a valid photoshop document.

    The file was corrupted somewhere along the way (assuming it was still readable on the Macintosh).
    The platforms don't matter, but you still need file transfer that doesn't corrupt files...

  • HT201328 after unlocking from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this . Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    after unlocking over the phone from ATT and resetting iphone 3gs I keep getting the same error message "could not activate phone" neither Apple Store Tech or ATT were able to fix this .
    Itunes displays a message saying "there is no SIM installed in the phone you're trying to activate" even if there is the same SIM that was working minutes before.
    The SIM works on a different phone I tested it.
    Any ideas?? TKS Sandro

    “Could Not Activate EDGE” error message Update ...
    Well it’s going on day 6 and still sporadic to no EDGE on my iPhone. At one time, it was thought to be a defective iPhone – since my partner’s iPhone works just fine.
    After over three hours on the land line with AT&T and Apple, I was sent to the local Apple store for a replacement. Of course, as soon as I walked into the Apple store my iPhone worked just fine. ;-( The local store replaced my iPhone and suggested I go home and activate the phone as a NEW iPhone, that way if there was a bug in my data it would not carry over to the new phone. Did that and well… still sporadic to no EDGE. By the way, I have the Big White “E” to the right of the 5 bars and AT&T .
    AT&T said last week they has “Software” issues in my area, but the CSR I talked to did not know what the issues were or if they were the cause of my problems. He did say they would call me back today to see how my iPhone was doing, but alas, no call back.
    When I’m next to my partner, trying to access the same feature, his iPhone is just so fast. Mine hangs up, draws out and finally I get the error message, “Could Not Activate EDGE”. I am updated to version “1.1.4(4A102)”. New (refurbished) iPhone direct from Apple.
    I remember reading a while back about some problems others had when they upgraded to from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4. I never had those problems, but it sure looks like they may have started. Does anyone remember what the problems with 1.1.4 were, what was done if anything to correct them, and best of all any suggestions?
    By the way, this is Seattle, not some small – out of the way place where connection and signal strength is expected to be second rate. Also, I had full function of my iPhone from the day I bought it in June 2007, all the way up to Thursday March 20, at 2120.
    Thanks

  • How to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3g or gPRS on safari with an iphone 4 and latest software updates

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

    All iPhones sold in Japan are sold carrier locked and cannot be officially unlocked by the carrier. If you unlocked it, it was by unauthorized means (hacked), and support cannot be given to you in this forum.
    Hacked iPhones are subject to countermeasures by Apple, particularly when updating the firmware. It is likely permanently re-locked or permanently disabled.

  • Error Message - "could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"

    I am trying to open a file, and every time I do it comes up with the following error message:
    "Could not complete your request because the preset contains invalid data"
    I am using Photoshop CS4 on a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    I have tried:
    - restarting my mac
    - opening different files created at different times
    - deleting photoshop from my app folder and the app support folder from my /username/library/application support/adobe/ folder and copied them back from a Time Machine backup from a few days ago.
    I was using Photoshop all day today with absolutely no problems. I have searched Google and this forum and have come up short. No one has this exact error anywhere.
    Any help? Thanks so much in advance!
    Pat Dryburgh

    The one thing you didn't do is reset your Photoshop preferences.
    Most likely the preferences got corrupted, and reference a corrupt preset.

  • SFTP Receiver adapter error Message could not be forwarded to the JCA adapter

    Hi Experts,
    I'm needing help to solve a problem with an SFTP Receiver interface.
    Before I was sending in the adapter configuration as "Direct" in Write Modus (File .txt) and now I changed to "Use temporary file" is occurring this error:
    Message
    could not be forwarded to the JCA adapter. Reason: 2: Moving
    /ABCftp/To_XXX/140187613515701OUT_20140604-100214-622.TXT.tmp to /ABCftp/To_XXX/01OUT_20140604-100214-622.TXT failed.
    Files as TXT they are being written to the SFTP however when as TMP returns this error ... would not rule SFTP server to accept different TXT files?
    I also changed the namespace to "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/SFTP" and "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File" but is not working.
    Any help will be welcome!
    tks.

    Hi Durga and Naveen...
    I believe the problem is when the application's legacy system picks up the file because the log file got the "tmp", ie, was not formed yet ...
    I changed to a directory without the intervention of the legacy application and it worked.
    I'm waiting for the opportunity to modify the legacy system to capture only files with the extension TXT.
    Tks All for help!
