FaceTime cannot connect with my Apple ID or make a new connection.

I have a problem with Facetime on my MacBook Pro. It shows my camera okay, but cannot connect with my Apple ID or make a new connection. Just get an error message that reads "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." But I'm still connected to the internet and I can still access the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. Any ideas?

Yes Susan,
I changed my DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 and was then able to sign in to Facetime using my Apple ID. Apple then sent me an email verifying my email address, and all was good. I then changed my DNS settings back to normal and Facetime works completely fine.
You can find your DNS Settings in your Network Preferences, then click Advanced at the bottom right, then click on DNS from the tabs at the top.
Hope that helps

Don't think is related to the problem, but you should update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Why when I try to login the Itunes Connect with my Apple ID it always says: "Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect."?

Look on one of your bank statements and be sure to enter the billing address exactly as it shows on the statement. Some folks forget where they actually get the statement. They put their home address in iTunes/Mac App Store and they actually get the statement at their place of employment or vice versa.

How can I resolve the issues connecting to my wireless connection with my Apple tv?

Ive had my Apple tv for about a month now & I still have not even used it for what I actually got it for. It allows me to use the airplay feature with my ipad2. But when I try to use the home sharing feature it never connects with my apple ID. At first I thought that maybe I'm just typing it the wrong way, but then I used the same ID and password to purchase an app on my iphone & it works. It's not my wireless connection because multiple devices connect to it just fine, without any issues. I tried reseting it, that obviously didnt work. I really just dont know what else to do.

you can't rely on airplay mirror some apps support the old in app airtune audio only option if the video app in question does you can do it from the apps settings somehow
if not then you need a airport express which does pretty much what airplay mirror on the Apple TV does but it's a audio only

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices?

Am I correct in assuming that Messages cannot communicate with non-Apple devices from laptops and or desktop apple devices? From iPhone there seems to be no barriers to this using Messages.

I wonder if Mt. Lion will include texting to "other" devices. For there to be true continuity across platforms this needs to happen.
Right now I am having an interesting thing happen - even messaging with another Mac User I am getting the red ! on all my messages sent from my mac. Yet he is gitting them. I am assuming this is some kind of beta thing.

Which "Hands Off"- rules prevent iTunes and iMessage to connect with my apple ID data?

I think I've got a problem with my "Hands Off!" rules on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.3.
I can't connect with my Apple IDs in the programms iMessage and iTunes Store. I just had a similar problem with my App Store: there where rules responsible for the problem, which names weren't apparently related to "App Store".
Do you know which "Hands Off!" rules have to be switched off/turned on?
Thank you very much!

If you have a utility called Hands Off then I would use their web site.

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I cannot sing into FaceTime or messages with my apple ID

I just bough an iPad 2 and created an apple ID. I received the verification email and my ID was verified. However, when I try to sing into face time I select to connect using my apple ID, then the screen where I am asked to choose what email address I want use and does not let me to write or press next. It just return to the previous screen where it asks for the apple ID and password. I did this several time and still doesn't work.

Try this(relevant passage from Apple support document):
FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID or phone number for use with FaceTime. If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
Sign in to FaceTime on your device using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with FaceTime, other FaceTime users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at myinfo.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
Check that your email address is verified in Settings > FaceTime.
If Settings > FaceTime shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in Settings > FaceTime.

How do I get my iMessage to connect with my Apple I.D.?

When I try to sign into my iMessage on my MacBook Pro, it won't connect and it says there is an error when I try to log in with my Apple I.D.

HT3819 I can use remote on my iPhone to connect with my iTunes library, but i can't connect to another computer using home sharing to access apple tv. I have used the same access ID and password that is used for the apple tv.

I can use the Remote app on my iphone to connect with my itunes library on my computer, but I can't connect to the Apple TV using home sharing with another computer in the house. I am using the same ID and password that the apple tv uses to connect with the other computer. Also how do I check what version of IOS that my iphone is using?

Version:
iOS Settings>General About (or it'll say when you hook it up to iTunes)
Are all the devices on the same physical network? I think you're saying all are set up using the same home sharing credentials.
If you've not done so restart all devices and your router.
If you can get any of the devices connected by ethernet to reduce the wifi burden that may help but to be honest I would not expect simply beoing on wifi to prevent devices/computers appearing in the list.
Does the other computer have any firewall or port blocking software running?
