Frustrated, What am I doing wrong, cannot get iCloud to set up.??  Just bought Lion 2 days ago.

I have tried and tried to set up Icloud on my Mac.  It continues to reject my apple ID & password. Even changed to another password.  All Apple support says you can use the same ID you use for the ITunes, App Store and I verified that and still it will not work!!  What could I possibly be doing wrong.  Never signed up for Mobile Me.  Hope someone can help me.  Apple wants to charge for aassistance -ridiculous... May be another trip to the Genius Bar?

I went through the whole Apple ID, I cloud info Apple has posted.  It says if I have an ITunes or Apps account, it should work -use same usernmae etc. and I have done it all.
I tried to set up again  and it keeps telling me wrong user id or password.  Even changed my password to see if that would work.
Nothing.. I am very frustrated by this!

  • What am I doing wrong... iCloud calendar on devices

    I have iCloud set up on my mac, iPhone and iPad. All works really good apart from the calendar.
    I have multiple, (at least 3) entries for each calendar event. I can't work out how to input one entry on my iPhone for example and that entry goes onto my other devices once and once only.
    Any ideas? I get the alerts too with each duplicate entry.

    The standard QT file from the net? What's that? Every file on the net seems different. Sorenson, Flash Video, H.264. What does item properties say the clip is exactly? Most of these compressed formats don't play back in vieo editing applications properly. They're delivery formats not intended for production. FCE is DV and HDV only video editing application. Those are the formats it works with.

  • I am having trouble exporting .raw files to an external storage device.  Even though I export "original" they end up as jpeg files.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    I am having trouble exporting .raw files from my Mac Book Air to an external storage device.  Even though I am exporting as "original" they are being exported as jpegs.  Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong?

    Using the "original" setting is the correct way to do it.  Select on of the photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  That will take you to the file inside the library via the Finder.  Confirm that what you see if the raw file.
    If it is then try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password.  When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted.  What am I doing wrong??

    My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password.  When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted.  What am I doing wrong??

    Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!!  My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again.  All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
    Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

    I bought a ringtone from the store but it doesn't appear on the ringtone list? What I'm doing wrong?
    how can I set this ringtone as my default Tone?

    I tried that already.. the thing is, i press "buy more tones" in the "incoming call tones" panel, and the ringtone i purchased appears as "downloaded", but it only appears on the iphones itunes, not in the tones panels.
    I know it's a small thing but y payed for this...

  • Trying to connect a Belkin brand audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV. Cannot get any sound from the laptop out of the TV. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.)  I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???

    Downloaded your operating manual.  It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection).  The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
    Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
    I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
    Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common.  In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
    Update:
    You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?).  The manual is not clear on this (page 31).  Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons.

    I dug a little deeper and found this:
    It is the Voice Memos in the Playlist check Box. Uncheck it and re-sync.
    It helped this time on my iTouch and my iPhone!  At least this time.

  • Cannot get migration assistant working from PowerBook to MacBook Air - what am I doing wrong?

    Hello out there,
    I am proud possessor of a new MacBook Air with Mac OS X 10.7. Up to now, I used a PowerBook with Mac OX X 10.4.11. Although the two macs - old and new one - are connected via the same WLAN network, I cannot get the migration assistant going. The two cannot find each other, although they are only 5 centimetres apart....what am I doing wrong? Do I need an update for the PowerBook? And if yes, which one? Or should I give up?
    Thank you so much for your help, greetings from sunny Munich, Evelyn

  • I have an apple iPad(the new one(3)).I cannot get it to sync spreadsheets  with my other ipad(2), on the numbers application.What am I doing wrong?

    I have a third generation iipad and a 2nd generation iPad.Both wifi only.I cannot get these two machines to sync spreadsheets  to each other using the numbers application and iCloud .What am I doing wrong?

    no they are already in mp3 format I just tried that home sharing today because I couldnt find any other reason why they werent syncing. here is an example of a sync I just tried. I made an mp4 concert into an mp3 it came out perfect on my computer.. then I tried to sync it to my ipad with no luck, other than it going on my computer, it did not show up anywhere on my ipad in any area of the music sections etc playlists, songs, albums etc. Its just not there but remains on my computer. thats why I tried the home share today to see if that would help. Either I am really missing something or there is something wrong with this ipad. Did you ever have any trouble like this, does anyone? and what is something good to try? thank you again for answering! I appreciate it.

  • Everything I own (iPad, iPhone, mac) is set up on wi-fi.  when i bring my work computer home (dell laptop), I cannot get it to keep the connection in a different room. All my other devices work.... does anybody know what i am doing wrong? please help!

    Windows drivers for Intel wireless cards are known problematic.. If you have plenty of signal and it still cannot keep or hold the connection the issue can simply be the type of wireless.
    Another problem is using names that windows does not easily handle.
    eg If you set the TC using apple names, like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule wireless24ad12
    Then to windows this is too long.. it has spaces and it has illegal character.
    Change all names on the TC to suit windows. Short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Also security must be suitable.. I have no idea how old or what OS your dell is, but if you still have issues.. pull off the security on the TC for a test.. if the computer suddenly works, it is not compatible with WPA2 AES. Make sure you also use a password that is mix upper and lower case plus numbers.. avoid special characters and make it 10-20 characters long say.. it is not required to be more than that unless you are paranoid.
