Getting an error when setting up Apple ID on new Mac book air

I am setting up new Mac book air and getting an error at the sign up with Apple ID. Says couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again

I got this error when setting up a new iMac. I now beleive the reason was that I had already restored accounts and files from a Time Machine backup, and it then connected me to the Apple ID during the login. It is a flaw in the setup process that it didn't check for that and skip the Apple ID step.

    super keyword is used when there is inheritance (class extending other class). In your particular case, super keyword doesn�t make sense, since there isn�t inheritance between A and B. You can use the INT field by an instance of A class.
    a keyword like "parent" does not exist in java.

    Can't update new Mac book pro with iPhoto 9.3.4. Any suggestions?  Keeps saying an error has occurred.

    Try using this updater manually: iPhoto 9.4.3
    Or if you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Cannot sign in to Apple ID on new Mac Book Pro.

    I bought a brand new 13inch Mac Book Pro last night. However, I am not able to sign in with my Apple ID and password. I have restarted the process various times, I have shut the computer down various times, I have loggen into my Apple account on my other devices to ensure that my password and ID are correct, I have also registered my new Mac Book under my apple account, and I am 100% my wifi password is correct. It's been about 12 hours, close to 20 attempts, and still I am unable to sign in. I keep getting the same message: "Counldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again." Any thoughts?

  • Using apple tv to connect mac book air to tv

    Does anyone know if it is possible to use the apple tv to display something from a macbook air on to my tv?
    Or does the apple tv only display objects from itunes? if so, what cords would have to be purchased in order to do this?

  • How to change the Apple ID on the mac Book Air

    Hi,
    I just changed my apple ID name.
    However, I found some difficulties in applying the new ID in my devices.
    The situation is like this:
    1. I can not find how to change the apple ID on my air. When there are updates available, I was asked to enter my password.
    However, the apple iD was the old one. I do not know how to change it.

    Continued:
    2. After changing the apple ID, I heard that all the softwares need to be re installed because they belong to the old ID.
    Is that true and is there any ways to avoid this.
    Thanks!
