Got new ipad but it won't accept my apple id and password

I have an Ipad 2 and am trying to get it to log into my icloud account that has another ipad on it. I have IOS8.1.3 on the Ipad 2 but keep getting the message that I have an unsupported Apple ID and that I must use an email address. The Ipad 3 works fine on icloud and I have used all the sign-in from it. What next?

Hello Mil1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are getting an "unsupported Apple ID" error message when you try to sign in to your iCloud account. The following article has suggestions for troubleshooting iCloud issues. The following seems to address your issue:
I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.

My hard drive crashed on my apple computer recently. I have a new one, but it won't sync with apple tv1, and I want to retrieve my photos from teh appletv1. It appears in devices now, but won't let me go any further with it. Help

The hard drive crashed on my apple computer and I lost a lot of photos. I want to recover them from my apple tv1, but the computer won't seem to pair up with the apple tv. The Apple tv does appear in devices, but it won't let me go any further. The 'apply' button is a pale grey colour and you can't click on it. Help!!

there is no facility to recover your photos from the appletv.
the only way to link the appletv to your new "system" is to remove the existing itunes link and then link it to the new itunes - this will delete all content from the appletv though.

Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?) Where is the PW for my WiFi? I am stymied. Can I set up through My MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

Setting up new ipad 2. Won't accept my PW for my Airport Extreme (Wi Fi network?) Where is the PW for my Wi Fi? I am stymied. Can I set up through my MacBook Pro, which IS connected to my WiFi network?

If you could provide the make and model number of the modem that the AirPort Extreme will be connecting to, we can likely tell you a bit more about what to expect in the way of getting the AirPort set up and working.
Unfortunately, "plug and play" does not apply here. You will need to set up and configure the AirPort Extreme using your iPad or iMac to name the AirPort as a device, assign a device password, name the wireless network, assign a device password and a few other things.
Once the AirPort Extreme is set up, you can connect the PC to one of the LAN <--> ports on the AirPort Extreme using an Etherent cable.
The iPad and iMac will connect to the wireless network that the AirPort Extreme provides.

Time Capsule won't accept my user name and password for access - Help!

Hi all,
My Time Capsule seemed to stop working one day and I had to do a hard reset with the little button at the back. After that it worked and I restored my wireless network settings but now I can't access the Time Capsules hard drive with Time Machine.
When I try to choose it as my Backup Disk in the Time Machine preferences it says "Enter your user name and password so Time Machine can access the file server "Our Time Capsule" (the name of my time capsule). However, every time I try to enter my password I get "Sorry, you entered an invalid username or password".
I've already tried several resets of the Time Capsule and I've also tried logging on my computer as the Root user and changing my administrator account password back and forth but no go.
Help! and Thanks.

Norman & Harry,
Consider the following:
*_Time Capsule Keeps Asking Me For a Password_*
It will be important to know what is going on, or what you are doing when it asks for the password. Is it asking for a password only when Time Machine attempts a backup? Consider this:
It is NOT your username and password it wants when you try accessing the Time Capsule. (I know... it SAYS "username and password") But it means the Time Capsule's Name and Password.
You will find that by launching Airport Utility.
Select the TC on the left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Click the "Time Capsule" Tab.
You will see "Time Capsule Name:" and "Time Capsule Password".
Make sure “Remember password in keychain" is checked.
That is the information you need to enter when it asks for "username & password."
*I Don’t Remember What My Time Capsule Password Is*
You can see what your current TC password is by going into Keychain.
Open your Keychain and select "login" from the Keychains pane in the top left. Highlight "Passwords" in the Category pane from the lower left.
Sort all the items by Kind. Note everything labeled "Airport...". How many do you have listed? There should only be one "Airport base station password" for each base station that you have active. Also, there should only be one "Airport network password" for each network you have created. If there are more than these, then delete all but the ones with the most recent Modification date.
To see what passwords are being stored, double-click your Time Capsules' entry. A new window will appear.
Put a check beside "Show Password". You may be asked for your own Admin password so enter that.
Now the Password field will display the password you entered into Airport Utility for your Time Capsule
*It Still Won’t Accept the TC Name and Password*
Launch Airport Utility --> Manual Setup.
Select "Disks" in the tool bar above.
Click the "File Sharing" tab.
Is "File Sharing" checked? It should be.
What is selected beside "Secure Shared Disks"? If it says "With Accounts" or "With a Disk Password" then the system will ask you for a password every time it mounts the TC hard disk. If you switch it to "With Time Capsule Password" then use the password you designated earlier in the “Time Capsule" tab. It should only ask you once and then never again - because you had checked "Remember password in keychain".
If you have made any changes then click "Update".
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

Restopre from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also,
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

IMessage does not accept my Apple iD and Password

I have restored my iphone back to 2 days ago. After then when I want to log in iMessage, iMessage doesn't accept my Apple id and password. I know my Apple id and password. I can log in to itunes or icloud. Even to post this, I entered my apple id and password. But only iMessage doesn't accept it. Can someone kindly help me on this issue?

There are some iMessage/Facetime issues judging from the many posts here today. I would just sit tight and try again in a few hours.
There was an article about it earlier if you'd like to read up on it:

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

Icloud Won't accept my AppleID Username and Password

Hi -
iCloud will not accept my Appleid username and password...why is that? Can someone help!
Thanks,
RCWB

@Hackintosh-Thanks for sharing your thoughts, he was in fact a Senior Advisor. And yes, I totally agree with on all your points. He was out of line and not understanding clearly what the sitatution and principle was about. I am not a sucker, anymore that is, lol. I wouldn't let of course and called again. Fortunately, the Advisors I spoke to both said to your point an exception should be made on my favor.
I was then able to work with a Senior Advisor and did all kinds of stuff and agrees, the situation is completely out of the users league and relates to the Preferences inability to save changes to login and make changes for the mail system too. What we found interesting was the fact that we logged out and logged in another test user and logged in with my apple id just fine. We saw iCal download from iCloud and seen it work, weird. But because the issue was about the master Admin computer login, we needed the fix on that account, not the test account. We were on it for say an hour all over the system trying to get it to work, but now it has been escalated to the engineers and designers to get a deeper look into it. I suggested to somehow trace the connection to server since the server is rejecting the password, that should be the mode of investigation.
Anyways, he said it could take up to 4 calendar days to resolve, will update with further progress.
