Handoff is not working with my Apple Id

Cannot get handoff to work properly between my Macbook Pro Retina and iPhone 5s, both updated. I have tried each of the following, to no avail:
resetting all settings on the iPhone
restoring phone (brand new and from iCloud)
downloading and reinstalling 10.10.1 again
signing in and out of Apple Id on both devices
switching on/off handoff from both devices
deleting preference files via direction of support
power cycling airport extreme (why not)
The issue seems to be a snag with my Apple Id; I am able to use handoff as designed when signed into a completely brand new Apple Id. Signing back into my original Apple Id torpedos handoff and continuity. By the way, handoff worked fine before the first Yosemite and second iOS 8 update.
Anyone have any idea how my Apple Id got screwed up in this mess?

My apple ID is not working with my apple store

My apple ID is not working with my apple store

I have the exact same problem as "Jan Olsen 1"
I sent them feedback:
"I was given a $25 iTunes gift card.
When trying to log on to my account, my password didn't work (though I entered the correct password THREE TIMES).
I requested help changing the password through an e-mail. Went through the process, changed the password.
I successfully logged on to my account and entered the gift card information and was given a $25 credit.
When I tried to buy mp3s, I was asked to enter my password - AGAIN.
I got one of the following messages each time I tried to enter my NEW password:
'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (5002).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.'
or
'Verification is required.
You must enter your AppleID and password, click Billing Info, and verify your payment information in order to make purchases.
The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Please try again.'
Don't know where to go from here."
And then, just to log on to this forum, I had to enter my AppleID TWICE! Once, then again to verify my AppleID!
Ridiculous! Frustrating!

My macbook is back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. It was working prior to the repairs on the laptop. Is there a setting I don't know about that might have been changed?

My macbook pro is just back from repairs. It is not working with my apple led cinema display. I have followed the directions in the cinema display manual. am I missing something?

Take a look at the Displays preference panel to see if everything is ok, particularly the resolution and refresh rate. Displays will probably try to put the panel for the ACD on the ACD where you won't see it. So click "Gather Windows" to get the ACD panel on to your macbook.
One more thing, make sure you fully seated the mini displayport plug. They can be sneaky little devils in that they need to be fully pushed in.

Airplay not working with non-apple router

I use an airport express only for playing music in a remote location. It stopped working after I switched my main wireless router from a Time Capsule to a Linksys running Tomato USB firmware.
The Express is set up as "join a wireless network" with the correct SSID and password. The light on the Express is green and the main router status page shows it is connected, but Airplay cannot see the Express from either iTunes on my macbook or my iPhone. Also I cannot see the device in Airport Utility. When I connect the Express to my computer with ethernet, Airport Utility can see it and so can iTunes.
I have another Express hooked to the network via ethernet and everything works fine with that one.
Surely Airplay should work with non-apple wireless routers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

Factory reset the express, and try to make it join again...

HT1331 I just bought a airport wireless router I have a time warner cable modem. I have hook up the modem correctly to my new apple airport router and my modem is not working with the apple airport router. what do i need to do?

I just bought a airport wireless route and I have a time warner modem. My problem is my modem is not connecting to my apple airport router. What do I need to do?

Power cycle the cable modem.. you may try leaving it off 5min.. might be enough.. sometimes you need 15min or even longer.. Followed by power cycle of the AE.
Nothing else should be connected to the modem.. except the router that will get the public IP as they only hand out ONE>

Homesharing not working with my Apple TV2

I can't get homesharing to work. I type in my username and PW in iTune, I authorized my computer, but then Apple TV2 keeps telling me I need to turn on Homesharing on my computer? What's the deal?

After much groaning I think I have finally figured this out. My Apple TV worked fine for more than a year, then after an update it kept losing home sharing. I finaly noticed that this coincided with my computer display going to sleep. So after some investigation I changed my energy saver settings to NOT put the hard disk to sleep whenever possible. That seems to have taken care of it. I don't know why Apple couldn't figure this out.

HT204053 How can I retrieve my iCloud password? It's not working with the apple id password.

I had to reset my apple I'd password yesterday & now my iCloud is not logging in. I tried using both my old apple I'd password & the new one that I just reset. Neither work. How can I retrieve my iCloud password?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Why does my home wifi not work with my apple products

my computer, ipad, and ipod all say that when i connect to my house wifi there is no internet connection yet when i try to connect my xbox and galaxy phone the wifi works just fine i called the wireless company and they told me that the router is working fine i habe no idea weather there is some sort of setting that i can change on the router or on my devices but if there is can someone help it would be much obliged

Check the time and date on your computer and make sure it's accurate.
What happens sometimes if your data and time are off, you get a DCHP lease for the IP address from the router to connect, then it quickly expires, making it appear you connect for a second and then get cut off.
The Mac gets it's time from Apple servers, however if it's not connecting, then it can't update the time and date.
Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

HT5517 itunes movies not working with airplay/apple TV

Itunes music and pictures work fine when using airplay on my macbook pro (2011), but as soon as I want to play a movie that's stored on the macbook, I get at 3150 error and the macbook and Apple TV want to access the itunes store. What's the deal here?

Seems like the issue is with my home network. When I tried to ping the iPad2 or iPhone or Apple TV from the iMac it timed out even though they are all on the same WiFi network. I had a guest network also enabled which I disabled and tried pinging them and most of the time it works but gets the ping time varies a lot between 30ms to 1s but now I see the AirPlay option and my iMac shows up on my Apple TV.

Messenger not working with non-apple cells after changing password iOS password

I changed my password because apple decided to not accept my password simply trying to download an app and after i got home, i lost capabitilty of texting to non-iphones through the messenger app.
It absolutely lost the capability i had before simply by changing my password.
I tried relogging in in all my devices iphone, ipad, and macbook pro and though i can text fine on my iphone, i no longer can text outside of the apple world to android cell phone users.
How do i regain connectivity to the rest of the world instead of just apples?!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If the iCloud ID is the same one you use in Messages for the iMessages account then you need to change the password there and in all other devices.
As you tend to be unable to change all devices at the same time the link between the iPhone number and th Apple ID tends to get lost which then means any Text Forwarding linking also gets broken.
On the Mac Version Untick the Enable box for the iMessages account.
On the iPhone remove the Apple ID and place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a good two minutes.
Go back to the Messages settings after this and make sure the iPhone number Verifies.
When this is done turn th Enable box back On on the Mac version.
Untick the iPhone number as a Receive "ID". This may make the Start Conversation From drop down disappear.
Send an iMessages from the iPhone (it can only use it's number) to the Apple ID (Effectively the Mac)
Send a reply.
This will check that the iPhone (Number) can Send and Receive.
Now on the iPhone Add back the Apple ID to re-link them.
This should cause the Pop up to appear on the Mac.
If it does not Restart the Mac version.
This should Enable the unticked iPhone number in the Receive At list and make the Start Form drop down appear.
Now Reset the Text Forwarding.

MBP will not work with 20" Apple Cinema Display

I got a 20" ACD about a month ago. Everything was working perfectly until I disconnected it from my laptop a few days ago. After I reconnected, the display will no longer work. The MBP does no even show the needed resolution in preferences any more. I have tried every setting there is and have reset my PRAM. Nada.
Anybody have a clue?

IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.

I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.

Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer.
