Having problems setting up iMessage
I'm having problems setting up iMessage on my iPod Touch. I have several iphones and they all were configured out problems. But I'm having difficulty getting this to work on an iPod touch.
The iPod touch has been upgraded to the latest iOS 5.01 from iOS 5.0 and I still have problems...
I have a valid iCloud account
iCloud is setup and working fine on this iPod touch
I've shut-down and restarted the iPod touch
I've done a hard-reset
Wifi is setup properly...
Here's the issue:
I open iMessage (either through the Messages app, or via Settings/Messages
I'm asked to enter the Apple ID. So I enter my Apple ID and password
I click "Sign In"
The app moves to the next screen - "People will message you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?". I enter the same gmail address I'm using for my Apple ID
I click the Next button and it scrolls back to the original "Enter Apple ID" sign in screen in Step#2. No error message appears.
So I don't really know what to try next..
OK - solved my own issue finally.
The answer was buried in another thread within a reply from user fdm1979.
The time on this particular iPod was wrong...just flip the Date/Time to "Set Automatically", and then suddently imessage and FaceTime started working.

Im having problem setting up my Hotmail account, it used to work fine until few days ago. It says ive entered an incorrect username or password which i can sign in fine with them details if i use laptop or safari through the phone, Please help..
I Sugges you to log into your hotmail acc and go to security and password change bit, then you will see two-step verification.. turn that off and you will be able to set it up on your iPhone/iPad or even Mac.
Give your phone a restart before trying to set it up. Thanks -

Having problems setting up pop3 email on N97
I have asked over on the Vodafone forum, but not had an answer, so I'n not sure if any of you can advise ?
I Cannot recieve or send emails on my virgin email account and I also have issue with the following email accounts :
Virgin.net ( cant recieve or send)
Sky.com ( can recieve but not send )
123.reg ( can recieve but not send ).
I Can recieve emails via Wifi on my sky account, but cannot send emails by mobile internet on the same account, same goes for a 123 reg pop3 account ( can recieve but not send ).
I've tried a software update, resets , deleting and re-entering the email accounts and nothing changes :
I'm obviously doing something wrong, but am stumped ?hi Ian
First you have to do setting on you email account if needed so you can start receiveing email on mobile, also depend that email provider, do support email on mobiles or not if yes they might ask you to pay then again you have use trick to fix it.
now on n97 when you setting email address then do not put you email in setting put some thing which do not exi(not valid email address)t then it will ask you not vaild email with option to put manually email address, now you put your right email, then you can start receiving an email.
still haveing problem let me know which stage. -
Any one having problems sending imessages, i have three apple products, not one of them will send an imessage, just keeps coming up message fail.
Everything is turned onHi thanks for the advice, nope that never worked however today suddenly my iphone imessage has suddenly started working, again however it is not working on my ipad or my Macbook Pro, i beleive it is a fault of the resent update put out by apple.

This is my first I-product and I am having problems getting going. Can't buy apps as ID is not verified - I have tried but no luck, help!
When you sign up with an e mail address, apple will send an e mail to that address to verify it is really your, and that you are the one setting up whatever you are doing. The same process happens if you change your e mail, or add an additional e mial.
So watch you in box in that e mail account for an e mail from apple. You need to respond to it to confirm the set up.
If your provider has a spam filter, check in there. Some aggresive spam filters block the apple e mail.
Lastly, some report that they never get the email, cannot respond, therefore cannot set up whatever they are trying to set up. If that happens, try an alternate e mail address if you have one. -
Having problems logging into my iCloud account I keep using the same email address help please.
Where is it you are trying to enter your email address, what exactly are you trying to do. If you enable mail syncing in your iCloud settings, your mail account is automatically set up for you, you do not need to enter any of the details yourself.

I am having problems with my tx messages not going through. some do and some don't
Do you mean after a phone update? Do you mean just at home? Does it happen everywhere? Do you have wifi turned on? If its on and your not connecting just clear out the connections (forget) then reset up the connections and see if that helps. Did you get a Jelly Bean update? Many people have had wifi connections issues because your router is either outdated and not supported with the new os, or it needs a firmware update. Post back with more information.

Having problems setting up Family.
On my Mac in System Preferences I am the account holder, yet when you go into Manage Family, the organiser is my wife and she is me! On all our other iOS devices the organiser is me! And I can't invite my wife. When I send the invitation she is unable to accept because it says she is already part of the family yet she does not appear in the list. Also, how do you name another adult as parent?
jbrooker, I am having a similar issue to roaminggnome, we have 4 windows laptops, 2 iPhones, 5 ipods.
I have the iTunes account and the music Library on my laptop and this is used to sync to my iPhone and 4 iPods = 5 devices.
I have managed to share my library with my wifes laptop and she can access it when my PC is not on, she is also able to sync her iPhone to her laptop. She has her own iTunes account.
My son has an iPod and laptop but no iTunes account, his iPod is synced to my laptop and my iTunes account. But his laptop cannot download my iTunes Library he is getting a message saying that my iTunes account is synced to the maximum of 5 devices. Thus he can only see the library when my laptop is at home (and I take my Laptop to work etc).
Would this problem go away if my son has an iTunes account? He's only 11yo so I'm reluctant to set him up with one just yet.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
