Having trouble signing into Imessage?

If you have tried all the tips from other users try going into your date and time settings and checking the box to set time date/time automatically.  This worked for me and a couple others as well.

Hello Diane Smiley,
The steps detailed below can help resolve this error and get your signed into iMessage.
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.

  • I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel.  None of the iCloud suggested fixes work.  I'm using Windows 7 on a PC.  Is there a simple fix out there?

    I'm probably doing this all wrong.  Just in case here it is again.

    The book that I'm using said it wasn't necessary for this because it's supposed to just make sure everything is working properly--which it's not.OK, if you want to ignore my advice, so be it, but please don't complain that it is not going to work without even trying it yourself.

    Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
    Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
    a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
    "Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.

  • I am having trouble signing into my adobe account on my tablet it says failed to authorize device?

    I am having trouble signing into my adobe account on my tablet.  When I sign in it says failed to authorize device when I sign in and I have used my adobe account on this tablet in the past.

    I have tried that several times as well. All that I get is a white screen that says "hello" and tells me "Update Completed Your iPhone was updated successfully. There are just a few more steps to follow, and then you're done!" so i click "continue"  it asks for my iCloud password, I put it in and it goes black gives me white apple logo then takes me right back to where I started with the white "hello" screen displaying. Ive tried resetting my password multiple times and nothing is happening, I dont know what else to do.

  • Trouble signing into iMessage

    Hi,  Does anyone else have trouble signing into iMessage.  I used to use it all the time.  Then I had some problems with my Apple ID and also got a new computer.  Now I can't sign into it at all.  It just spins and spins like it's working on it, on my computer.  On my iPad it says it can't sign in with the ID and password I've given, which I KNOW for sure is correct. 

    Please take any of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, quit and relaunch Messages and/or FaceTime and test. Stop when the issue is resolved. If none of the steps helps, post your results.
    Step 1
    Make sure that caps-lock is not on and that you're entering the password correctly. If necessary, type the password in a TextEdit window and then drag or copy it into the Messages sign-in dialog.
    Step 2
    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
    Step 3
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage," "FaceTime," or "Apple Persistent" in the name.

  • I'm having trouble signing into Facetime on my ipad mini.

    I keep trying to sign into my Facetime on my ipad mini and after verifying, it comes back to the sign in screen.  I tried to reset the settings and that didn't work.  Anyone else have any suggestions?

  • Having trouble signing into Story through Premiere Pro CC

    Hi all,
    I'm having an issue signing into Story through Premiere Pro. I'd like to attach a transcript saved on story to a clip in premiere pro to be able to eventually use speech analysis. And the tutorials online suggested going to window and opening adobe story panel. Once I do that, I'm prompted to sign in with my adobe account, but my adobe email and password combination gives me an error message: The password you entered does not match your Adobe ID.
    Does anyone know a solution or work around to this? It seems like it should be so straightforward...

    Ah. Hmmm. I am an Android user and Premiere Pro likes my video just fine.
    Is there a way to convert the iPhone video to constant fps, or is there a setting that records it that way?
    Edit: if somebody would send me a link to some iPhone 5 video that I could download and mess around with, I would appreciate it.
    Edit: Couldn't Quicktime be used to convert it to a contant frame rate?

  • I'm having trouble signing into iTunes. I just bought the new iPad and I'm putting in my age and the year I was born, (Im 18) and It's saying that im not old enough. Do I have to be older to have an Apple Id?

    Mostly because you are not using any capital letters or paragraph returns and your post is difficult to read.

  • I am having trouble signing in to the App Store

    I am having trouble signing into the App Store to purchase an app for the Mac (Facetime for Mac). I have an Apple ID that works perfect with iTunes, additionally I used the same Apple ID to login to this support forum, again, no problems. However when I attempt to use it for the App Store, I get a message that reads, your password is invalid, it must have upper case, and lower case, and numbers etc. I am a single user, one person with one Apple ID on one iMac. Thank you for your time and help.

    Thank you. My Apple ID does NOT contain an upper case letter, and yet it works fine when signing into iTunes, and this help forum. But again, the App Store wants a PW with an upper, lower case and number. Perhaps I will have to make that minor change. Thank you again.
