Help with ICloud set up. What to do?

When I try to set up ICloud, it tells me invalid Apple ID, I know my Apple ID is correct, so what do I do?  I only have a MAC laptop -no I phone yet but will be putting Lion on 2 other laptops and both my daughters have I Touch and I phones.

  • HT4864 Need help with iCloud set up on Mac Mail Client

    hi thanks for you help.  I had a long day of issues with my icloud configuration on my Mac Mail. Suddenly (with no changes on my part) there were issues with emails going out. I followed the protocols below.  Is there an issue with my AUTHENTICATION choice? I tried external tps but that didn't work, but Apple Token is what is working). I have the box checked for keep sent emails. I can't figure this out and it's so frustrating. I have a new Air Laptop. 
    IMAP information for the incoming mail server
    Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 993
    Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
    Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    SSL Required: Yes
    If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
    Port: 587
    SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)
    Password: Your iCloud password
    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    Those look like the correct settings.  You might want to post this over in the OS X Lion forum to see if they have any suggestions.

  • Help with iCloud set up

    I mistakenly used my iTunes account to sign in to the cloud on my iPhone - but using me.com account on my iMac - how can I change the phone?

    Not even sure what I should have done - I have one account I use for purchases on iTunes - maybe that's the one I should use but mobile me had a different one - I want to be able to access my pictures and iTunes purchases sent to each devise automatically (I have 3-4 "devices" I'll want to sync). So to do the iTunes thing, do I need to set up with the iTunes purchase acct I've been using?
    Also, is the Mail sync only for the me.com mail? I assume it is, but wish I could sync all mail I read into my Mail program on various devices....

  • Need help with iCloud set up hang

    I set my iPhone with no issue. When I tried to set up my iPad generation 1, I put my user and password info in and it returns an "incorrect user name or password" message and then hangs.
    I have tried putti in incorrect passwords with the correct user name. I have also tried the other way around. Both rerun the error but do not hang.  Suggestions?

    Try "resetting" the iPad then try again.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I had asked for some help with ICloud  3 weeks ago but no one answered, cloud has my old email and will not let me sign in my Iphone has not backed up in 9 weeks probably same for my iMac cannot even et to my photos. HELP please  Sandie P

    Had asked for help with iCloud 3 weeks ago.  Cloud has my old email and I no longer know the password, wont't let me sign in with new email.  When I talked with apple cust service they assured me that everything associated with apple would change over.  NO it did not! Cannot find how to get cloud to change this. My Iphone says I have not backed up in 9 weeks because of iCloud.  Can anyone help me or give me some advise please
    Thank you so very much
    Sandie P

    Same thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer &amp; syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved.

  • Hi guys, need your help with iCloud notes on Mac 10.7.5; I've found this feature's more useful comparing with stickers, however can't pin notes to desktop or dock, "double click"on the note doesn't work with this version of software.

  • I keep getting server errors with icloud why and what can l do

    Can any one help me please

    That's an awfully vague question. What servers? Mail? Calendars? and what operating system are you using?
    I'm going to hazard a guess that you are having trouble with your email, and that you are using a pre-Lion system such as Snow Leopard. (If this guess is incorrect you're going to have to provide more details.)
    You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
    Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is described in detail here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    If you have Tiger you can set up mail manually, though no other iCloud facilities will work:

  • Can anyone help with icloud and apple accounts getting mixed up on 2 phones?

    Basically husband upgraded from 4s to 5c. Gave dad 4s. I tried to set his dad up with icloud and apple id but didn't realise husbands old sim card was in 4s. Now neither phone works and husband very annoyed his apple id and password don't work anymore. Please help!!!

    Hi Chris
    So husband got new phone. Was all set up and up and running when we left the shop
    Gave dad the old phone. It was locked to Vodafone so we had to ask them to unlock. He then got his three sim cut down to fit.
    Weeks after husband had his 5c we went to dads to set his 4s up. I upgraded it to latest software iOS something. Anyway didn't realise it was husbands old sim still in phone.
    After upgrade it asked me to set up apple account (I think) could have been icloud. Anyway I started setting it up with dads email and password choice. Husband then saw message on his 5c saying his dads email was being added to something on his phone.
    At this point I left alone but now when husband tries to use his apple id for apps etc it says invalid user id or password. It's as though the 2 have got mixed up. Bit it won't let him reset his password?
    Does this make sense?

    I've found the error message and it says "java.sql.SQLException: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed" since i close the connection & the statement in my finally clause
            finally{               
                    try{con.close();} catch (SQLException ignoreThis){}
                    try{cStmt.close();} catch (SQLException ignoreThis) {}
            } but im wondering why the ResultSet is also closed...Is there anyway for me to close the connection and statement without closing the ResultSet?

  • I need help with iCloud and restoring

    I have an app and in order to transfer the account of the app, it says: "If you still have your old device, please sync/back up your account to either iTunes or iCloud. Next, sync your new device with either iTunes or iCloud and restore data."
    I have no idea what to do with iCloud. I have my old iPhone 5 and I would like to transfer my account to my iPhone 5c. I don't have an iTunes setup for either of these devices. I just recently backed up all my pictures and videos and data into iCloud on my iPhone 5c. I have two different iCloud accounts, one for my iPhone 5 and one for my iPhone 5c. If I were to sync my old device and restore the data onto my new device, will it restore ALL the data? Will it delete any data from my old device or my new device? Can i just restore the data for one app? If possible, how?
    The thing is that I dont need or want any data from my old device or than the account/data from that one app onto my new iPhone 5c.
    Also, my iPhone 5c has the latest iOS. But my iPhone 5 still doesn't even have iOS 7, will this affect anything? Should I update it to iOS 7.0.3?

    follow instructions here.

  • Hi i need help with iCloud mailing plz help me!

    hi my name its rexhep kamberi am having so many troubels with icloud mail i keep putting paswoord but keeps asking me and asking i dont know why but please help

    Try to delete your account from your device (Settings > iCloud) and then set it up again. This fixes the problem in most cases.

  • Help with icloud for two users

    I have an iphone 4s and my husband just purchased an iphone 5. All my contacts have ended up in his phone and as he deletes them - they delete from my phone also! How can I stop this from happening. IS this something to do with icloud??? I there away of have one itunes & icoud accounts and still have more than one ios mobile device that operate separatley?

    The short answer is no. Anything that signs in to the same iCLoud account gets to share EVERYTHING. That after all is the point of iCloud.
    I would suggest that the solution is to each have your own iCLoud account (neither of you share any of the other's data) and also set up a third 'shared' account that you both will have access to add, edit, delete etc. So each of you will be using 2 accounts, your own and the shared one. Then simply use them as appropriate, so e.g. each of you keeps your own contacts in your own account, but any contacts that you share, put in the shared account. Same with Calendars etc.
    That would be the correct way to do it.

  • Help with iCloud, Snow Leopard

    I have a new hard drive on our Mac which has Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. I previously transferred everything from MobileMe to iCloud, but now that I have a new hard drive on my Mac it cannot sync up with MobileMe or iCloud. How do I sync everything?

    You can set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access an existing iCloud account's email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
    You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, and there is a convoluted hack which has been reported as working for Address Book (and as not working by others - I've not tried it), but iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation with Snow Leopard and iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    There are a couple of third-party solutions which may be of interest.
    BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.
    Soho Organizer can sync Calendars and Contacts with iCloud on Leopard, Snow Leopard and Lion. A single user licence (multiple machines allowed) is $99.99.
    (I have no connection with either firm.)
