HT1551 I can't add my iTunes account in Apple TV 3

I have the recent version of Apple TV, I managed to add one account, my husband's, but now I can't add mine... I have followed the steps several times: go to add new account, enter Apple ID, password (being carful it's case sensitive) and once I click ok, my account doesn't appear. Could you please help? Thank you!

Solution: Go to the User Library and search for the Containers, Apple's newest annoying "feature". Here you find the true Mail folder. Delete everything (unless you have any POP-Accounts, then this solution won't apply). Also go to the Mail folder in User Lib Preferences and delete it entirely.
Then empty the User Caches folder to the Trash, don't empty it.
Open System Settings, delete your iCloud account. If it cannot be deleted due to an error concerning AppleMail, leave it as is.
Restart Mac.
Empty Trash.
Launch AppleMail. Create all accounts other than iCloud.
Create iCloud Account by NOT using the template in the dialog list - do it as "other", AppleMail will recognize it and do the rest.
Open System Settings, create your old iCloud acount again.
Restart Mac.
Done.

  • How can I add an email account in apple mac which ends with .consulting

    We changed our email account and the domain name is .consulting. How can I add this account to my Mac mail?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous Apple ID and password to unlock the device. If you do not know the password you might be able to recover it at this link:
    https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid
    This normally will require that info is sent to the primary email address associated with the Apple ID. If you have an alternate email address assigned to that Apple ID you might get the password via the alternate email address.

  • Can't add a GoogleApps account in Apple Mail

    Apple Mail seems to not working properly:
    I have a Google Apps email ( the address is created with a domain of my property ) and if a try to add the account using the standard "gmail" option, the software don't do nothing: it resets the form's input and give no feedback. What does it mean?
    I tried to ad the gApps account in a manual mode, selecting the "other address" option, but it's not working very good, I think it lost some emails.
    I can't understand why I can't add the GoogleApps address in the properly way, I have already do it on others macs.

  • Can't add Gmail (POP) accounts to Apple Mail

    I noticed a day before the 10.5.7 update that my existing gmail accounts in Mail suddenly stopped retrieving mail, giving "a server not responding" message. So I delete the accounts and try to add again. And again, pop server not responding. This was all on 10.5.6 mind you, and yes all my settings are correct under google settings.
    10.5.7 was released and I seen in the notes that there was a problem with gmail and Apple Mail in the past (no problems for me but I only used POP). So, like always, I repair disk permissions, download the full combo update and install. After install, like always, I repair disk permissions again before doing anything else.
    Same thing. Can't add my POP gmail accounts to Apple Mail. POP server not responding

    I have just experienced the same issue with a gmail account I setup in Mail when I bought my first Macbook 2 years ago. I've never had any problems with the gmail POP server before, until last night July 26th 09. Then suddenly a couple of minutes after successfully retrieving the emails as usual, it tried again and failed, asking for the password. I entered the password, but still came back saying POP server not responding.
    I did some updates yesterday, but nothing more than the one for the pro apps. I'm completely up to date with all Leopard updates. Also I've double checked that all is working with my gmail account and settings; no change in settings or password were made.
    Do I need to delete the account in Mail and recreate it from scratch, then, is that the only answer when this error seems to occur out of the blue?

  • Can I add an itunes gift card to my daughter's account?

    We bought my daughter an ipod touch and added family sharing in order to make sure we can see what she is adding to the device. Can I add an itunes giftcard so that she can buy things, or will all of her charges be applied to the credit card on file?

    See:
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    Her redeemed card balance will be debited before any charges to your credit card.

  • How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    How can I combine two itunes accounts into one?

    Items purchased from the iTunes Store are permanently associated with the account from which they were originally purchased.  Apple provides no way to change this.
    However, if you wish to put content from two accounts into a single iTunes library, you can easily do so.  Use the command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.

  • I can log into my iTunes account but can not access my account details, what's wrong?

    I'm starting a new discussion here even though there is really nothing new to add to this discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3572699?start=0&tstart=0
    I can sign in to iTunes with my apple ID no problem. However when I click account from the drop down menu (by my ID in the right hand corner of the iTunes screen) I get a sign in window in which my ID is filled in but it wants my password which I duly fill in . At this point the window just keeps coming back up for me to fill in. If I fill my password in wrongly I get red text telling me so.
    So basically I can't view my account details even though I'm clearly logged in. I'm increasingly worried because If I can't access my iTunes account data how do I know my credit card is not being used by someone else?
    I'm guessing it's a problem specific to my machine (MBP running up to date Lion) I'm wondering if it could be connected to the safari cookie problem that affects other issues with pop up windows as documented (and solved) here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3502463?start=45&tstart=0
    Only I don't have that problem any more!
    Help would be very much appreciated.

    Problem solved!
    I started to suspect that the problem was with my computer rather than the apple servers.
    Reparing disc permissions from Disc Utility seemed like an obvious thing to try but I thought I had done this without it working. However on OSX daily  I read..."In mac OSX Lion repairing permissions from the Disk Utility app doesn’t repair the users file permissions"! Hmm nice one Apple- reparing permissions does not repair permissions! It seems that you have to use disc utility from recovery mode.
    I then followed these instructions on OSX daily (dot com)
    Repairing a Mac Boot Disk with Disk Utility & OS X Lion
    Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R  (To boot into recovery)
    Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
    Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the “Repair” tab
    Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot volume
    Now verify disk permissions and repair them
    This solved the problem for me
    Hope it helps......
    Am I allowed to award myself a greenie? Well I'm going to anyway because it was a pile of work getting to the bottom of this and I hope it helps others.

  • How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    How can I delete an iTunes account ?

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account (which would also delete any purchase history for it, so you would no longer be able to authorise that content on a computer, redownload it, and download updates to its apps) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Or you could just remove any personal info from it (e.g. payment details if you have any on it) and stop using it

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.
