HT1911 Can not sign in to MobileMe on my desktop under system preferences

I can't sign into MobileMe from my Mac Desktop in system preferences.
It states "Unknown Validation Error Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password."
I can sign in from the internet and from my phone with no problem so I know I have the right user ID and password. Does anyone know what would be causing this? Very frustrating...

Can't find printer on airport or in 'add' under system preferences

Hi I just purchased an imac and also the printer recommended to me by apple that they included in my package. I've gotten the printer to work just fine if I have it plugged into the usb, however the printer IS connected to my wireless network and yet I can't seem to pick it up with my airport or the system preferences>adding a printer. What should I do? I looked at numerous other posts, but none seem to address if the printer simply isn't showing up. I know it is connected to my wifi (set up through the printer's controls) because I have a green light on the printer, so why can't my imac pick it up? any help would be great.

I keep getting to that point...pushing the + sign, but then there aren't any printers there either. I've looked all over...the airport program, the different settings within adding a printer...just doesn't seem to be there. although the printer can print a page confirming its connection to my wifi. other things in the house have worked, such as setting up the wii with netflix, configured that through this imac. Just doesn't seem to see the printer. anyways, perhaps I will have to call. gotta say, I thought getting the printer in the package through apple would eliminate this situation...

Problem with Maverics: Can not sign in to App Store, Mac slow, Aperture not working

I was using a Mac Book Pro 15" supplied with Snow Leopard. I have created an ID and used it to purchase apps such as Aperture. After buying an iPhone 5S, I wanted to share the contacts and was suggested by the seller to upgarde the Snow Leoprad to Maverics and use the iCloud. After installing the Maverics following happened:
- I can use iCloud and share the contacts, mission completed
- the Mac is running slow, really slow (as an old pc)
- Aperture can not be used, a major problem since all of my photos are stroed on an external disk via Apeture
- I can not sign in to App Sore to refresh my purchases and see if there is an update for Aperture
- I tried to sign in by clicking the forgot password and entering my ID (e-mail address) but have received no mail - total mistery
- I also see that the HP 7610 printer icon is not active and assume that will also be a problem
What should I do? I need a fast running computer. I need Aperture, all of my private and business photos are accessible only via Aperture. I can sign in with the same ID/password on an iPad. The problem is obviously due to installing the Maverics. I do not have a time machine/capsule.
Urgently need support, please help.

Just for the record, you should enter your Apple ID ([email protected]) and password...
Provided you did that and it doesn't work:
You're using an account with parental control active?
Do other logins with your Apple ID work? E.g. icloud.com, iTunes, ...?
Correction: I did correctly enter my Apple ID and its password. And there are no parental controls.
But I found a fix: I went to the Featured page and it showed me as logged in. I clicked the Account link and in the pop-up for that entered my Apple ID and Password. Now I can once again see my Purchases.
It would seem to have been some undue delay or glitch at the Apple server end.

When I try to sign in with my Apple ID and password, it says I can not sign in. To check my network connection and try again.

I am connected to my home wifi network. Why can't I sign in??

Not sure, but iAd Producer probably has nothing to do with this.
Did you try posting in a forum that discusses iPhone, or FaceTime, or networking?
I searched and this looks like the best fit : https://discussions.apple.com/community/iphone/using_iphone

Any solution ?

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

TS4403 what does "you can not sign in because of server error" mean? I cannot sign in to icloud control panel. how do I fix this?

Why do I keep getting a "you can not sign in because of server error" when I try to turn on my icloud control panel from my Windows 7 PC?
I'm able to log in from my browser, why not from control panel?

Can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

can not sign in to Icloud it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

Error Message: "Cannot sign in. The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then.

Can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage on ipad air

For some reason I can not sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID anymore. They both used to work, but they just stopped.. Now when I try to sign back in I get a message than an error occurred during sign in. I use two different Apple id's, one just for iCloud and one for everything else.

Can not sign in online from Photoshop Elements 10

can not sign in online from Photoshop Elements 10

No, because there's nothing to sign in to anymore. Photoshop.com is dead and gone and you should have received a bunch of emails about any photos you had there getting moved to Revel. But you can't access revel from within PSE 10:
