HT204053 I cannot log into iMessages using my Apple ID.

When I attempt to use iMessages on my MacBook, and I try to login using my Apple ID, it rejects it. I know it is the correct ID, because I have used it to log into iTunes.

Hello there, PatrickVF.
Login issues can certainly be perplexing at times. I've found that this article covers some of the primary bases for troubleshooting login issues with your Apple ID.

  • HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • I cannot log into FaceTime using my Apple ID on my iPad Air

    Whenever I try logging into FaceTime with my Apple ID it says check your network connection .

    Apple posted this about the facetime issues. You may find an answer there. One thing to bear in mind is that both parties have to have their devices updated.

  • TS3367 Cannot log into FaceTime using correct apple ID, tried several times and restarted numerous times as per messages posted on apple community postings still nothing seems to solve the problem! Please help!

    Tried to log into my FaceTime account, but keep on getting "password incorrect" message. Restarted iPad as suggested by posted comments but still no positive result. Tried alternative email accounts such as @me.com but also no positive result. Please help.

    Well after two attempts at trying to repair Facetime and iMessage by restoring my iPad, I am still left with the same outcome, no Facetime or iMessage. What I think has happened is when I first set up my iPad I used a different password, now that i have changed my password and cannot remember the old one I cannot access eitehr application. Whast strange is that you would think that when changing my password it would change the password on all devices when doing the synch from iTunes. For some reason this has not happened and the old password is still intact in Facetime and iMessage. I even tried backing up twice, the first time from iCloud and secondly from my Mac but even this has not resolved the problem. I also set up my iPad as a "new" iPad and this also had no impact. still struggling to resolve this, would appreciate help if anyone out there has a solution or something else I can try. i have run out of ideas.

  • Cannot log into iMessage on iPad

    Hi,
    Strange thing happening: I cannot log into iMessage using my appleid. I can use this same appleid to
    - buy apps on this very same ipad
    - sign in to iMessage on my iPhone (ios6) or mac (mavericks).
    The error my Ipad gives me is username / password not correct
    This is an ipad 2 16Gbyte 7.1.1.
    I tried to restart my ipad, restarted the iMessage app serveral times...
    Any idea ?!
    RUdi

    Tried all that.
    It is really weird, as the ipad having the issues is on the same network as the mac that works.
    the network (internet connectivity) just works (can surf, and buy apps (with the samen uid/pwd
    as appleID)
    The errormessage tells me that the username / password combination is wrong, nothing
    else, which is really weird. (really sure I have the correct UID/pwd ! (the one that works on
    the mac))
    the ipad is a wifi only one.

  • Cannot log into YouTube using iPad app

    Ok, I'm stumped. No matter what I try, I cannot log into my YouTube account using the iPad app.  I cannot login using the app on my iPhone either. I've tried the application specific password and that didn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. If that does nothing to solve the issue, then it is likely times to restore the iPad to its factory settings.

  • I cannot log into oracle using the user scott

    I installed oracle, but I did not go through the underlined step. I am not sure if I skipped or it was not there during the installation
    The Database Configuration Assistant will provide installation summary
    and list the accounts that are unlocked. It will ask you for password management. Sys
    and System accounts would be already unlocked.  Unlock HR and Scott accounts,
    and for these two accounts also specify the same password that you had given before.
    When I test logging into Oracle using the user Scott, it shuts down.
    I am using windows 7, and I installed Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0)
    Enterprise/Standard Edition for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)
    How can I log into oracle using the user Scott?

    Hi,
    Welcome to the forum,
    After installing Oracle 10g SCOTT user will be in locked, you should unlock it.
    Login as sysdba using the below command
    sqlplus sys as sysdba
    password:<ur password>
    after connecting as sysdba use the below command to unlock the SCOTT user
    ALTER USER SCOTT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
    Now connect as scott you will bw able to connect.

  • HT204053 unable to log into iMatch using Apple Id and password.  Msg says i have valid Id for store but not iMatch.  What to do?

    unable to log into iMatch using Apple Id and password.  Msg says i have valid Id for store but not iMatch.  What to do?
    Is there a way to reset iMatch username and password?

    An Apple ID which consists of a non-Apple address can perfectly well be used to create and sign into an iCloud account (most Apple ID's take this form). Your problem is that you can't create an iCloud account on Windows: you can only do it on a Mac or an iOS device. Once created on one of those you can sign into it on Windows using the iCloud Control Panel.

  • Why can't I sign into iMessage using my Apple ID?

    I have just created a new Apple ID so that I can use iMessages across my devices without receiving my wife's messages.
    The ID must be set up okay as I have logged into this community and posted this question with it.  I have done the e-mail verification as well.
    How ever, if I try to log into iMessage, I get an error saying 'Incorrect Apple ID or password'.  Can anyone tell me what is going wrong please, because this is driving me nuts!
    Cheers,
    Dave

    Update: I have also tried on an iPhone and I got the same result.  It's as if something needs to be enabled to allow an apple ID to work on iMessage, but I cannot see any setting...

  • Cannot log into iMessage or FaceTime it says an error has occured

    iimessage was not delivering so tried to log back into iMessage and facetime but it tells me an error has occured during activation and to try again

    Hello meganatherton2000,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    It appears that you get an error when trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime on your iPad mini.
    You mentioned that you signed out of iMessage and FaceTime because messages were not delivering. Be sure to restart your iPad mini before trying to sign back in to iMessages or FaceTime, as mentioned in this article:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
    Restart your device.
    If this issue continues and iMessage can't be activated for more than an hour, the article above suggests contacting Apple Support:
    Still not activated after an hour?
    It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
    Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • HT204053 I cannot log into the iCloud website from my PC laptop. No issues linking to email on iPhone or on my MacBook. Please help?

    I have an original @mac.com email address and also use my address at [email protected]
    I have no issues logging into iCloud account from my MacBook or accessing my account from my iPhone.
    But anytime I try to log into the iCloud website from my work PC laptop, it tells me my Apple ID or password are incorrect.  I try logging in with both address endings, @mac and @me and nothing.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Cannot log into Planning using Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

    Hello,
    Our IT department is planning on switching everyone's computers to the newest systems available (Windows 7, Office 2010, IE 8). I am doing some testing of our Hyperion products on the new systems and have run into an issue. When using IE8, I can log into Workspace fine and can view reports out of Financial reporting just fine too. However, when I try to navigate to the Planning application, it just hangs and it will not log me into Planning. Any suggestions? In case it matters, we have Planning 9.3.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Like John G. mentions Oracle does have a documented stance on IE8. There will be a service release for 9.3 and 11.X releases which addresses this compatibility.
    I have produced a work-around which many firms have successfully implemented.
    You may find it on my blog at http://www.metavero.com -- NOTE: this is not an Oracle supported solution.

    I searched for you and found this answer:
    com.apple.appleaccount error 403 is the "best guess" error presented by IOS 7 when it see's the 3 user creation limit is reached and you attempt to create a new ICloud account by logging into ICloud on phone that has used all 3 account creation limit set by Apple.
    Fix: go to a different Apple device that has not burned up its 3 per device ICloud account creations and setup the account there.
    NOTE: you will use up one of the 3 maximum ICloud account creations on the device you use.
