HT4061 I sign into FaceTime with my established apple I'd, but it prompts to set up a new account
I try to sign on to FaceTime, but it keeps prompting me to create a new account, but I already have an established Apple ID and password any ideas I'm not getting anywhere with this
Your apple Id is between you and apple. Your FaceTime account is between you and Facebook. Do you have a Facebook account? If so, sign into Facebook using your Facebook id.

I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help
What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
You can transfer itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one. -

How can I sign into iMessage with a different Apple ID?
I setup iOS5 and got it running. I used all my existing AppleID info.
Once it was running I decided to do some personal housekeeping and went to AppleID.Apple.com to clean up my various emails and to set my appleid to a email address that I actually am using.
I made the change and I was able to update to the new main ID in facetime but I can't login to iMessage anymore. It just keeps asking for the password to my old AppleID and won't allow me to put in the new ID.
How do I get iOS5 to forget the old iMessage ID?
Any advice would be great!
(I must add: This has been the MOST problematic update I've ever done with Apple - I had difficulties with my iPad2, iPhone 3Gs AND my AppleTV Gen2)
JasonGo to Settings>iCloud and change the email address. You can change the password there, too.
It took me some time to find it, too, but they seem to be two names for the same function. -
Dear Friends,
I am unable to contact my friends on FaceTime last 5-6 days. Although I am connected to the Internet and browsing my mails successfully, when I sign into FaceTime with correct ID and PW a message appears ' cannot connect to server. pl check Internet connection' this is very confusing. Pl help.
thanks
ARabinda GangulyMake sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

I can't sign into FaceTime or iMessage using my Apple ID.
I Have been trying to sign into both iMessage and FaceTime on all my apple devices. And it won't sign into either one of them. I know the password is correct because I am able to use iTunes and iCloud.
but its only with my Apple ID. I signed into FaceTime with my friends account and it worked perfectly fine.
why won't it sign in with mine?Hello nfgaan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice:

Ok i have tried signing into FaceTime with two different accounts and it keeps saying,"Cant sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." I am positive my wifi is working. Any suggestions?
Sorry to say but yes you are not alone.
There are other threads if you want to get into the detail but here is the best advice so far
1) make sure you have internet
2) make sure your time settings is not too far adrift (emerald sequoia free app will tell you) and try and adjust to get close to real time.
3) call or go online to apple support and go up the chain - explain that it is an AppleID validation problem (if you don't have AppleCare then that should wave the cost) - get the problem referred to engineering
4) keep trying (daily) to get in
5) don't expect Apple to get back to you to say it's fixed
6) if it persists then join the discussion in the main thread (47000 views must indicate something is up!)
Good luck!! -

I upgraded to os 6 and can't sign into FaceTime or iMessage since. Error message pops up saying incorrect username or password even though I use the same user name on iTunes. I tried creating a new apple I'd n that didn't work either.

I'm having trouble signing into facetime. Keeps saying to check my network, but the internet is fine and my firewall is turned off. I'm a Clear internet user and I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not.
there has been a big problem with facetime and imessage. The best solution for this case is to restore your device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Make sure you back it up. and I would set up facetime before you reinstall your backup and make sure its working. -
