  • I can not sign in to FaceTime using my apple id

    I can not sign in to FaceTime using my @mac.com apple id, each time i try encounter the following message:
    The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try later. This has been an ongoing issue for several days.
    I am also unable to access Facetime preferences
    any suggestions for a fix please?

    I was having this problem and was able to fix it by going to system preferences and adding my @me email address as an additional apple id - then I signed on to facetime using that sign on info and it worked.  Good luck.as

  • Can Not Sign In to FaceTime - states check network connection and try again - but network is fine.

    I repeatedly keep getting notified: Could Not Sign In. Please check network connection and try again. When trying to log into FaceTime. Also note that click FaceTime on bar that Preferences is not highlighted by light gray. I can log into my apple ID okay and log in to write this comment without any problem. I am trying to talk with my Grandkids in England from Arizona on the iPads that I sent to each of them from my iMac. What am I doing wrong - have been repeatedly trying for past three hours.

    Hi RVBob,
    Sometimes firewalls cause trouble with Facetime, iMessage and other Apple apps - please try to open these ports from your router firewall (or ask somebody to do it if you don't know how).
    Enable port forwarding on the following ports to use FaceTime and iMessage on a restricted network.
    Ports
    FaceTime
    iMessage

  • 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.

    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?

  • Can not sign in.  please check your network connection and try again

    Since I updated my software to 7 on my iPhone 5 today, I can not sign in to iMessage of Facetime??  I get an error message that says "could not sign in.  please check your network connection and try again".  My network connection is fine on every other device in the house including my husbands iphone that has not been updated yet?  Anyone have this happen and have any solutions?  I spent an hour on the phone with apple today and they said this is happening a lot and see if it resolves itself in 24 hours?  Wow - thanks...

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

  • I can not sign in yahoo mail

    my FaceTime works fine,but can not sign in yahoo!mail,when I click the sign in the searching keep going,never stop!

    If Alanfromnewtoenards advice does not work, check in Settings Safari that cookies is set to <from visited> Private browsing is Off -  and that Java is enabled.  All can cause problems with yahoo failing to load, or loading slowly.
    If problems persist then also check//clear  website data and history.
    Also try signing in with either your facebook or google accounts to yahoo from the yahoo log in page in safari.

  • Can't sign in on FaceTime on 2010 MacBook Air 10.6.7

    I can't sign in to FaceTime on my MacBook Air. It says my Apple ID is not right or that I should check my network settings.
    The strange thing is that it does work on my iPad 2. I'm using the same Apple ID and I'm on the same network. It also works on my iPhone on that same network. I'm even able to setup a FaceTime call between my iPhone and my iPad.
    So what's wrong with my MacBook?

    hoi Jordy,
    try my tip in this topic: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15059382
    Changing the DNS may do the trick for your MacBook - at least for the network connection problem.

    but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
    If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
    It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.
    Plants vs. Zombies, and that is all for additional software on here
    FYI:  Some third party software can cause issues with the App Store >   Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

  • 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.

    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?

    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.
