I cannot sign in my imessage on my mac after updating to 10.8.2. Why?
what can i do to sign in?
Try deleting the cache associated with Messages ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Messages/URLCache
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the URL Cache folder.
Try logging into Messages.

Cannot sign in into app store on iPhone after updating to iOS 8.2
Hello guys,
I'm having a problem here, I wonder if anyone else has this problem too and also have a solution for it. so, I tried to restore my iPhone by iCloud backup.. everything seemed to work well until I did chose the backup I want, after that an error pop ups saying something like "Cannot connect to this backup server." or "Cannot connect to server" I don't remember exactly so I was forced to set up my iPhone as new. I did that, everything seemed but when I tried to download some apps I obviously had to log in into my Apple ID... and every time I try to log in into App Store/iTunes store I get this error "Cannot connect it iTunes store".
It never happened before updating to iOS 8.2
(It happened sometime in the past when I tried to log in into app store, but after closing the settings from the task menu and re-open it again it worked)
Check THIS post guys, I think it is happening to a lot of users.
ThanksAs per the Apple iCloud status page, they are having issues. Do not make changes at your end.

Cannot sign in to iMessage by any account on ipod
Hello,"
I cannot sign in to imessage from my account or any other account on ipod, but can on the iPad please help me it writes "The user name or password for '[email protected]' was incorrect. Try again" and i am pretty sure i wrote both f them correctly ive been trying to sign in all day help me please.Hello cindydenenberg, many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
If clearing cookies doesn't work then maybe the '''cookies.sqlite''' file that stores the cookies is corrupted. Try to rename, or delete, '''cookies.sqlite '''(cookies.sqlite.old) and delete also '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' (if exist) in Firefox [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile profile folder] in case the file cookies are corrupted.
Thank you. -
After having updated iso 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,i cannot sign in for Imessage and Facetime
After having updated ios 7.1 on my Iphone 4 ,cannot sign in for imessage and Facetime?
Having the same issue but it seems to be everything - messages, phone, contact, viber. It's made my phone completely useless!! I open it, opens it, doesn't load anything but the white page and then it goes back to the home screen.
I can't even go back to a phone back up as it wont connect to itunes any more - says it needs to be updated - app store has no update for itunes. -

amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

I cannot use personal hotspot on my iphone 4 after update ios 7.1
I cannot use personal hotspot on my iphone 4 after update ios 7.1. Please help me.
The update may have caused a change in identification for the network. Also, you never answered if the network appears ready on the phone to share. You may have to reset the network, and forget the network on the iPod Touch and the computer before attempting to connect again.

Cannot sign in to iMessage and Facetime with Apple ID (only one or the other)
Hi
I have an iPhone 5 running the latest iOS (on AT&T), not jailbroken.
I have recently got family to use Facetime and have been using it more and have noticed I am unable to use my Apple ID for both Facetime and iMessage- if I am signed in to one of them, I am unable to sign in to the other- I get in a loop of the phone repeatedly popping up a password entry screen for the Apple ID.
If I cancel the process and sign out of either, I can successfully sign in to the other. But no matter which I sign into first, I cannot sign in to both...
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone solved it?I THINK I might have found out a fix. First, I went in and signed into iMessages, but left Facetime logged out. I then went in Settings and turned off FaceTime altoghter. Afterwards I went to ensure iMessages was still signed in (Paranoia perhaps lol). Then I went back in and re-enabled FaceTime. The information was inserted back in, but Caller ID for Facetime was unchecked, so I selected my email address instead of phone. And both have oddly been working fine and stayed signed in since. No password requests at all.
I have zero clue why this works, but it does. I only figured it out thanks to obcessive behavoir and inablilty to accept it was broken lol. Anyone else with the issue want to confirm if it works for them as well? -

Cannot sign in to iMessage on Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9
Everytime I try to sign in to iMessage I get this message. My Apple ID and password are both correct. I have used them to sign in the multiple apps on multiple devices today. I upgraded to Mavericks not too long ago and have not been able to sign in since. I had iChat before, which worked fine. iMessage works in my iPhone and iPad. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
In Applications/Utilities open the Keychain Access app.
Make the Login keychain the highlighted item top left.
And the Passwords the item bottom left.
On the right hand pane find anything that relates to iMessages.
Most likely you will have something that starts IDS: yourAppleID-Auth token
Restart the app.

Cannot sign in to iMessage/FaceTime
Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7, on my WiFi-only iPad Mini, when I tried to sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, I get this message:
"iMessage (FaceTime) Activation: could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
I've tried many ways to solve this issue, including:
- Rebooting my iPad
- Reset network connections
- Connecting via a different ISP.
- setting DNS server to 8.8.8,8.
- Setting Date/Time to "Set Automatically"
- Stuffing with airplane mode.
The only thing I've not tried is to do a backup, reset and erase all and restore. I don't want to go along that route because it is **** of a time-consuming thing to do and there's no guarantee that it'll work. I simply don't have the time to do that.
I've looked around the Net and Twitter and I know there's a lot of people having this issue too.
Can Apple fix this? It's already 10 days already and Apple has no comment, solution and fix to this problem?Hey Spartyfritz!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue:

I cannot sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.
My pad run out of battery, after recharge I was no more able to sign in with iMessage and FaceTime.
:go to settings on ipad, click on wifi, then on the right hand side just next to your wifi name there is a blue arrow, click on the blue arrow & look below, there will be a field called DNS, IN the DNS server field just copy and paste the following DNS servers, do not edit anything , just put as it is and also make sure they are no spaces at the start or at the end
208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
this should definitely work
