I cannot sign into iCloud on my iMac. I have read all of the help information, but that isn't working. I cannot do anything with my system preferences - like add a new printer - because it won't log me in, sign me out, forget password doesn't work, etc.

I have been unable to log in to iCloud on my iMac. None of the hints online have worked. I can't sign in (with any password), sign out, the forget password doesn't work, the support button doesn't work. It's locked. I can't find anyway to fix this - I need to add a new printer ASAP - help!!!

The "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window popped up a couple of weeks ago and is asking for my Apple ID password, which it will not accept, It won't sign me out (I am not logged in), the support or forgot password buttons won't work. With this window stuck open, I cannot access anything on system preferences. I can't find any way to make it go away. I have tried both my current and old Apple ID passwords, tried using FaceTime to login with the newer password, etc.

I have read all of the similar issues on this site and I still cannot connect my airport extreme (although there is no problem with my old airport express - help...

i have read all of the numerous and similar issues on this subject. and i still cannot connect my new airport extreme. my old airport express works fine still. help. and why are there so many issues with connecting this stuff? i thought this stuff was supposed to be getting easier, not harder... thanks.

Sorry, but I have no idea on what you have read and tried so far so please forgive me for any redundancy.
Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? Which exact model is it? If there are other routers being used, please provide their make(s) & model(s). Also the make & model of your Internet modem.
What is your goal with the Extreme? Is it to replace the "old" AirPort Express? Will you still be using the Express for any reason(s)?

I signed into icloud on my phone and then lost all my contacts. what should i do to get the contacts back?

I signed into icloud on my iphone 6 and somehow all my contacts are now gone in my address book.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the contacts. The message said if I signed out of icloud I'd lose
all photo streams and any data on the phone. Can someone help???
Thanks.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

HT1766 I cannot backup my iphone, it keeps telling me the backup is corrupt and not compatible. All forums have suggested I delete the last backup but that was months ago and I'm afraid if I do that and it still doesn't work, I won't have anything saved

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

I forgot the password on my ipad and i didnt sign into icloud or find my iphone and i connected my ipad to itunes but it doesnt let me restore my ipad as it does not connect to the apple software what should i do?

I forgot my password to my iPad and it said to connect to iTunes so I did. I went on Apple support to try and find a way to restore my iPad. The options given were to either sign into iCloud of Find my iPhone and restore it, but it wouldn't work because I didn't download the Find my iPhone app and I wasn't signed into iCloud. My other option was to connect to iTunes and restore it so I tried many times but it keeps saying that the apple software cannot be connected. I used Apple support once again to see if i can sort out the problem but nothing seems to work. Is there anything else that I can do to restore it??

Try this:
1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
2. Connect USB cable to computer
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Why am I getting this error trying to sign into icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server????

I am trying to sign into my mail and keep getting this error encountered an error while trying to connect to the server????

I'm having the same issue. Did you resolve it?

I can no longer log into my online banking website and have tried all of the suggested Firefox fixes apart from resetting Firefox, any other suggestions?

When I try to enter my customer number to log into my online banking website, an error message reads:
This form has been re-submitted. Re-enter your customer number and submit only once.
When I called the bank to find out if they could help they said it was a browser issue and suggested I should use IE or Chrome (No thanks!).
I have gone through all of the Firefox suggested troubleshooting fixes including deleting the cookie files. I have not yet tried resetting Firefox as I was hoping for a simpler solution before taking this step.
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Apple E-mailed me an alert saying that I had signed into icloud and Facebook. I have neither. Changed my pass word. Should I be any more worried? Any way to find how this happend?

Same as new discussion.

If you don't have an iCloud account and you are not a FaceBook user, you changed the password for your Apple ID?
Did you look at the email address behind the name shown as the sender of this email?
Are there any links included with this email and if so, for what?

I am unable to sign into icloud. When asked for my date of birth I receive a message that my dob does match Apple's records. I don't remember setting a different password for icloud.

Since I replaced my iPhone 4 with the 5s I have been unable to access icloud. When asked for my password I receive the message that it is not valid. wehn using the security questions the system does recognize my date of birth.

You can have the password reset sent to the email address associated with your ID, as explained in the second option here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787. If you don't have access to the email address, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

My iPhone 4 is stuck in recovery mode. I have tried all of the recommended actions but nothing has worked. The phone will also not turn on if not plugged into the charger. Help please! So frustrating

One day the phone just got stuck on ios6 screen then once unlocked it said plug into iTunes. Once I did the phone will not allow me to complete a restore. At the last stages the phone will cut off. I have asked a friend to have a look and he thinks it is stuck in recovery mode loop? I don't know what else to do. The phone is not under warranty and I bought it second hand before Christmas. Please give me any help or advice.

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store. There is no magic that can fix a hardware failure.

TS3999 Since upgrading to IOS 7, my calendar no longer syncs with Outlook Express 2010 on my PC. I believe we have iCloud 3.0 on our PC. I have tried all of the recommended remedies but the calendar from my iPad and iPhone has totally disappeared from Out

Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading their iPhone and iPad to iOS 7?

See Pierre-Yves 1 post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23297197#23297197
This was driving me crazy. Sync between Outlook 2007 and my iphone was working perfectly on ios 6 - I primarily sync Calendar, contacts, and notes.
Then everything went bizerk with ios 7... All of a sudden nothing was getting syncronized, but rather multiple Calendars and Contacts showed up in Outlook 2007. Disabling Calendar, contacts, and Notes in my iphone's icloud settings did the trick. Now I have ONE Calendar and ONE contact list in Outlook, fully in sync with my iphone.

Sign into icloud box won't go away

As soon as I power on my ipad mini, the sign into iCloud dialogue box pops up. I type in the password, but it pops up with the box again as if I didn't type anything in. I've tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously to restart it, to no avail. Box comes back once it reboots. I've tried to restore to factory settings from itunes, but the ipad wants me to turn off the "find my ipad" option in the settings. I can't do this either since the ipad won't let me connect to wifi/internet to verify the password for my apple ID.

Try resetting it (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and as soon as it restarts quickly turn on wifi in settings.

I have 3 PC's. Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months a year. So, if I have Icloud for my calendar, and turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all the old information on that computer to go Icloud?

I have 3 PC's. Two of them I use at 2 different locations and only use them 6 months each year. When I turn on a computer that has not been used for 6 months, does all of the old information from that computer end up in Icloud? Does Icloud push all the new calendar and contact items over the old items?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

TS1362 I have tried all of the above "fixes" and the cd that I just downloaded won't play properly. It says that the song is 3:33 long but only 1:40 of it plays before skipping to the next track

How do I fix a cd that did not download correctly. I have tried all of the above fixes, but the songs either stop halfway through, or won't play at all.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

I cannot sign into iCloud on my iMac. I have read all of the help information, but that isn't working. I cannot do anything with my system preferences - like add a new printer - because it won't log me in, sign me out, forget password doesn't work, etc.
