I'm having trouble signing in to iMessage, but I'm using the correct password. What should I do?

I can sign in to iTunes, etc., but my password isn't working with iMessage on my iPad. Any suggestion?

  • I can't sign into my iMessage I am putting in the right password and everything but it says thee was an error try again.....???? Can anyone help me.......

    I can't sign into my iMessage I am putting in the right password and email address but very time I want to sign in it says
    " iMessage Activation
    An error occurred  Try Again"
    This is really frustrating and I need it fixed if you can help me please tell me!!!!
    Thanks

    Here is a solution that worked for me, after nothing else would. Log out and back in to iTunes on your Mac/PC.
    I had exactly the same problems as above, and no amount of network changes or even a full restore would help.
    Finally, I went back to my PC, launched iTunes, logged OUT of that, then signed in again, this time with the new password.
    Then I had to go back, and properly close Facetime and iMessages and sign in. It worked fine after that.
    (To properly close an application, double click the home button, then hold down on the facetime app logo in the multitasking bar at the bottom, then press the tiny symbol.)
    Best of luck.

  • I am having trouble signing in to the App Store

    I am having trouble signing into the App Store to purchase an app for the Mac (Facetime for Mac). I have an Apple ID that works perfect with iTunes, additionally I used the same Apple ID to login to this support forum, again, no problems. However when I attempt to use it for the App Store, I get a message that reads, your password is invalid, it must have upper case, and lower case, and numbers etc. I am a single user, one person with one Apple ID on one iMac. Thank you for your time and help.

    Thank you. My Apple ID does NOT contain an upper case letter, and yet it works fine when signing into iTunes, and this help forum. But again, the App Store wants a PW with an upper, lower case and number. Perhaps I will have to make that minor change. Thank you again.

    Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
    Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
    a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
    "Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.

    I am having trouble signing into my adobe account on my tablet.  When I sign in it says failed to authorize device when I sign in and I have used my adobe account on this tablet in the past.

    I have tried that several times as well. All that I get is a white screen that says "hello" and tells me "Update Completed Your iPhone was updated successfully. There are just a few more steps to follow, and then you're done!" so i click "continue"  it asks for my iCloud password, I put it in and it goes black gives me white apple logo then takes me right back to where I started with the white "hello" screen displaying. Ive tried resetting my password multiple times and nothing is happening, I dont know what else to do.

    I create new apps pretty rarely. This might be second nature to those people who create thousands of apps. But I don't recall it being very difficult. Also, I am only setup for the Mac App Store right now.
    You just go into the Developer Certificate Utility via the link in the right hand sidebar.
    There, go into "App IDs" and just "Create App ID" to create the app with the name and bundle ID that you want. I don't see anything for editing or deleting an App ID. Just create a new one with the name and ID you want. If you really want to re-use the name for the dead ID, you would probably have to contact Apple. I think your question might fall into the "Program Benefits" category.
    Once you have an app name and bundle ID you are happy with, make your Xcode project match them. Then, in Xcode, use Product > Archive to validate and submit to the App Store.
