I never get make work messages, facetime and iCloud with my Apple ID. why an how?
First all I'm sorry my English please.
I have a MacBook Pro 2009 with Mavericks updated.
I want to use Messages, iCloud, Facetime...but once I type my Apple Id (I use it without problems in appStore) Facetime and Messages stay for a long time trying to work but never connect so they don't work.
I really don't know what can I do to use these programs so could someone help me, please?
iCloud say : Account limit reached
Messages: don't say anything, just never complete once I press "Sign in" and keeps loading.
Facetime : Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.
I never have seen iCloud, Messages and Facetime even iChat work because always happen this problem.
Thanks..
Hummm,
The inclusion of "iChat never worked" as well as the current version does point to other problems
This may be whether your Mac Firewall is On and is allowing these apps and their supports apps (IMAgent in Lion Onwards and iChat agent in iChat 5/Snow Leopard and earlier.
It could also be your Router and any ports it needs opening and whether it too has a firewall that also needs the ports opening.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245 Lists the iOS devices port needs for FaceTime and Messages.
They would be no different on a Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507 Details the ports iChat 4 and earlier used.
These are reduced now. AIM logs in on port 443 (rather than 5190), port 5060 is not longer used.
A/V chats are on one port reducing the "group of 20" (16384-16403) to just 10 (16393-16402)
iChat would have been AIM, Jabber or in iChat 6 Yahoo as well and not iMessages
iMessages needs both port 443 than 5223 to Login (Jabber uses port 5223 as well and this maybe where your iChat attempts and the current ones cross over.

How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.
First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -
When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???
There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

I am trying to update apps on my iPad. We are using family sharing. My husband has the app on his iPad. When I try to download, i get the error message and it doesn't look like I have the app on my iPad. I had it on an older iPad and did cancel the service but now don't have it on this new iPad. Help.

Ipad 3 not working on FaceTime and messages
Well, only recently whenever I open messages on my ipad 3 it opens a small window that requires my apple ID, when I enter it it take me to a new window that says so thing along the lines of "would you like people to reach you on messages thought this email?" When I select yes it takes me back to the slide in which I enter my Apple ID password, the exact same thing happens with FaceTime. I'm not sure what to do and couldn't find the same question, ipad 3 btw. When I try access them in setting it has the same login view.
Thanks in advanceUsing FaceTime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319

How to Send SMS from iPad

Don't think is related to the problem, but you should update your iOS.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?
I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

iPad 2 gets activation errors in FaceTime and messages,plus Facebook app opens and then closes
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge. -

When I try to open iweb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Sites/NAVIGATOR/index.html.” How do I fix this? Using 10.6.3 soon to be 10.6.6 and then Lion. I have never opened the product before and have had it on the computer since new.
Go into your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and see if there's a file titled Domain.sites. If there is double click on it and see if iWeb opens.
If there is no Domain file there do the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

launch iWeb and try again.

if i reinstrall mac os (snow lepord) will i loose my files,or will a new partition be created?
some info,
i have no backup and my imac wont start , safe mode never gets past spinning loading icon and i left it all night yesterday,
when i used disk utility when booting from the install disk im told the "disk is damaged " but the repair utility wont run sand tells me to back up etc....
i cant make a new partition , and i cant make an image
please helpI fully agree with BDAqua.
Don't do anything with this Mac until you have an external disk which you can boot your Mac from.
Not all USB disks are easy to boot from - FireWire is better
When you have a suitable empty external disk I advise:
Put install DVD into damaged Mac
partitioning external disk into 2 volumes
install OS onto one volume of external disk
Don't import anything during install process - it may reintroduce historic problems
Boot external disk
Use finder to copy critical data from Mac to volume of external disk with OS
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole Mac hard disk to the other external volume
Boot into installer DVD and erase Mac's internal disk
Partition internal disk into 2 volumes and install OSs as required -
