IMessage is asking for Apple ID. When I enter it. It says it can't complete transaction, iMessage is asking for Apple ID. When I enter it. It says it can't complete transaction

Recently I had to change Wifis in my home. My iPad found the wifi and is using it fine. But my ability to text or iMessage is getting a apple sign in message. When I sign in it gives me the message that the task can't be completed. Try again. But it never works. The face Time option has also disappeared from all the contacts pages. Help. Thanks

    imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

    1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID.  You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
    2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
    3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate.  Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME  and visa versa.
    4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

    Sign out of that Apple ID, then sign in with the correct one.
    Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.

    hi, i have problem with my apple id when i want purchase app even free one, asked me for complete my card informations... but i don't want to use debit card because already i have gift card and charge it in my id... please help me.
    when i unchek the card information it was show me an error!

    Though you are being asked for card details it doesn't necessarily mean that the card will be charged for the purchase (unless you want to gift content). Have you tried entering your card's details to confirm the account ? You should then be able to remove it.
    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5582 :
    When making purchases, content credits are used first, followed by Gift Certificate, iTunes Card, or Allowance Account credits; your credit card or PayPal account is then charged for any remaining balance
    Is it a new account ? If it is then unless a new account is created by following the instructions on this page (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then you will need to enter card details (debit cards are no longer accepted in all countries) before the account can be used to download any item from the store.

  • I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

    I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
    Thanks neil

    try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

  • HT2204 Why did it ask me to talk to iTunes Support to complete the transaction when I tried to sign in with an existing Apple ID? I already provided credit card info.

    I am frustrated. I have tried two different Apple IDs and put in my credit card information. Each time I could not go through to log in the iPad and it asked me to contact iTunes Support. Please let me know how to successfully log in the new iPad with xthe existing Apple ID.

  • HT201210 I have loaded IOS 6 but when it says I have just a few more steps to complete and asks me to sign in with my apple id, it says it cannot connect to server.   Now my ipad won't function at all and it is completely stuck even after turning it off a

    I was having trouble purchasing candy crush updates (for no apparent reason, as it has been fine previously).   I thought perhpas I needed to download some new software and promptly started the IOS 6 update.   It installed and then asked me to complete the final few steps by signing in with my apple id.   When I try to do that it says "it cannot connect to the server".   I have tried turing it off and on and over riding it, but it won't let me do anything at all now on my ipad mini.
    Can anyone help?   I literally can't function!!!!

    You can't override it no matter what you do. The device has to connect to the server to complete the iOS update. You could try rebooting the iPad and see if that lets you connect to the server after it starts up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that will not work, you can try connecting to iTunes on your computer and see if the activation will complete. Sometimes when thes activation issues arise, you end up having to restore the device again, but first things first. Reboot and see what happens.

  • IPhone is asking for an old Apple ID's password when updating apps.

    So here's a strange thing.  I have two Apple IDs.  As far as I can tell, everything is set-up to use only 1 of those IDs, and the other, I just don't even touch. But when purchasing or updating apps on my iPhone, it asks me for the password of teh Apple ID account that I don't use. I know you can't delete an Apple ID account (which I find VERY annoying!), so does anyone know how I can just completely migrate to the primary account so it stops asking me for my old password on the old account?
    Edit: This question is posted using my old account because I can't seem to log into discussions or communities with the new one.  What the heck?!

    My understanding thus far is that each App purchase is tied to only the xact Apple ID that was used to purchase it.  So supposedly if you change your Apple ID those Apps bought on the Old Apple ID are not transferable to a new Apple ID.  The reason for this would be that otherwise people could endlessly share their purchased Apps with other Users with different Apple ID's, who would not have to pay for the use of the Apps.
    Hope this helps

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT5624 hi ....my huspand gave me his ipod touch and i try to change his apple id to mine and when a want to actualize the app it keeps asking me for his password, cuase it shows his apple id. haw can i change it? ...or should i reset it all and lose all t

    what should i do? do i reset it completly and lose all the muisic and pictures?

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
