My Apple ID is not recognised by iCloud. ???

I am unable to connect to iCloud as it does not recognise my Apple ID as an iCloud ID. This affects my iTunes downloads!

You can't sign into iCloud using your Apple ID on a PC, you have to sign in with an existing iCloud ID.  You have to first create your iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac.  Then you can sign in with the ID on your PC.

  • 20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

    20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).
    Hello Apple! Anybody there? How long does your community have to wait for a solution?
    The same problem has been unsolved for months now. No statements from Apple either.
    I was told today to wait for 10.8.3. This might solve the issue. I can not belive my ears.
    My MacBookPro 4,1, Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GHz Processor and Graphics chip: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, will not talk to the exter. 20" Cinema Display ( Model Number A1081 ). The screen stays black. Resetting the PRAM did not help. I removed the 'com.apple.windowserver.plist' and the 'com.apple.windowserver.OE35739etc,etcxxxxxxxxxxx.plist', but that did not help either.
    Any other solutions, or do I have to downgrade or give up on Apple Computers alltogether after using them for over 25 years?

    I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro

    When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

  • My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

    Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

    Hi Mick2291,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

  • My apple tv is not recognising my apple id and password

    My apple tv is not recognising my apple id and password after this new update.
    Netflix is also don't let me play any movies.
    I already reset the equipment, network is ok because some features of of apple tv are working fine such as renting from Itunes, Radio, Podcasts.
    My apple computer is set for home share. Itunes is up to date with the last release.
    When I bought it was a easy set up and now is **** .
    I've tried everything beyond my knowledge to get this thing working,

    I'm using the latest itunes and a brand new 1080p Apple TV over a Linksys E4200 V2 network and having same issues. Just replaced my old apple TV with this new one yesterday.
    I got it to work for a little while yesterday by uninstalling Itunes the reinstalling but how many times do you have to do that?
    I can send pictures and video to Apple TV from my IPhone etc but not a chance with home sharing. Apple TV says turn home sharing on which it is.
    Already done a reset to Apple TV and still not working?
    Help!!

  • HT4759 My apple id is not a valid Icloud account

    I have tried several times to login into iCloud but it will not accept my apple ID

    You can not create an iCloud account using Windows, you must create it on a Mac or an IOS device, then you can sign into it from a Winbox.
    The Mac must have Lion (10.7.4) or more and the IOS device must be at least IOS 5.

  • When I try to access the answer is that mine is a valid Apple ID but not valid for iCloud also if I've obtained confirmation by mail of my account

  • HT4759 My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

    My "notes" made on phone disappear on charging phone using apple computer and not found on iCloud either...what setting do I need to adjust?

    You got it.
    Notes - if notes are created in icloud notes (you may have multiple notes accounts) - icloud notes and only icloud are synced over all your devices and icloud server, so if you want to see those on the server you can go and manage (edit) on www.icloud.com.
    Since notes synchronize by using same IMAP email server - turning them "ON" will prompt you to create mail address.
    To add to that you do not have 10.8 that has it's own notes app, so your notes go to Notes folder in your icloud/me/mac mail and synched by your mail server.

  • My apple tv will not recognise my apple id.

    Just sharing.    My apple tv did not recognise my apple id.    Sooooooo frustrating.    Thanks to this forum we finally fixed it.
    The zoning was in another country (our fault - long story).   The time zone was also wrong.    But it turns out the problem was the down loadable upgrade.
    When apple tells you to upgrade........ just do it.      We are always about to watch a movie and think to ourselves, yeah yeah, we'll do it later.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.
    If you are encountering difficulties with settings in your new hardware, you may wish to contact your ISP who should be fairly knowledgeable about settings for their device.

  • Apple TV does not recognise my Ethernet!

    Apple TV does not recognise my Ethernet!  I have tried two different ethernet pathways, my sky box is right beside the Apple TV box and it works perfectly on both Ethernet paths! I am therefore assuming that the problem is not the Ethernet. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I should know about?

    Hi, guys.
    I'm having the same issue myself. Over wi-fi everything is fine with the ATV, switch to ethernet, caos. I simply can't identify why that's happening. I have a 100mb optical fiber and all the other stuff are functional, Macbook, iPhone, all the gang. Sooooo, what's going on?
    See the image below, brazilian portuguese but i guess you guys can figure something is just not right.
    Help me out, fellas, please.
    Thanks, cheers!

  • HT204053 my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password what do i do?

    my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password, what can I do?

    Hi goskii77,
    If you are having issues setting up your new Apple TV with your Apple ID, you may want to double check that the info is current and correct by logging into "Manage my Apple ID" as outlined on this page:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
    If everything is confirmed as correct and working but your Apple TV still won't accept your Apple ID, you may want to try restoring it to factory settings:
