  • ICloud Control Panel: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."

    iCloud Control Panel:
    Installation of icloud control panel was successfull. After entering the correct Apple-ID and pw this error message appears: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."
    Firewall is deactivated.
    It worked once after the command: "netsh winsock reset" in cmd.
    Since then the issue reoccures so it's impossible for me to use things like Photo Stream.
    So what might be the reason for this connection problem?
    Thanks!

  • Setting up new Macbook and on Apple ID entry I get "Couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again."

    Any suggestions on how to continue? ID and Password are defienetly correct.

    I'm also experiencing the same problem. I just upgraded the OS to X on my Mac Mini, and there seems to be a problem connecting to the internet. Connected fine to my Time Capsule/Router, and the Router is seeing the internet according to my MacBook Pro on the same network (this post is evidence that I'm seeing the internet!). But when I connect to the router, I get the error message:
    "Your Mac isn't connected to the internet." Try Again or Continue.
    If I select Continue, when I try to sign into my iTunes account it gives me the server error message, which is presumably because it's not seeing the internet. Have tried it several times and confirmed the password is correct. Also, I can see and share screens with the Mac Mini from my MacBook Pro, so clearly the connection to the router is working as well.
    Help?

  • Stuck at initial set up with the unfamous "couldn't sign in because of a server error"

    What's next after hitting this dead road while setting up a new machine? I don't want to skip this step and set up another account for my laptop when I already have a WORKING Apple ID that I use constantly and is proven that I am able to log in and see my stuff NOW. Thank you for your help...

  • Updated My ipod touch 4th gen to IOS 6.1. Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error"

    Now everytime I try to finish the update process I get a message " Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error. I already have an apple ID I am just trying to finish the update so I can use my ipod touch and can not figure out why I keep getting held back at this message

    So I found out with alittle research that instead of entering all that info on my ipod, security questions, birthday, ect that it was much easier to just go to http://appleid.apple.com and place all that info there and save it than try the process on my ipod and it finished the update.

  • Can't Delete Email - "The Folder Couldn't Be Deleted Because Of A Server Error"

    Hey!
    So I have a big inbox. I thought I had about 120 000 emails and I just want to bin them all. Because of the sheer volume I am having a lot of trouble. From the web site I selected all of the emails and dragged them to the trash. At first it didn't seem to work but now the emails seem to be moving to the trash and multiplying. My trash folder now has over half a million emails and my inbox still has the same number of emails as it did before.
    When I try to empy the trash I get a message saying "Folder Couldn't Be Emptied: The folder couldn't be emptied because a server error occured" My icloud account is suspended now because I've exceded the limit.
    This is getting rediculous. Never had this problem with Gmail.
    Joel

    Did you ever try to delete 120000 e-mails in Gmail?
    All of your folders are in the cloud. When you move all those messages to the trash, it actually copies them to the cloud.
    Probably the best thing to do is create a new account on your Mac and setup your e-mail on it. It may take some time for it to download all of the e-mail messages. When it settles down, empty your trash. Then, select large groups of messages, right click on them, and choose "Move to" > Trash > On My Mac. Then empty the trash. Repeat.
    You may need to contact Apple to get your e-mail running again if you can't get that far.

  • 'Could not Sign In' Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error.

    I recently attempted to restore my iPod and cannot get any further than the security question and terms to agree to.  My email address is [email protected]   Please help!

    I just spent a week with an applecare T2 trying to figure this out, but we finally did!
    It turns out that (at least in my case) I had to go to http://appleid.apple.com and re-enter my password security questions and birthday. Once I did this and tried to restore, everything worked as expected.
    I should explain that, in my case, as soon as I entered my apple ID and password after choosing to restore from icloud, it would ask for my birthday and to fill out one security question. Once I did the security stuff, it no longer asked for these on the phone.
    I hope this solves your problem like it did mine!

  • New Macbook Pro 13 - "Couldn't sign in because of server error"

    I just fired up my new Macbook Pro 13 (late 2013).  I am trying to sign in with my Apple ID and I get a message "Couldn't sign in because of a server error.  Try signing in again."
    After trying to sign in again and again and again and again and again and again, I decided that perhaps I can get some help from the support community - because trying to sign in again doesn't seem to be working.  I have another Mac that logs in without a problem.  I am using a Windows machine to post this discussion without trouble. 
    I hope this is not an ominous start.
    Anyone know how this problem can be corrected? 

    Apple>About This Mac>More Info>Service

  • When I try to privately share a calendar, I get couldn't share because of a server error

    When I try to privately share a calendar, I enter the e-mail address and then I get an error message of:
    Couldn't share "<calendar name>".
    Your changes to this calendar couldn't be saved
    because of a server error. Please try again.
    If I enter a different e-mail address, it works fine. It only fails on one particular e-mail address.

    THE problem is that when you give an e-mail address to share the calendar to, it MUST BE an e-mail address that is a valid Apple ID.
    I had to create an Apple ID for the e-mail I was trying to share with and THEN and ONLY THEN do things work.
    Silly error message.

    Log into the app store using the Apple ID you used to set your computer up. Look under purchases. If it is not there you may need to accept it or to unhide it

  • Macbook Air 2013 model stopped connecting to the wireless network

    My 2013 MacBook Air has suddenly stopped connecting to my network. It is often intermittent and will kick me off the network if anyone else is connected. I think it is something to do with my Linksys router and the new Apple Airport card.
    Do I need to get a new router and if so do I need the Apple Wireless router?

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can I use my Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with plugging charger even at 100 % battery full charge?

    I can't decide whether using My Macbook Air 13" mid 2013 with charging power adapter connected even though it is fully charged Or using Macbook Air with unplugging charger after fully charged. Please advice me to maintain my Macbook's battery at good condition.

    It will not hurt it as long as you do not leave it on the charger for an extensive period of time (say, days).
