Not signing in

my skype wont sign in at all, the app wont even open anymore. there is a grey skype box in the top bar but its all greyed out.
nothing is loading.

Ok, this was driving me crazy all day, but I have found a hack-solution!
I just unplugged the network cable from my laptop, turned on airport wifi and connected to the secondary wifi internet I have here, reopened the application, and it logged in straight away! Then I just quit the application, turned off wifi, plugged the network cable back in, and opened up FaceTime, and it worked! Silly hey!??!?!
Seems like there is something silly going on with the network cable and maybe a firewall setting or something.
If you don't have a wifi nearby, then I am sorry, I don't know what to do for you...
I would like to share a solution that doesn't work! I changed my Apple ID thinking that my username and password were wrong, as they were very old and weren't even emails, it was a name like "firstname lastname" with a space in between! And the password was just a few letters and numbers, now they have to have a capital letter etc. So, updating your ID didn't fix anything for me. It seems to be the internet connection. I even made a whole new Apple ID and that didn't login with the regular connection.

  • Why can i not sign in to my apple tv even though i know apple id and password

    i want to sign in to my apple tv and i cannot why

    Responses can only be as helpful as the details given.  A single vauge sentense does not provide much to go on.  What are you signing into?  The WiFi setup, home sharing, photo stream, Netflix, they all use a differnt Id and only a few of them are the Apple ID. You do not sign in to anything to get into the AppleTV.  It is open by default.  You only have to provide a sign in for the services you want AppleTV to connect to.

  • Why can I not sign in to icloud on my pc?

    I can not sign into icloud on my pc I have vista sp2 system  I can sign in if I log in as a visitor. The little wheel just keeps spinning

    Because your contacts aren't actually "stored" on your computer. They are stored on the iCloud server and your computer subscribes to them whilst logged in.
    Why do you need to log out of iCloud anyway? You need to remain logged in to use any of it.

  • Problem with Maverics: Can not sign in to App Store, Mac slow, Aperture not working

    I was using a Mac Book Pro 15" supplied with Snow Leopard. I have created an ID and used it to purchase apps such as Aperture. After buying an iPhone 5S, I wanted to share the contacts and was suggested by the seller to upgarde the Snow Leoprad to Maverics and use the iCloud. After installing the Maverics following happened:
    - I can use iCloud and share the contacts, mission completed
    - the Mac is running slow, really slow (as an old pc)
    - Aperture can not be used, a major problem since all of my photos are stroed on an external disk via Apeture
    - I can not sign in to App Sore to refresh my purchases and see if there is an update for Aperture
    - I tried to sign in by clicking the forgot password and entering my ID (e-mail address) but have received no mail - total mistery
    - I also see that the HP 7610 printer icon is not active and assume that will also be a problem
    What should I do? I need a fast running computer. I need Aperture, all of my private and business photos are accessible only via Aperture. I can sign in with the same ID/password on an iPad. The problem is obviously due to installing the Maverics. I do not have a time machine/capsule.
    Urgently need support, please help.

    Just for the record, you should enter your Apple ID ([email protected]) and password...
    Provided you did that and it doesn't work:
    You're using an account with parental control active?
    Do other logins with your Apple ID work? E.g. icloud.com, iTunes, ...?
    Correction: I did correctly enter my Apple ID and its password. And there are no parental controls.
    But I found a fix: I went to the Featured page and it showed me as logged in. I clicked the Account link and in the pop-up for that entered my Apple ID and Password. Now I can once again see my Purchases.
    It would seem to have been some undue delay or glitch at the Apple server end.

  • Could Not Sign In to App Store from iPad

    I am unable to sign into the App Store from both my iPad Air and my iPhone 4.
    When I enter the password, the following error message appears:
    Could Not Sign In
    FATAL::Unable to process your request. Please try again.
    I have reset the password via the Apple web site and can sign in to the web site with no issues. (evidnced by ability to post this).
    I have reset the iPad and no change.
    Get same error in iTunes Store.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Tim

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

  • Since last software update, pre-paid internet does not work anymore. Get "you have not signed up for a data plan" message. Pre-paid acct is in order! What's up???

    I have had  an iPad 3G for more than a year now. I did not get it with a SIM card, since I expected to use almost completely at home, where we have wireless internet. Eventually, I decided  it would be handy to be able to take it on the road, and signed up for pre-paid Internet with KPN (national Dutch telecommunications company). That worked fine, until the last big iPad software update. Since then, whenever I try to make a connection outside the house, I get the following message…
    Mobile Data Account
    You have not signed up for a data plan.
    Would you like to set up a new account?
    If you don’t, you can do it later in Settings.
    …with the options of ‘Later’ or ‘Now’ to press. If I press Now, I get a screen “Please wait while the page is loading – this should only take a few seconds to complete.” But it never does, the ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning….
    To my mind, with pre-paid internet I should not HAVE to set up a Mobile Data Account in the first place. I’ve checked with KPN, and my account is completely in order. I’ve checked with the local Apple store, and the geniuses say they’ve never seen this. Can anyone help me?

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • I am receiving the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' problem on Adobe Muse CC 2014 and I cannot access the xml file that is supposed to fix this issue?

    I am a PC user and I have Adobe Creative Cloud Muse 2014. I have received the 'Could not sign you in [Access denied: 530]. Check your user name and password' error when trying to upload my muse site to my ftp host, GoDaddy. I have successfully done this in the past and only recently it has stopped working. I looked online at the FAQ Adobe Muse Help | Uploading an Adobe Muse Site to a third-party hosting service and it said to download the ftpprefs.xml file but this file simply leads to a blank page that says /*Not found*//*Not found*/.
    Can someone direct me to a working page with this file or provide a different solution? Thank you!

    Hello,
    As you are getting error [Access denied: 530] it means issue is with access. Either the username and password you are entering is incorrect or you do not have proper permissions.
    I would suggest you to contact Godaddy to either reset password or reset the permissions.
    Regards
    Vivek

  • I try to purchase pages (after upgrading to maverick) and get this message: Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.

    I try to purchase Pages (after upgrading to Maverick OS) and keep getting this message:
    Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.
    How to I get past this?  I cannot find anything referencing preflight file.  Who can identify this?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL. Log out, log back in, and test.
