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?

    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.

  • Setting up new imac on network using dhcp nut not getting a valid ip address. Same happens when I try to connect via wi-fi. IP address being assigned is 10.45.190.195

    Have new Imac that I'm setting up. Company is using DHCP to manage IP addresses. Mac is plugged into netgear hub along with a PC. Mac is getting an invalid IP address of 10.45.190.195. PC is working fine. I've powered the hub on and off. I've renewed th DHCP lease on the Mac many times but IP address always comes back as 10.45.190.195. I've plugged the network cable directly in the network port bypassing the hub. Same result.
    Having the same issue when trying to connect via Wi-Fi,
    Anyone experiencing this issue?

    I see what you are saying. When I lived in the dorms, I was set up in bridge mode because we had that type of modem. My question now is do I distribute a range of static IP's or share a public? Either of these settings give me errors where the starting and ending DHCP addresses conflict. I use 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.100 and this error no longer seems to persist, but then I am not able to connect to the internet and the amber light keeps flashing- along with my computer showing that I am still connected to the TM.
    Thank you for your support so far.
