Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2) when trying to sign in to new playbook

I get the message "Sign in failed - Unknown server error (-2)" when I try to login to the Blackberry ID page of a new playbook during initial setup. This prevents me from continuing and using my device. A similar error message appears when I tap "Forgot password?" which is An unknown error has occured. Please try again (-2)
I have tried what others have done when they have unknown error (-6) which is turn off playbook and plug into desktop manager then update to reflash, but I continue to get the same error.
I know my BB ID username and password are correct because I can login to the web with them. Not sure what to do next.

Just to test the simple things first, did you try to sign in using another credential?
If only yours fails, then is a RIM issue, otherwise is indeed your Playbook failure.

Why do Iget an error message when trying to sign in my icloud? Can you also tell me how to combinned my icloud accounts?

If they were in your camera roll and on your phone when you last backed up, they would be included in your iCloud backup. If you restored the entire backup you should recover them.

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the pick a username screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists...." despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I get an error message when trying to sign into the support community with another Apple id. On the <pick a username> screen I get "an account utilizing this address already exists.Only one account per email address is allowed on the Apple Support Communities" despite trying a few usernames. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

This problem has been driving me demented. The instructions that Ivan gives have partially worked for me. By following his link
"How to find out if you have multiple Apple IDs" I was able to identify that yes I did have two apple accounts using the same e mail address. One was very old that I used to use for the forum boards and one is my much more recent ID that I use for everything these days. So I changed the e mail address for the old account which is associated with these discussion boards and that's the account that I am now posting this from. However even though the two accounts now have different e mail addresses when I try to log onto the boards with my more recent main apple ID I still get all the same errors as described at the start of this thread by rodgers_j. And of course that's the one I want to use so that I only have one itunes account for everything.
So if anyone has any more hints I'd be very grateful.

I am getting iTunes "error 5002" when trying to sign in on my computer, and cannot sign into my account on my iPod. What's wrong?

Hello!
When I try to sign in to my iTunes account on both my computer, an error pops up saying,
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occured (5002)
There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
When I trying signing into my account on my iPod, I get a message saying,
"Cannot connect to iTunes store"
I have seen across the internet that this has happened while trying to purchase things, but I can not even sign in!
I have also seen a case just like this, but many, many people were having that problem at the same time.
It seems like right now, only I am having this issue.
I can sign into my mother's iTunes account perfectly fine. ( I was using her account for a while, until I decided to switch to my own)
I have had an apple ID for a while now, but never have used it for iTunes.
I can sign into the "my apple id" website perfectly fine, just not iTunes on my iPod or computer!
I can not even sign into the appstore! (When trying to sign into the app store, it just says an unknown error occured, it doesn't say 5002)
What shall I do?

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Select
/var/log ▹ appstore.log
from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Error message when trying to sign in with iTunes: ConnectionManager::invoke::failed to find service connection url.

I recently signed out of itunes on my imac and when i tried to sign back in i get the error message: ConnectionManager::invoke::failed to find service connection url.

Error message when trying to sign into Messages

I just downloaded OS X Maverick for my MacBook Pro and along with this I got the Messages App. I tried to sign in with my apple ID but I keep getting this message, "An error occurred during activation. Try again." and I tried again but it didn't work. I have the date and time automatic, ect.. Anyone Know what to DO???

Hi,
You obviously have OS X 10.9.2 as the latest version arrives when you Upgrade.
What were you using before ?
If you were using an OS X prior to OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion's second update) then check the Serial Number is present.
Use the Apple (Icon) Menu top left.
Select About this Mac.
Click twice on the OS X version.
It will show you the Build Number and then the Serial Number (if it is present)
If it is not you will need to visit and Apple Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider to have it replaced.

I keep getting error message when trying to sign in for iMessage with my Apple ID since upgrading to iOS 7

I keep getting error messages when I try to activate iMessage on my iPad since installing iOS7. Anyone else having this issue or a solution. I can obviously sign in with the same Apple ID information/password as I have done here and I am connecting with Wifi now and in all other apps.

After looking at some other posts I signed into iTunes and edited my password with my Mac. Then I powered off and restarted my iPad and all is good now.

Error message when trying to sign on mac

I sent a digitally signed contract to a client for her electronic signature. I created the document on a PC and am able to sign it electronically (as a different user) on a PC. When she tries to sign it on a mac, she gets an error message. Since I have already signed the contract as the first signer, I can't remove the security, and I don't want to give her the owner password to edit the document. She has not been able to tell me which version of Acrobat she is using. Are there any solutions to this, other than having her find a PC to use? A screenshot of the error message is attached.
Thanks.
--Lindsey

We need to know which product (Acrobat/Reader) which version (including minor) and which OS version she is using.
It does not look to me that she is using Acrobat/Reader at all but rather the Mac OS PDF Viewer (Preview).

500 internal server error - OWA when trying to open options - Exchange 2010

Hello,
I have been in the process of setting up our new exchange 2010 server and have found the following issue. I can log into the secure OWA site without issue and can send and receive emails fine. When i attempt to select any "option" such
as set automatic replies or see all options I receive the following error message -
"500 internal server error there is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and cannot be displayed".
I have verified that all required exchange servicesare running.
I am running exchange 2010 sp3 on server 2012.
I think it may an issue within IIS but i'm not sure
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, there is a 500 internal server error when you select any Option in your OWA.
Based on my research, we can try the following steps:
1. Check whether Virtual Directories Authentication configured properly. Enable the ECP Virtual Directory with Anonymous and Basic Authentication.
2. Check on the Application Pools to view whether ECP Application Pool is running on .NET Framework v4.0. It maybe the incompletely installation of Framework that causes this error.
If so, We can try to run the following command as Administrator:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Or change the MSExchangeECPAppPool from .NET Framework from v4.0 to v2.0. Then restart IIS.
If you have any question, please do not hesitate to tell me.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Winnie Liang
