  • HT203808 Still can't sign in to iCloud

    Updated to iOS 7.  Followed the instructions to sign out of FaceTime and messenger and sign back in.  iCloud still asking for my old Apple ID., and telling me I have the wrong password or id when I try to delete the account or turn it off.  This *****!!!!

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID?  I may have a solution.
    When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in.  On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out). 
    Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code). 
    To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords".  These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not.  This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
    This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!).  Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled.  Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
    Hopefully this may solve yours

  • I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

    Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • I can't sign in my iCloud on Windows 8. It keeps saying there's a server error. Can anyone help me?

    Can't Sign into My iCloud on Windows 8 because of a server error.
    I've tried to off my firewall, but it is still the same.

    Hey Esther Siew,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into iCloud on your Windows computer. Are you attempting to sign into the iCloud control panel? If so, check out this resource:
    iCloud: iCloud Control Panel setup cannot be started - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203796
    “Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding.”
    or “Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server couldn't be reached.”
    1. Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting the settings you've chosen in iCloud Control Panel. If you are setting up iCloud for use with Outlook, check that there aren't any issues with Mail, Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders.
    2. Make sure your computer is online. In a browser, attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts, calendars and tasks cannot be added to Outlook. If you're using Windows 8, review the instructions for resolving network problems. If you're using Windows 7, review the instructions for troubleshooting internet connection issues.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • My Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud!

    My Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud! How do I fix this problem?

    Move your curring iPhoto app to the Trash (don't empty) and then try purchasing again. If you're still having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • HT4759 i can not sign in to icloud

    i just can not sign in to icloud

    I was having same issue here (using windows 7 64-bit). iCloud control panel used to work fine for me before this last update, but then it stopped letting me sign in. After entering apple id and password, just hangs with the spinning progress wheel forever..
    I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then reinstalling the control panel, but still did the same thing.  I also tried changing my iCloud password;  new password worked fine for signing onto icloud.com and from my iPhone 4S but still not from the control panel. The strange part was let it would let me log into it with my wife's apple id ??
    That got me experimenting some more and I realized that the control panel worked fine from a different user profile on my windows computer!  After experimenting and nosing around in my profiles 'AppData' folder, I managed to get it to work again:
    If you have iCloud control panel log in window open, close it
    Copy this path to your clipboard:  C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
    Goto start -> run
    Paste the path and hit enter
    From the folder that is opened, rename 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' out of the way (or you can delete it if want..)
    Restart iCloud control panel and try logging on again. MobileMeAccounts.plist is regenerated the next time you sign out from control panel.
    I'm guessing that somehow my (our) original MobileMeAccounts.plist has some sort of corruption in it, or maybe some log in attempt got hosed somehow and its preventing it from even trying?   Who knows...
    Hope it works out for you too!!   ~~Corey

  • I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but os not an iCloud account. How do I get to use iCloud?

    I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but is not valid for iCloud. How do I get to use iCloud?

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID.  You can only sign into an existing account on a PC.  You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • HT201317 can i sign into my icloud account from a friends computer so i can get to my pictures

    Can I sign into my icloud account from a friend's computer so i can get to my pictures?

    What you need is a file named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3).  Copy it from your laptop to your other computer at home.
    It's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  Place it in the same folder on the other computer. 
    All the files for the site are contained in that file/package.  After editing you will have to publish the changes to your hosting server.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    To open your domain file in Lion or later or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • How can i sign into my icloud account on my pc

    How can i sign into my icloud account on my pc?

    In the iCloud Control Panel, if you have an iCloud account just enter the ID and password and sign in.

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

  • Can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    can not sign in to Icloud  it keeps coming up the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad 1st generation

    Error Message: "Cannot sign in.  The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad/iphone"
    I encountered the same problem when I purchased a used iPad for my elderly father and couldn't set it up for him. I called Apple Support...
    Apple support could NOT help me. I was told there is no way to circumvent the 3 icloud setup limit on iOS devices at their end. I was told to use a different mac or iOS device that hadn't met the 3 x limit.
    So, using MY iPad I tried to do that. At first I went to Settings/iCloud. But that is your PRIMARY iCloud account    (and this was MY iPad and I didn't want to screw up my own settings!) which you don't want to trash.
    After some online research (iMore to be exact) I discovered you can setup a secondary iCloud account using:
    Settings/Mail,Contact,Calendars --> Add Acount... -->iCloud --> Get A Free AppleID --> Birthday Q then Security Question - then Name - then Get a free iCloud email address....
    After you get to the new iCloud settings page at the end of the signup process - I deselected all the tabs which made the new account "inactive" on my iPad.
    Next I went to the used iPad that had the initial problems, and tapped on Settings/iCloud. I signed in with the iCloud account that was newly created and was able to then get an iCloud account to work!
    I left the new iCloud account showing on my own iPad (under Mail,Contacts,Calendars) as it is inactive. I am not sure what would happen if I deleted it - it may stop working on my father's iPad then.
