Unable to create webOS account to set up HP Touchpad

Alright, so I got my Touchpad Saturday, and tried to set it up the day after.  So in order to actually use it, you have to create a webOS account, but every time I try, I get the error "We are unable to create an account for you.  Please try again in a few minutes or contact HP for help resolving this problem.  Visit palm.com/support for more information."  I tried countless times, still getting the same error, even after starting the setup process over, restarting the touchpad and my router, trying different wireless connections, trying it at different times during the day, as well as changing the security question, password and email to see if that had an effect.  I have tried going to the site suggested and trying to chat online with them, as well as calling them, but they were busy, so I was hoping I could find an answer here.

I too am having the same problems and can't get the WebOS Doctor because I don't have the palm account. There has to be a way to download the doc without an account.

  • Can't create webOS account.

    I just bought TouchPad, startup it, chosen a wifi, and have appeared window with creating webOS account. I filled in all fields and pressing create, after appears warning message (We are unable to create an account for you. Please try in a few minutes or contact HP for help resolving this problem.)
    I do this more than 30 times along a day, but nothing changes.
    What happend?
    Can I create an account in some different place ?

    Are you sure it's connecting to your WiFi source?  Are you talking about a home network with your own router?  Try cycling power to the router, then attempt to create the account.
    You could also try rebooting the TouchPad - go to the "Device Info" app, then tap the "Reset Options" button and the "Restart" button after that.
    If still no joy, I'd follow the suggestion given you - call HP's webOS Butler service.. See this page for info:

  • 2008 Failover cluster unable to create computer account

    Hello,
    I have created a 2008 R2 Failover cluster and I am trying to add a Fail over File server to this.
    I get the dreaded
    Cluster network name resource 'OfMaClusterFS' failed to create its associated computer object in domain 'xxx.domain' for the following reason: Unable to create computer account.
    The text for the associated error code is: Access is denied.
    Please work with your domain administrator to ensure that:
    - The cluster identity 'OFMACLUSTER$' can create computer objects. By default all computer objects are created in the 'Computers' container; consult the domain administrator if this location has been changed.
    - The quota for computer objects has not been reached.
    - If there is an existing computer object, verify the Cluster Identity 'OFMACLUSTER$' has 'Full Control' permission to that computer object using the Active Directory Users and Computers tool.
    I have created clusters frequently in the past, on my own Domains that I am a domain admin of.  Now I am trying to make one on our larger corporate domain that I am not a domain admin of and get this error.
    By default, domain users can not add computer accounts to our domain.  I do however have an limited account that can add computers to the domain... but I have tried all the tricks I can think of to try and add the Network name to AD and no luck.#
    I have tried running the cluster service with this account, but it is still trying to use the OFMACLUSTER$ identity to create the Network name.  I have tried manually creating the network name using my limited account, but that doesn't work either,
    same error.  I don't have the ability to change permissions on the computer name I added for the network name to AD.
    I have raised a ticket to our wintel team to try and get them to help, but they aren't exactly the most responsive bunch.  I'm just wondering what the best way around this problem is if I am not a domain admin and I can't make the changes I need, or
    what concise instructions I can give to the domain admins so that they can help me out without saying that it is a security breach etc.
    I would appreciate any advice on this as it's now urgent and also something I will have to do in the future fairly regularly and don't want to get caught in the situation in the future.

    Hi jogdial,
    To create a cluster, the minimum permission is: Requires administrative permissions on the servers that will become cluster nodes. Also requires
    Create Computer objects and Read All Properties permissions in the container that is used for computer accounts in the domain.
    If you create the cluster name account (cluster name object) before creating the cluster—that is, prestage the account—you must give it the
    Create Computer objects and Read All Properties permissions in the container that is used for computer accounts in the domain. You must also disable the account, and give
    Full Control of it to the account that will be used by the administrator who installs the cluster.

  • Unable to create Contract account

    I am unable to create contract account. I am getting the error message as "Key selection not defined for application R company code List of budget billing proceuders(R301)"
    How to go further?

    Hi, Jack
    Did you go to the path I indicated? In there, for each company code, you need to maintain which budget billing procedures you allow.
    0 means no BB procedure.
    SAP says:
    "If you enter 1 (statistical procedure), budget billing requests are managed as statistical items in the Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) component and do not affect the general ledger.
    If you enter 2 (debit entry procedure), budget billing requests are posted as partial bills.
    If you enter 3 (payment plan procedure), the budget billing amount is requested as the new bill amount instead of the bill amount determined by billing and invoicing. The difference between the actual bill amount and the payment plan amount is managed in a special item. This procedure is used for monthly billing.
    If you enter 4 (payment scheme procedure), the bill amount is integrated into the budget billing plan. The bill can no longer be paid separately. The budget billing requests are posted as statistical items in the same way to the installment plan.
    If you enter 5 (down payment request plan), a special payment plan is created for industry customers. This plan is suitable for industry customers with monthly periods as the down payment plan for the month after next. To use this procedure, establish the settings in Customizing."
    After that, you need to maintain all the activities related to the BB procedures you want to use, in SAP Utilities / Invoicing / Budget Billing Plan. Check all activities and see what you need to customize.

  • Users unable to create Mobile Accounts

    Good afternoon.
    I have an interesting problem with the creation of Mobile Accounts.
    We have a Computer Group with its Preferences set to allow the creation of Mobile Accounts & Portable Home Directories; with due consideration given to what to synchronise and what not to. The iBooks & Mac Books in this group are all used by one staff member only. They are all running 10.4.7 and have 256 or 512 MB RAM.
    The first two laptops added to the list allowed their users to create Mobile Accounts & PHDs no problem, and they continue to work. But any other machines I add to the group refuse to allow the creation of a Mobile Account. It seems that Workgroup Manager does no pass on their changed Preferences during subsequent logons. I have tested this by renaming a laptop at its entry in the group and seeing if the name is changed on the machine at the next login. It is not, but stepping through the machine’s settings at the logon display does give me a green light for network availability.
    I can create a Mobile Account on a machine by logging on as a user and amending their account Preferences, but this does not provide the same degree of flexibility in configuring synchronisation settings.
    Has anyone else seen this problem please?

  • Unable to Create an account

    for 2 days I have been able to create an account for mybestbuy on bestbuy.com. I complete the form and get 'An error occurred When we try to create an account. Try again later.' I've tried on Chrome, Firefox and Safari. I'm using a valid email address (receive best buy ad emails there) and U.S. Zip. I already called tech support and they tried to create an account and got the same error and said it was probably a temporary site issue. I've tried for 2 straight days now and would like some help. Thanks.

    Greetings RNinFL, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
    I can imagine feeling frustrated if you have tried for two days straight to create a BestBuy.com and My Best Buy account without success.  I am not aware of any recent or ongoing website related issues, so I wonder if the information you are using is perhaps already associated with active accounts or maybe just does not fit the criteria.
    With that being said, please send me a private message with the below information and I will see if I can help create those accounts for you.  You can send a private message by clicking on the blue button in my signature labeled "Private Message."  Once I have had the opportunity to try creating the accounts, I will follow up with you.

  • Unable to create sub site after setting up site subscription in Sharepoint Foundation 2013

    Hi, All,
    I have set up sit subscription in to the sharepoint. I have a Site collection which is assign to specific tenant group. I have assign sevral custom features to the tenant group. What happening now is, when I am creating a sub site, it throws an error that
    specific feature(e.g CustomList feature) is not available. So I added that feature definition to tenant group. Again I tried to create sub site. Now it shows error that specific feature(this time it shows AnnouncementList feature) is not available. So I added
    that feature too. Now its showing me these kinds of error continuously.
    So what required is I need to add all the default features to my tenant group. Do you have idea how can I add those feature by single command instead of I add it to the tenant group one by one ?
    Thanks.
    Your help is appreciated.

    You can use Powershell to create a Feature Pack that will add multiple features to a tenant group.  Here's one for the default Foundation Features.

  • Fresh Install (10.9.1) Unable to create OD accounts after crash and reboot

    I have a real big issue and I was hoping if someone could help me out or point me in the right direction.
    I have installed a new Server (10.9.1) for a client and everything has been working fine for over a month now, DNS resolving, users being able to login etc, no issues at all.
    But today (last night) the server crashed and they rebooted it, and today when i try to add a user I get an error:
    existing connection is not authenticated: password change denied
    I OK it then Cancel the adding, but find the user being added (bizarre!)
    When I try to setup the user email on the server for testing, I get an error with password being wrong, and I can't change the user password, with reset password the drop down just stays there and I have to cancel it.
    As a note, all current users within the OD are working fine. And as a test I tried to change a password for a current user and getting the same issue above. They are not mobile accounts, the server is being used for Email, Cal, Card, VPN and AFP only.
    I have had this issue before when installing a fresh server and the way I fixed it was to delete the OD and start again, but this time I have many users with a lot of emails/data so I need to be able to fix it rather than starting again.
    I have checked the DNS, flushed it, rebooted to no avail. Also I have cheked and tried fixes that have been posed on this form but most are talking about migration erros, even so they don't seem to work.
    Has anyone else had this issue? and fixed?

  • 13 year old unable to create itunes account

    My daughter wants to create an iTunes account for herself instead of using my wifes.  She has been trying to do this for over an hour with her real DOB and no matter what she does she keeps getting an error message "You cannot create an apple id becasue you do not meet the minimum requirement".  She is almost 13 1/2 and we do not understand why she is getting blocked.  The TOS said she just has to be 13 to have an account.

    I was having the same trouble with my MobileMe sub-accounts (MobileMe Family Plan). I went through all the support emails and calls with no success. I fixed the problem by removing the affected sub-account/email address and then re-established the same sub-account/email address. When you re-establish the sub-account/email address it will tell you that you cannot since it already exists - but there is an option to re-establish the sub-account/email address by entering the correct password. After I did this, I could manage the sub-account/email address with no problems whether it was in iTunes or in the management of the AppleID settings.

  • Unable to create iTunes account - postcode required

    I have a new iPhone 3GS and I want to sign up to iTunes to get apps etc. However, during the sign up process it asks for my address including my postcode. I live in Ireland where we have no postcodes. I tried my usual tricks of putting random numbers, writing "none" etc but it continues to say my postcode is invalid. I have an appleID which I was able to sign up for without a postcode.
    Can anyone help?

    Good luck there, I've also had a bad experience getting an iTunes account, yet impossible on my end. I'll be going to the apple store tomorrow and try to straight it out because so far its ridiculous.
    1st. Im in Malmo, so I set Sweden as the country, it asks me for a card (if I never ever buy anything from them, they would simply store my credit card information?), I live and work here, I pay everything with the card that Im using, yet it tells me its not a valid card...
    2nd, Im originally from Costa Rica, so I figure I'd try one of my older cards. The card validates now, but it now says my postal code is not valid... I mean, first it says my card is no good, and second that I dont know where I live?
    Im subscribing, hopefully someone will be able to help out, and if I get any answer tomorrow I'll be sure to post back.
