Upgraded ios 5 and can't log in with apple ID to set up.

HELP

After downloading ios 5 & everything was restored on my iphone 4, I needed to complete a few steps to have regular access to the phone; steps such as enabling service locations, joining a wi-fi network and signing in with my apple ID. However I know I'm using the correct ID & password but it won't sign in and I usually wait until connection times out.
I'm kinda stuck here.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 6.0.1 - iMessage - Can't log in with Apple ID.

    Has anyone found a solution to logging into iMessage on the iPhone when you've never logged in before? It keeps saying my password is wrong (I know I am typing it 100% correct along with the email address)
    I've been searching through the forums and can't seem to find a decent answer to this question. Some point to the servers being down (they're not right now), other tell you to sign out but I can't sign out because I'm not signed into iMessage with my Apple ID - just the phone number.
    I am also logged into iMessage with my Apple ID on OS X and on my iPad so I know my password is working.
    I'll be fine if someone can tell me this is a known bug! I'd just like to know for sure!

    Thanks for the tip. However it did not work. The only thing that I hadn't tried out of that list was turning imessage off and back on. When it prompted for my password it said it was wrong, then turned on anyway. Still I can't add my apple id. Same as before.

  • Stuck at startup and can't log in with valid password

    Hi,
    I have a MBP late 2011 and can't get past the startup screen with my valid password. After inputting my password the screen flashes and prompts me to input my password again (the password bar does not shake). If I go into safe mode, the same thing occurs. Note that I have no guest account either. I've tried PRAM reset and repaired disk via Disk Utlilty. I've also tried /sbin/fsck -fy. I have no installation CD either. Is there any other options I could try?
    Before this happened, I tried to plug in my HDMI to my external monitor but got a random grey screen I couldn't avoid. After many hard resets I'm faced with this problem.
    Thanks

    The lack of a backup history makes this problem very hard to solve.
    Erase and install OS X. This operation will destroy all data on the startup volume, so you had be better be sure of the backups. If you upgraded from an older version of OS X, you'll need the Apple ID and password that you used.
    When you restart, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process in Setup Assistant. That’s when you transfer the data from a backup.
    Select only users and Computer & Network Settings in the Setup Assistant dialog—not Applications or Other files and folders. Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled.
    After that, run Software Update.
    If the problem is resolved after the clean installation, reinstall third-party software selectively. I can only suggest general guidelines. Self-contained applications that install into the Applications folder by drag-and-drop or download from the App Store are usually safe. Anything that comes packaged as an installer or that prompts for an administrator password is suspect, and you must test thoroughly after reinstalling each such item to make sure you haven't restored the problem.
    I strongly recommend that you never reinstall commercial "security" products or "utilities," nor any software that changes the user interface or the behavior of built-in applications such as Safari. If you do that, the problem is likely to recur.
    Before installing any software, ask yourself the question: "Am I sure I know how to uninstall this without having to wipe the volume again?" If the answer is "no," stop.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it.

  • Can't log in with apple Id on imessage it's says no Internet connect try again...but Internet is in tact!!!!

    When I tried to log in to iMessage it continually gives me a no Internet connection/ try again. All the while my Internet is running properly, same thing is happening with my FaceTime. If you can help..I appreciate it ahead of time :)

    Settings/General/Reset   Reset Network Settings. Switch off.  Wait a couple of minutes then switch on and reconnect to your network in Setting/Wifi.
    Or.  In Settings/Wifi  Click tap on the blue arrow of your connected network.  Hit Forget this Network. Switch off. Wait a couple of minutes for the Server to disconnct at the ISP.  Switch back on then in settings/wifi  Log in again to your Network as per the first time you connected.
    iMessage and Facetime both append routing table entries.  These are sometimes lost during updates. Restting Network and rechecking your imessage and facetime should solve the majority of problems being asked here.

  • Can't log in with apple ID - but....

    Strangely, I log in using the email that we registered with.
    But then it asks me for another password for another apple ID? (The second password it asks for has an email that doesn't exist? i.e. The email we registered with ends with .co.uk but the second one ends in .com, which we have never registered!
    I tried going into settings to see if i could delete the email but it doesn't come up?
    Any help appreciated.

  • Can't log in with apple id

    I just purchased a mac mini. I can't download the updates for iTunes or iMovie.  I'm prompted to use my Apple ID to log in.  The agree button is grayed out on the terms page.  I clicked on "I've read the terms and conditions" so I don't know what the problem could be.  I cannot download anything else at this time which is quite frustrating.  Suggestions?

  • Since upgrade ios  and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad

    Since upgrade ios and iTunes can't access homeshare on ipad. I see 'share', when using music app on iPad. I click on it and then select my MacBook Pro. Circle starts goes half way the stops. My Apple TV works great. So iTunes on MacBook must be set up right.  Videos app is similar, the circle just spins and spins. My wifi is an apple airport. I beginning to think I have invested badly. I have signed out and in  again of home share on iPad and MacBook  as advised. I have read and re-read. Is there a solution?

    Hello Gary,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Home Sharing.  It sounds like you are not able to access iTunes from your iPad using Home Sharing.  I found an article with steps that I think would help with this issue.
    I recommend reviewing the full article below, but I think steps 4-7 are specifically useful for what you described:

    Hi Ishrak,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

  • I set up a new user on my network today and am now in a location without access to that network. I just set her up as a user on her macbook but I can't log in with her credentials. Is that because I am not on the network and it is the initial setup?

  • Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

    I'm getting the following error message when attempting to invoke "Find My Mac"
    Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.

    You have no recovery partition. This is a normal condition if your boot volume is a software RAID, or if you modified the partition table after running Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Otherwise, you need to reinstall OS X in order to add a recovery partition.
    If you don't have a current backup, you need to back up before you do anything else.
    You have several options for reinstalling.
    1. If you have access to a local, unencrypted Time Machine backup volume, and if that volume has a backup of a Mac (not necessarily this one) that was running the same major version of OS X and did have a Recovery partition, then you can boot from the Time Machine volume into Recovery by holding down the option key at the startup chime. Encrypted Time Machine volumes are not bootable, nor are network backups.
    2. If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or later preinstalled, or if it's one of the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery, you may be able to netboot from an Apple server by holding down the key combination option-R  at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
     Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication. 
    3. Use Recovery Disk Assistant (RDA) on another Mac running the same major version of OS X as yours to create a bootable USB device. Boot your Mac from the device by holding down the option key at startup.Warning: All existing data on the USB device will be erased when you use RDA.
    Once you've booted into Recovery, the OS X Utilities screen will appear. Follow the prompts to reinstall OS X. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    If none of the above choices is open to you, then you'll have to start over from an OS X 10.6.8 installation. There's no need to overwrite your existing boot volume; you can use an external drive. Install 10.6 from the DVD you originally used to upgrade, or that came with the machine. Run Software Update and install all available updates. Log into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy 10.7 or later, and download the installer. When you run it, be sure to choose the right drive to install on.

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.
