Using PC/WIN7 and installed software 2.1.1 but can't sign in even using the instructions given.  Says my ID isn't an Apple ID

I installed iClouds software 2.1.1 on my PC and verified my email address.  When I attempt to sign in I get an error message:  CANNOT SIGN UP  This Apple ID is valid but it is not an iCloud account.  What have I done wrong or where do I go to sign in and use the program?

You must setup a new account on a Mac or an iDevice, then you can sign in from a PC. You cannot create a new iCloud account using Windows.

  • I SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, AND i CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HELP

    I just bought my apple tv yesterday and SET UP THE HOME SHARING ON MY COMPUTER, I CAN STREAM MY PHOTOS AND SEE ALL THE VIDEOS AND LISTEN SONGS IN MY ITUNES, BUT CAN NOT DO HOME SHARING, ON THE TV, ALWAYS SHOWS "TURN ON HOME SHARING ON YOUR OMPUTER WITH YOUR ID WHICH I DID BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WHAT'S WRONG? WHAT SHALL I DO NOW?

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Just got an iPad and am connected to my internet but can't sign in into messages or FaceTime

    What do I do

    Also, if you are getting the "check network connection message" try these suggestions.
    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work, go to Settings> General> Reset> Reset all Settings. No data will be lost, but you will have to re-enter all of the device settings again.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    RIM is constantly changing, due to many many reasons (some of which are licensing), the compatible PIMs for the Desktop Software. I've no idea what prior version supported CardScan, but the current KB regarding compatibility is here:
    KB12268Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows for synchronization
    You can find some older versions of the Desktop Software in this archive:

  • Finding and installing software for samsung printer

    Hello.  I am a new mac user and still learning, beginning to get frustrated...I am trying to install software for my older but perfectly functioning Samsung printer, ML-1430.  I had the orginial software cd which would not work, was not supported I guess.  My printer is not listed when I search for the software.  I just updated the software on my macbook pro, so it is presently OS X 10.8.5.  If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I am really hoping I can use my printer, can't afford to buy a new one and it works so well.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    After searching around, it would seem that they do not supprt that device any longer. (This is not all that un common these dats unfortunatly).
    But you can try contacting Samsung here and see if they will offer any support:

    Many Thanks, Kurt.
    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

    Are you sure it's not 6.1.6?  If it is, that is the latest iOS version that will work on a 4th generation iPod Touch.  Later versions require a 5G iPod which has twice as much RAM.

  • Firefox drop down not allowing page redirect is preventing me from auto running and installing software

    When I try to install software, Firefox window opens with a drop down box stating Firefox is not allowing page to re-direct. I click on allow, and it goes back to original page. It is preventing me from auto run and installing software. I tried several times, and it just runs me in circles. When I click to allow page re-direct, I click auto run and it send me right back to Firefox page with same thing. Very frustrating.

    When do you get this redirect?

    I had all my software, including my ‘Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium’ removed from my MacPro (OSX 10.10.2) by a Computer technician after I had inadvertently installed some malware.
    Now I can’t reinstall my CS4 because the installer software wants me to identify the product from which I am upgrading, but mine isn’t on the list. The old product from which I am upgrading is called ‘Adobe Design Collection’. Furthermore, it has 4 serial numbers (one each for Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator), not just one, as the installer requires.
    I know this can be done, as I have had it working for a long time. Am I doing something wrong now?

    Contact support be web chat and have them generate a working temporary serial/ challenge code for the install.
