  • This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "your Apple ID", Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.

    I am using Yosemite on (iMac 21.5 inch mid 2011).
    My question is:- Periodically when closing down Safari and only the application Safari i get the message:-
    This Mac can’t connect to iCloud because of a problem with “my Apple ID”, Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
    I don't understand this because there is no problem with "my Apple ID" and if there is what should I do when opening iCloud preferences to fix the problem.
    Would appreciate some positive answer to stop this message from appearing and to resolve this problem.
    Cheers Bruce.

    I do not use the Safari browser, and I also get this error message. I also have not updated to Yosemite.  I am able to log into iCloud using my Apple ID and password, so I know that there is no issue with my login credentials.  However, so far I have not been able to determine what is causing this message.

  • This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my email address Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"

    I keep getting this message over and over and over.
    This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
    Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
    I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
    My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
    I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?

    I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software. 

  • How Does one fix this-"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address"

    Hello Apple Community:  I receive this message multiple times a day. 
    "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address"  Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem. 
    After sighing into iCloud I can not find a problem.
    Is this a Yosemite issue, because thats when the issue started?
    Thanks for your help..

    Yes, this is a constant problem for me as well.  I have 2 Macs (iMac and old MacBook Pro) running Yosemite. I seem to only get this message on the iMac. I've tried logging out of ICloud on both and logging back in; the problem re-appears randomly.  I also have no issue on IOS devices.
    It's mainly annoying. I open the iCloud panel in System Preferences and it tends to go away.

  • Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

    You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
    Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • I have just downloaded OSX Mavericks and am having a lot of problems with my iCloud account. I get a message "this iMac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with (and then it quoted my e-mail address) Does anybody know what the problem could be??

    As mentioned above I have just downloaded OSX Maverick to my iMac. I am now having a lot of problems with iCloud. I get the message that "This iMac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with, and then it goes on to quote my e-mail address. It then says to open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
    I do this and no matter what I seem to do this message continues to return.
    Can anybody explain how to resolve this problem (please bear in mind that I am noy very computer literate).
    Many thanks

    Hello John

  • This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

    HELLO.
    The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
    "This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
    And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
    Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
    Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
    Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
    I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.
    Please: tell me what I have to do.
    John, The Netherlands.

    HELLO AGAIN.
    The problem with the popup-message "This Mac cannot ..." still exists.
    The anoying thing is that I cannot do anything with Mail ... the popup-message appears again and again.
    I've read all the advises and followed them ...
    Systempreferences / InternetAccounts: I cannot remove my iCloud-account (** [MESSAGE] **)
    Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot remove the "V" off Mail
    Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot log out (** [MESSAGE] **).
    My username (ending at @mac.com) is correct.
    My password (XXXXX) is correct.
    I can access iCloud.com (Mail, Addresses, ...).
    I can access this support-pages.
    My iPhone recieves and sends messages.
    The [** MESSAGE **] is (translated from Dutch): 'Your iCloud-account cannot be removed. Mail cannot remove <account>@icloud.com. Start Mail again en logout again at iCloud."
    Question. Makes it any difference that I use accountnames ending on "mac.com", "me.com" and/or "icloud.com"?
    Please ... tell me what I have to do!
    John, The Netherlands.

Right-click the iPod Photo Cache folder, select Move to Trash. Now sync and the "this iphone can not be synced.  The required file is missing" error should be fixed.

  • Trying to copy iPhoto Library to external hard drive for backup.  Error message:  The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" can't be read or written (Error code -36).

    Trying to copy iPhoto Library to external hard drive for backup.  Error message:  The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" can't be read or written (Error code -36).

    That code is

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • The error message says that iPad cannot connect to iTunes because of a passcode, but I dont have a passcode.

    Please Help Me!!! I am really stuck.
    So I recently got an iPad 2 and everything was fine until I tried plugging it into my computer (which I didnt do when I got it). I had a passcode on it and the error message said that it cannot connect because of the passcode, so I unlocked it and hit try again and same error message. I then disabled the passcode and it still wont connect. Ive tried turning the computer off and back on, also tried turning the iPad on and back on. NOTHING IS WORKING!!! It is really frustrating because I need it for my study and it wont connect through iTunes, and because of that it wont connect to the computer at all!!! Please help me here, my partner and I are usually really good with this kind of suff and we cant work this out.. It has never happened to us before.. Please Help!!!!!

    If you cannot access the iPad because of the passcode, you have no choice but to restore it using the same steps that you would use if you forgot the passcode.

  • Error message this video can not be played on iPad using you tube

    Why do I get this error message when using you tube and how can I solve it. It just started happening recently.

    There are a few possibilities I can think of.
    A) file names are too long. What is "too long" for an iPod? I don't know, you'd have to experiment, but some people with outrageously long file names were unable to sync the file over.
    B) Something in your conversion settings is incorrect. The iPod is pretty specific in what it will accept.
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
    --this seems unlikely if you've used the iPod defaults in each of the programs you've tried.
    C) Are you certain that you are asking iTunes to sync the iPod-compatible videos to the iPod and not the original videos? In other words, you've converted your videos, removed the originals from iTunes and imported the converted videos into iTunes to sync to your iPod. The original videos and the converted videos might have the same name.
    D) various strange problems happen when updating iPod firmware and/or iTunes. If you've done the 5 R's (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/), then you may need to consider downgrading the iPod software and/or iTunes. Remember that in the 5 R's, "Restore" deletes your content, so be sure to have a backup of your iPod content. I believe downgrading firmware will also require erasing your iPod, too.

  • Financial Reports error message Java API can't connect to olap

    Hi,
    On version 11.1.1.3, after reapplication of 11.1.1.3 because of other problems with shared services, get the following message on the diagnostics for the financial reporting server.
    Launch external checker with next command: E:\Hyperion\common\validation\9.5.0.0\launchEssbaseJavaAPI.bat EssbaseJAPIConnect admin ****** hypolap.msj.org http://hypapp2.msj.org:13080/aps/JAPI
    Error: Result: -1; Error message: Cannot connect to olap service. Cannot connect to Essbase Server. Error:Essbase Error(1051293): Login fails due to invalid login credentials
    Recommended Action: Make sure external checker is working.
    Financial reports over the Web can not connect to the essbase server. Financial reports through the studio works fine. Any suggestions how to troubleshoot or resolve the issue with the login credentials for the Java API to essbase?
    Anne

    Things to check -
    1) Does the user you specified in the connection have the role OLAP_USER
    2) Does the user you specified in the connection have access to an OLAP schema (analytic workspace or CWM2 ROLAP schema)
    3) Have you installed the correct JDBC files from your database instance into the BI Beans JDBC directory
