Why can I not sign in to icloud on my pc?

I can not sign into icloud on my pc I have vista sp2 system  I can sign in if I log in as a visitor. The little wheel just keeps spinning

Because your contacts aren't actually "stored" on your computer. They are stored on the iCloud server and your computer subscribes to them whilst logged in.
Why do you need to log out of iCloud anyway? You need to remain logged in to use any of it.

    "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into Imessage?

    Hi,
    You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
    Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
    If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences  folder again.
    This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist 
    This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
    Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
    It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
    Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
    This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
    This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
    The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences.  However there are exceptions.
    You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
    Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
    This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
    Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
    Chose the Get Info option.
    In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
    Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
    If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
    Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House  icon one)
    You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
    Can you confirm this ?

  • Why can I not sign in with IWEB?

    I have changed my password, but I can not login to Iweb. I can with Icloud and everything else but I can not publish in Iweb?

    When you sign up for iCloud you are automatically signed out of MobileMe.  All you need to do is go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and sign back in to MMe.  There's no need to sign out of iCloud.
    Don't forget that MMe will be discontinued on June 30, 2012 so be making plans to host your site on an alternative hosting server.

  • Why can I not sign in and download my new copy of photoshop elements 12

    Why can't I download my new program---first it asks for my adobe ID--which I give it and then it says not recognized--so I try and try and try again--changing the password--then it asks for a serial number and gives me 24 spaces--but the serial number has 30 spaces--why haven't adobe--as big as they are not got decent help.

    Version 13 is the current version.  Did you purchase version 12, and from where?

  • Why can i not sign in to my apple tv even though i know apple id and password

    i want to sign in to my apple tv and i cannot why

    Responses can only be as helpful as the details given.  A single vauge sentense does not provide much to go on.  What are you signing into?  The WiFi setup, home sharing, photo stream, Netflix, they all use a differnt Id and only a few of them are the Apple ID. You do not sign in to anything to get into the AppleTV.  It is open by default.  You only have to provide a sign in for the services you want AppleTV to connect to.

  • Why can I not see tracks on icloud on my iPhone5 running latest iOs?

    Hi I have 20608 tracks on my iCloud after running an update on iTunes match on my PC. I can only see 2019 on my phone even after turning match on and off several times. Anybody know what the issue is and how to solve it?
    Thanks Mike

    Hi MADMAKS,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like another Apple ID might be involved here.  This article has some more information on how to check on that:
    iTunes Store: Troubleshooting iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4054
    Some songs appear to be missing from iTunes Match
    Songs purchased from multiple Apple IDs
    Songs containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) may not appear, or may appear grayed out in iCloud. This can occur if your computer is not authorized for playback of that content. Try authorizing your computer, then manually update iTunes Match.
    To determine what Apple ID your computer needs to be authorized for, locate and select the song in your iTunes library.
    Choose File > Get Info.
    In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
    Click OK.
    Choose Store > Authorize this Computer.
    Type in the account name from the Summary field and its password. Click Authorize.
    Choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
    Check iCloud Status
    Check to see the iCloud status of your songs. Choose View > View Options and enable "iCloud Status". iCloud status will help you to determine whether or not a song was purchased from the iTunes Store, matched, uploaded, or ineligible for upload. Items may not be eligible for upload if:
    Your computer is not authorized for playback for that item.
    The music video was not purchased from the iTunes Store or was purchased using a different Apple ID.
    Notes:
    If a song contains DRM and is no longer available on the iTunes Store for purchase, the song is uploaded to iCloud and made available for download in protected DRM format. You will be required to authorize your computer or device for playback.
    A song will not be uploaded to iCloud if the song contains DRM, was purchased using a different Apple ID, and could not be matched.
    When you subscribe to or enable iTunes Match, your iOS device or computer will be associated to the Apple ID being used for iTunes Match. Learn more about associating a device or computer to an Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Why can't i sign in on icloud acct/ it keeps on telling me that the maximum free accounts have been activated on my iPhon

    whenever i try to log in to my icloud on my iphone is always says that the maximum free acct had been reached to this phone, i already have my apple id and it was validated eer since had my phone. even using it to download some apps but everytime i try to log in to icloud i keep on getting that error, already updated the phone as well but nothing seems to change with that error. pls help thanks!

    Signing in with a new ID creates a new iCloud account.  However, each device is limited in the number of iCloud accounts that it is allowed to create.  Once you reach that limit, you cannot create another account.  All you can do is re-use one of the accounts previously created, or create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.
