Why can't I login into my Apple ID from the settings menu on iPhone 4s?

So I was texting my friend as I was plugging in my phone to charge. When I plugged it in, a sign showed up telling me to enter my Apple ID. I ignored it and pressed cancel. That is when my problem started. Now when I try to turn on iMessage it doesn't work. I press settings >messages>iMessage. I turn it on but it keeps saying waiting for activation. I select "use your Apple ID for iMessage. It takes me to the screen to login in. I. Put in my information but then it keeps saying error. Something with my connection and then it says to try again. I turn off my wifi and turn it back on. I go back and repeat the steps but it still says that error. Please help!

Why can't I login into my Apple account without being forced to change my password.

I received an email from Apple:
"The following changes to your Apple ID (xxxxxxxxxxxx) were made on 01 January 2015 at 17:52:54 (GMT):
Shipping and/or billing address.
When I log on to check my Shipping and Billing address I am prompted to change my password, which I do NOT want to do.
I cannot go any further than the forced password change screen.
How do I check my account details without changing my password?
I am not happy with being forced to change my password. it almost makes me wonder if I have been redirected to a 'scam' site.

How are you trying to log into your account ? You can log into an account :
- via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes
- tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device
All three let you view and/or change your billing address, though only the last you let you view payment details. You could try one of the other methods and see if they let you login without requesting a password change.
This page lists the current requirements for passwords : Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to check your account's purchase history then you can do so via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com

First question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
If it is an email address then:
Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

Hey indianadave,
Are you're apps working from the front panel of the printer? You will want to make sure that you have internet connection to your printer. If you don't, you can follow these steps:
1. Find your printer's IP address.
2. Enter the IP address in the address bar of your internet browser.
3. Click the network tab.
4. Click IPv4 under the wireless/wired menu on the left hand side of the printer screen.
5. Set Manual settings.
6. Set a Manual preferred DNS of 8.8.8.8 and alternate DNS of 8.8.4.4.
7. Click apply and try downloading the forms again.

Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
Here is one way

Here is another

Here is yet another
If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

Why can't I walk into an Apple store and buy OS software?

I tried buying OS X in both of Palo Alto's Apple stores today and nobody could sell me a copy of anything. Leopard is "discontinued" (wait for 2 weeks for it to come through snail mail) and Lion does not exist on DVD for sale... only on new machines or as a download, which means you have to have OS software in the first place. This is nuts.

Depends what OS you want and it depend upon the machine you have what you can or cannot run on it.
If you have a Intel processor machine, the best and most stable is Snow Leopard 10.6.
Leopard 10.5 if you have a PowerPC Mac, G4 or G5
Lion 10.7 the latest OS, was just released and has quite a few issues and lots of new strangness, it can be downloaded and installed for $29 online if you have Snow Leopard installed first and updated to 10.6.8. Then Rosetta programs won't work and you need a 64bit Intel processor, not 32 bit.
To find out, download the free MacTracker and see what machine you have and what OS it can handle.

You can also buy disks online at Amazon, make copies

Make Lion boot disks yourself from the MacAppStore installer package.

Why can't I just drag and drop photos from iPhoto on to my iPhone?

This has been something on my mind for a long time. For some reason I can't just drag and drop certain photos from my computer on to my iPhone. Why? There both Apple products. Shouldn't it be easier? For some reason I have to go through iTunes to select which albums I would like to import, but I'm working with raw files. My computer has over 250 gb of storage space. My iPhone has 16 gb. One of my even folders is 14 gbs. That would take up all the space on my phone. Is there a way to get around this? Why do I have to go through iTunes to put files on my iPhone?

Only Apple can answer that question, so you'll need to ask them.
But will your phone work with Raw files? If you're syncing from iPhoto via iTunes then that's not the raw file that's going over, it's the Jpeg preview from iPhoto.
As for the space issue, make an album of the photos you want to sync.

How do i sign into my apple ID from the Apple homepage?
