Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?

Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
thanks,

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 text with non Apple equipment?

Why can't I text with non Apple equipment?

You can with third party apps. You just can't use Messages in order to text since it only works with other iOS devices and Macs running Mountain Lion.

Thanks, Debora

You can reset the password.
How you do it though depends on the version of OS X you are running.
On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.
If you are using the Keychain, you will lose your existing one, and have to start a new one, unless you remember the old password.

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!

If you've already reset the password and changed your payment information, then the next best thing to do is call Apple directly and ask for iTunes Billing Support. Your account is likely disabled on their computers as part of their fraud prevention protocol. You may have to verify yourself as the account holder to get the account enabled again.
Good Luck!

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

Why can't i connect with the apple update server while I am updating my phone?

I was updating my phone while errors came up and finally I got rid of those errors. Now there is this message saying "the iphone cannot be restored at this time,because the iphone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable, please try again later ". what should I do?

See the answer in your other post.

Why am I continually told to contact apple support when I try to purchase an app?

I can't seem to purchase apps without getting the contact apple support message and it is getting very irritating and I can't solve it!

Because something's wrong with your account; only the iTunes Store staff can say for certain what it is or what's needed to fix it.

Did you also download and install the Windows Support Software?

Why can't I in Firefox 19, nothing happens when I try to bookmark a page?

Last week I realised that my old firefox did not work as all the extensions where gone and they could not be added again. I saved my old profile and made new one and then reinstalled firefox and got the 19 version. When I tried to import my old bookmarks it did not work - the folders where there but they were empty. But worse is that I cannot save any bookmarks at all. I have reinstalled Firefox, I have the 'Troubleshooter' and everything. Sometimes I can save one bookmark after I have opened the browser, but after that it does not work.
I don't relly care if I cannot import the old bookmarks (I have imported them into explorer instead, and that worked) but at least I want to be able to save new ones. For the moment, the only reason I use Firefox is that I use Zotero, but if I keep having these problem I will change browser. I have not spend up to a working day trying to solve this problem.

Can't login with my Apple-ID!

Hello,
i've got a problem.
By loggin in with my Apple-ID in iTunes it failes and says that i can't connect with iTunes. My internet works and my sis is able to login with here Apple-ID on the same pc...
I reinstalled iTunes, but this didn't help.
Please help me!
I hope you understand my bad english. I'm not from England and so on...

Here is how I got around this iTunes bug...
What happens: You make a purchase in iTunes then listen to it, and go back to the store afterwards to make another purchase, iTunes will keep asking for your password, over and over and over and over, never stopping.
Workaround: You have to close out iTunes, open it back up, then make the purchase, it will work fine.
