Why can't i sign in to imessage on ipad with my current apple id?

Why can't I sign in to imessage with my current and accurate apple id?

Try this and see what happens. Quit the App Store, Sign out of your account completely, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

    I can't sign into the App Store.  I've even changed my password to try to get it to work.  Every time I try I get "can't sign in now". Any thoughts?

  • HT4759 My icloud account is link to old apple id that i don't know password for and when i try to delete icould on my iphone it is asking me for a password instead of just deleting what can i do to  get my icloud accout updated with my current apple id?

    MY ICLOUD ACCOUT IS LINK TO OLD APPLE ID WHICH I DON'T KNOW PASSWORD.  WHEN I GOT TO SETTINGS TO DELETE ICLOUD TO CREATE WITH MY CURRENT IT ASK ME FOR A PASSWORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD APPLE ID INSTEAD OF DELETING THE ACCOUNT.  HOW DO I DELETE THE ICLOUD ACCOUT WITH INPUTTING A PASSWORD TO TURN OFF FIND IPHONE?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Why can't I sign in on Imessage or Facetime

    Been logged out since yesterday. Changed my password but still no joy. Got the internet & emails.

    Go into the settings and turn off Messages and FaceTime and reset your iPad.
    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.
    go back and trun Messages and FaceTime on again. See if you can connect again.

    Yes I use the same one for iCloud that I use for itunes & mac app store. The issue is that when I turn on my imac, it asks me to setup icloud before using the imac, I do that and seems fine. But, as I said in System Preferences, I cannot sign into iCloud, keep getting the "you can't sign into iCloud now" "try signing in again".
    What happens when you go to www.icloud.com and try to login with this ID that you use for iTunes and MAS. Does it log you in?

    "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 ?
