I have iphone5 currently on the latest iOS 6.1.2. I am connected to wifi which is perfectly working. My iMessage is perfectly working using my mobile number but can't add my apple ID. When i try to add my apple ID to use for imessage, an error message always comes up: "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."  How can I resolve this? any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can't use iTunes gift cards to register into iTunes Match because it's a yearly suscription, so Apple needs the credit card to charge it in case you don't have enough money on gift cards

    Is your Apple ID one of the old ones which isn't an email address but simply a username? you can't use that to make an iCloud account.
    I'm not sure whether you can change the ID to an email address (such as a free GMail address) at http://applied.apple.com - you could try that; if you can't do that you will have to create a new Apple ID for use with iCloud. You can still use the present one for these forums and iTunes.

  • HT3819 Why can't I use my apple TV to share more than one iTunes account?

    My partner and I both have seperate iTunes accounts, understandably. And we both use our appleTV, understandably. Why can't we set up apple TV to play music / watch shows from both of our computers? I hope this is not because I haven't read the manual.

    You CAN use the ATV to share more than one iTunes library. Homesharing however require you to use the SAME apple ID on both computer. I have homesharing turned on both my girlfriend and my computer with me signed in on both computers and the ATV. Both itunes librarie show up on the ATV as long as both computer are ON.

    How can I use my Apple ID in iTunes with out credit card?

    For me it's the same, I've just bought an iPad mini two weeks ago but I cannot log in with any Apple account in FaceTime.
    I enter my apple account in faceTime, then I press next the second screen and it shows "validating..." but it never gets validated.
    What's happening? This is really annoying

  • Why can I not verify my Apple ID? I keep getting this message after trying: "the email address is alread in use or you may already have an apple id associated with this email address. please try again or sign in using your existing apple id"

    Hi all,
    I tried this and it worked:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password you used when creating the account.
    4) Change the email address associated with your account.
    5) Send new verification email
    I also got this from apple CS for other things to try:
    Please follow these steps to access your Apple ID accountinformation:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Click the Manage your account link on the right sideof the page.
    3) Enter the account name (Apple ID) and the password youused when creating the account.
    4) Delete any duplicate email addresses associated withyour account.
    5) Click the Save Changes button.
    If you do not have duplicate email addresses on your account, it is possible that your email address is already being used withanother Apple ID. In order to verify your email address with the current AppleID, it will need to be disassociated from your other Apple ID. You can do thatby following these steps:
    1) Visit My Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com/.
    2) Log in with your other Apple ID and password.
    3) Select the Manage your account link.
    4) Choose Name, ID, and Email Address from the left sideof the page.
    5) Next to Primary Email Address, select Edit so that youcan change the email address associated with this Apple ID.
    6) Once you've made the desired change, select SaveChanges.
    7) Choose Sign Out from the top right of the page.
    If you would like to have the verification email resentto you, please sign into https://appleid.apple.com/with the Apple ID you want to verify, and make sure there is not a typo in yourPrimary Email Address. Select the "Edit" link to the right of your email address to make corrections and then click the "Save Changes" button.Once the typo is fixed, or if there is no typo, click the "Resend"link under your email address.
    If you still do not receive the verification email,please reply to this email with the email address that you intend to use onyour Apple ID.
    Good luck!

  • Why can't I download apps from App store? I get error message to log into Itunes but when I do I have no idea what to do!?

    I'm stuck. Can't download any apps. Error message directs me to iTunes. No idea what to do when I get to iTunes. Still can't download anything. Dead in the water.

    If you are trying to download apps over 20MB in size, you can't do it via 3G. You can download them via WiFi.
    When you go to iTunes on your computer, from the menu at the top - go to Store>Check for available downloads.
