My apple TV will not let me use my gmail account to log in to Youtube. Is it because it is the same email account I use in my Apple ID?
I'm having the same problem.
Error message reads: This account cannot be used with Apple TV. Please sign in with different account.
I'm using my gmail account to access Youtube as i do on my Mac. I have a completely different Apple ID account. -
Why do I need an iCloud email address? I mean I know I already have one set up but have never activated it what is the benefit?
Also does it make it easier to sync items between devices ie I'd like to get the calendar on my iPad 2 to transfer to my MacBook pro and vice versa.
Is it possible to activate iCloud syncing with out the iCloud email?
Any advice would be much appreciatedYou can go to Settings>iCloud and enter you Apple ID to set up your account, then turn on syncing for the data you want to sync. If you don't want to use iCloud email, don't turn Mail to On. If you're Mac is runniing OS X 10.7.2 or later, you can sync it with your iCloud account. You do this by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing into your iCloud account, then checking the data you want to sync with iCloud (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html).
If you sync your calendar on both your phone and your Mac with your iCloud account, then will remain in sync using iCloud. -
When I started up my computer this morning, a warning popped up saying: ! Sync encountered an error while connecting: Unknown error. Please try again.

Then go to google for the settings you need:
First here for the settings online at gmail http://tinyurl.com/du3fu

My Ipad says that i am running out of storage but my icloud says that ive only used 1.4gb of the 5 allotted and when i go to usage manage storage all my apps are turned t the on postpition for backup. So i dont nderstand why my ipads storage is being used
iCloud doesn't give you more storage on your device, it only gives you more storage in iCloud to sync data, store your backups, etc. If you're running out of space on your iPad you'll have to delete some data off your iPad to free it up, such as syncing some of your music or other media off your iPad.
You can check how much free space is available on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and looking at the Available number at the top. -
Why is Apple the only people on earth that cannot send an email to my gmail account? I used my gmail account to receive calls on Face Time until the last update and now Apple "cannot verify" the account and they have sent over 100 "verification emails" but I have yet to receive one. Amazing!
My original Apple ID was my bellsouth address. When I got iCloud, it was merged with the .me address. I can use either to log into the same iCloud, Facetime, iTunes & Apple Store, and Messages. Seems you have 2 separate Apple IDs (one for iCloud and one for iTunes).
If you log into any app using the Apple ID such as Facetime, only the email addresses associated with it will work. You can log into the Manage Apple ID website and see what addresses are associated with that login.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
I don't know of any way to merge seperate Apple IDs. You can try changing the one you use for iTunes to the one you use for iCloud and see if it works. If not, you can change the iTunes one to a different email address. Then you can disassociated the gmail address for the iTunes Apple ID and then associated it with the iCloud Apple ID. Once it's disassociated from one account, you will then be able to add it to the other and get the verification email. -
I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem. Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,
JoeYou need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MACbook Air?
Why can I not use my gmail account calendar on my MAC, when I try to sync it, it says "secure connection cannot be established" Is there a setting I don't know about?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
ICloud won't let me use my iTunes account
I have two iTunes accounts, when I started using iCloud, it started up with my second account, but I want it on my other one. So I deletaccounts icloud account, and tryed to start up one my itunes account I wanted to use, but it won't let me log in with it. I try to type it in and it says "this iCloud account is all ready set up on your iPad". But it comes up with the wrong one (iTunes account I don't want to use). Will I just have to use the ther account?
If the old ID ("username") is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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 am I getting an error message when trying to use a template?
Why am I getting an error message when trying to use a Pages template?
You are getting an error message because there is an error.
Knowing wht version of Pages you are using, what template you are attempting to open, and what error message Pages is sending you might help determine why you are getting that specific rror message. Without those, the first sentence above i pretty much all that can be said with any assurance.
