Why will i cloud refuse to log me in even with the right apple ID and password.  I keep having to reset my password but i always get an answer that I have a valid ID and password but it is not an icloud account

getting the same answer everytime I try to log into i cloud. I get a message that I have a valid ID and password but it is not an icloud account. I have tried for almost a entire year to go there. i have re-downloaded the icloud contorl panel. before I got this notebook  HP windows 8 it was easier . I do not like Internet explorer so I downlloaded.Google chrome. What must I do to go to icloud? I tried Internet Explorer and  chrome. I buy music on itunes and I am not sure I get all the content I purchase. I have had to reset my password often and my email address to. I once spoke to a live tech a long while ago and he helped me combine all my purchased and downloaded music. Now its impossble to talk to anyone on the phone or even online and i am frustrated.

You must create the account using an Apple device, a Mac (Lion or greater) or an IOS device (IOS5 or greater). Having done that you will be able to sign in from your Windows machine.
FYI, iCal is an application that can display calendars from iCloud (and others) it is not a calendar itself, merely a calendar client. In Windows Outlook is the calendar client.

  • Stuck at user log-in page even with the right password.

    After pressing the "on" button and it is showing the log in page.
    I typed my password.The password is correct.
    It runs for awhile, the background of the screen turns from grey to blue with the same design, then back to the log in page again.
    Temporary solution:
    Hold on to the "Enter" button after typing the password till it shows your desktop screen.
    Question:
    What is the issue that cause to be unable to log in with a simple pressing of the "Enter" button and have to hold on to it?

  • Not sure I'm in the right place. When I try to d/l a pdf (adobe reader x) I get a thing that says adobe   needs my permission to run but no way to permit. I   cleared  the security menu   thinking that might be the problem   but no joy.... Help!

    The title says it all.

    Question 1. I already asked this, Can I removed the Apple default apps?
    No. But you can turn off automatic syncing and Push email and set the phone to retrieve mail manually.
    Question 2. Can I control the way apps access the data network?
    Sort of. Turn on Airplane mode which will disable the cellular modem then turn on WiFi only. With Airplane mode ON and WiFi ON, your phone will only connect to the internet using an available WiFi connection.
    I can't find a way to prevent apps from using it or switching to it when my WI-FI drops momentarily.
    Apps do not run in the background so they only way an app can attempt to connect is if you have it running. If you do not run the app, it cannot run up your bill. For Apps that have "background" notification, you can turn that option off in the settings for each of those apps.
    Question 3. Is it possible for the mobile provider to turn my data network off while leaving the cellular network active?
    That is up to your provider. Call them. Go into Settings, General, Network, and turn OFF Data Roaming.
    Question 4. I'm trapped in a tough spot, is there something "technical" I can do, that I haven't mentioned bellow? There must be something to elevate the situation.
    In the US, you can return the phone within thirty days and void the contract. If you do not have that option, or if you are past thirty days, you can pay the ETF (Early Termination Fee) and void the contract.
    I live in a very rural area in the US and I have used all of the techniques listed above at different times. I hope this helps; I "get it" that a huge Surprise! data roaming bill at the end of the month can be upsetting. Try the stuff I listed above and if none of that works, paying the ETF might be cheaper than paying Surprise! bills every month.
    Hope this was helpful.

    If I Change my apple ID and email, will I be able to access my old purchases with the new apple id?

    After opening the email it shoud of had you enter the Apple ID and password. Using certian web browser's can cause errors. You can adjust securty settings (big pain) or you use another browser. Using Firefox or Safari should do the trick.
    Let me know if using Firefox or Safari resolved it.

    It has the error range of 3000's which states
    Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

    Hi, I have a trouble to restore my iphone 3 series but I  always get a error that is 1015. plz help to restore it. thanks

    Error 1015 means either you're trying to restore to an earlier iOS version, which is not supported, or you previously hacked the phone - jailbroken or iOS downgrade.  In the later case, you can no longer restore or update.

    Run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility and see if that helps.
    If not, you can select the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder, go File > Get Info (or Command-i), go to the bottom of the info window and set your permissions to Read & Write. On the Action menu at the bottom (the one with the gear) choose Apply to enclosed items...

  • Hey guys, I copied almost 600 pics to photo vault app. and they wer all saved to icloud. when i logged in another phone with the same apple id it again showed that 4.5 gb of the icloud was full of my pictures.but sudenly in sometime it startd showing 61mb

    thanks

    I had also thought that initially, but after turning it on, I went to sign into iMessage with my Apple ID and regular Apple ID password, but it prompted me to create an app specific password to sign in since I had two factor authentication on, as it wouldn't let me use my regular Apple ID password to log in (which I could use to log in for everything else but iMessage and FaceTime). It was nice since I was prompted to provide a code sent to an Apple device of my choosing when signing into the Apple ID management site or iCloud.com, but forcing me to create app specific passwords for iMessage and FaceTime is kind of ridiculous and frustrating. Maybe there's a way to have two factor authentication without the need for app specific passwords? Or if not, then perhaps that would be a great option to present users when turning that feature on.

  • After I repair permissions via Disk Utility, my HP1012 doesn't work. I get a message that permissions have to be repaired and do I want to do so. Yes, then it works again.

    Annoying, but not serious

    I'm not sure of the value of this, but it won't take long to try and might help. Have you tried repairing disk permissions whilst booted from the Recovery HD rather than whilst you are normally booted.
    Restart holding down Command + r and from the screen with four choices select Disk Utility. Choose it and repair disk permissions. Restart as normal from the Apple menu and test.
    If that doesn't help, try once again resetting the printing system, but before adding the printer back in go to Macintosh HD>Library>Printers and move the HP folder to the desktop. Log out and back in again (or restart) and try to set up the printer afresh. Hopefully this will initiate a fresh install of the software. If this solves it you can trash the HP folder on your desktop.

  • I need to edit the iPhoto library on my AIR. In Finder it says the library is 38.58GB but clicking on Info in Events shows that I have 8,422 photos and that the total is only 18.9GB. Why the discrepancy?

    I need to reduce the files on my AIR, in particular the iPhoto library which is showing as 38.58Gb in Finder. However when I click on Info in iPhoto it says that I have 8,422 photos and they are only 18.9 GB.
    Why is there this discrepancy? Could it be that somehow the library is duplicated? (No duplicates show up)

    However when I click on Info in iPhoto it says that I have 8,422 photos and they are only 18.9 GB.
    This is the estimated sise of the resulting folder if you exported the entire library at the current setting.
    the iPhoto library which is showing as 38.58Gb in Finder
    This is the size of the Library installation. It contains all the versions of your photos, cache files, database files, thumbnails and so on. All are necessary for iPhoto to work.
    If space is an issue then you can move your Library to an external disk.
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
