[Q] Can't sign in to You Tube

Am i doing something wrong?
I see a video and try to select the thumbs or favorite, I can't remember, but it prompts me to sign in. I can't select sign in but I can select create new account.
What is going on?
I am logged into my google account.
I just bought this thing last night for my son and I and so far we are happy.
Thanks,

I found the issue for my account (this may or may not apply to yours). The issue was that the e-mail address I thought was registered in fact was not.
For instance if your youtube account was originally subscribed under a yahoo e-mail address. It was later converted to be accepted as a gmail account. I was attempting to use my actual g-mail account instead of the yahoo account that was originally subscribed.
You can verify which e-mail you should use by logging onto YouTube on your PC. Under account, click "manage account". It will show what true e-mail is used to sign you in.
Hope this helps!

That sounds like it makes sense.
I went to you tube and this what i got:
"Do you already have a YouTube Account?
Yes. Add YouTube to my Google Account.
Enter your YouTube username and password to add YouTube to your Google Account."
So I signed in and this what I got next:
"You have linked your YouTube account (XXXXX) to your Google Account ([email protected]).
Note: Your old YouTube password will no longer work. You need to use your Google Account password from now on.
If you made a mistake, you can re-link XXXXX to a different (or a brand new) Google Account here. "
I will try Youtube later when i get home to see if this works.
Thanks

Let me know how it works. Sounds like you should now be set-up. One last thing. Once I had the correct email/password (which is sounds like you definetely have with the new account link), I went to YouTube on my Acer. Funny thing was, I had to still click the "Create Account" button. Once I did that then entered the e-mail and password, it acknowledged the account and migrated my profile.

nope.
Cant do it. i linked mygoogle acccount its still a no go. i tried the create account but backed out and tried to log back in, but that didnt work.
i keep getting the google account already exists. try again......
stuck

Wow, sorry to hear that my friend. Hate I couldn't help you on this one. The only other thing I can suggest is searching the issue with Xoom users (as they had the same issues). It seems like they found some fixes. Here is one link I found:

I will try when I get home.
After a few random force closes and some weird issues with browser randomly closing, I may opt for the Transformer, if I can find one. I know its Honeycomb related, but if I can get the 2 side-by-side, maybe the Acer goes back.

Updates - Can't Sync with Samsung Account

I have searched through the sections but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so hopefully someone can help me out.
When I check for updates under Settings>About tablet and try to sign in with my samsung account (created on samsung's website) it says invalid ID or password. I know it is correct however since I have verified it three times. On the off chance it was linked to samfirmware.com I setup an account there too, but same thing. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

you are NOT alone.

Right after I noticed on these forums that one need to be signed into a Samsung account in order to get an ota update, I tried to sign in with my existing Samsung account - could not, wrong password.
I tried to create another Samsung account online, and I get errors ' a problem occurred'.
I even tried to use a non existing gmail account, same problem.
Then I spend about two hours on the phone (its not a cell phone, you will probably end up at laptops - but Samsung support is so ****edup, that one knows whats going on. One guy told me to create a brand new gmail account and use that userid to login. Another said I should create a new samsung.com account and use that....no luck.
When I was promised to be called back 24-48hours after open the issue and no call after 72 hours, I called them. Their response was that someone will call me when they have a solution.
Probably think I am stupid and cannot type.
**** SAMSUNG support.
Maybe I would suggest we all open issues with them, regarding this **** support. That is all we can do - maybe a lawsuit because they are selling something that is not working as advertized....
Numbers count! Please open an issue with Samsung.

Your not missing a thing, I received my wifi Gtab 10.1 couple days ago did the same thing and nothing, first it said processing failed then it said wrong password, did the same, logged in on line to the samsung website that was fine. I Called Samy tech support up and they said they are working on linking the accounts together "I take that to mean its a system wide problem" the rep said i can sign up with a diff email. Well i did that too a got the same results. Im guessing they are having some issues with that update sign in/sign up server.
Ill call again tomorrow and see why i cant sign up at all.

samsung support known for a horrible service but i love their products. as long as you are sticking here at the forum you are good. mine too and i dont want to spend more time logging-in. just go to development section and you are good to go!

It's a known issue, but try again. It took a few times for it to go through, but I am now synced. Of course, there aren't any updates available, so it isn't a pressing issue right now

did you eventually use your login info from the Samsung.com site?

Maybe I am missing something really obvious ... but my Samsung Account shows as not sync'ed but I cant find where I can try reentering my username & password for it. When I go into the "Samsung Account" heading in "Accounts & Sync" there are no menu options at all. Am I looking in the wrong place?
EDIT:
Hmmm ... rebooted and now there is a message saying that "Samsung account" has to force close. Lovely.

i didn't use the same login as the website, I used the same login as my Gmail for the Tab, but I think you can use whatever email/password you want.
To access the login screen, go to Settings/About Tablet/System Updates

For whatever reason, trying to get the acct set up on the tab doesn't seem to work for anybody the first time. So, remember the first email and password you used, and do this:
clear data and cache, and force close these 2 apps:
Samsung account
Samsung apps
launch Samsung apps, and agree to the terms
try to sign in to your samsung account with the first email and pass that you used
It worked for me.

Clear data and cache? Do you mean from CWR or somewhere else?

Sorry, from manage apps, clear the data and cache from those 2 apps.
ETA: this only lets you create the account so you can manually check for updates, it does not solve the sync issue.

You can also manage apps by opening the app drawer, and dragging the icon to the little "i" in the top right corner.

OK, that sort of helped. Went through all of that but when I sign in it says bad password(verified through last pass login I am entering it correctly), and when I try to create account from that page it says account already exists. Frustrating!

When my attempt failed for loggin in from 'settings', 'about', 'software update', these two app's (samsung apps & Samsung account) data and cache are still empty - there is nothing to clear.
I cannot see that it will work either with the CWM data/cache clear, as I did the new UI ROM install, cleared my data and cache in CWM before I did the ROM install and afterwards I still got the same errors trying to login to the Samsung account.
I think you were just one of the lucky one's to sign into samsung account.
Did you use your same account-name & password as your samsung.com info?
Have you EVER logged into the samsung.com account (maybe registered your device online), before trying to connect from the tab10.1 to samsung account?
I think these are all important questions that we need valid answers for, before we can determine the say to proceed with this account login.
Thanks

Sorry - saw your post. But as I said these two app's data and cache were empty for me, so that does not do it either.

I haven't registered my device on the website.
If you get the "username/password already exists" error, I believe you are registered, there is just a bug with the server. Wait a few hours, another day maybe, and try it again

If you're still having problems, please look at this thread, hopefully there's some useful info that can help you clear it up

Solution found......
See this :
It works for me - confirmed.

Solved
If you're getting the "processing failed" message when logging in to do the updates, then here's your solution:
Instead of typing in your login information for the "Update" action, go back to "Accounts & sync" menu, then "Add Account", select "Samsung account", and fill in your samsung login information there.
If you have any trouble with your login (such as it rejecting your correct password), go to samsungdive.com and create or update your login information there. Simply changing your password to something different appears to somtimes help.
Once your login information is entered into the "Accounts & sync" area, you should be able to access the update feature without providing any further credentials.

samsung accounts too quirky
i have an account i have been using then updated to ICS.
galaxy s2. then tells me I cant log in with my .com domain in Turkey.
blah blah blah.
using the phone and samsung instructions it says log in under another address.
okay but there is no way of changing the log in on the phone which steadfastly keeps the old gmail address as my log in.
solution I uninstalled samsung apps and samsung account and sent an email to samsung explaining why.
told them when they get their s*** together then i might reinstall.
otherwise no advertising dollars for you samsung and google.
best to give consumers what they want.. a fully functioning OS and proggie.
I can do without samsung app but they cant do without us.
might take a year. suddenly kies for ubuntu.
email addresses that work in all countries.
WTF

Update- Can't Sync with Samsung Account/Incorrect Password/Account already exists

Everyone who's eager for the 3.2 release tried updating their tablet using the built in option however came across various issues.
I tried signing in but kept getting the same "wrong password" error and then even tried creating a new account using a different email and was unable to.
When I called Samsung the only thing the tech advised me to do was to perform a factory reset which I'm sure everyone knows is most electronic companies "cure for all things" and I hate performing it.
I refused to go this route and stood my ground with the tech. The only resolution he provided was for a hard reset but I refused. If a website is telling me that the password is incorrect surely there must be a way to reset it!
He kept putting me on hold but finally provided me with this website which should solve any and all "wrong password" issues
http://www.samsungdive.com
If you go there and perform a password reset or create a new account the account should allow you to sync.
Once on the website click on Log In and it will provide with options to reset or create a new account!
Good luck guys and if this works for you please "thank"

I was able to use this website to fix the samsung account on my SGT. It still says "sync is off" in the account tab for my samsung account, but maybe thats by design? Either way thanks for the site

You need to exit out of that and go into apps. Hit Samsung apps and go through that apps setup process. Then you should be able to do your sync through the samsung sync sign in.

This does seems to work. I confirmed it.
I also received the same link in an email a few days ago - but I guess their website was not working, because it still failed for me. I responded to that email and **** all over Samsung's ****ty support. I guessed they somehow listenend.
Anyway - this is Working!!!!. Login to this website, reset your samsung.com account's password. It will send you an email, confirm that and change your new password. Then use these exact credentials to logon on the GT 10.1. But First, clear the cache of Samsung Apps and Samsung Account.
guys, this is NOT Samsung apps (as stated in the previous two posts!!!!!!) you need to login to, but login by creating another Samsung account under settings, accounts...., with those credentials.

Thanks, got it working. I didn't even know we had to put our Samsung account on to the tablet.

Didn't workm Screw Samsung
Alas none of these worked for me. I even closed the samsung account and started a new one and this thing did not work . Just the same ... I won't ever purchase a samsung mobile device after this... I mean i got burned with the galaxy tab 7 taking so long to get updated then it was the galaxy S phones now this... I am done..... Sorry Samsung you just lost a customer. These quirks are unacceptable esepcially seeing how much we pay for these devices.... Straight to Ebay this tablet is going. I will just hold off until sometime after Christmas... by then a better tablet by a better company that cares about its US Customers will surface. So if anyone wants to buy a 32GB Metallc Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the book case and the USB dongle. Hit me up. Samsung I am done.!!!!
Nice Tablet but crummy support and in this day and age to have such a stupid quirk with a website....

im sorry your having those issues dude, mine is running perfectly and today miraculously it took my samsung accounta nd logged me in after having made so many unsuccessful attempts.

I don't have this elusive "Samsung Apps", I'm rooted can I download it somewhere? Thanks.

My Tab's Samsung Account isn't sync'd, and I have never signed into Samsung Apps and have downloaded a few things. I didn't even know you were required to, because I never did.
I checked for updates and it says there isn't one available, but am wondering if it is working correctly or not.

I have the Samsung Apps app and it works, but under accounts it shows that Samsung account is not syncing and no option to enable sync. I went to Samsungdive.com and I was able to log into my account there. There are no settings in the samsung apps app.
So what is the deal with samsung sync? Are you instructions for getting that working? I am a bit confused. Thanks

So should this Samsung account thing be syncing? Mine isn't and i even tried the factory reset, still says "Sync is OFF" Anyone got any help.

I recently changed my password for my samsung account now i cant even connect to samsung account keep getting wrong password very very frustrating!

I tried going to samsungdive, it won't even recognize my samsung account. i cant make a new one with any of the 3 emails I have, I cant sign in with any of them either, only on samsung.com
I tried recovering a password and it even says my email doesn't exist in their system....garbage. then I try to make a new account and it says to enter a valid email.... what the phuckkkkkkkkkkkk

I really don't understand this samsung account sync, I created an account when I first started tab, able to login to samsungdive.com but my tab shows that it is not syncing in the accounts/sync options.
Every few times at startup I get a FC with the samsung account.
WTF

This sucks.
I'm guessing what I'm about to detail is the same as everyone else:
1: On first boot of my pre-touchwiz GT10.1, I created some sort of Samsung account.
2: Every boot since then prompted me with two force close messages, both being some sort of Samsung process, blah, blah, blah.
3: Today, I get the touchwiz update, it installs.
4: I can log into Samsung Dive website with my established Samsung account no problem, and it knows I have a GT10.1. But it can't do anything with it, saying I have to enable Google Location Services, and Remote Control.
5. I go into settings on the GT10.1, Google Location Services is already enabled, Remote Control is not. I attempt to enable it, but get a prompt for a password with a blank ID. It will not take my KNOWN Samsung Account password. I can't delete it and create a new one without doing a factory reset.
Is there a solution to this pile of horsecrap yet??

I also can't login when attempting to update. I don't have an account specifically on my GT for samsung, but did register on line when I purchased it. Is this a common problem? Perhaps we were supposed to create the samsung account using the accounts option in settings.
BTW, my error is incorrect password even though I can login to the website. I can see my registration info

I have similar problem; I set up and registered my 10.1 and can access it at Samsung.com "My Account". I was told to set up recovery etc at samsungdive.com and could not sign in and was told that I had to create a new account there using a different email (Dumb), I did and can sign in but can't do anything else? I am waiting for an answer from tech via email. Even on the samsungdive page it says one account works for all?
Also on 10.1 under Settings:Location & security:find my mobile;remote controls if I check that box it has my correct account email but won't accept my password? This was when I first called tech and they told me to use samsung dive. Somewhere Samsung doesn't have their act together.

[Q] De-Register a device from Samsung HUB Account

Ive just got my 2nd Note 3, which the first was returned with a faulty camera.
However, I cant use Samsung Hub due to the fact that I have more than 5 devices registered within the last 90 days and I cant deregister any one of them. I have had a run of bad luck since xmas and a few faulty S4s and now 2 N3s. My Samsung and play store accounts both work fine and I can log into my Samsung/allshare account via the Web, but i just cant use Samsung Hub, due to 5 devices limit Im surprised.. this seems a bit crazy.
Can anyone advise me how to deregister one of my old S4s or who i need to contact.
Thanks

SOLVED!
Ive solved it and I wanted to share the solution with the community because its stupidly buried....
You need to goto "Samsung Link" web page, not your samsung account and login with your normal samsung account user and pass you set up for your phone/Tab.
I cant quite remember how I got this, but you need get too Samsung apps and you should get a "my device" and a picture of your device on the top left. Click on the very small settings cog next to the words "main device".
Click the end tab "my device", scroll to the bottom of the list and click "Modify" and just uncheck every device youve sold or dont use and click "Update".. and there you go.. all your slots back that your not using.
I hope that helps someone.. but like i say... you may have to dig through the site a little,.. to find the "my device" page.
Good Luck

Family Link problem: No more google account linked to the phone

Dear All,
I installed and then tried to uninstalled Google's family link on my android phone. Somehow do not know what I did, I got problems as google account on this device was removed from the phone.
So now my device did not have an google account. There is no way to add an google account (or sign in to play store). Every time I try to add an account or sign in play store, it quickly goes back to the previous screen. it seems that the phone is stuck in a loop in the family link which disable my administrative right of adding an account on this device.
Then in family link app (Family Link for Children & Teens) it asks to choose a device to supervise. When I choose this device, this says "There are no google accounts on this device. To supervise an account, add it to this device" But when i click on "Add account", it also quickly goes back to this same screen and noway would I be able to add an account.
But i could not uninstall the family link for Children & Teens either. It gives me the error message that "this app is required by your device administrator and can't be uninstalled".
But from another device where my family link for Parents, this device has been removed. so I would not be able to control this device from the parent account either.
it seems that the administrative right for this device is still controlled, but as this device has not google account and it has been removed from family link for Parents, it become an organ device and we are not able to do anything on it.
Now totally got stuck. I was thinking to try to factory reset the phone but it was disabled as "it is controlled by admin". But nowhere can I find the admin.
Do not know if anyone face the same issue with the family link app and what should I do?
thanks for your advice.
best regards,
Ron

Ron, good luck and I hope there is a solution. I was considering installing family link aslo, now I am not so sure.

Hello!

How did you solve it?
Tnx in advance,
