I have a problem when creating a Bluemix service - when I select Create Service for either the language translator or any other service, the page stays loaded and never creates the service. What may be the problem? Appreciate any help you can give me.
Looking at the URL in your screen cap, you are using the old Bluemix console, which is no longer supported. Log into the new console using your existing User ID and password, and try creating your service again.

Is there a way to see who was creating a app or a service in Bluemix where I have multiple users/developers in a org/space ?

Using the Bluemix CLI you can find out about the events associated with an application by using the command:
bx app events <application_name>
There is not a similar command for services.
When you look at the Overview of an application, in the Activity Feed you can see a username associated with every Start, stop, and update of the app.
I have a BlueMix application using NodeRed and I want to sign up for the ElephantSQL service so I can store some tabular data, but when I browse to the service in the catalog I don't see any option to sign up. The only thing that is close is an option "connect to" which allows me to select one of my applications. However, selecting my target application does not sign me up for the service and when I browse back to the service I see it has forgotten my selection.
I understand and that is definitely the cause of the issue. Please open ticket with Bluemix Support so we can look into your account and resolve this issue:

When I bind SQL Database service to an application I can see credentials from application panel. But in case I've created a service and would like to work with it before I'm binding to any application, is it possible? I haven't find a way to see credentials, only internal tools to work with database.
Thank you.
Once you provision a new SQL Database instance, you need to enter the service details page in bluemix, find the 'Launch' button to go to the service page which will open up separately. On the service page go to Set up `-->` Connect Applications `-- >` Connection settings. You will get all the connection details except the username and password.
If you are not able to resolve the username and password then you have got two alternatives :-
1. Create a dummy application, bind it to your SQL Database, get the credentials from VCAP_SERVICES, and you can use them externally.
2. If you are looking for something only on `DB2` then you have another alternative called `DashDB` available in Bluemix. Here the settings are well defined, credentials are clearly available and will work even without binding the service to an application.
Hope this helps you. Thanks.
I've got a Cloudant service that is associated with my Bluemix app. When it was setup, a username/password combo was created automatically. I accidentally shared the credentials (it is just a demo), so now I want to change the password. As far as I can see, there is no way to actually change the password - either on the dashboard or the site itself. Where is this done?
There is no UI to change your credentials. You can contact support. I recommend you create a new instance, use the Replication tab in the Cloudant console to migrate your database, and then delete the old one.
Service credentials are usually created by binding the service instance to an application. Not every service broker works this way, but most do. Simply unbinding the service:
cf unbind-service myapp myservice-instance
And then rebinding:
cf bind-service myapp myservice-instance
Should result in new credentials being generated to the same service instance. Since you can bind a service to multiple applications, each application generally gets different credentials (depending on the service broker implementation).
How do I check to see if my SQLDB service instance has been hibernated or not, is there an easy way to check?
Not sure what you mean by "hibernated" but if your service is bound to the application and the application starts successfully, then your service is in good shape. You can also view the status of all Bluemix services by checking the site below:
