Apple TV won't let me log into Apple ID

I'm trying to set up my Apple TV in my dorm and when I click the Computers section and log in with my Apple ID and password, it won't recognize it for some reason. I definitely have the right password, and even changed it just to make sure. The internet shouldn't be a problem because it's connected via an ethernet cord. I've reset the settings and tried redoing it but nothing changes. It also won't let me update it for some reason, and won't let me restore it because it needs to update to do that. I have the 3rd generation Apple TV model and I have home sharing turned on for my computer and the latest version of iTunes.

I want to get those accounts working for you Rempel2012! Those are certainly two very different accounts to be having trouble with. Is your Hulu account tied into your Windows Live Mail account with the same log in? Are you trying to log into these accounts through your web browser or through an application on your phone? Many of these log in errors may just be a result of the case sensitivity for the log in. Are you able to see the username and password as you enter it into your phone?
I look forward to helping you solve this account log in mystery.

My HTC droid incredible 2 won't let me log into some of my accounts. So Far it's only two accounts but still odd. When I try to log in to ether Hulu or windows live mail it gives me the invalid email or password. I have looked at the login info and they are correct but it just won't let me login. anyone have any suggestions?

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums.

Funny - Safari won't let me log in Apple Discussions forums. I need to log on with Firefox to wright this massage.
Do you guys have any clue why I can't log on with Safari?
My current version of Safari is 5.0.3

Good advice, Dixmaxim.
If you still have problems after getting rid of the cookies,
check back to see if your real name or password has any accented letters,
like ø, etc. If so, replace with un-accented letters. Just a thought.
This has been happening for several years now, and it is very embarrassing.
I would have thought it would be fixed by now.

My Apple ID and password won't let me log into MobileMe

Aloha, I need help ASAP. I had made a home page for my business in June, 2011. I didn't touch it for one month, now it won't let me log in with Apple ID and the original pass word. It requests me to create a new pass word, so I did many times. Still no result. HEEEEEEEEELP!

Is this what you are trying to do...
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
Note:
Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

Won't let me log into Messages or FaceTime on MacBook Pro

Recently sent my Mac off to get fixed and it came back to me with Yosemite installed. Since then I have tried to log back into Messages and FaceTime on my Mac but am faced with "The user name or password was incorrect. Try again." on Messages and "An error occurred during activation. Try again." on FaceTime. I know my Apple ID is correct! Plus I've had to sign in with the Apple ID at logon as well and that's posed no problems. Both iMessage and FaceTime work fine on my iPhone 5S.
I've tried to allow permissions through Firewall along with more suggestions I've found online, but nothing seems to work.
It was fine on the older OS... help!

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait for it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
          Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you start up, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 12
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 13
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Step 14
Reinstall OS X.
Step 15
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.

Won't let me log into other admin acoount no more..

Hi, I've had my Imac for 5 yrs now and never ran into this problem before. My husband has filevault on his account and I don't.We are both admin. I log into my account daily and have no problems. A few days ago, we had bad weather....while loggin off his account, the filevault or firevault(sorry for my stupidity here ) came on and was doing it's thing...than power went off. Never though much of it until I tried to logged into his account yesterday and it does nothing and freezes there. I enter password and click log in and it does absolutely nothing at all!! I press return, but it doesn't even try to log it. The curser stays there...than I have to power off/on cause it won't let me go back to log into mine. Can anyone help me! Obviously there's a corruption on his side...I did the startup disk with the CD on mine and repaired disk and permissions, did the pram and all....still nothing..Any suggestions pls? Lorraine

Hooray! Was it Easyfind that found it?
# Select the disk image in Disk Utility.
# Click the First Aid tab.
# Click the Verify or Repair disk button, as desired. Note: If the image has issues than cannot be repaired, you may need to transfer files to a different location as discussed in this article.
# When finished, quit Disk Utility.
# Unmount (eject) the mounted disk image volume.
# Get Info on the .sparseimage disk image file again, and change the owner back to the original account name. Note: If this is not done, your Home may not be available when logging in as the protected account.
# Get Info in the enclosing folder in /Users again, and change the owner back to the original account name. Verify that this is successful by closing and trying to open the account name folder (you shouldn't be able to).
# Log out and log back in as the original, FileVault-protected account.
Or with the Disk image mounted, now use Easyfind to search it for those pics or folder.

HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud. I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so. Please help.

I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up. It keeps telling me to check my email to set up. There is nothing from apple/icloud there. How do I get another email so I can set it up? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

Apple TV will not let me log into iTunes Store

Hi, Any help appreciated! I have just purchased an Apple TV and it will not connect to my iTunes Store, it gives me the message "User Name or Password Incorrect" but they are NOT, I can log into the store through the Macbook without any problems, I have tried friends accounts and get the same message, Been on the phone to support for 2 hours NO HELP!

Add me to the list. I just bought mine & can't log onto the Apple Store to rent/purchase. I can on my MBP.
I've had the same thing happen when I tried to enter my YouTube username & password. It wouldn't accept it. I thought it was a fluke w/YouTube. Apparently not so.
So, I can't buy or rent movies/TV shows. Exactly why do I want this gadget?
How about an update on the Apple site that just recognizes these problems & promise a fix?

Changed iCloud id...now won't let me log into iCloud after software upgrade

I changed my Apple/iCloud id a few months ago from one email address to another. Now, after I upgraded to iOS 7, it won't let me use my new id and keeps asking for the password for the old one. How do I fix this?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Then re-install the OS.

Old Apple ID won't let me log in on itunes... can't validate old music

I purchased music in itunes starting about four years ago. At that time, I was using my aol screen name account to purchase music.
When I select a song bought by my aol account (and not my present apple id) it asks me to log in to this old account. I still remember the password for this aol account, and iTunes allows me to log in. Then it tells me I need to update this account, to which I click "okay" in response. There is then an iTunes store error telling me to check my internet clock and make sure my computer accepts iTunes cookies.
Therefore, I can't upload/play this old music.. it is just sitting in my iTunes library. So frustrating! Please help.

Hi losta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
