HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

    How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4,  7.1.1  I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts.  I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account."  I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones.  I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account.  When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Suzanne,
    It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • I'm getting the user name or password for icloud is incorrect. Everything was good until I changed my apple id pass word

    I had to change my apple id password and now I'm getting the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect.

    Hi Ed,
    I experienced a similar problem too.  It happened overnight a few weeks ago after 11/19.
    I got a pop up message, saying that my password needed to be reset.
    So I reset my password, and ever since, I have not been able to read/send email from my icould @me.com acct.
    Now I get the error: "The user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect" on my iOS devices, though it is correct enough for access my iTunes account and to log into http://icloud.com. 
    Interestingly enough, the issue seems to be related to the email only, since I cannot access icould email from the website either. It instead creates an error dump.

  • How do I save my user name a password for a site that doesn't automatically ask me if I wish to?

    Normally Firefox will ask if I wish to save the user name and password for the site I've just logged into. This time it did not ask me this. Is there somewhere that I can add this information so I don't have to remember it for when I come back in a year from now and am trying to log on again? I went to tools>internet options>security>passwords but nothing there seemed relevant.

    Some sites block passwords from being saved. For more details and how to bypass this see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered

  • HT204053 icloud account still shows my old apple id. now says user name or password is incorrect

    i changed my apple id now icloud wont update

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

    Thanks

    It is not possible to create a new iCloud account using a Windows machine. You must create the account using a Mac (10.7.5 or more) or an IOS device (iPhone etc). Once that is done you can sign into and use the account on your Windows machine.

  • What is a Token Data String and how do I create one?

    How do I create local server scripts? I have read Chapter 2, what is a data string, how do I 'create' one and how can I 'pass' this off Apple, iTunes, whoever needs it? Chapter 2 doesn't say.

    I suggest that you grab a copy of Chapter 4 of the Admin document. It explains a lot. You should also grab a copy of Apple's sample scripts (you get some C code, Java, Perl, Python, and a shell script). They will give you some idea of how this works. The scripts are downloadable frmo the iTunes U support page.
    Basically, the token string contains a credential that says what access you'd like to have in iTunes U (you are an "Admin" user or a "Student" or an "Instructor" say). The credential encodes what you can view/edit in a standard way. The credential also includes some optional info (like your identity, e-mail address ... a "user identifier" which is typically a number ... say if you identify users by numbers and names ... and other stuff). You then slap on a timestamp on the credential and cryptographically encode it with that shared secret Apple sent you (when I say "you," I mean that funky CGI you've written ... your CGI does all the encoding). When you're done with the token string, you slap it on the end of a site URL (again, this is something Apple sent you) and send it to Apple. This way, you ('er, your CGI) does all the authentication for Apple (because you know how to authenticate your users better than Apple ever will).
    I confess I had to read Apple's documents, oh, like twenty times before I figured all this stuff out. Once you get it though, it will seem like a pretty cool system.

  • How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

    Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
    Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
