  • ATV won't accept Apple ID and Password

    My ATV has been working just fine since March and I like it very much.
    However, I got back from holiday and found that it won't connect to the Apple iTunes Store, won't check for new software versions, and when I tell it to check for downloads it says that my Apple ID and Password are invalid.
    When I re-enter them, it continues to say they are invalid. However, they work just fine if I enter them through iTunes.
    Anyone else see this problem and know a fix ??
    Cheers

    Haven't actually rebooted those for ages - several months - and the Apple TV seems to work in all other respects e.g. syncs with iTunes OK, I can play movies and music, and so on. Just the features needing Apple ID / Password that will not work - renting/purchasing direct from ATV, software updates, and so on. The message I get from the ATV is "Unable to Sign In. The Apple ID you entered could not be found or the password was incorrect." and of course this Apple ID and password works just fine directly through ITunes.
    Having said that, it can't hurt to try rebooting the router/wifi gear, so I'll let you know if this fixes it.

  • Yosemite installation won't recognise Apple ID and password

    I am trying to install Yosemite on my iMac which appears to have been successful until my AQpple ID and password was required. The system is locked up after sending an email with my sign-in information to reset my password. I have had to go onto my MacBook Pro running Maverick to sign into Apple Support Communities with the same Apple ID and password used on the iMac. I also checked the accuracy of my Apple ID and password by successfully logging into my iTunes account. My MacBook Pro also completely locked up when trying to install Yosemite and after two Genius Bar appointments failed to overcome the problem. Although the hard-drive checked out on test, both technicians suggested replacing the hard drive as a solution. After much fiddling, I managed to get back to Maverick operating system, which is still operating faultlessly and the computer used to access this forum. The email that was supposedly sent to me has not been received at my Mail account, even though my aApple ID is my registered email address with Apple. Any thoughts on how to overcome this situation.

    Thanks Eric for your reply. Unfortunately, screen was locked on "email sent to reset password", so in total frustration, turned iMac off and restarted to find Yosemite installed and ready to go without Apple ID or password required. I did not notice a skip option but it is now obvious that an Apple ID and password was not required to install. I am still mystified as to why, even when the correct password and Apple ID was entered, it was rejected. Most annoying having to reset password when not necessary. But everything from Maverick seems to be working OK.
    I'm yet to retry installing Yosemite on my MacBook Pro, fearing the disasters and frustration at two Apple Genius(?????) Bars last month. But I will take your advice and do two back-ups (I only did one with the iMac and that was to Time Machine) before trying again. What is your reason for the second back-up and are you suggesting a different external drive to that used for Time Machine? Just as a precaution? Thanks again for your help.

  • Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad?

    Why is my Apple id working on my MacBook but not my iPad? I can log in o.k. on my MacBook, but using the same user name and password on my iPad, I just get the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message.
    on my iPad, I have used the Forgotten Apple ID or Password link and reset the password. Even after I get the successfully reset password message it still gives me the Incorrect Apple ID or Password message!
    In desperation I have restored the iPad to Factory settings. It appears to be running OS 7. something.
    My Macbook is running 10.8.5.
    But the same problme persists.
    Please help

    Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.

  • HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

    when i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

  • Why doesn't the iTunes Apple ID and password work for iCloud on the iPhone 3GS?

    I even logged into this Apple Support Community using my Apple ID and password with no problem. It also works in iTunes. But it still doesn't work for iCloud on my iPhone 3GS. It keeps saying "Unsupported Apple ID - iCloud requires an Apple ID that is an email address (including @me.com addresses)" I even put my email address associated with my Apple account and I still get the same message. I also checked to make sure the OS software was up to date.
    What's going on and why is this so difficult to accomplish??!!

    Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

  • OSX internet recovery won't take apple id and password

    Hi, I had a virus on my old mac, pre- mountain lion, so I backed it up on an external harddrive, placed it in recovery mode, erased mac HD with disk utility, and tried to download the only option which is Install Mac OS X Lion.  However, when asked for my apple id and password it will not take it.  It says it was not the one used with that computer.  I have always used the same apple id and I have been the only owner of that mac pro.  How do I install the OS or find the correct apple id and pw?

    So your early-2011 would have come pre-installed with OS X Snow Leopard. And it appears you were trying to do an Internet Recovery by restarting using Command+Option+R. And for your model Internet Recovery only shows OS X Lion as the OS to install. If you would have had a Mac that came pre-installed with OS X Mountain Lion, then you would see that OS to install.
    When OS X Lion came out, did you purchase it from the App Store with the Apple ID you mentioned?
    If you have never purchased OS X Lion, you will need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard from your original SL DVD and update it to 10.6.8 in order to redownload/install OS X Mountain Lion if you purchased ML from the App Store.

  • If I have a new apple ID and password do I lose all of my old apps if I sync under the new apple ID?

    If I have a new apple ID and password, do I lose all of my old apps if I sync to my new apple ID?

    I'll ask my question differently. I have multiple devices and I sync them to my itunes account. For one of my devices, I gave it to a family member. I changed my itunes password and did not give it to the family member who has one of my devices. Will they be able to update applicable apps not having the new password?
    Also, if that family member opens their own itunes account and purchase apps and sync the phone, will they lose all the apps that was purchased from my itunes account?

  • TS2446 after changing my apple ID and password also updating my iphone, i-tune, i-cloud acount my new apple ID when updating my apps is still disable. can you please help me out? Thank you

    My apple ID been disable for the past 3 days. i followed the direction of changing my apple ID and password on i=tune account also i changed the icloud account and my apple id is still disable. hoping you could help me out to activate my account. thank you and have a good evening...

    All apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using another iTunes account/Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another iTunes account/Apple ID. You'll have to contact iTunes support, explain the situation & request they add your apps to the download queue of your new Apple ID:

  • Wifi signal working on my MacBook, but not on my IPhones.  Why?

    I've been having trouble with my network signal strength for the last few weeks since my service started.   My ISP is DirecTV. 
    Today, my service went down completely and after I called them, it came back about an hour later.  I now have Internet service on my MacBook, but not on any of my mobile devices, including IPhones.  They are unable to see the base station. 
    I've rebooted many times.  Occassionally, it will see my network signal, but then it drops off.  I have a Motorola SB5101 Modem.  One thing I do know from calling DirecTV so often is that the tech on the phone today did change my IP address.  Does that have anything to do with my problem? 
    My fear is that if I call them again, I will once again be without any Internet access, so I'm waiting patiently on a Thursday appointment, but if I can do anything to fix it now, I'd like to.  Thank you.

  • Why won't Safari load up and textedit work properly?

    Last night I turned on the computer and broadband modem to take a look on the internet. Initially I thought there may be a problem with the broadband connection -safari wouldn't load up, internet explorer wouldn't connect (but did load up) and itunes couldn't connect to the net either.
    So I turned the computer off and decided to leave it until the morning and hope the problems had gone. However this morning I can connect to the net using internet explorer but safari still doesn't work. I click on the icon and nothing happens so I have to force quit it.
    I also noticed that I can open up text edit and type using text edit but when I click on file to save something I just get the swirly loading icon, could this be connected?
    I'm concerned that these problems are signs of more problems yet to come.
    (I have a Powerbook G4, running 10.3.7 -I don't want to update my computer at the moment because last time i did I had massive problems)
    Hope someone can help, thanks

    I just wanted to add this incase anyone else had this problem. I found out it was because of some new fonts I had bought. When I disabled the new fonts Safari and textedit worked fine.

  • How can I reset my IPAD 2 to resolve the fact that Apple will not let me use the APPLE  ID and passwords that I want to use becasue they may have been used in the past year. I am very close to donating this contraption to the Good Will.

    I have been an Apple User for almost two decades and have had no problems with my G4 Powerbook, my Intel MacMini, nor several other Macs as well as Windows 7 machines. However, the IPAD2 poses a problem of unfathomable disgust with the concept and implementation of the Apple ID. There is one for the computer, there is one for support, and there is one for itunes, and possibly another one for apps. There are different passwords for each. I am continually faced with notification that my Apple ID is incorrect or the password is incorrect. I have to keep an Excel spreadsheet with all of this unnecessary NANNY State protection matched only in pervasiveness by the Federal government.
    I am told that an Apple ID can never be destroyed and replaced. Who dreamed that one up? I am told I cannot use a password that has been used in the past year. Why? By whose authority? I am not a walking encyclopedia that remembers every telephone number he ever dialed. Thankfully my cheap LG clamshell telephone keeps numbers and talks to Ford Sync successfully.
    Bottom line is that the IPAD has become almost totally useless since I cannot change the several necessary passwords to anything I can remember because they are not novel enough. I also never seem to be able to keep the Apple IDs straight as they are too numerous to remember and I don't want to remember them anyway. Why? Even if you enventually get the ID right you have the wrong password and have to go through a merry-go-round of emails to change the password to something you have already used in the past year which is not permitted.
    Has anyone out there used a competitive device with less cumberson overhead? Surely this is not the best American technology can produce.
    Thanks for your comments.

    Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
    Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
    The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
    Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
    I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
    One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
    Thanks for your comments.
