My ipad2 won't accept my apple password for new app install. I've tried several time and get a pop up "unknown error". Help?

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

My iphone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix it?

My iPhone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix this? Or what is the number of an actual person (no AI) that I can contact to help me?

Hi, Did you find a fix for this? I have the same issue, I've logged out of everything I can think of on my phone and logged back in again and it appears to accept the password. Yet when I try and update my apps it says that the password is incorrect! Ive reset my passwords both AOL and Apple. When I log on via a PC it accepts them, but when I try and buy / update something via the app store on my phone it says that the password is incorrect. Ive made sure that software levels are up to date etc.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Never seen anything like it. Do iPads get virus'?
Thanks for any help. I've never used this before.

There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

My iPad won't accept my Apple ID on iTunes & App Store

I recently had a problem with signing in with my apple id on ipad. It started when I can't download applications from the app store properly. The device will ask for my password but once I've entered the password it will load for a moment and get that GET button again. So I now signed out my apple id on itunes as well as icloud. I've reset my password. Now, it won't accept my apple id and password. But it worked perfectly on my icloud account. Once I've entered my password and id it will just load for a bit. The sign in button will not be active. But then after several seconds it will appear again with no further notifications or error display.

Hi Go to itunes bottom of page sign out then sign back in that may help . Cheers Brian

How do I require a my apple password for the App Store

What do I do to require my apple password for apps?

This Apple doc should help ya out -> Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. See How to change your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

I updated my iPhone and now it won't accept my Apple password.

After "upgrading" to iOS7, my phone continues to tell me that my Apple password is incorrect. I've changed the password, received confirmation that the new password is good, entered the new one, and - - - been told that the password is incorrect. Except it worked just fine logging on to this fine support network, so I don't think it's the password. I also checked the settings, and my user name and password are ok there.
Apple customer support is being very nice, but offering no solutions. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

11.1.3 won't accept my user password for updates

After upgrading iTunes to 11.1.3, it now continiously asks me for my AppleID password when I try to update my apps. I've checked that the Apple ID name and password are correct. In fact, if I type in the wrong password, it will tell me 'Incorrect Password'. But when I type in the correct one, it simply redisplays the authorization window....

After trashing all the relevant preferences, still no fix....
It should be noted that when I deauthorize my computer, and then reauthorize it, it has no problem accepting my AppleID password to get this done. Upgrading applications, no go.

I don't know why my iCal won't accept my Google password for syncing purposes. I just updated the password last night. It says this: "The password may have entered is incorrect"

My ICal, keeps saying: "The password may have been entered incorrectly. Reenter the password for account “Google” on the CalDAV server “calendar.google.com.”

Greetings Joe,
What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
Try:
Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove all unneeded accounts especially Gmail / Google.
Go to iCal > Quit iCal
Go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
Use the search bar to locate anything called "calendar.google.com" and then delete it.
Go to Keychain Access > Keychain FirstAid > Repair
Once complete go to Keychain Access > Quit Keychain Access
Restart the computer.
Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and re-enter your Google account.
Hope that helps!

App store will not accept my Apple ID for updates after installing Mavericks?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro. After installing it the two new updates for iPhoto and iMovie popped up. I click on the 'update' icon and I am prompted for my Apple ID as usual. After entering the correct ID the prompt disappears as if correct, but then re-appears asking for the password again. The prompt does not actually say that the wrong Apple ID or password has been entered. The updates do not install and the prompt remains. I know I have the right ID because I can install other apps using the same ID. I definitley have the right Apple ID. Now I cannot open iPhoto because it says that the application is not compatible with the OS! Has anyone got any tips on how to install these new updates and get around this error? Any help would be appreciated.

Following the info from support I enrolled into something called Mac Up to Date program, then you give them your serial number, invoice, etc... and then they seem to review the information and decide whether you qualify or not. I am still waiting for the answer, but I seem to be eligible (bought my new iMac on the 2nd of October and a few days after it was announced that all new Macs would receive iWork for free, so I guess my computer qualifies as 'new' - it is a late 2013 model after all).
But right now all iWork apps still appear to me as paid apps on the Mac App Store. It would be much easier if they appeared as free apps right away, but it seems the Mac App Store is a bit temperamental. And then there is the problem with the iMovie and iPhoto updates, which some of us are unable to get and that it is not even generally acknowledged by the support staff.
All these issues with the App Store are surprising for a company that takes pride in making things 'easy'

HT201407 i have a old iphone 4 i want to use for games only but my apple id and password is gone i cant find it i have tryed several times and cant get in to phone what can i do

i have iphone 4 I wantr to use just for games but I don't have my password or apple id for phone how do I fully restore it

You go to https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid if you don't remember the ID.
If you know the ID but not the password, you go to https://iforgot.apple.com and reset it.
If you can't do either of those, you call Apple and speak to someone in account security.

HT1212 i am having so much problem cause i forgot my password for my ipad i try it about 8 time and i dont no what to do

You may need to try this More than Once...
Some Users have reported as many as 12 or 14 attempts before success.
Be sure to follow ALL the Steps and Do Not Rush...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

I need to update to 6.0 but it doesn't work--I've tried several times and it never gets past the stage of "connecting to update server"--so how can I update without uninstalling first and losing all my bookmarks and passwords?

I have a MacBook Pro with Lion. Every few days Firefox will tell me, "you really need to update to 6.0," and I say, "yes please!" but then it says "connecting to update server" for ages and ages and nothing ever happens. I wouldn't mind uninstalling the old one and downloading a new one, except that I have lots of bookmarks and passwords saved, and I don't want to lose them all. So what's going on, how can I update?

Thanks, but, using the "free" version of Reader, there is no opportunity to open nor import the xml data - the menu options do not exist - there is no import listed.
If we try to open the xml file directly, then we get an error - something to the effect of "unsupported file type, or the file is corrupted".
I just noticed in my Pro version that there is the command File ->Form Data ->Import Data to Form... command. Is this what you are referring to?
What do you recommend? Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to purchase a few copies of Acrobat Pro for the reservations people to use? I was hoping that the free version of reader would do it, but perhaps not?
Thanks again,
Rob

TS3367 Cannot log into FaceTime using correct apple ID, tried several times and restarted numerous times as per messages posted on apple community postings still nothing seems to solve the problem! Please help!

Tried to log into my FaceTime account, but keep on getting "password incorrect" message. Restarted iPad as suggested by posted comments but still no positive result. Tried alternative email accounts such as @me.com but also no positive result. Please help.

Well after two attempts at trying to repair Facetime and iMessage by restoring my iPad, I am still left with the same outcome, no Facetime or iMessage. What I think has happened is when I first set up my iPad I used a different password, now that i have changed my password and cannot remember the old one I cannot access eitehr application. Whast strange is that you would think that when changing my password it would change the password on all devices when doing the synch from iTunes. For some reason this has not happened and the old password is still intact in Facetime and iMessage. I even tried backing up twice, the first time from iCloud and secondly from my Mac but even this has not resolved the problem. I also set up my iPad as a "new" iPad and this also had no impact. still struggling to resolve this, would appreciate help if anyone out there has a solution or something else I can try. i have run out of ideas.
