Account password and icloud ID

this morning I had a mbp session issue with the password. after 3 errors, you are supposed to enter icloud ID to reset it.
but the password from my icloud didn't worked as well.
I managed to reset my session password(new session by terminal) and checked in preferences, my icloud password was the right one.
I tried again with the session password mistake, same issue with the icloud.
what is going on with it?

ITunes account password and iCloud

My partner and I have been using home sharing to access the same itunes library on my laptop.
I have now enabled itunes Match and I wanted to enable my partner's laptop to access my itunes Match library now.
I had a Mobile Me account which I migrated to the icloud sometime ago. I understand that I can log my partner's itunes library into my itunes account and that should enable access to the itunes Match library?
However will that then give access to the rest of my icloud such as emails etc? Will the password be stored in the keychain?
Ideally I would like to create a separate itunes account that we could both then use that is separate from my main icloud id and password but if I do that what will happen with access to all the purchases I already made using my icloud apple id?
Is there a way of dealing with this without me having to give out my main icloud appleid account and password?
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

itunes match and icloud are separate services that a lot of people think they need the same apple ID for.
My recommendation:
keep your icloud account (mail, contacts, calender... former mobileme) account information the same as it is currently. I would change my username and password for the itunes account (via itunes on your laptop or destop) to a different username and password from your icloud [former mobileme] account in order to share your itunes stuff but not your mail, contacts, etc.
these two services are then able to be logged in separately on your apple devices (i have a separate icloud account than itunes account both on my iphone, so that I can share my media with my wife but have my own address book and email account on my iphone and she has her own on her iphone). let me know if this is confusing

Check your spam mail. If you have more than one email address verified with that apple id that email will go to the rescue email.

To change it on your iPhone you have go to Settings>iCloud and delete the account, then set it up again with your new credentials. When you delete the account from your phone it will delete any data you are syncing with iCloud (such as contacts and calendars) from your phone but it will remain in iCloud. Provided your are signing back into your existing account and not changing to a new account, it will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

I forgot the answers for the security questions and when I try to change them (My Apple ID - Manage your account - Password and Security) I'm asked to answer the exact questions I'm Trying to change because I don't remember the answers. How can I do it?

Can't you try the email option instead?

As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

For your problem there Not much you can do if you can't finger out your password.
1: you can retore the device to last backup date. "Recommended"
2: you can keep trying to remember you password and in time your device ether lock up or it will make you want for a vary long time.
If your willing to do a retore fallow The steps below
1 power off the device.
2 turn on iTunes and then hold the home button wile holding the home pluge the device into the computer. Keep holding the home until the computer sees the device and says it needs a restor,
3 do a restor. The computer will download the new ios5.0.1 and install it on your device.
(note if the iPad reboots before the computer is done downloading don't worry about it. Just power it back off and hold home and pluge it back in ones more. And select restor again.)
4 ones it's done with restore. Click on the device in your left calume and right click it and select restor from back up.
5 pick your name of the name of the iPad and wait for it for complet all transfers. This can take some time. Even up to a hour some times more if you have a lot of apps.

What account password? Are you saying you change the password to your Hotmail email account?
If so did you make the changes on your iphone in message settings?

HT4897 I have forgotten my original MobileMe account password and the email address that I used to use to retrieve my password no longer works - help!

I have just upgraded to mountain lion and want to use the icloud. However, years ago I set up a mobile me account and can not remember my password. The email account I set up originally as a default email no longer exists so when I try and set up a new password I am unable to because I can't access the email address I put on file. Can anybody help?

Are you particularly attached to your ex-MobileMe email address? - it sounds as if you haven't actually used it for very long time. Your easiest option would be to use the ID you have logged in with here to open an iCloud account and choose a new @icloud.com address.
If you really want to reactivate the MobileMe email address (which is also the ID for that account) you will need to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'More Products and Services' in the second column, then 'Apple ID' in the third column. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' in the first column then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'. You will be offered options to contact Apple by phone.

Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

Hi,
I have a mac mini server with mavericks, i have 2 iMacs as clients running mavericks too, when i use iMac (A) mail app and icloud work fine, them i take iMac (B) and mail app start asking for password , it just won't take the password, icloud do not load and cannot use anything else on system prferences because it locks system preferences, i need to force quit system prefrences , so I return to iMac (A) and i get same behaivor as iMac (B), i would appreciate your help for finding a solution for this.
All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
Thanks
Hector

Hector;
I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
Example:
my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
instead of
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.

Itunes account password reset. icloud email unavailable...

this is a question for a friend, because obviously, i have an account to ask.
itunes account password reset because her son kept attempting to access account.
to reset password, link goes to email. however, her email was an icloud account. so it used the same log in as the itunes account.
she knows the secret question and answer to access and reset from the non-email password reset method, however, the birthday required to get to that question is inaccessible and does not work (she is a woman, and obviously lies about her age).
I'm thinking the only way around it is to either setup a new itunes account, which would erase the ipad data once that is connected ( i assume that ipads can connect with only a single account), or find some other way to access the secret question. there is no phone number listed for icloud.
the ipad is only backed up to the icloud account. she just bought a computer, so would like to make a physical backup of the ipad. I think it is unadvisable to connect the ipad and the computer, until the icloud account can be accessed.
I'm not very knowledgable of the whole icloud thing. it sounded like a good idea to back up the son's ipad since she didnt have a computer, so i gifted her the icloud account. now, i'm kind of responsible for figuring out the situation. any helpful comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

sneaky, found it sent an email to one of my email accounts as well as the icloud.
login solved.

How do I restore my old iPhone4 when I forgot my password and iCloud is still on?

Hello Everybody.
Recently I found my old iPhone 4 that i haven't used in quite a while. I locked the phone initially so that my sister would not find any of my old text messages and then left it in one of my drawers for a while. After I found it again the other day, I decided to reuse it since I am going to a concert on the 29th of this month and want to use it to take photos and videos. I plugged it in the charger and waited until it was 100%, and then plugged it into iTunes. I realised I forgot my password for the phone, which was fine as I wanted to erase all of my old content. When I clicked restore on iTunes it said that Find My iPhone was still on for my phone and that I had to go on iCloud to turn it off. Of course this was no problem until I found out I had a different account than I did 2 years ago, as I forgot my password and made a new account. Obviously you can tell I don't have a very good memory.
I would like to know how to restore my iPhone before the concert so I can use it. I have a feeling my phone will run out of battery and I want to be sure I can take as many photos and videos as I can. If anybody could help that would be great

I've changed my email account password and was told to notify you. what needs to be done now?

I wasn't getting any emails. Tried logging into Mozilla account but forgot password and answer to question to reset password. Called my internet provider who reset my password. They told me to contact Mozilla and let them know that I've changed it. Is there anything I need to do now? Thanks, Reynson

Hmm, this is a little confusing.
Are you currently able to access your email website and view, receive, and send mail? If that isn't working in Firefox, is it working in Internet Explorer?
If you are resetting a Mozilla account password, either for this Support site or your Firefox Sync account, and you are not getting a related email message, could you confirm that it isn't going into a Junk or Spam folder?
If you are trying to access another kind of Mozilla account, could you provide a little more information about what it is?
