After creating new accounts Password not accepted

On my daughter's G3 iMac (10.4.5) I have always had it set up with one user that was auto-logged in. Today I am trying to add 2 more users but the login window is rejecting the passwords. The set up for the users goes fine, but when the users try to log in their password is not accepted and the box shakes (nice touch btw).
My admin login still works fine. I also tried setting up those new accounts with no passwords, but they still get shaken off. Anyone have any ideas?
To make sure this wasn't user error on my part, I successfully set-up similar accounts on my iBook and they worked fine.
Thanks

sounds like a netinfo database issue to me. if you have applecare you could call to be sure. otherwise, you can rename your netinfo database (which has probably become corrupt) by booting to single user mode (apple+s on startup) and typing the following commands:
mv /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb /var/db/netinfo/local.nidb.bad
reboot
once you do that, the setup assistant will launch on reboot and to be sure you don't lose any of your daughter's data, make her user name, shortname and password are the exact same as they are now. after you've logged back in as her user, go ahead and try to re-create the users again. it should work. if not, you may be looking at an archive or possibly erase and install.
good luck! it may be a good idea to back everything up just in case!

HT201412 After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to

After ios7, My iphone4 has gone dead twice in a time frame of around two months...even though its not happening very often but a two month Old phone going dead just after a New update is not acceptable.probably ios7 still has sum bugs dat need to be fixed...Can this bug expected to be fixed in the next update...

Hi 1283ar.
Unfortunately, iOS 7 is too hard to push for the iPhone 4 and therefore has a lot of effects turned off to try to get it to run as smoothly as possible.
However, it becomes better and better with each update coming but it's hard to do anything about the hardware on an already released phones.
If you still have trouble or think they are too hard. My tip is, if so, to restore your iPhone 4 and make a clean setup with no iCloud backup. But all your photos in a photostream so you can access it later.

Username or password incorrect after creating new account, tried everything

I deleted the old email account and started again. Thunderbird created the email address account, but when I try to use it, I get the message "Username or password incorrect" I can access the email account from the ISP website ok, so the login and password are correct.
I switched the pc off and restarted, same problem.
Help really appreciated.

This company seems to have a different password for accessing mail in the email center (I assume this is the webmail account) and another email password for using with Pop mail forwarding with email clients like Thunderbird. So you should have one password for log to email centre and another set up specifically for pop mail accounts using email clients. As account server settings are correct and you have checked that the username is the full email address and you have Pop forwarding enabled on the webmail account. This issue really sounds like the password is not correct. It sounds like you are trying to use the email center password which will not work.

New Iphone 4. Creating new account or not?

I am getting an Iphone this week. I have had an Itunes store account, that is shared with my kids, for several years. If I start a new account on my laptop only, will I lose all my purchased music and apps? The kids have access to all of the music and apps on the family computer. PLEASE HELP! My main concern is the imessaging feature and other things that share info accross all devices.

By setting up a new ID for iMessage and iCloud your messages will be private to you. Remember that apps are always linked to the ID that was used to download them, that is why you want to keep the old ID For iTunes and apps

Its a Bt account but when I try and set it up, the mac keeps saying that the smtp password isn't recognised,, I'm at a loss of what to do?
any help greatly appreciated

Verification failed after update .Apple id password not accepted

I have just updated to latest IOS on my iphone and ipad .Now i just keep getting verification failed message .And phone and ipad will not accet my apple id password .
Thanks In advance

That would only make sense if password was typed wrong, did you try to check if password is prompted for correct apple id, may be your icloud account is different? No other ideas, sorry.

My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

You can't. Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID. In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer. And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

Create new account and reset password options on AAD signIN page

Hi there:
When using Azure Active Directory as an authentication provider for Azure Mobile Services, authentication works fine, but what about signing UP. How can I add the typical links like "Create new account" (with a confirmation link via email) and
"Reset Password" to the SignIN page?.
Thx in adv,
Gerardo

This is actually a question relating to AAD, not Mobile Services, as AAD is in control of that page, etc.
However, Azure Active Directory is intended as an enterprise identity management solution. There is no sign-up process, as users are managed explicitly by the organization.
My understanding is that you are looking for a custom authentication solution where users have usernames/passwords associated with your application. AAD is not meant for this use case. We do have
a tutorial for working with your own database, but you are responsible for the security, etc.

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

Selling iBook, how restore OS X so it would play the intro and allow to create new account?

So I'm about to sell my iBook G4 which has Leopard in it.
Is it possible to restore it to a state where when the new owner boots it up it plays the intro video and allows him to create new account, without the old account still being present? I don't have anything important stored on that machine so of course I could just delete all stuff and leave it there but it would nice to allow the new owner to enter his own information, I tend to enter false information so my actual name or address etc. is not stored anywhere.

Perform a Erase and Install on your iBook G4 and don't complete the set up assistant after the installation.This will take care of your concern.

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
