AIM in ichat not working it says i have the wrong password when i know its right
why cant i sign in!? i know its the right password because it just worked and now it says i have the wrong id or password
Hi,
The most common cause of this is that you are using a Valid Apple ID that is also a Valid AIM Screen Name (ending in @Mac.com or @me.com) but the password is too long for the AIM servers.
Although Apple have an agreement to allow these forms of Apple ID to be valid AIM Screen Names AIM only manages passwords up to 16 characters. (Apple encourages you to create longer ones)
The next one is creating an iCloud issued @me.com names and trying to use it in iChat 5 or earlier as this will not work.
iChat 6 and Messages Beta also log in to Me.com. This allows the AIM servers to "see" the password.
Earlier versions of iChat do not do this Dual Login and therefore AIM cannot access the password.

I just created my ichat account and it says i have the wrong password
I just made my ichat account . After i made a user name and password it said i was offline. When i go to switch to online it tells me that i can't login because my password or login ID is incorrect. I went to keychain access and verified my password and lock it in the changes but it still tells me i have the wrong password.
HI,
If this was an @mac.com name you made was the password longer than 16 characters ?
The Apple web site for @mac.com registration encorages longer passwords but they have to be read by the AIM servers and they can only manage a max of 16 characters

I can't seem to get gmail from my apple mail account. I have removed the account and added it, but it says I have the wrong password. I close gmail and get in just fine. What's up?
I meant that I sign out, sign back in ok. Ergo, I know my password. Someone here on the support page (you?) told me the culprit is the 2 step verification process which I had on. That makes a lot of sense as Apple mail won't get a code thereby jamming up the process. I could not even start a new account until I took that 2 step process off. Everything fine now thank you.

i cant connect to my wifi due to the fact that it says its a wrong password and ive tried resetting all the ways i can and it still says i have the wrong password what can i do
Do other devices connect to the same wifi router?
Have you tried powering off and then back on the router?
Did you connect before OK?
Have you reset the iPod?
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Setting

iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections -
Hello, I am having some major troubles connecting my iPhone 4S to my home wifi. When I try to connect on my phone, it says I have an incorrect password. That's not possible because I can connect my MacBook to the same network with the same password. I have reset my network settings on my phone, reset my router, called apple support, triple checked I was trying it in correctly, I have no clue what's going on.
The only thing different is I just moved, but I have the same router/phone/internet provider.
I've seen some discussions of router security options being the problem, I have my router connected to : WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES].
The other options are: WEP , WPA-PSK[TKIP] , WPA2-PSK [AES] , WPA/WPA2 Enterprise.
My troubleshooting and understanding of all this is pretty limited, my applecare service did not help, please can anyone help me?
Thanks!If the issue happened after an update, you may want to go into an Apple Store. Be sure to let them know exactly what's wrong with the device.

Ok I rented a movie off of iTunes and it worked but then I got an update so I did it not it still says I have the movie but I can't fined it .. It tells me to go to my downloads ?
You can do it by manually managing music and videos. See:
iOS: Issues syncing content with multiple computers using iTunes
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar.
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions -
I want to link my other email accounts to my imail so I can see them all at once. When I enter their account information, imail says I'm using the wrong passwords but I know they are correct. What now?
This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:
http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -

I can't make copies on my C6180 printer. It says i have the wrong size paper and I don't
I am trying to make copies on my C6180 all in one printer and it says I have the wrong paper size and then spit the paper out. Paper size is correct. What is wrong.....this just started happening and nothing has changed on our computer.
Hi @cflooring,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot make copies on your HP Photosmart c6180 printer, and it is saying that you have the wrong paper size. I am happy to help you with this issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know:
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please see this guide, 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing.
Hope this helps, and hope to hear from you soon!

I just downloaded the new iOS 7.0.3 software and it told me to download iCloud. So I did and now I can't download or update my apps because it says I have the wrong billing address. I know I have the right billing address. How do I fix the problem?
You can authorise your account on the Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu at the top of iTunes e.g. :
If you still have your PC then you could also copy the content over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 -

Am I do not know how to change my rescue email as it is wrong and in can not remember my answers to my security questions so I want to change them but I can't as I have the wrong rescue email anyone know how to change your rescue email
You won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use. -
Iphoto says I have the wrong address and won't let me order the book. What is the problem?
Why doesn't iphoto let me order the book I composed? They say I have the wrong address yet it is my address.
What Print Products Store do you have iPhoto linked to in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane?
Is it the correct one for where you address is?
