Apple ID or password doesn't work for iCloud

I cannot seem to get iCloud to accept my apple ID and password using System Preferences... BUT it works on every other apple account-related thing I log into... i just tried it with my iTunes account, the Apple ID manage center on the Apple website, and i successfully logged into my iCloud account in my browser... but I cannot log in using the system preferences control... therefore I cannot properly sync my iMac! Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Right now iCloud is down, so it will take time.  In the past, there have been users who never got their verification email, so they had to reapply.  But right now, don't try since the system is down.

  • My password doesn't work for itunes

    My password doesn't work for itunes

    I was wrong --- turns out I did create a password long ago for my first backup, different than my iTunes password, and fortunately I was able to remember it.  The restore worked fine once I gave it the password that it wanted. 

  • Just upgraded to 6.1 but my iTunes password doesn't work for my restore

    Just backed up my iPhone4 in iTunes, transferred purchased items to my iTunes library, and then updated the IOS to 6.1.  Now iTunes is giving me the option to restore from my backup, but it wants a password, and my iTunes password doesn't work!  I was never asked for a new password for by backup so I'm very surprised my iTunes password doesn't work.  I just logged into this forum with my iTunes password so I know it is still active.  Anyone have any ideas of what I should do next?  Thanks!

  • HT5622 apple ID and password doesn't work on my iphone.

    Hi, my iphone won't recognize my apple ID password but the ID is correct and works on my MacBook and ipad. So I'm not getting my emails or imessages to my iphone. This this just occured after doing a software update to IOS 7.0.6. What do I do?

    I'm having the same issue and I'm SO frustrated.  I can log into MyAppleID fine (as I did to make this post), but that same user/pass doesn't work with iTunes and my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 both won't update any apps.  When I try to log in to iTunes on either device the login screen just pops back up again in an endless loop, yet I go to a PC and login to my account just fine.  I've now reset my password at least 3 times, I've signed in/out and rebooted the devices countless times, and yes, I'm sure I'm entering the password correctly.  It's just driving me nuts.

  • APPLE ID AND PASSWORD IS NOT WORKING FOR SIGNING IN

    My itunes account is not logging in due to new email... It has been verified but still will not let me log in.

    Assuming that you forgot the password then reset the PW by:

    Otherwise what happens when you startup the Mac?

  • 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!

    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password,  original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it.  Now can't buy apps.

    I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work.  How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

    f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I want to use wifi for Apple TV, but it doesn't prompt for a password, so never connects.  What am I missing?  Can I only use it via a non-password-protected wifi connection?

    Hi - you might want to post this question on the Apple TV area - you would probably get a quicker response - if you have a specific question relating to Apple routers then post back here

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

  • Does anyone else have two Apple IDs? I can't get rid of one of them. It's associated with my iCloud account and I can't fix it. The password doesn't work.

    So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.

    Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

    forgot my adminpassword, i have tried the reboot with initial disk didn't work, i am able to get into my computer with name and password, but this same name and password doesn't work as an administrators password when i want to download or change things.
    do you have any suggestions? Im about to give up, i can't even access wireless have to use a dsl
    pretty sad

    ... this same name and password doesn't work as an administrators password when i want to download or change things.
    It's probably that your Keychain password is not the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.
