Apple ID password is wrong on my ipad

A completely different name is coming up on my ipad after we just upgraded to 5.0 yesterday. I cannot do my app updates because of this?

Hello Diane Smiley,
The steps detailed below can help resolve this error and get your signed into iMessage.
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.

  • My ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. Help!

    my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
    confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!

    Then contact iTunes:

  • My apple id/password work on my iPhone, iPad and new iMac, except when I try to access the cloud, then it says the id/password are incorrect.   same id and password works on everything else.  Help

    my apple id/password work on my iPhone, iPad, and on my new iMac, except for the Cloud that says the id/password are incorrect.   works on all the other iMac apps, just not the cloud.  Help

    Go to settings>store and make sure the new apple ID is logged in at the bottom of the page.
    If not, log out of the old one and sign in with the new one.

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

    Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?

    Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
    You bought a device that can never function so get your money back.

  • Is my apple ID password my passcode for my iPad after ios 7?

    I have recently updated my iPad to the new os, (ios 7). When it turned on again it said I must input a passcode but I have never set one. I am woondering if it could be my apple ID password.
    On a side note, I have also tried to reset my iPad but it won't let me due me needing to enter a passcode.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    I am having exactly the same issue and tearing my hair out. I never set up a passcode, yet it has locked me out and insists on a passcode. I have tried all combinations and none were accepted, so I am also stuck.
    Itunes says it can't sync with it because it has been disabled. I followed online instructions to reset the IPAD by unplugging from computer and turning it off then using button below and plug it back in, restore factory settings etc which was another 1 hour downloading proces, but it made no difference, it still wants a passcode. AAARGH has anyone had any success gettting theirs unlocked? Mine is brandnew and never even been used...

  • Cant set up ipad cos it says my apple id password is wrong. ive reset it several times still wont

    I have a new ipad mini. I am trying to set it up and it asked for my apple i.d. I'd forgotten my password so I re-set it. The ipad said I'd put an incorrect one in again so I re-set it again and it still tells me I am using the wrong passcode. I can't get past this stage.

    In that same support article, use the section "Use Find my iPhone" instead of the iTunes option.
    Use Find My iPhone
    If you enabled Find My iPhone, you can use it to erase your device.
    Go to icloud.com/#find to see if you enabled Find My iPhone.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select your device and click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup of your device.

  • MacBook Pro says my password is wrong but I haven't changed it and my apple I'd says its wrong on the MacBook but works fine on the ipad, how can I log into my mac? Pls help urgently

    a virus/trojan/malware is not cross platform so they are 100% made for a device
    the day a virus/trojan/malware is discovered that works on any ios devices that are not jailbroken
    you will find it all over the news and all posts in this forum would be about that
    try login from the browser rather then the mail program and verify each account setting one by one to verify that they are correctly because an undocumented unwanted feature in the os of your phone could be the cause

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • I changed my sim on my iPhone n reconfigured iMessage, it configured with my number but when i sign in with my apple id it says username/password is wrong while in all other things like FaceTime, App Store it worked with the same id and password

    can anyone help me to solve this issue

    i just opened my ipad, started my apple account/I.D. and realized I put the wrong e mail. I was having trouble correcting my I.D on the Ipad so I went to my laptop and make the proper changes/slash e mail address I wanted for my apple ID. I got back to my ipad and try to download an app I can't because I have to sign in my apple account and I can't because it still has the irrelivant I.D/email address..
    So, i did what you said.. went to setting>app store> tapped on my e mail.. it asked me to sign in (with my invalid emails address showing). I signed in with the password I had created. It said "incorrect".. I went to reset password. I reset password, tried to sign in and it says again "unvalid password".. this is getting irritating.  I have been asking and no one knows what to do.

  • Facetime on my ipad does not recognise my apple id password after i have upgraded to iOS 6.1

    After upgrading my ipad to iOS 6.1, Facetime does not recognise my Apple ID password. The password works fine on the app store, I have even tried changing the password, but Facetime refuses to recognise the password, and therefore unable to activate. Has anyone else faced such an issue?

    The Connect to iTunes screen appears when something went wrong on your iPad or the update requires connecting your device to your computer running iTunes. Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Usually you will be guided through the process of getting your iPad running again. If not come back here for assistance.

    You've connected the iPad via cable to your computer, and your computer's iTunes is up-to-date ? If it's icon isn't showing then try one of these troubleshooting pages :
    PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
    If the iPad is disabled then you'll need to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, after which you can restore to your backup

  • IPad 3 says Wi-Fi password is wrong iOS 6

    I've tried typing in my password over and over but it still says its wrong. I've tried resetting my network settings, resetting location settings, hard resetting the iPad, turning Wi-Fi on and off, changing the HTTP to Auto but nothing works. It still says my network password is wrong (even though when I updated my iPhone 4 it didn't even disconnect from my Wi-Fi whereas the iPad 3 did
    I have the Wi-Fi only model.

    Doing a "Firmware Restore" on my iPad 3 solved the problem for me. This was recommended by the Apple Genius Bar.  I had already tried resetting the iPad, etc.  Also, my local wifi/router is an AirPort, and I had the same incorrect password symptom on other networks I had previously been able to connect to, prior to IOS 6 update.
    Simple steps for iPad 3 Firmware Restor:
    Connect iPad to iTunes
    Backup iPad in iTunes
    Reset iPad by pressing both the Home & the Power buttons for about 7 seconds
    As soon as the iPad disappears from iTunes, release the Power button but keep the Home button pressed
    After a few seconds, iTunes will prompt regarding Recovery Mode, etc.
