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.

  • 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.

  • Apple ID Password not accepted???

    Hi, I've just replaced my iphone 4s. I backed up my content but everytime I log into my email account I'm being asked for my Apple ID password but when I type it in it doesn't accept it. I've noticed to that my old Hotmail Account which is closed is showing as my ID. I've reset my password but it still doesn't work.
    I can't see my photos saved to my photo stream and folders are missing from my apple email account.
    Any suggestions welcome

    Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.

  • Apple password not working in iCloud since I updates my email address. Still lists my old email but doesn't accept old password. How do I access?

    Apple password not working in iCloud since I updates my email address. Still lists my old email but doesn't accept old password. How do I access the cloud?

    To change the iCloud ID ("email") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.

  • Why is my user id/pw not accepted by ICloud on my iPad but it is accepted by iCloud on my computer?  I am using the same password for both.

    Why is my user id/pw not accepted by ICloud on my iPad but it is accepted by iCloud on my computer?  I am using the same password for both.

    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
    Now try entering the information again. See if it works now.

  • Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password

    Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password. Why it does not work?
    Web version is working fine.

    Hi there.
    Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
    I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
    I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
    So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
    Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
    Thanks!

  • Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

    when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

    I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

    Hello dstalk
    It sounds like you are being asked to setup Home Sharing. If that is correct, check out the article below. If the password is not working, verify that you can log in with it at appleid.apple.com and change it if necessary. If it for Netflix, check out the 3rd article for additional support.

  • HT4759 My apple id is not a valid Icloud account

    I have tried several times to login into iCloud but it will not accept my apple ID

    You can not create an iCloud account using Windows, you must create it on a Mac or an IOS device, then you can sign into it from a Winbox.
    The Mac must have Lion (10.7.4) or more and the IOS device must be at least IOS 5.
