Apple ID password not recognised

Cannot download apps or update iPhone 5 as constantly says applied password invalid. Can sign onto Apple with this password on laptop but not on phone. Why is this?  It's driving me insane!!!  Have tried resetting password multiple times but still the phone does not recognise the password. Any ideas?

I've updated an iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.2 and cannot successfully use the App Store App to download even a free app.  Because the phone is out of warranty, Apple support will not help.
I click on the App Store Icon, I search for a free app, hit the "Get" button, it thinks for a few seconds, and then asks me for my AppleID password.
I supply that (and I know its correct, because if I enter a honky one, that is immediately diagnosed), it thinks for a few seconds, then returns me to the screen with the "Get" button again.  Hitting the button just restarts the password inquiry over again with the same result.  No error indication occurs at all.
I don't see how it could be a problem with my internet connection(s).  I've tried it with or without wireless router, used Cell data only, taken the phone to a different wireless network, etc...   Could App Store app even ask for my password if there was a problem with my connection?
I've tried reanswering my AppleID security questions, updating my credit card information, and changing my password.  No help.  It doesn't appear to be an AppleID issue.  I've searched the internet, Apple's support forums, carried out Apple's tedious procedures for checking the connections, read the docs, etc...
Has anyone seen anything like this?   Any suggestions?

  • Apple id/password not recognised on new iphone

    My dad has been trying to set up his first iphone and it asks for his Apple id and password but each time he enters it it says its incorrect.
    We've been onto itunes on his computer and the password and id are accepted but it then asks him to complete some new security information (address, phone numbers etc). We do this and nothing happens. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

    Thanks for the replies.
    hes had the account a while. Never really used it though 
    I'll get him to give apple a call and see where we go from there
    thanks again!

  • My Apple TV does not recognise My iTunes password. It works on all other devices but not Apple TV? Any ideas why or how to fix?

    Any ideas why my Apple TV does not recognise my iTunes password, when all other devices, including these communities are good with it?

    Hi Mick2291,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'd suggest restarting, and then restoring, your Apple TV if the issue persists:

  • My apple tv is not recognising my apple id and password

    My apple tv is not recognising my apple id and password after this new update.
    Netflix is also don't let me play any movies.
    I already reset the equipment, network is ok because some features of of apple tv are working fine such as renting from Itunes, Radio, Podcasts.
    My apple computer is set for home share. Itunes is up to date with the last release.
    When I bought it was a easy set up and now is **** .
    I've tried everything beyond my knowledge to get this thing working,

    I'm using the latest itunes and a brand new 1080p Apple TV over a Linksys E4200 V2 network and having same issues. Just replaced my old apple TV with this new one yesterday.
    I got it to work for a little while yesterday by uninstalling Itunes the reinstalling but how many times do you have to do that?
    I can send pictures and video to Apple TV from my IPhone etc but not a chance with home sharing. Apple TV says turn home sharing on which it is.
    Already done a reset to Apple TV and still not working?
    Help!!

  • HT5624 Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.

    Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password.  My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it. 

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • HT204053 my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password what do i do?

    my apple tv does not recognise my apple id and password, what can I do?

    Hi goskii77,
    If you are having issues setting up your new Apple TV with your Apple ID, you may want to double check that the info is current and correct by logging into "Manage my Apple ID" as outlined on this page:
    Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
    If everything is confirmed as correct and working but your Apple TV still won't accept your Apple ID, you may want to try restoring it to factory settings:

  • 20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)

    20" Apple Cinema Display not recognised after upgrading to OS 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).
    Hello Apple! Anybody there? How long does your community have to wait for a solution?
    The same problem has been unsolved for months now. No statements from Apple either.
    I was told today to wait for 10.8.3. This might solve the issue. I can not belive my ears.
    My MacBookPro 4,1, Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GHz Processor and Graphics chip: NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, will not talk to the exter. 20" Cinema Display ( Model Number A1081 ). The screen stays black. Resetting the PRAM did not help. I removed the 'com.apple.windowserver.plist' and the 'com.apple.windowserver.OE35739etc,etcxxxxxxxxxxx.plist', but that did not help either.
    Any other solutions, or do I have to downgrade or give up on Apple Computers alltogether after using them for over 25 years?

    I found out that I needed a $100 mini displayport to dual-link dvi adapter to make my $30" cinema display work with my macbook pro
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB571Z/A/mini-displayport-to-dual-link-dvi-ada pter?fnode=51
    When I found out that solved the problem, I took it back because that was too expensive for a stupid adapter, and it still didn't work perfectly.

  • 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.

  • For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

    For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised  by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

    I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

  • Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?

    Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?

    Who knows?
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
    If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening.

  • Just purchase ipad3 trying to play from favorites in you tube but can't set up a play list, username /password not recognised, tried some apps like SoundBox but same issues, can anybody help?

    Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
    Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
    Can anybody help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks
