Apple ID username, password not correct for imessenger ios 6

i just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and imessenger is fine to send and receive but when i go to settings and try to register it with my apple ID i get an error that the username and password are not correct, although i am usung the apple ID fine in app store for example. anyone knows what this is?
also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

Hi again, well I can't answer that question, because  my computer IS asking for my apple ID and password to install Rosetta Stone. I would have appreciated you taking the time to help me, if you had had any advice for me. Since I posted this, I have found the answer so I don't need your time anymore, however. I eventually went to my settings and SET a password, which solved the problem. I recently reset my computer and all my records had been wiped- I was unaware that my computer settings had deleted my old password which had been saved on it- not realizing that its data would be seperate from the other numerous places I have used it the past week since I got it back. An answer that would seem like a no-brainer, but since it hadn't needed to be done until then for any other previous installs since the reset, it appeared last on my to-do list.

  • I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. It is correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac.

    I am getting the message that my email password and/or username is not correct. They are both correct! I am the only one who cannot send or receive emails...I am the only one using a mac. i use mac mail and it is my companies server. I took my computer and iPhone to the Apple store...4 hours later they said that couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.  Any suggestions???? I am also not able to log into the C-Panel...

    Same here! Happened yesterday to me on New iPad and iPhone 4S. On iPad I managed to correct it by removing the account and activating it again as an Exchange account...I have mail and calendar OK!
    On the iPhone nothing seems to  work!
    Facts:
    1. everything worked perfectly for years!
    2. I have the 2-step authentication deactivated  on my google account so it cannot be this one.
    3. On desktop everything works just fine, on iPad everything is OK with Exchange account added (after Google removed support for Exchange account access I CAN ONLY HAVE ONE DEVICE with Google Exchange account, so doing the same on the iPhone does not work!)
    4. Tried to remove and add the account again - no results.
    5. Tried to remove and add as Google, as Exchange, as Other account - I get calendar but no mail!!!
    6. Tried to reboot between remove/add accounts - no results.
    7. Tried to ("reset settings") reset the device - no results.
    8. Tried to add as POP account and I it worked - I get mail but I do not need POP as I am using zounds of mail with labels and need to be working on an IMAP account
    9. To make things even more complicated...I have another account which works perfectly!!!!!
    Anyone out there having a clue?

    Hi ,
    I am trying to create a new web app using Central Administration in Sharepoint 2010 and getting an error "The password supplied with the username  was not correct. Verify that it was entered correctly and try again".
    I tried running this command also "stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin <domain\username> -password <newpassword>" but when it got executed it showed me "Access Denied".
    What should i do ??
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards, Anurag

    HI,
    right click on command icon and click run as administrator then use above stsadm commend to update credential. If still you face same issue then try with powershell as mention in below link: (make sure that you open sharepoint powershell as run as administrator)

  • HT5361 Unable to send photos. Message...Username/password not combatible.

    Unable to send photos. Message...username/password not combatable. I'm computer dense...what next?

    Have a current backup before proceeding here.  Time Machine or otherwise.
    If no outbound messages are sent...  There are two different server definitions and two different places where you need a user and a password, the first and most obvious setting within mail is for receiving mail; the POP or IMAP setting.  Everybody gets that one.   To get to the credentials and the password used to send mail messages (the one that folks don't find as easily), Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to "Edit SMTP Server List", then find the Yahoo SMTP server entry, then fix the password there.
    Here's the Apple mail troubleshooting information.
    If that fails, remove the entry and re-add it.
    If smaller messages are sent correctly and larger messages are blocked, Yahoo may be restricting the size of the message(s) being sent.  Try smaller messages as a test, or use a file sharing service to transfer the images, or maybe wait for the OS X Yosemite Mail Drop feature.
    PS and FWIW, this message was originally posted in the OS X Server forum, and you're not running OS X Server here — OS X Server includes various network services, including a mail server — a mail server is what Yahoo is running here, but OS X Server allows folks to configure and run a mail server locally on a Mac Mini or some other Mac configured as a server.  Your MacBook Air would then connect into that server, in addition to or in place of the Yahoo server.  Like most other mail servers, the mail server within OS X Server can be configured to block larger messages, too.

  • In iPhoto, when i try to email a photo using "share", I keep getting"username/password" not recognized. It used to work automatically before.

    I cannot email  a photo using iPhoto "share. I keep getting "username/password not recognized". I used to use this function all the time but all of a sudden, I keep getting this message.

    In iPhoto, open Preferences (under iPhoto in the menu bar) and click the "Accounts" tab on top.  Make sure your email account(s) is/are set up there correctly, just as they are in Apple's Mail.  Make sure the password in included.

  • 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

  • IPhone/iTouch "password not correct" on home WiFi

    This problem reads like many others threads but I haven't really seen an answer - Do Apple Employees Administrate these forums??
    I have an iTouch and an iPhone 3Gs both now on os4 but this prob has happened through last 3 firmware versions.
    They both connect to the home WiFi, but wont remain connected and will ask for the WiFi Password followed by a Password Not Correct message. You can continue to input the password and occasionally it is accepted or you can power cycle the router but both are temp fixes as the Apple's will drop back off again (sometimes minutes later or hours later). I have exhausted my efforts with the router (firmware upgrades and every combination of security setting) Other devices (laptop, wii etc)don't have any WiFi issues. In saying that, the iPhone stays connected to the work WiFi no problems.
    I have tried WEP and WPA security. I've enabled MAC Address filtering which didn't help but after reading one of the threads I have disabled WiFi security and have MAC Address filtering enabled and it seems to be holding up (only attempted a couple of hours ago.) Is this a secure workaround or does someone know what I need to do? I'd prefer not to use this method as it's handy to let visiting friends/family use my WiFi.
    The router is a Linksys WRT54GP2 and the signal level is high throughout the house and always seen by the Apple's
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    The iPad purchase is next if I can get an answer (a mate has brought his around and had the same problem) - so come on Apple employees, put your heads together!

    Yeah you aren't the only one. I have the same router, and my iPod, dads iPhone, and 2 other apple macbooks always had troubles with the router. A temp fix would be restarting the router, but keyword here is temp.
    Unfortuantely we cant use custom linux firmware as per http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
    My router firmware version is
    Firmware Version: 1.30.05
    I recall I upgraded from version 1.00 ages back but that did nothing.
    Anyway I shall try google around for more solutions, I'll get back to you if there is a fix.

    You have to configure Gmail to allow access to less secure apps. Thunderbird uses the IMAP-protocol, but Google thinks it isn't safe enough.
    Go to your browser and login to Gmail. Now click on your profile picture and click Account. Go to the Security tab and click on Settings for Access for less secure apps under Account Permissions. Enable it and Thunderbird should have access to your email...
    BTW This is totally safe. There's no need to scratch behind your ear about changing this setting

    By the way, there is no mystery in that technology : for serious photography work (on calibrated and commonly large displays like 1920 * 1200) the best it will be able to do is to be on par with semi-pro displays currently used for retouching. On the contrary, for displaying on smartphones or tablets, the resolution factor is important.
