Apple password issues

i have  my apple id but forgotten password and security question answers, my contact email addresses are not receiving the emails requests with option  to change password, what shall I do?

Hi Julie.
If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

  • Upgraded to yosemite and now having password issues and slow start up

    I have upgraded my macbook pro to the OS X Yosemite operating system and now encountering start up and password issues.
    Previously on start up my system would go to the log on icon within 10 to 15 seconds of pushing the on button. Now there is horizontal loading indicator bar appearing and takes about 30seconds to 1 minute to go away before getting to the log on screen and if I click on my icon the system goes live on screen without having to put in a password which is an obvious security issue.
    I have tried adding a password however each time I try to put my old password in it tells me it is the wrong one.
    I am operating Yosemite 10.10.2 on a macbook pro with 8gb memory with i7 processor..
    The computer was running perfectly ok before this up grade so I had resisted previous prompts to upgrade due to the bad press this system was getting last year. I thought Apple would have had this all sorted by now??
    I  would appreciate any help if anyone knows how to resolve these issues.

    Install the version of Java they want from here: Java for OS X 2014-001
    See if CS 5.1 launches.
    If not reinstall CS5.1 and any updates.

  • Can't install due to password issue

    I've reset the password 3X and still can't download due to password issue. Help!

    This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
    If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt.  If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
    If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
    If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

  • I purchased a used I Pad and cannot access facetime. I have email address and Apple password but nothign happens. please advise

    I purchased a 3rd generation I Pad ios6.0.1.  I have been unable to use facetime.  I put in email and then apple password, hit next and it takes me back to the same screen.  I also have not been about to use I think it is messaging.   I have been online, purchased music from I-Tunes, can do email. No luck with facetime.  Please advise.  I am new to using a tablet.

    If you have purchased a used ipad, and you think there may be a possibility of previous owners info on it, then restore it as new. Your issue can probably be resolved without that, but I would recommend it.

  • Upgraded to Leopard now password issue

    OK I upgraded to Leopard on my G5 and cant log in with my password . I have read this forum and tried some of the related password issues when upgrading to Leopard . I can only log on when I use the root password I created , I think that the main issue with this is in the keychain . How do I disable the whole log in password so That when I turn the computer on it just boots up with out a password as it did before I did the upgrade .
    Thanks Mike...

    You can use the Leopard upgrade disc to reset the passwords. Follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    To start up in a user account rather than with a login, go to System Preferences -> Accounts. You should be able to change the pull-down menu next to "Automatic Login" to be one of the users or the administrator. This will require you to unlock the little lock and enter your password--which you may need to reset as noted above. Good luck!

  • Hi, my apple password keeps reinitializing alone ... each time I have to reset it why is that ?

    Hi,
         Well I think everything's in the title ..
    Sometimes, let's say every 2 weeks, I receive an e-mail saying that my apple password has been changed and I can't connect to the apple store anymore ..
    Then I have to reset my password and 2 weeks after I get the same message ...
    Thanks,
    M Berger

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

  • Possible solution to wi-fi password issues in OS X Lion

    Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this forum post.
    In this post, I shall be outlining the possible solution to the wi-fi password issues that have surfaced in Lion, and will no doubt be fixed by Apple in an coming update. This is sort of a temporary thing that I found to work.
    To backtrack in regards to the previous operating system, Snow Leopard, if you wanted to password protect your Wifi connection for example, in regards to sharing the internet connection between, for example, between your Mac and your Ipad, you were able to go into Sharing, Internet Sharing and click on Airport options and set a password.
    For the moment this appears to be absent.
    Instead, you now have to click on Wi-fi options and what now appears is something along the lines of asking to input a ASCII/HEX password.
    At first this seems puzzling and at first, I reinstalled Snow Leopard due to this obvious ommision in regards to the previous method, and like everybody else has said, Internet Sharing worked perefectly well in Snow Leopard.
    However, I decided to install Lion once again and try to figure out a solution and as such, I came across this website
    http://www.andrewscompanies.com/tools/wep.asp
    What the above website allows you to do is get a WEP key, which can be used in the Wi-fi options settings within Internet Sharing.
    You simply click on the middle option on the webpage (which I did), to select 128bit key and copy and paste the HEX key, which appears under the section marked Generated Keys, into the password input section of Wi-fi options
    This is where another problem arises. If you are sharing the internet connection between your Mac and your Ipad for example, the following steps need to be taken in order for this connection sharing to work
    1.When you boot up your Mac, go to System Prefrences, Sharing, untick and tick the Internet Sharing checkbox and click Start on the dialog that appears.
    2.Now on your Ipad, go to the Wi-fi tab, find your wireless network and click on the arrow next to it, click on Forget this network, go back to the Wi-fi screen again and tap on your Wi-fi network once again. It will now ask for your password. TYPE IN THE KEY. The connection between the Mac and the Ipad is established.
    THE ABOVE STEPS WILL NEED TO BE DONE IF YOU TURN YOUR MAC OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON AGAIN.
    As I've said previously, this should be a good temporary solution until Apple comes out with an update that can solve this issue
    Thank you for your time

    Had the same problem (random WiFi disconnects), but AppleCare solved it.
    Delete Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration.
    You'll have to reconnect WiFi, but pswd etc should still be there.

    I changed my apple password and now FaceTime won't recognize it. Says apple id or password is wrong, what need I do?

    Hello solarkey,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with logging into FaceTime after updating your Apple ID password. 
    First, I recommend toggling FaceTime off and then back on:
    Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
    Additionally, you can click on your Apple ID in FaceTime > Preferences to sign out and sign in with your new password if you have not entered your new password.

  • POP server rejected password issue

    I have searched for days and tried every "fix" I could find on these boards to correct the POP rejecting my password issue that apparently alot of new Leopard users are experiencing. This was not an issue with my Tiger, only started after the leopard archive install I did.
    What does it take to get Apple to address an issue this widespread? Is there any way to get it to them so they are aware they need to fix this?
    In my reading I discovered this happened in Tiger as well and that was corrected.
    I guess I am trying to find out how to get Apple invovled in fixing this.
    Thanks,
    Don
    P.S. the fixes I have tried are too many to list but were all previously posted here in this topic.

    Does this help (temporarily?)
    This might be due to one of Leopards most serious bug.
    The one that makes Mail randomly switch setting in "Account<Advanced<Authentification"
    from "Password to APOP"
    If the setting has been changed to APOP you will be asked for a password.
    Change back to Password and all is well until the next time Mail suddenly and unexpectedly changes the setting all by itself.
    But of course, this depends on what settings your provider is using.
