AppleID password doesn't sync.

I recently bought a Mac and have had nothing but problems with my AppleID. It requested that I make a new user name upon inital start up which means I had to get rid of my original ID that I've had for years! Secondly, I tried to sync everything to my phone but it keeps asking for my password. I have inputed my password and it says incorrect ID or password. I have done everything in the settings of my phone and even resorted to reseting my password several times. When I go into passwords or to do anything with my password on my computer, everything works fine...BUT when I go into using my iPhone or to get apps, my password doesn't work. Please help.
Thank You,

Do you mead sign into the Apple on-line Store or into iTunes from  your computer (what you are doing on the phone to update and purchase apps)?  These are 2 different things and can have different ID and or passwords.

  • Password doesn't sync

    My password keeps getting rejected on my Mac and iPhone for iCloud. I've reset it, and it works on icloud.com, but fails on local devices..... along with multiple address book entries and contacts, iCloud is raining on my Apple experience

    Passwords can only be synced if you are logged on to the software security device (i.e. the Password Manager is working), so it sounds that you aren't logged on for some reason, possibly because the MP has expired.

  • I have forgotten my appleID password and the email it is linked to is deactivated, security questions aren't working. This is on my iPhone and iTunes acs so I can't sync with my new computer. How do I merge AppleID accounts and shut down the old one?

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

    Does the username and password you try to use have administrator privileges? You must input an admin username and password to install. 

  • TS4268 iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password.

    iMessage doesn't work anymore suddenly. It claims that my apple id had changed, which isn't the case (App Download still working!) . Then it shows the correct Email-adress and asks for appleID password. After entering it switches to a mask witch asks for the eMail adress that should be used. There is the right One already preentered. From there it switches back to the former mask (appleID +password) and nothing happens. If you say Log in again, ist just switches between those masks without showing an error claim nor logging in. Strange thing is ist worked proppperply till a few days ago.......

    Hello there Noregret35,
    I suggest this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps.
    Here is step 1 to get you started.
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Reset my AppleID password, but the iTunes Store doesn't recognize it.

    I reset my AppleID password, and it works fine to purchase apps directly from my iPhone. iTunes, however, will not let me log into the iTunes Store using the password; the dialog box to enter your username / password just keeps coming up.
    I've tried quitting and relaunching iTunes, and restarting the computer (MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Intel Core i7, OSX 10.9.3).
    Any ideas how to get iTunes to recognize my AppleID password?

    Hello Brian,
    Based on your post, it seems you cannot connect to the iTunes Store with your Apple ID. I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes Store issues:

  • How can I set the Reminders app so that it does not shown my AppleID password as the header for my lists on my desktop or laptop screen?!?

    My Reminders app which I sync with iPad shows my AppleID password as a heading for my lists when I have it open on my screen of my laptop or desktop. The iPad does not reveal the password the same way. Desktop is not so worrisome, but I don't understand why this would happen and is especially weird if I have the app open in public on my laptop.  Is this a default? What do I do to make sure the list does not show by password?  I understand that sharing the Reminders via the iCloud may cause a need to show what Reminder lists are being shared between a device and laptop, but why not a user name instead of the PASSWORD!!!?

    Where in the Reminder's window are you seeing the password.  Here's what my Reminder's window looks like?
    That's Reminders V2.0 on 10.9.4.

  • Mail for Exchange 3.0.50 - doesn' t sync Gmail any...

    I have been using successfully Mail for Exchange v. 2.9.158 on my Nokia N95-1 to access Gmail and Google Calendar. Yesterday I have upgraded to Mail for Exchange v.3.0.50 and now I am facing the following problems: 1.When running Full Resync Mail for Exchange has forced the set storage destination for message to be changed from Memory Card to Phone Memory When I tried to make Full Resync with Mail for Exchange it at the end it forced to switch from using Memory card for storing messages to Phone memory. According message has been displayed stating that Memory card can not be used to store emails and therefore it switched to Phone memory. However at that moment there was enough extra space on both kinds of memories , and that one on Memory card was larger than available space on Phone Memory. I do not want to use Phone memory to store my emails as N95 Phone memory is so small. So then after Mail for Exchange finished a synchronization cycle I have switched again to Memory card option as a destination of all my messages - and Mail for Exchange has created MfE on Memory card too. I made few attempts, by disabling Email sync and then running Full Resync again, the result was the same/ After that I started to experience problem with synchronization that I never had with version 2.9.158. 2. Synchronization of email except starting Full Sync and few cycles afterward doesn't work anymore and provides on each synchronization cycle an error message "sync failed. If that continues please contact your administrator". When I switch storage to Phone Memory, however, evn with such message sync work. When I switch storage to Memory Card then after sync cycle there are all IMAP folders in place but all empty. My configuration setting now set as following: Connection Exchange Server: m.google.com Secure Connection: Yes Access Point: DTAC-Internet Sync while roaming: No Use default port: Yes * Credentials Username: [my email] Password: [my password] Domain: [empty] *Sync schedule: Peak sync schedule: Every 15 minutes Off-peak sync schedule: Every 15 minutes Peak start time: 08:00 Peak end time: 17:00 Peak days Mo. Tu, We, Th, Fr In case of conflict erver Wins *Calendar Synchronize Calendar: Yes Sync Calendar back: 6 months Initial Sync: Keep items on phone * Tasks Synchronize Tasks: No * Contacts Synchronize Contacts: Disable Initial Sync: * E-mail Synchronize Email: Yes E-mail address : [my email address] Show new mail popup: Yes Use signature: No Signature: None When sending mail: Send immediately Sync messaged back : 1 day How I can resolve it problem?

    UP!
    I have absolutely the same trouble.
    When I sync gmail for the first time everything goes clear. After that I CAN recieve NEW mail on my phone on next syncs. I mean NEW is the mail, that haven't been read before with any other client.
    But if I read this mail on other client, say in browser, the synchronization doesn't work anymore. I recieve no mails from that point.
    Regards.
    P.S. went back to 2.9.158, everything works well

  • E-mail doesn't sync automatically after installing...

    I'm using an e-mail address under my personal domain in my N8. Everything worked well when using Symbian Anna but now after installing Belle - there's a problem: e-mail doesn't sync automatically.
    When I set my e-mail box up will the sync work for few times just fine. But then it stops working. Manual-sync works fine and there's not a single problem. I have tried to re-set the box again and again but in the end it's always the same: syncs automatically few times but then it stops working.
    Any ideas what to do?

    I've managed to get sync working again without a reset...
    Went into Mail.
    Deleted all my e-mail accounts.
    Exited the Mail application.
    Turned off the mobile.
    Removed SIM.
    Turned on the mobile.
    Went into Mail.
    Went into settings, confirmed there was nothing there.
    Tried to add a new account, I was only offered Exchange ActiveSync.
    Exited the Mail application.
    Turned off the mobile.
    Held power button for eight seconds (mobile vibrates 3 times and turns off).
    Put the SIM in.
    Turned on the mobile.
    Went into Mail.
    Went into settings, set up one e-mail account.
    As I'm not interested in Nokia Mail and I want a direct connection, I did the following to set up the account...
    Put a false address and password in because I want a direct connection to Yahoo but if I choose Yahoo then I get Nokia Mail's version.
    Chose POP3/IMAP.
    Rejected the terms and conditions.
    Put the settings in manually.
    Went back into the settings and chose a syncronisation period of 15 minutes.
    Deleted the e-mail widget (I'm not interested in it).
    Confirmed it was working by sending myself an e-mail from another address.
    Does it work for other people?

  • Resetting AppleID password without email

    A friend lost (stolen?) both her iPad and doesn't know her Apple ID password.  The process for resetting the password requires an email loop, which means an email regarding account setup & access can be received by the lost iPad - NOT GOOD!  Once her AppleID account access is restored, she wants to use Find My Phone to find the lost iPad.
    So how to reset AppleID password without exposing confidential info via an email to an AWOL iPad?  Can it all be done on an Apple web site?  She is way too far from an Apple Store to go in for this.

    Apple ID security issues -
    Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an
    Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account
    holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a
    time convenient to you.
    1. Go to www.apple.com/support

  • Itunes 9 not remembering my AppleID password, got de-authorized

    Why isn't Itunes 9 remebering my AppleID password for purchases (even though I have checked the box asking it to do so)?
    Today, when I synced my iPhone to my PC, iTunes 9 said that my PC was not authorized and I had to re-authorize it with my AppleID password. Why did that happen?
    Thanks.
    Aloke

    Hey Aloke!
    It's happening to me too since I upgrade to iTunes 9.0. Previous versions of iTunes actually remembered my password for purchases. I guess the added security is nice, but it's forcing it upon us whereas before we had the choice.
    Eitherway you look at it though the +_CHECK THIS BOX To Remember Your Password for Purchases_+ is just not working.
    +*I'm using a PC, and I saw one other person having the same issue on a PC. Anyone getting this problem on a Mac?*+
    Thanks,
