Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question.  Will not accept my apple id and password.  Will not save my changed password.  Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5.  Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen.  Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password.  Does not recognize apple id or password.  I change the password, does not save it.   Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access.  What do I do and where do I start?  I thought I should download the update to OS X.  I did that, still no change.  Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

  • I cloud will not accept my apple id and password. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

    There is a new security feature in iOS 7 called Activation Lock. You need the
    AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPad or it will be useless to you.
    There is no workaround.
    Suggest you try very hard to remember that AppleID and passcode. Did you try the
    AppleId you used to log into this forum?

  • Face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work.  Help!!, face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work.  Help!!

    Hi, Face time does not accept my Apple ID and therefore Face time does not work. Any suggestions?

    You might have some sort of interference or communication problem, I just wanted to check you were entering the right ID to begin with.
    If you are using the correct ID (without spaces), then you might try restarting the router or trying another wifi channel to eliminate interference.

  • And disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone

    My iPhone 4 is interpreting that the headset is conected even if it isnt. I've already reset it, conected and disconected the plug many times, but nothing has worked. I'm in Brazil and bought the phone in Canada. Does it have a garantee? Is there anything I'm missing in adjusting my iPhone?

    It may not be your computer telling you this, it is probably the company providing the shows to you over the Internet. If that is the case, no setting on your computer can change it because the media company is going by your network address (IP address), which is where your Internet modem (cable or DSL) connects to the outside Internet. If the location of your Internet connection appears to be outside the US (even if it is mistake), media companies that distribute shows under contracts with geographical restrictions may lock you out.
    If you use a service like a VPN service, you may have the ability to use IP addresses from other countries so that you can appear to be connecting from there. But it takes some setting up.

  • Why am I hearing commercials on iTunes radio when I have a match account?

    Why am I hearing commercials on iTunes radio when I have a match account?

    Hi, Kilowatts05.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you have subscribed to iTunes Match and you still hear commercials when using iTunes Radio.  The usual cause for this would be that iTunes Match is not enabled on the device that is allowing the commercials.  You also must be in the United States or Australia for this option to become available.

    Have you tried getting the password reset via http://iforgot.apple.com ?
    If you can't get your password reset via that page then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    What you mean by 'buy and create a new id', it's free to create iTunes accounts. But until you've logged out of your existing account, you won't be able to log into a new account.

  • Apple TV will not accept my Apple ID and/or password

    I cannot get Apple TV to accept my Apple ID and/or password. I reset the password and verified that I have the correct user name but still no luck.  Any advice?

    I finally went to General/Reset/Reset All Settings    Before I could get it to work. *****. I blame the latest update, but that's just because I have no other significant event on which to place the blame.
    Use case when mine got hosed; in case Apple is reading:  was watching a rented movie.  Paused it for an extended period of time (helping wife with groceries). While I was away it went to screensaver and eventually went to sleep. Upon return, I hit menu to bring it back to life and was greeted with the authentication error.   Bah!

  • IMessage does not accept my Apple iD and Password

    I have restored my iphone back to 2 days ago. After then when I want to log in iMessage, iMessage doesn't accept my Apple id and password. I know my Apple id and password. I can log in to itunes or icloud. Even to post this, I entered my apple id and password. But only iMessage doesn't accept it. Can someone kindly help me on this issue?

    There are some iMessage/Facetime issues judging from the many posts here today.    I would just sit tight and try again in a few hours.
    There was an article about it earlier if you'd like to read up on it:

  • Having lots of problems with my firefox. It does not download when I click unless I restart the firefox many times. It does not open a new windows. Help please!

    2 problems:
    1. Files aren't downloaded when I click download. It only downloads after I restart the firefox many times.
    2. New windows aren't being opened.
    Help please. I've encountered the first problem since way back, but it wasn't this severe, now the downloading is very limited as I have to restart firefox many many times.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Some security software is also able to block new window.
    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • ICloud is not accepting my Apple ID and password

    After setting up my Apple ID I attempted to create an iCloud account but, when entering my Apple ID & Password, it will not accept it. I may have set this up previously and forgot the info, but it doesn't allow me to check previous accounts. Any ideas?

    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

  • I can use my apple id and password to log in here, but they are not accepted to reinstall os on mac mini.  I've changed passwords, still no luck After 3 hours I'm ready to go back to windows!

    I can use my Apple ID to log in here but I can not use it to reinstall IOS on my Mini.  What gives this has been 3 hours.  I've changed the password twice, I can log into the forum but the App store say unknown error!

    What makes you think an Unknown Error has anything to do with your password....
    Also, a Mac Mini runs OSX not IOS. Be that as it may, a simple Google search would have led you to this support article for "iTunes Unknown Error":

    Hope you are able to find a solution!
