Cannot log into YouTube native iPhone app

I have an existing YouTube account, and am able to log into that account via the YouTube website (in Safari and other browsers).
Before upgrading my iPhone 3GS to 3.0.1, I was logged into that same YouTube account via the native iPhone YouTube app. I signed in using the "sign in" button in the upper left corner of the interface.
Since upgrading to 3.0.1, I was no longer logged into YouTube in the app. I am prompted to reenter my YouTube credentials. I enter in the very same username and password that I use on YouTube proper -- those credentials haven't changed since long before I owned an iPhone. For what it's worth, the password only contains characters from a-Z and/or 0-9
When I enter my YouTube credentials on the iPhone, I receive this error: "Authentication Failed. Sorry, your login was incorrect".
I have restored my iPhone and it doesn't fix the problem.

FIXED IT!!! I found this solution on the youtube.com message board.
I have a gmail acct. I went to youtube.com under settings and changed my email address sp that I could link my YT acct to my google acct. Once it was linked, I signed in on my iphone app with just my gmail user name and password. It worked, but what I said in my previous post is no longer true. You tube got wise and the videos they removed no longer work on the phone. I swear they used to. I watched the whole twilight movie last year 10 minutes at a time on my phone from video that had been removed and was unavailable on the full computer site.
This didn't work for me. I have 2 Google accounts. Tried tying them both to my YouTube account. Neither allows me to login on the iPhone app. Anybody else having success with this method?

  • Cannot log into YouTube using iPad app

    Ok, I'm stumped. No matter what I try, I cannot log into my YouTube account using the iPad app.  I cannot login using the app on my iPhone either. I've tried the application specific password and that didn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

    Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. If that does nothing to solve the issue, then it is likely times to restore the iPad to its factory settings.

  • Cannot log into youtube or facebook apps

    As of this morning, I cannot log into my accounts on these 2 apps. This is in my home, using the same wifi network that my computer uses, where I'm able to access these accounts normally via my macbook. Everything else seems to be accessing the internet via wifi normally without problems.
    I understand youtube had some problems last night - maybe their mobile portal is still broken - anyone know?

    Oh - did a hard reset, it's working fine now. Not the most elegant fix, but it is an x.0 software version

  • Cannot log into YouTube

    Suddenly cannot log into YouTube. Using the latest sign in and double checked in on three different Macs but cannot log in using Apple TV, it just says username and password combo is incorrect.
    Anyone else found this ?

    Perhaps something in this older discussion can help you:

  • Cannot log into youtube account

    Hello
    my question is I cannot log into my youtube account on my iPHONE 4 keeps saying the username or password that I have entered is
    invalid BUT when I  get on my Imac and type in the EXACT same username and password I'm able to log into my account ??
    ANY THOUGHTS?? YOUR HELP WOULD BE GREATLY  APPRECIATED !!!
    Thanks

    Are you typing your Username or your email account? You can't log into the YouTube app with your email account, only your username.

  • No change to system. Suddenly cannot log into itunes store or App store using Apple ID. Itunes v12.1.1.2 osx 10.10.27

    OSX 10.10.2
    itunes 12.1.2.27
    AppStore V2
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)
    2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Made no changes to system.
    Logged into itunes today and it will not accept my Apple user ID, so cannot access store.
    All local music is visible and all local functions (sync with iphone/backup etc) work
    Same issue with AppStore, receive message cannot connect to app store.
    However, from Mac using either Firefox/Chrome/Safari browsers I can access iCloud (using same AppleiD), so ID seems ok
    I have confirmed credentials for itunes and app store by using my iphone 5 and ipad.  Both seems to work and connect
    I did have had some broadband (BT + BTHomehub2) issues last week, but now can access all public sites using FF and Chrome browsers, through Safari sometimes does refuses to connect, but if system is re-booted Safari works again.
    I have check date/ time settings.  I have check Apple Firewall is on but allows connections to itunes and appstore
    I have removed the following
    com.apple.itunes.plist
    com.apple.ituneshelper.plist
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.safari.plist
    networkinterfaces.plist
    com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
    com.apple.airport.perference.plist
    and rebooted.
    All entries are recreated successfully
    There are no duplicate entries or entries with strange extension to these plists
    Any advice or direction of where to look next would be appreciated

    Hey thanks b noir. That solved my problem! I ran the autoruns programs and the only suspicious programs in the winsock tab was Speedbit (a video accelerator program). As soon as I unistalled it iTunes started working properly again. It's strange because Speebit ran together with Itunes for quite a while without problems -  must've been a new update.
    I guess I'll never get back the many many hours I spent trying solve this problem...
    Good luck to everyone out there with similar issues. i hope this helps.

  • Since upgrading to OSX Mavericks I cannot log into the creative cloud app.

    I have tried deleting the app and re downloading, I can still use my adobe ID to log in via my browser but not through the app.

    Thanks but no joy. Still getting the same.

    Why can't I log into my Apple account from my iPhone?  My phone shows two apps needing updates and I've tried five times to log in.  I KNOW I'm using the right password and username, and can log in via computer just fine, but cannot log in to update my apps!  What's going on???

    It appears that the iTunes store is down right now.

  • Cannot log into iTunes and App Store since 6.1 update (iphone 5)

    I see many other of you having trouble with App Store in other discussions (App Store shows blank), me too.
    And I also cannot log into iTunes through Settings-->iTunes & App Stores. After putting in my Apple ID and password it just doesn't go anywhere.
    All of these started since I updated my iphone 5 from 6.0.2 to 6.1 yesterday. I've also updated my ipad 3 but it works just fine.
    Any one can help?

    Hi foxlolo,
    Have you tried doing a reset on your iPhone? Press the Home button and the Power button at the same time and hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. Once it has fully reset, try to log into iTunes again on your phone.
    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

  • I cannot log into Adobe Reader through my iphone using the Adobe ID and password which work on the w

    I cannot log into Adobe Reader through my iphone using the Adobe ID and password which work on the website.

    Hi Will,
    That's great that you could sign in now.
    I think issue you faced in signing was because email verification was not done before. And when you signed from web client, you might have received a note asking you to do verification. It solved the logging issues you were facing on iPhone as well.

  • TS3988 I cannot log into my icloud account from my iphone 4

    My apple id on my iphone is: my email
    and my apple id on my lap top is: different (not my email address)
    I cannot log into my iphone icloud account on my iphone, it says I have an incorrect user/password but I have no problem logging into my icloud account on my laptop.
    Could you please help with this?
    Thanks,
    Arleen

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

    I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.  The password does not have any special characters.  On my PC there is no problem.
    Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail.  I woould get a message, stating "Verification required.  Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com".  when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

    Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
    if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
    In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version).  After downloading it - open and sign in.  It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
    Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
    It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
    Hope this helps

  • Cannot log into iMessage on iPad

    Hi,
    Strange thing happening: I cannot log into iMessage using my appleid. I can use this same appleid to
    - buy apps on this very same ipad
    - sign in to iMessage on my iPhone (ios6) or mac (mavericks).
    The error my Ipad gives me is username / password not correct
    This is an ipad 2 16Gbyte 7.1.1.
    I tried to restart my ipad, restarted the iMessage app serveral times...
    Any idea ?!
    RUdi

    Tried all that.
    It is really weird, as the ipad having the issues is on the same network as the mac that works.
    the network (internet connectivity) just works (can surf, and buy apps (with the samen uid/pwd
    as appleID)
    The errormessage tells me that the username / password combination is wrong, nothing
    else, which is really weird. (really sure I have the correct UID/pwd ! (the one that works on
    the mac))
    the ipad is a wifi only one.
