When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

Itunes will not accept my apple id password in the store.

when I enter the store in itunes 11.0.1, a message popps up telling me to enter my password to enable automatic downloads. When I enter the correct password, the same message pops back up instantly. If I enter the wrong password, it tells me so in red. I can not do anything with the store, because it will not accept my account. I can purchase on other devices with the same account and password with no problem.

You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account. Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer. Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

My iPad will not accept my ID and Password

Any help would be appreciated

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

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.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sigh Out of the Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Remote device will not accept the connection

Oh Windows 8...
I've been having computer issues for a while now, but I always figured it was the application I was using to access the internet. I first noticed an issue when trying to log into World of Warcraft. There was an obvious connection issue, but I could still
connect to my account. I contacted Blizzard about it, and nothing they told me to do helped me. This has been going on for nearly a month. Today, after not playing for a couple days, I realized I couldn't access the game at all. I blamed Blizzard again, and
became frustrated with them because none of their solutions ever helped me.
Today, instead of playing WoW, I tried to play Sims 4, which requires you to launch Origin, an application that uses the internet. Origin wouldn't let me connect either. A similar error to the one I experienced with World of Warcraft and its starter program
(BattleNet) appeared. Again, I blamed the provider of the application.
Still bored, I tried launching Steam, yet another gaming application that requires internet use. No, yet again I received a similar error to the other two. By now I figured it was an issue with the computer itself. I launched a connection test and it told
me that the "Remote device or resource will not accept the connection".
I tried launching Internet Explorer. I got the message that the "proxy server is not responding". I'm beyond frustrated. Thank god I also have Firefox installed, so here I am.
I looked up possible solutions to my issue. All the possible solutions I've found are only about Internet Explorer, and none of those solutions have helped anyone else with my issue.
So I guess it's on your end here. I have no use for this computer at all at this point. Help me out, please. I just recently bought this computer and I don't want to have to purchase another one to get away from Windows/Microsoft.

Hi,
This issue can be caused by proxy settings or malware.
I suggest you to disable proxy settings. Follow these steps:
Under "Tools" in the browser tool bar select "Internet Options".
In the "Internet Options" window that pops up, click the "Connections" tab at the top.
Click "LAN Settings" near the bottom of the "Connections" section.
If the "Proxy server" checkbox is marked with a check, click it to deselect/uncheck it.
Click "Ok" to close the "Local Area Network (LAN) Settings" window.
Click "Ok" to close the "Internet Options" window.
Now check if you are able to connect to Internet Explorer.
You can download and run the Windows Malicious Removal Tool from the below mentioned link and run it on your computer:

Hope these could be helpful.

ITouch says connect to iTunes, itunes will not accept it due to password.

My iPod touch has a screen with a USB cable pointing twards the iTunes logo, and I assume that means to connect it to iTunes. When I hook my iPod up to my computer, however, iTunes gives me a message saying "iTunes cannot access this device because it has a passcode lock on it." The problem is, however, that I cannot type the password in on my iPod, because it will not move from the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

Bump. Help needed PLEASE.

Login screen will not accept special characters in password

So, I have a domain account that has a password that contains the character created by pressing ctrl and Backspace key. I have found that if you attempt to type that character at the windows login screen, it will not recognize that. If you remote desktop
to the pc from any version of windows, it will allow you to type in that character and logs in fine. If you went to change a local users password by using the Computer management mmc, it will allow you to enter that character.
How is it possible that this was overlooked, and is there a likelihood of it being fixed?
I'd like to point out that this occurs in windows 8.1 also. I have a large base of bilingual users that have Spanish and other characters in their passwords that have worked up until now.

Hi,
If i understand you correctly, you could not type the special character at the windows login screen in windows 8.1, but remote desktop could. Am i right?
According to my test, the same result.
So i think you could remote to the pc and change the password:

TS1398 downloaded iso 7 & itunes 11.1 i phone will not accept icloud or itunes password or onnect to my router

down loaded iso 7 i phone will not connect to router or accept my i tounes password

Agree about the disaster part. I haven't found a fix within iTunes.
I gave up and switched to downcast 2 days ago. Even though it was a hassle to re-subscribe to all my podcasts, im so much happier.
To make switching easier, I found that in iTunes you can "get info" on the podcast and copy the RSS address to the clipboard. Put all of these in a message note. When iCloud syncs the note to your phone, you can copy and paste the urls into downcast one at a time to subscribe.
Downcast has crashed on me occassionally when I'm subscribing to feeds, but so far it has recovered gracefully each time and no data was lost.

Intitial setup will not accept apple id or password

Just purchased an iPad 4 64 g with wifi, going throught the configuration process and cannot get past the Apple ID login. I get an error stating "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" I have reset the password and am using the correct Apple ID.
Help

Why don't you skip that step until you get the iPad activated and then troubleshoot it after the iPad is usable? You do not have to enter your Apple ID and password during activation, unless you are trying to restore from the iCloud backup.
The backup will still be there to restore from anyway after you activate. It is tied to your Apple ID. Your password is tied to your ID, but the password can be changed without having to create a new Apple ID and you do want to continue to use the current Apple ID.
Have you tried restarting the iPad and just start all over again?
IMO - resetting the password can cause problems so don't do that over and over again if it didn't work the first time.

Mozilla Login will not accept my ID and Password

I have attempted several times to log into my account under another name and e-mail address. Even after resetting the password there are messages about there is already an account with that name and e-mail address or type in the correct name an password using appropriate case. I have questions concerning files for exempted sites--I've exempted certain sites (allow or block) but they don't show up in the list. Can't ask those questions without an account but your system continues to block my access.
