  • My iphone has me locked out it won't accept my password

    I woke up this morning and my Iphone won't accept my password. I've been disabled for over an hour. Of course Apple want me to pay them money for assistance or deal with the chaotic mayhem of driving 40 miles to an Apple store.

  • ITunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?

    iTunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?
    And no matter how many times nor what I change the password to I cannot log in to purchase music.
    Help!

    I tried "resetting" my password, but b****y iTunes just keeps asking me for ANOTHER password, and won't accept the password I want to use! I'm getting mighty fed up with iTunes - I'm a senior citizen, and my memory isn't as sharp as it might have been, so passwords HAVE to be fairly simple and OBVIOUS to me. I can't just keep thinking up new passwords because they are getting more and more irrelevant, and I will NEVER remember them.
    What am I supposed to do now?
    I can't use my iPhone when I'm out of the house, because it won't recognise my new email address and password. I can't use BTFON because it needs my password, which I can't get iTunes to accept.
    I can't get the bloody thing to do anything, and although it cost me £600 when I bought it 2 years ago, I'm not very happy with it any more because I just can't get the thing to do anything.
    HELP!!!!

  • I-phone 5 crashed durning software update.  Now won't accept backup password.

    Just tried to update software on i-phone 5.  A backup was made.  Something crashed durning update and my only option to move forward was to restore the phone to the original settings.  Now it won't accept my password to reload the backup; however, the password works elsewhere.

    Boot from your system install DVD, run Disk First Aid from your Disk Utility and repair your permissions.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • Mavericks won't accept my password and I can't authenticate any actions

    Following my recent mishap (https://discussions.apple.com/message/25466460#25466460), I successfully reinstalled Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.
    Here's the new problem. It won't recognize me as the administrator. I'm the only account in my laptop, and when I try to authenticate any changes in the system preferences, I type my admin account and password, but it won't accept it! The password hint even shows up, but it still won't accept my password!
    What really bothers me is that whenever the window opens, the Name: part is empty. Before, my account name is automatically there, and all I need to do is to enter the password! I am super super worried right now, because I don't want to reinstall Mavericks again.
    Thanks!
    P.S. On a side note, I was not able to oversee the completion of the reinstallation. I was out during the last few hours it was being reinstalled.

    more details about my problem:
    following the reinstallation, I just wanted to check if the system file I had messed around with (the one mentioned in http://idevicedailys.com/os-x/howto-use-candybar-os-x-mavericks/) was still okay. But this shows up:
    I tried using other sudo nano commands like sudo nano /etc/hosts but the same result happens. Please, I am super super desperate!

  • My new Smart TV recognizes the the wireless address, but won't accept my password....what's going on?

    My new Smart TV recognizes the the wireless address, but won't accept my password....what's going on?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes store won't accept my password

    Just changed ISPs (from Orange Wanadoo to BTInternet. Had the 'engineer' come out and do all the connecting stuff because I ALWAYS get it wrong.
    He said he had connected everything and all would be OK.
    But it isn't.
    I wanted to check email on my iPhone, and it wouldn't. Took my phone to an O2 shop (where I bought it from) and bloke there got it going eventually.
    Back home, I want to download the BTFON app, but when I enter my iTunes password, it is rejected.
    Can't understand what is going on, and getting very, very angry with it because virtually nothing works like it did.
    Can anyone PLEASE tell me what to do to get my iPhone to accept an app download from iTunes?
    Many thanks,
    Bill

  • HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept  my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use  and can not be access

    I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address  and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

    What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

  • I'm trying to sync my firefox and it won't accept my password.

    Firefox Sync won't accept my password and when I tried to reset it I keep getting hung up on the "An unexpected error occurred. If this continues, please contact support." response after filling out the "Reset Password" fields. I wan't to sync Firefox for this pc. How can I get around this?
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == Today: Wednesday 28 July 2010

    I solved the problem. Apparently, when I tried to sign up in sync the first time, it didn't go through. All I had to do is re-apply. I used the same username and everything (that's how I know it didn't go throught the first time). My Firefox is now synced and there are no further problems.
    P.S.
    If only I could sync my Firefox bookmarks, calender and notes with Opera, Safari and Chrome. That'd be great. I like using different browsers for different purposes. When I need the browser to disappear so all I see is what's in the window, Opera works best. Firefox can't disable the tool-bar "Auto-hide" feature in full screen mode. And Safari doesn't have a Hot-key for full-screen. At least not that I've seen.

  • IMac running 10.5.8, me email won't accept my password. One day it worked normally, next day it won't and I did not change password. Now I cannot reset the password, almost as if it was changed by someone else. I am the only user of this iMac.

    My email won't accept my password, was working fine, then one day it wasn't. It is almost as if someone else changed the password and now I cannot use my password or change it to a new one. My iMac is running 10.5.8 , using Earthlink and Safari. Any ideas on this problem?

    Are you using the Mail client or Safari to access your email?
