I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it. Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore. if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address. The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch. -

i am an IT manager for a bank. we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones.
We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in. He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes. I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.
Jenn McGlynni have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear. -
Hey Guys,
Using Excel 2010 with latest version of Powerpivot 2012 available 11.1.3129.0
For my SQL Server Data connections in Powerpivot I DO NOT have any issue, when clicking refresh it never asks me to enter a password and uses my Windows AD info.
However, for my plethora of other external data connections (Informix, Oracle, Etc...) that I would like to have fluid use within Powerpivot, big problems.
Lets start with Oracle. Below is a screenshot of my connection tab within Powerpivot.
So as you can see, all the details are entered and Allow Saving Password is selected. Now I will close out of Powerpivot and Excel completely and re-open. I will navigate to the Powerpivot tab
and select Powerpivot Window. And then will select to "Refresh All" and am quickly prompted with the "Data Source Credentials" window to re-enter my data source password, again.
What I have already tried. The above method for starters in which I use a connection string under Table Import Wizard --> Others (OLEDB/ODBC)... I found it the least annoying route, although
still have to re-enter password everytime, which is what I hope this forum can help with.
I also have tried doing a direct Oracle connection in Table Import Wizard but also does not eliminate my #1 problem.
I have also created an ODC file to try and use that with stored credentials within the file, also still asks for password each and everytime.
The same thing happens with my other data connections to Informix and DB2. So any help and/or suggestions anyone has would be great. I also cant upload these powerpivots to our powerpivot gallery
on SharePoint 2010, I have a sneaking suspicion it is due to the version of powerpivot I am currently using.
ThanksHi there,
My company is not using Excel 2013, only 2010. So that is what I have to work with. From what I have read this is a huge hole in the Powerpivot 2012 framework and is extremely frustrating. This seems so basic and simple and like something everyone using
this product would use, and yet it still doesnt work.
Great feedback. Connect is the right place for this feedback on 2010 as well. Thanks!

Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar.

Windows 7 How to unlock, and delete the necessity to enter password to start up computer?
Upon startup of computer, user name centered on screen, (the word LOCKED beneath it). How do I unlock, so it will start up without entering password?? Also, when I step away from the computer for a few minutes, when I return I must enter the password again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
To disable logon screen after screensaver:
Open Screen Saver Settings by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, clicking Personalization, and then clicking Screen Saver.
De-Select the On resume, require logon check box, set a time after which to start the screen saver, and then click Apply.
To remove windows password for user accounts:
Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the User Accounts and Family Safety link.
Click on the User Accounts link.
In the Make changes to your user account area of the User Accounts window, click the Remove your password link.
In the text box on the next screen, enter your current Windows 7 password.
Click the Remove Password button to confirm that you'd like to remove your Windows 7 password.
You can now close the User Accounts window.
Now that your Windows 7 account password has been deleted, you will no longer need to log on when your computer starts.
Your computer should now boot all the way to the Windows 7 desktop.

Installed Windows 8 on a late 2011 MacBook Air and was working fine now keyboard not working so cannot enter password? Caplocks key works but I am locked out on my own PC and cannot seem to get it to recognize built in keyboard,bluetooth,generic USB one.
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
I have just got the new 4s today, and plugged my old iphone 4 into my friends comp, for the first time, backed up my iphone,
then when i went to restore my new iphone 4s from the backup of my old phone, it said enter password, and when i looked the encrypt with password was ticked and it said to enter my password, but i have never put a password in, and never backed up my phone before,
how can i change the password if i never put one in, in the first place.
kimmy,. xIf you can't get the password correct, you CANNOT restore from that backup.
However, if you've been using your phone as recommended by Apple, there should be minimal data loss.
Your iTunes library is on your computer, so you can synch all your apps, music, movies, ringtones, etc, on to your new phone.
Similarly, contacts should be synched to Address Book, Outlook, or a cloud service for you to easily synch back to your new phone.
Pictures taken from your old phone and not synched to your computer are lost, but you would have been synching those photos to your computer frequently as recommended. Other photos that you synch TO your iPhone are still on your computer.

ITouch stuck in "iPod is Disabled" mode and I can not enter password, How do I correct this?
Hello and good day,
To who ever can assist me...
My little sister recently experienced the feeling of having her iTouch stolen from her @ school. Since the incident occured, two of her best friends located her iTouch and returned it back to my sister. When my sister attempted to turn the device on, she noticed that the screen that appeared showed her wallpaper, (which was a picture of herself) and the red box message at the top of the screen that indicated "iPod is Disabled"(below that statement states) "connect to iTunes"
So in seeing this message she connected the device to the family laptop. She proceed to open the iTunes program. Once the program was opened, she waited for the iTunes to read her iTouch. Once iTunes attempted to read the device the following error message appeared within iTunes stating:
"iTunes could not connect to the iPod "Delilah's iPod"because it is locked with a password. You must enteryour passcodeon the iPod before it can be used with iTunes."
With that error message coming up, the question then came to be, how do I enter my password if the Touch does not provide me that option to do so? The Touch is stuck in this "Disabled" mode and the screen that appears does not present option of entering password or anythihng for that matter.
With this issue, is there anyone out there that has experience this touble? Is there a solution, and if yes, could you please guide and advise us on what action to take? Unfortunatley, my sisters warrenty has expired. So i know that if the issue requires for us to take it in for repair that we may have to pay for the repairs services, but it would be worth it if I can see that there is or is not an answer for this problem.
Thank you very much for you time! =)
Sincerely,
Jefferson K. Tover
(big brother)Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How to compare Entering Password with existing encrypted pasword in APEX4.1
Hello everyone,
In my application am using the following package,
create or replace PACKAGE BODY app_security_pkg

IF UPPER(p_uname) = 'ADMIN'
THEN
lv_goto_page := 1;
ELSE
lv_goto_page := 2;
END IF;

RAISE;
END add_user;
-- Function to Perform a oneway hash of the users

WHEN OTHERS
THEN RETURN FALSE;
END valid_user;
END app_security_pkg;Here the ADD_USER Procedure will convert the password and stores into the app_users Table in encrypted form.
In my application the users can change their password,
so I need to compare the entering password in the Current_password field with the Encrypted password in the app_users table,
so I used the following code,
declare
l_x varchar2(30);
begin
select username into l_x
from app_users
where upper(username) = upper(:P7_USERNAME)
and password = :P7_CURRENT_PASSWORD;
return (true);
exception
when no_data_found then
return (false);
end;This code is working fine when the password is stored without encryption,but after encryption it showing error,
because the entering password is simply password and not encrypted so both are different even if the user enters right password,
Please tel me how to encrypt the entering password to compare with existing encrypted password.
Thank you,

gurujothi.Dear Sunil and vdotcherukuri ,
Thank you for your reply as per your suggestion I tried the following code and its working fine.

return (false);

Problem entering password sql plus in wnidows vista
hello,
after i successful installation in windows vista, i try run SQL Plus
when i try running SQL PLUS, i have to entered my username and password.
Entering my username is no problem. but when i try entering password, i cannot entering input password because no matter what i do, my password does not appear on the screen SQL Plus
Is something wrong about installation?
Please help me.Well, that is why it is called password. You do not want anyone to see it while you are typing, right? Just type in the password (you should see * for each typed password character) and hit enter. And if you are running non-gui version of SQL*Plus (in command window) you will not see any characters (even *) while typing password.
SY.
