Frequent requests to login in to Apple ID followed by Security lock-out
I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad 2 (not air). My son has an iPod that is connected with the family sharing option. Over the last month or so, I've been frequently—and I mean FREQUENTLY, almost every day—been asked to enter my Apple ID password. That would be frustrating enough, but then, after I enter it, it pops up again and again and again until it tells me my password is wrong. I can tell you with 100% certainty that I have entered the password correctly more than once in a string of those pop-ups and it continues to happen as I described. And, when I then go to reset my password, I'm given the option to "unlock" my password which requires me entering security questions and my password, which it readily accepts as correct and unlocks my password.
Most of the time, I will then go to use my devices after that and the password will then work for a while until the cycle starts again a day or so later.
I've talked to Apple Support and they told me the only reason I'd be getting locked out of my account is if someone has tried to enter my password too many times, but from my end, I would be the only person that would be trying to enter it. And that doesn't solve why its not accepting my password that I know for a fact to be correct when asked to sign in.
As added information, I did completely reset my password about a week ago and it still continues to happen with the new password. Also, when I then sign on to once of my two Mac computers (iMac and Macbook Pro) they prompt me to enter my password twice and then verify the security code from my credit card in iTunes.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
I am having a similar problem. My account has been disabled, I have changed the password and spoke with tech support and they said i would have to talk to someone about why my account was disabled before it ca get fixed.

HT204074 Why did apple set a 90 day lock out to apple devices?
Why did apple set a 90 day lock out to apple devices? I bought my dad a new iphone 5s. He decided to give me his old iphone 4s but i cant download my purchased programs from my apple ID. I got a notification saying that the phone is associated/identified with another apple ID then automatically locked my apple id for 90days. I dont understand why they had to set a 90 day timer.

No one can tell you why Apple makes the decions that they do and discussing their decisions/policies is not allowed here. -
Sleep grayed out in apple menu. MBPro stopped locking out.
I have a MBPro we've been labbing with to utilize profile manager. After I transitioned some of the login screen preferences from workgroup manager to profile manager the client system/MBPro no longer will lock out when the lid is closed even though it's enabled under the security settings. The MBPro no longer has any profiles/mdm on it. I also noticed in the apple menu the sleep function/command is grayed out so you cannot select that option to make it go to sleep at all. Pre Mavericks I would assume one could dump the com.apple.systempreferences.plist, however it appears to not be so easy in mavericks. Any ideas for a quick fix on this? Thank you.
Additional info. When pressing the power button to sleep the system this error comes up:
4/14/14 10:45:15.950 AM loginwindow[83]: ERROR | SleepSystem | IOPMSleepSystem returned error: -536870174
followed by this when selecting the sleep option. (the system does nothing when selecting sleep)

When i try to login with my apple id i keep on getting error saying "We could not complete your itunes store request. An unknown error occured(-50)." I get this error everytime i try logging into my account. But still i can access to the iTunes store. I had recently downloaded this iTunes software into my new windows 8.1 laptop so i think it is up to date. I have earlier used this apple ID into another iTunes conneted to my older PC(I haven't logged out from it yet.Could that be the problem?).
Ok.
Seems this is a well known problem.

Why can't I login into my Apple account without being forced to change my password.
I received an email from Apple:
"The following changes to your Apple ID (xxxxxxxxxxxx) were made on 01 January 2015 at 17:52:54 (GMT):
Shipping and/or billing address.
When I log on to check my Shipping and Billing address I am prompted to change my password, which I do NOT want to do.
I cannot go any further than the forced password change screen.
How do I check my account details without changing my password?
I am not happy with being forced to change my password. it almost makes me wonder if I have been redirected to a 'scam' site.How are you trying to log into your account ? You can log into an account :
- via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com
- Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes
- tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device
All three let you view and/or change your billing address, though only the last you let you view payment details. You could try one of the other methods and see if they let you login without requesting a password change.
This page lists the current requirements for passwords : Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to check your account's purchase history then you can do so via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com -
"Sign in to facetime" keeps appearing, and requesting a login
"Sign in to facetime" keeps appearing, and requesting a login. If I press CANCEL it immediately re-appears - less than 1 second interval, so very difficult to do any other operation in that time.
Additional issue, which may impact trying to solve the problem above:
My daughter set up my phone (on her iTunes) and the "Sign in to facetime" login is coming up with her (old) Apple ID - which is an EMail address that she no longer has access to.
I have my own (different) Apple ID - although that was not the one used to set up my phone.
I am happy to reset the phone / whatever to *my* Apple ID - but it is critical I don't lose all my contacts / phone numbers / Text messages. I have done a backup onto my PC, but I don't know (given mis-matching Apple IDs) if that will have backed everything important up such that I will be able to restore it. Backup gave a message that APPs were not backed up - the message mentioned something similar to a "permission-mismatch"
I don't think there is anything else on the phone that I need preserved (including any APPs - haven;t been able to buy any as phone is set up with my Daughter's (old) Apple ID
ThanksI entered the password correctly, but it comes back saying the password is incorrect! I can confirm this by using a laptop with internet connection and the same username/password get accepted by logging iTune or even this website.
It turns out that the phone does not have any data connection: no wifi, no cellular turn on.
The ugly thing about this is that Apply/Facetime wrongly shows the message. Why doesn't it say "There is no connection to verify the username/password?"
STUPID!
After I quickly tab "Cancel" and able to turn on cellular network, enter the same password again, and the popup goes away. -
HT204268; I have purchases on an aol login pre 2008 and all recent stuff under an apple id. I currently see and use everything when i login with the apple id. After March 31st will my apple id account still show and contain all?
I understand the instructions to create a new account id (apple id) from the old aol account. However, does this mean my purchases will be split into 2 accounts; or does the fact that I currently see everything under my apple id (regardless of the purchased by username) mean this will all still appear in my current account as it does now?You see them where when you login your non-AOL account ?
If you currently have two accounts (the AOL username account and an email address account) then you will continue to have two accounts, and nothing should change when you update the AOL account to be an email address (apart from how you access that account).
You will just be renaming the account to have an email address for accessing it, not creating a new account. -
Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
Why can't I login with my Apple ID when I try to setup Cloud on my MacBook Pro?
thanks,
SimonFirst question that I am not clear on your answer about: Is the Apple ID itself a valid email address, and the same one that you have as your Primary email address on your account? If the actual Apple ID is not an email address, then that is why you are not able to sign on to iCloud or to verify it....it must be an email address.
If it is an email address then:
Update your OS to the latest version - 10.8.5
Once you have updated, reboot the Mac and then go to Preferences>iCloud and try to sign on with your Apple ID again.
Check Manage your Apple ID to make sure that your Apple ID/Primary email address is verified.
If the problem persists, contact iCloud Support to see if they can provide you with an explanation of the meaning of the message. If the Apple ID has already been verified, then I'm not sure why you would be getting this messge:

I bought an iPhone5 in the US Apple Store using "guest checkout".
Now I must CHANGE Ships TO adress, because I forgot apartment number in adress.
if I login with my Apple ID, it says that I don't have permission to open that Order.
Any ideias anyone?
TnxAt official Apple page's I found this:
With our Guest Checkout feature, you can check out on the Apple Online Store without an Apple ID or password. Simply add the items you would like to purchase to your shopping basket, enter your shipping and payment information, and click the "Place Order Now" button.
You will be able to visit online Order Status to check your order status and track shipments.
To cancel items, add items, or make changes to your order, please call 1800 88 20 45.
What number I must dial?
1-800-My-Apple or 1800 88 20 45

icloud wont let me login with my apple id. it says that my apple id is valid but not an icloud account
To use iCloud, you must first set it up with your Apple ID on a device with iOS 5 or a Mac with OS X Lion.
On an iOS 5 device go to Settings>iCloud and sign in using your Apple ID. -
Hello,
i've got a problem.
By loggin in with my Apple-ID in iTunes it failes and says that i can't connect with iTunes. My internet works and my sis is able to login with here Apple-ID on the same pc...
I reinstalled iTunes, but this didn't help.
Please help me!
I hope you understand my bad english. I'm not from England and so on...Here is how I got around this iTunes bug...
What happens: You make a purchase in iTunes then listen to it, and go back to the store afterwards to make another purchase, iTunes will keep asking for your password, over and over and over and over, never stopping.
Workaround: You have to close out iTunes, open it back up, then make the purchase, it will work fine. -
I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???
I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.
