HT1222 Why won't my Apple PW work when I'm trying to update iOS? Plz help!

Hello~
I am trying to update from iOS 7.1 to iOS 7.1.1.  When I enter my Apple PW, (the PW I used to log on to this site) it says it's invalid. What I'm I missing? I really have no other ideas as to what PW's it could be asking for. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

Since the update verifies you by your Apple ID, it needs the password that is associated with your apple ID (which may be different from the password you use here with your user name). So, you need to use the password you use to purchase apps, music, etc.

    Why won' t my apple password work to sign in iOS update

    The passcode you need to enter is not your Apple password. It is the four digit passcode you enter when turning on your iPad or waking it from sleep after an AutoLock. If you forgot your passcode you'll have to restore the iPad in iTunes.

  • I have successfully created a new Apple Id. But when I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone5C, the old Apple Id is appearing. Please let me know how to update?

    You should be able to log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with your new account.
    Any content that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that account can potentially redownload them and/or download updates to its apps. You should be able to reset the password on an iTunes account via http://iforgot.apple.com e.g. by answering the account's security questions.

  • Why won't my Apple ID work for Facetime & Imessages?

    Ok, I've just brought the new Itouch (I was using the first gen itouch beforehand) I've connected it up to my Itunes and registered my new product with out a hitch.  However!  One of the many reasons for the upgrade is so that I can keep in touch with friends aborad using the facetime app.  I've gone in and it's asked me to supply or create my apple ID which I have done (tried my old ID) but i get the same error message "you were signed out of Face time because your apple ID or password changed" but I have not changed anything!
    After having a look on the board it seems like it could be that I'm not set up for Icloud, again this is a problem as everytime it tries to verify it says to go to my mail account for a varification email but nothing has been sent.  Or, do i need to do anything that will revove my old Itouch?  I haven't wipped it yet as I wanted to make sure my new one was up and running first.
    I am at my wits end,
    Please help!

    In my continuing search for a solution, I've come across another discussion of this problem that may be useful to some. You will find here:  http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1250735
    It offers two ideas to try.
    First, if you are using Little Snitch, try turning it off when you want to log into iCloud. (As it happens, I do use LS, but turning it off made no difference for me. Some of the posters do report success, however.)
    Secondly, try deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts folder. (Again, some posters report this solved the problem, but it didn't work for me.)
    Let us know if you have luck with either of these.

  • Why is verification required thing popping up when I'm trying to update my apps

    dear Apple I'm trying to update some of my a and it says verification required. The apps I got didn't cost money. Those apps were free. The worst part is that my iPad has this ******** program called eSpark. they block to much stuff. They request to many education apps. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know.Anothe thing is that I have no none option. And it says your card was declined try a different pay method. OMG APPLE FIX THIS AND COME OUT AND RELASE IOS 8.4! YOU BETTER FIX VERIFACTION REQURIED TO MAKE THAT ATOP POPPING UP WHEN IM UPDATING MY APPS.                                                                                                                   

    Another ID will show up when downloading if that ID is signed in to the App store. You can sign out of the ID in settings-iTunes &App store, tap the ID and choose sign out. You can also sign out via the app store, choose featured, on the bottom left you will see the id, tap it and choose sign out. Then the download will prompt "Use existing Apple id", tap that and sign in with your apple ID. ** in both scenarios, the Apple ID will show as "greyed out" and will not allow you to tap if  "Accounts" are set to "don't allow changes" in Restricitons.
    For updates, another ID will come up if the app needing the update was downloaded by that ID. Choose cancel when prompted for the password and it will continue and ask for another ID if other apps dwonloaded with other ID need updates

  • Why won't my Apple applications work all of a sudden?

    For some reason over the weekend, my Apple applications like Safari, Mail, Software Update and such won't work. When I open one, my cursor turns into that rainbow circle and just stays there. The application won't go any further.
    However, my other applications I have seem to work fine, such as Adobe products, Macromedia products, and Internet Explorer.
    Do I need to reinstall my system? If I buy Tiger and install that, would that solve my problem as well? If I do reinstall my system, what files do I need to back up to save old emails?

    Alonzo,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions !
    Did you recently install a new application or printer/scanner?
    You might have a font conflict . . .
    Many times, fonts will mess up all he Apple apps but not affect 3rd party apps.
    If you haven't added anything containing additional fonts, let us know, and we can look into font book app for duplicates.

  • Why won't my Apple ID work

    My little lad did something to the iPad It had being rest back to when I first brought it. I tried to log on with my Apple ID as nothing ad changed n it says the account as reached its limit. Then when I turn it off n back on it lets me sign in, but when I go on the App Store it asks me to sign in to which I do it states that I need to verify my account but there is nothing that I can sign in with to verify my account. I go on my emails n there's nothing there, I want to  able to get free games n apps back on my iPad even when I try to get my bank detail up so that I can add it I can't without verfiying my email this is reali frustrating me out as the iPad cost me a lot of money, n I am wanting to use it how I did before please any HELP!!!

    The "limit of three" has to do with trying to define a new icloud account, not just logging in.  For icloud, you need to log out then back in using whatever ID/password you want.
    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

  • Why won't my after effects work when i have the correct graphics card everything is greyed out

    hey everyone I'm new to after effects and it won't work everything is greyed out i can't even start a new project

    If the menus are grayed out then you have probably launched the Render Engine and not the App:
    From a Mac finder:
    On a Windows engine the extension will be exe.

  • My iPad worked beautifully until I tried to update iOS.  now it is dead.

    my iPad 2 worked beautifully with iOS 6.1.3.  got a notice to update to iOS 7.0.3.   Kept getting error message.  a kind person online advised me to connect my iPad to my laptop and sync with iTune.  I made it sure that my MacPro had the latest iTune version.  After 3 hours of downloading, I got a message on my MacPro that the iPad could not be restored.  The unknown error occured (2001).   So I disconnected ipad from Mac.  Now I cannot open my iPad.  All I see is the picture of the charge plug tip with an arrow pointing up to iTune logo.  when I reconnect after restarting my MacPro, I get the same message. 
    Is there anyway I can go beyond the current frozen screen on my iPad and go back to the old version of iOS 6.1.3????    please help.   I live in very remote area and very far away from any Apple store.    Please.   Please.

         As you guessed. I, like millions of other users after the update had their iPad go into "recovery mode" only to have the only way to get OUT of it, by restoring it to factory settings.
    Luckily, having had problems with Apple / iTunes before, I had a back up from the beginning of the year, sweet! I can just restore it to that and life is good. NOPE! Since the update, it made the backup incompatible with my iPad. Seriously? What kind of person creates an update for a device that denies backwards compatable capabilites...FOR backups!?!? Now I'm stuck trying to find some program that will decode the backup files, because you know...it would be too simplistic to back up devices NORMALLY so that you didn't have to use third party programs to fix backups....to back up your device.
    TL;DR: How do I restore my device to a backup. Anyone know of any free third party software that can restore, backup restores?

    No such model.  You have an iPod Nano (which generation?) or an iPod Touch.
