HT201422 It's been over 24 hours, and Apple iMessage will not accept my Apple password
I've gone into settings, checked things on the Mac and on my iPhone. The iPhone is set and works perfectly. The iMessage on Mac worked perfectly until yesterday. I use Chrome, but went back to Safari and it still doesn't work. Help, please.
I have gone to Apple help page for iMessage, Google Help Pages for Google Talk (because the menu asks for a talk.google.com password)
but there is no page for Message, Google Message or any Message at all. It synchs with Google email, so I went to the help page for that. I tried logging into my internet accounts again - Gmail in particular. When I went into preferences and internet accounts, iMessage asked for my Apple password. So I tried that. I had also tried logging in using my Google password - supposed to work with all Google apps - and my Gmail password. Even tried an old password. I got this screen:
When I hit the Cancel button, it will not cancel but keeps popping up. Just now, it was 8 times before it stopped. All other Google functions are working and are connected when I look in internet accounts.
When I click on the message icon, it opens, but the screen is grayed out:
However, it did update one message from this morning. The messages are otherwise not there between 11/30 and Dec 2, today.

Upgraded Blackberry Desktop software and now it will not accept my device password. What's happened?
I've upgraded the software on my desktop and connected my Bold 9700 to my computer. It asked me for my device password but it's not accepting it. I'm up to 8/10 tries and I know I'll have issues if I keep trying. I've disconnected my bb but it is still wanting a password and not accepting it.
Also the password field on my bb is showing me the characters I'm typing in as opposed to astericks.
I don't know what is happening and I don't want to lose all my data. Help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.I found the answer. I was entering the wrong password and not realizing it. sorry if i waster your time reading this.

How many times can I attempt the passcode before I can't enter it any longer...it has been over 3 hours and it will not let me re-enter it? My daughter forgot the new code she put in....
What dowes the screen say? If it just say disable and gives not time to retry then you have to restore the iPod
Place the iOS device 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.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Download of song will not complete has been over an hour and I have done all the troubleshooting suggestions to correct
Hi Lisa Wozniak,
Are you on a slow Network Connection? I would recommend you to Clear the browser Cache and History and then try again or try using a different browser on a different Network Connection.
Let me know if it works or not.

last night my iphone said it was overheated, and shut off. it has been over 24 hours and hasnt turned on since, not sure what i should do?
Perform a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. If this doesn't help, connect the phone to the charger and leave it for about 30 minutes and see if it comes on. If not, while it is connected try the reset I described first.

I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it.
I changed my exchange password and my ipad2 will not accept it. The iphone 4 did accept the new passwork
some exchange policies require a non proxy or known and secured connection to the exchange server to propagate policy/pw sync. your iphone may have been registered to the exchange server via phone number. connect your ipad to the network at work and sync, or if you have cdma/umts sync over that protocol after you have registered that device with exchange.
you should be able to manually add your device to your profile via outlook webmail under options and mobile devices. -

I updated my 3gs and it wiped all my apps, now when trying to rebuy the apps it is asking for a postcode(i live in ireland where there are none)and it also will not accept my payment card type.any help greatly appreciated
I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -
My 3GS will not accept my correct password and user name to start using the Cloud. It just spins while "verifying." How can I make it stop so I can activate iCloud ?

I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5s and now iMessage will not verify my email address to use to send/ receive messages. It has said "Verifyng" beside it in settings since yesterday, but has not sent a verification email. I have also tried Adding it as a new email address several times, but get the same outcome. I can still send/ receive texts from my phone number, just not from the email address.
In my iCloud settings under Contact Information for that email address and it shows "pending". When I select "Resend Verification Email" I get "Cannot Connect to iCloud".Hello, Dorian071.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is the best article to reference when experiencing issues with iMessage activation issues.

I redownloaded my Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw will not accept my RAW files nor will the Adobe Bridge display the picture view of these files. A message displays saying it doesn't support this camera. I have a Nikon 5100 DSLR Camera. It always displayed them in the past. How can I get it to display these photos in Bridge and open them in RAW?

I am not able to recover my keychain access. I followed the directions to "Reset My Default Keychain" and then entered a new password. It will not accept a new password. How do I Reset or recover the KeyChain Access Password?
This is what you tried?
