HT4436 why do i keep getting a message that states "the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect?

Why do I keep getting a message that states "the user name or password for icloud is incorrect.

Apple are currently trying to get less secure passwords updated. They require that your account passwords are at least eight characters long and contain both alpha and numeric characters and at least one upper case alpha character.
You might try changing your account password to match these requirements.

  • I'm getting the user name or password for icloud is incorrect. Everything was good until I changed my apple id pass word

    I had to change my apple id password and now I'm getting the user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect.

    Hi Ed,
    I experienced a similar problem too.  It happened overnight a few weeks ago after 11/19.
    I got a pop up message, saying that my password needed to be reset.
    So I reset my password, and ever since, I have not been able to read/send email from my icould @me.com acct.
    Now I get the error: "The user name or password for "icloud" is incorrect" on my iOS devices, though it is correct enough for access my iTunes account and to log into http://icloud.com. 
    Interestingly enough, the issue seems to be related to the email only, since I cannot access icould email from the website either. It instead creates an error dump.

    Are you entering the new password?

  • How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

    How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4,  7.1.1  I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts.  I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account."  I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones.  I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account.  When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Suzanne,
    It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    So long,
    -Jason

  • Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now I get a messege saying the user name or password for verizon is incorrect on my iPad but is fine on my home computer what's wrong with my ipad

    Never had trouble before with my incoming mail but just now getting messege that says the user name or password for verizon is incorrect yet my home computer is fine only have this od my iPad

    I experienced same problem tonight and called Verizon technical support and they walked me through the settings on iPad. Took about 5 minutes. Basically it involved changing incoming.verizon.net to pop.verizon.net and changing outgoing.verizon.net to smtp.verizon.net. But it's worth the call to ensure other settings are OK. Evidently, change at Verizon was effective today!

  • My icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum

    my icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum

    Accessing the itunes store and joining this forum are different accounts than an icloud account, so it's not necessarily true that your ID for icloud is the same as for itunes.
    Did you set up an icloud account?
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library"  what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

    I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac.  I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported.  the file is in the iphoto library folder"  also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
    not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

    Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message.  If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.
