HT4528 Apple Id Password not working, even though I have reset it numerous times.  It says my password is invalid, but I know it is not.

My apple id works when I log in on the computer, but not on my phone.  I cannot update my phone because it says my apple id is invalid, but it is not.

What EXACTLY is the message you're getting? If it says that ID can't be used to activate the phone, you have to use the same iCloud ID you had previously used to set up Find my iPhone. It's called Activation Lock. It's an anti-theft feature.

  • Some of my itunes songs have no plays even though they have been played numerous times. Why?

    After upgrading to the most recent version of itunes this happened. Even after playing songs, it resets to zero. Anyone know why?

    Are the songs still in the library, or on the hard drive? Are they checked?

  • I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password.  Any advice?

    i am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password.  Any advice?

    Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again.  A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
    Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone.  You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

  • Hi, I am using Firefox 5. Suddenly I lost my bookmarks toolbar even though I have selected it to be visible in the view option. But I can still view the bookmarks toolbar in my all-in one side bar

    Hi, I am using Firefox 5. Suddenly I lost my bookmarks toolbar even though I have selected it to be visible in the view option. But I can still view the bookmarks toolbar in my all-in one side bar

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

    Hi there
    No need to get testy. Lilybiri was being spot on with the comparison.
    The only solution for you will be to uninstall the Flash player, then locate an older version of the Flash player and install it on the Windows XP you have. Captivate is now at version 8 and several years have passed since version 1.1. You will likely not make 1.1 work with Windows 7 or Windows 8. In fact, the only way I'm aware to remotely make it work on those operating systems is by first ensuring you have the Professional or Ultimate version, then installing the Windows XP mode Virtual Machine.
    Here is a link for uninstalling the Flash Player
    And here is a link for the older versions
    Sorry, but you are on your own to sort exactly how far back you will need to go to find a version of Flash Player that works with this version of Captivate. And keep in mind, that even though you finally get a Flash Player version that allows it to run, you will only be able to run it on some form of Windows XP. It will not run on Windows 7 or 8 unless you install the VM. And when you do that, you will be stuck inside the VM and will not be able to record anything outside it in the 7 or 8 environment.
    Cheers... Rick

  • My touch screen is not working at all and I've tried numerous times to turn it off and on but with no success to getting the touch screen to work again.  Any suggestions to get it back working?

    My touch scree will not work at all.  It just stopped one day and has not worked since.  I've tried numerous times to restart it but with no success at all.  The only tning I haven't tried is resetting it back to it's original setting when I bought it 2 years ago>  Any suggestions??

    When resetting the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod fails to resolve a problem, the problem is likely due to a a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is then in order.

  • How do i get rid of the annoying wifi connect screen whenever i am in a mall, it pops up even though i have cancelled it many times and revert to 3g

    how do i get rid of the annoying wifi connect screen, even after i have rejected and cancelled using it and revert to 3g?

    Actually just turn off "Ask to join networks". Settings ->  Wi-Fi -> Ask to Join Networks. This way your wi-fi will still work at home or anywhere that you want to use it but you won't get prompted to join unknown networks.

  • Internet explorer does not work even though i have connection

    View Solution.

    Hello Antoney805:
                 That is easy you have the same Internet Explorer as I do. Left click on the lock washer icon then select Internet Options. When window opens click on advance tab then click on Reset and then ok. You are all set now. It should restore the Internet Explorer to orginal settings.  If that doesn't work for some unknown reason go to your control pannel some where you should be able to unstall programs on your computer.  Internet Explorer is an update so you want to look for it in  update section not programs list.  Un install and down load a nother copy. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/search#q=internet+explorer   You have to unistall the corrupted one first. Other wise the down load page will say you have the latest version installed. frrw.

  • Cannot get iCloud mail to work even though I have an iCloud account already

    I am trying to setup Mail and Notes on an iMac (i3) with OS X 10.8.2.  When I go into Preferences > iCloud > check "Mail", I get a prompt for an email address.  I enter my existing iCloud email account and click OK but it then asks me to click on "Create" to create the account so I do.  It then comes back and says that email already exists and to pick a new one.
    There is no option for using an already existing account so there is no way to setup mail.
    When I try to go to Mail via the web based iCloud.com interface I am able to login with my iCloud account but when I click on Mail it tells me "iCloud Email Needed" and to create a new email by turning on Mail in the iCloud settings.
    It appears Apple has really messed up on iCloud as they did on MobileMe as they did with Mac.com.  That aside, how do I get access to my mail?

    Here are the instructions to set up the mail manually, it's for Snow leopard but works in ML, try this.Once Mail is working you should be able to enable Notes.
    I haven't tried this so here's hoping it works for you, read it first, follow all instructions as printed.
