HT5312 I keep having to change my password because my other one didn't work. Why???
In the last month or so I have changed my password via "iForgot" at least 6 times. I have also changed the email password associated with my apple id several times thinking someone has hacked both. I don't know if anyone else is having these problems as well.
yes I have the same problem. I can't download any apps on my phone because itunes won't accept my apple ID password. I don't want to change it anymore or else I won't remember. Who can help?

I didn't change my password but my old one isn't working
i have had my ibook g4 for about 4 years now and have been using the same password on it since i got it but the other day i was studying and my screen saver came on and the next time i went to use it it asked for my password like always but it wouldn't work... i tried making sure caps lock was off and that didn't work so i tried restarting it and that didn't work either now i can't login at all
PLEASE HELP!!Hi, katielady -
Okay.
I just registered that you have an iBook G4 model. None of the G4 iBook models, including the original one vintage 2003, are OS 9 bootable; they can use only OSX for booting. This means that my earlier reference to Multiple Users is not valid (since it pertains only to OS 9); and if you do not recall specifically setting an Open Firmware password then that does not apply either.
OSX requires a password entry every time - if the record of that got mangled somehow, that is probably what is blocking your access.
In order to fix that you will need to go through the process (it's not difficult) of changing the password. To do that you will need to boot the machine to its original installer disk set, the one that came with it. There is a procedure on the first page or so of the installer identified as Reset Password (I believe it is at Installer > Reset Password) - select that and follow the prompts.
Things that can cause files (and the data recorded in them) to go south -
• Age. A frequently used file can get damaged accidentally for no preventable reason. Good backups and a touch of fatalism address this issue.
• A drive that is too full. When a hard drive gets too full odd things begin happening. With OSX it is recommended that a minimum of 5GB be left unused on the hard drive.
• The drive's directories have become damaged. The result of this is that the OS can not find what it is looking for. To test for this, while booted to the original install disk (or to a later install disk if the OSX base version is newer than the original one, such as 10.4 vs. 10.3) and run Disk Utilitiy (it's a menu option). Let Disk Utility take a look at the drive. It will report both things it can fix (which you should let it repair) and things it can not fix (which can usually be repaired by other utilities). -
I am not Able To update My apps because The old Apple id keeps apearing.
Hi ...
On your iPad? The reason I ask is because you posted in the Mac App Store forum for the Mac OS X.
Tap Settings > Store > Apple ID
Type in the correct Apple ID and password.

Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?
Why do I keep having to reenter my password for one of my email accounts?
Likely because one of the servers (the incoming or outgoing) needs authentication before you can receive or send messages.

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. -
Someone used my email address to create an Apple ID. I logged in to appleid.apple.com and I changed the password because it is freaking me out. I want to report it to Apple but dont know how to go about it. I want the Apple ID deleted. How do I go about that? Is there also a way to ensure that the email address wont be used again by this person to create another Apple ID?
This is compounded actually by a Gmail issue. I have had this email address for ages, since the start of the beta. But lately in the last year or so, I am getting mail that seems to be intended for other people but it is using my email address. It is probably one of them who created the Apple ID.Contact iTunes support: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

I have a ipod 5th gen and i changed my password because everyone knew it. I had forgotten it and now it is fully disabled. I can not get it online anymore and i have tried everything to get it restored. Please help as I am really worried
Disabled
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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
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
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Hi,
I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?Hello there hastibahreini,
It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

how do i get a password? I changed my password last night and it doesn't work. Or, it is asking for a password for something else and I do not know which one!
Usually when someone mentions "passowrd" in a posting it will not be related to an Adobe product but to the machine that you are trying to implement some installation or update for. If you explain more about what you are trying to do and describe what you encounter it might be easier to determine what you are dealing with... include a screenshot to help explain as well if you can.

What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.
You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end. -

How do I to get Siri to spell Shawn correctly? None of the "tips" I've seen so far work. I tried changing the phonetic first name but that didn't work. I tried adding another dictionary but that didn't work either. I spell his name but Siri sows it as SH A WN (or something like that). Thanks
