I can't log into my main account with my password, always gets me back to the log-in screen after upgrading to 10.7.5

After my routine software update to 10.7.5, I can't log into my main log-in id. Whenever I put my password in, it takes me back to the log-in screen. I'm sure of the password not being wrong because i can access my other admin accounts from which i changed the password. All my files and data is in that id. Please help. Thank you.

Logging into my Apple account with ID/password has suddenly become impossible'

I regularly use the Apple forums. I also use two browsers, Firefox and Safari. For the last three years I could use the same ID/password for the Apple forums in both of the browsers but suddenly the Apple log in panel in my Firefox browser tells me my ID or password is incorrectly entered.
Yet the same ID/password still works in the Safari browser and no changes have been made to either (or attempted).
The link below follows a forum correspondence that led to Apple contacting me.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2723335&tstart=0
The Apple people then confirmed the ID and password and suggested that the Firefox password could have become corrupted. They went on to say that they could help reset the password from their end but it is unlikely to resolve the issue with Firefox.
Not being too bright with computers would some kind person give the problem some thought and advise me in simple terms how best to resolve the issue.
My initial thought was to uninstall Firefox thereby losing all the set passwords then re-install. But I'm not sure; the Apple screen I would then log into would still be Apple's.

The problem is on my Mac Pro, the drop down window that contains my Apple ID is an old one & it will not let me change it, any password I try doesn't work including the present one.

I have backed up my old phone to itunes, however, when I try to restore data to new phone it is saying the password is incorrect but I can get into my itunes account with my password so I am doing something wrong?

I'm having this EXACT same problem with my iPhone 4, and I have the same computer stats (I have a Samsung Series 7)

The Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. Will not let me sign on through Safari or Google either. When I put in email and password it goes right back to the log in page. Help?

On my iPhone 4, the Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. The first time I sign on with the FB app it goes to the news feed page, says loading, and then flipps between loading and connection error. If I close out of that and try to sign in again it locks up on the logging in page. From Safari or google it goes to the log in page, after entering my email and password it goes right back to the log in page. I have tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing the app and everything else I can think of. Since I can log onto another account on my phone it can't be the app, any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Sounds like a hard reset is in order...

iTunes 9.0.2.
Trouble logging in for a couple of days.
1. Always have logged in with my username only.
2. Now requires me to login with my [email protected]
3. When I log in with my [email protected] my account details (top-right hand corner of iTunes store) states [email protected]
4. All my previous purchases state in Info that my Account name is just username.
5. Now logging in with [email protected] ([email protected]) any new purchase list the Account name as [email protected]
6. My account two days ago (just username) had credit on it. Now its gone because I can no longer log in under that account.
7. All purchases under that account that have updates are not available because I cannot log in.
ITunes & iPhone error message:
This Apple ID is not available.
Also, tried logging in to send this reply and I received the message This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Why???
So I reset my password - to the same password and had a few teething problems, but have now managed to login.
Note: me.com has not been affected. There has been no issues with my login for my me.com account.
But wait there is more....
I just thought I would try it again, because I had just reset the password through Apple Discussions, and I can now login with just my username in iTunes. All seems to be working as per usual.
Why there has been an issue with iTunes and Apple Discussion, and not with logging in to http://www.me.com - I don't know???
Perhaps this will fix your problem as well - reset your password.
Weird!

Logging into I-cloud account with PC

On some PCs I am unable to log into my I-cloud account. Any suggestions? I am using Windows 7.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

I cannot stay logged into my MSN account with Firefox although I click the "keep me logged in" box.

I used to be able to remain logged in to my MSN account while using Mozilla Firefox. Now I have to log in every time although I click on the "keep me signed in" box. This happened after I tried to create a new e-mail account on MSN. Not life and death, but puzzling.

Did you add your Facebook account in settings?
Have you tried resetting the iPad?
Settings, general, reset. Reset all settings.

TS2446 I recieved an email telling me my apple account had been suspended and it contained a link to click on. I am very vary of such emails and want to know if its genuine, especially as I have just logged into my apple account with no problems.

I would like to know if anyone has recieved a similar email...if it is a scam. The email did not address me by name, just Dear Customer.

Would not touch that link for all the gold in Fort Knox. The fact that you independently were able to log in to your account and verify it is fine tells you this is just a scam.

Mac keeps trying to log into a Windows server with old password.

My iBook for some reason is trying to log into a server at work we use to share files on (let's called it Xserver). I recently discovered through logging my network traffic on my router at home, that my machine was still trying to access XServer.rr.com Xserver.socal.rr.com even when I was not in the office. It doesn't stop trying, over and over and over it goes, trying to find XServer. I was wondering why my account on XServer kept becoming Locked Out (Windows Server), and this is obviously the answer because it's not using the correct password.
How can i find out where OSX is instructed to connect to XServer automatically and keep trying, and tell it to stop?

Look in SystemPreferences>Accounts>yourAccount...and then into Login items. see if this server login is set to be automatic there.
If it's just a wrong password you need to fix, look into Utilities>KeychainAccess...see if this server is in there, remove it. Or do Keychain FirstAid.
There is an automount function somewhere, but I forget where that is.

My iCal keeps popping up saying 'iCal can't log into your google account because your password key be incorrect', and no matter what I try or type in it just keeps popping up every 20 minutes or so. Any help?

Hi, I've had my Air for a few days now, and since setting up my iCloud and linking with my gmail account, my iCal has started constatnly bugging my about a password entered incorrectly, it says, 'The password may hev been enetered incorrectly. Reenter the password for account 'Google' on the CalDAV server "calender.google.com".' Whatever I type in is wrong, and I don't have that many options for passwords so I know I'm not entering it incorrectly if it's one of mine, and every time I close it, it pops back up 20 minutes later with the same problem. Any help would be great, Thanks

I ran into the issue about 3 months ago and resetting my password fixed the issue (no pop-ups since the reset). As someone who supports about 25,000 users who are on Google Apps for Education I can comfortably say that this appears to be a pretty common fix. About once a week we get a call from a user who gets the username/password pop-up with correct credentials, when I encountered it myself I knew something had to be up.
Give the reset a try, also give it a few minutes (3 to 5 mins) before entering the new password into iCal.

And why is it suddenly in english ? I startet from a german installation. How can i protect one E-Mail account with a password may be the office part and give

may be in the office with a password, and give the other free for the rest of the users without password, the master password didn't help here I mean, or the handling for this is not clear to see for me

There is no full or partial password protection that is really more than an inconvenience.
You could however use the operating system permissions, but again whole application would be the result.
I have heard of updates occasionally reverting to English, an install will set it back. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html as data and program are separate reinstalling will not be an issue.

IPod touchm notes disappearing off iPod - found on email account. How do I get them back on the iPod touch?

My Notes (yellow notes app) disappeared from my iPod touch running iOS 6.1.3 and found out here they'd been "synced" to my email account. Sure enough there they were. As suggested, I went into settings for the email account on my iPod and removed "notes" as one of the things to track. I checked the settings for Notes and there is no option to make the iPod the place to keep things (apparently, this is an option on the iPhone version of Notes). Now my test note has stayed on the iPod. But how do I get the old notes that are sitting in an email account back to my iPod?
Also, I'm not sure who decided "sync" should mean "remove from one device and put it on the other device". This is not most people's definition of "sync". It isn't done with email syncing. When I send mail (yahoo or gmail), from either the iPod or some other device, the sent mail shows up on both devices, not on one or the other.

Are you sure they are not there? Check your later pages. Syncing often reloads the apps out of sequence. Also check in iTunes under Apps that Sync Apps is checked.

I can log into my iCloud account but cannot access any of the applications.

I am able to log into my iCloud account but i am unable to access any of the applications. I always get the message that reads "there was a problem loading the application"
I therefore cannot go beyond just signing in

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

IMac shuts down when i try to log into some user accounts

Installed Lion on my mid 2010 iMac.
Now when I log into one of my accounts it starts to log in, then decides it doesn't want to and restarts the machine.
Guest account works fine, and when I made another account that works fine as well. Just keeps shutting down when I try to log into my main account.

Thanks for that. It looks like it is mail causing the problem. Took mail out of launch at start up and seems to be working ok now.
All I have to do now is make sure I remember to turn off mail before I shut down my computer.

I can't log into my main account with my password, always gets me back to the log-in screen after upgrading to 10.7.5
