I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

Apple TV will not accept my Apple ID and/or password

I cannot get Apple TV to accept my Apple ID and/or password. I reset the password and verified that I have the correct user name but still no luck. Any advice?

I finally went to General/Reset/Reset All Settings Before I could get it to work. *****. I blame the latest update, but that's just because I have no other significant event on which to place the blame.
Use case when mine got hosed; in case Apple is reading: was watching a rented movie. Paused it for an extended period of time (helping wife with groceries). While I was away it went to screensaver and eventually went to sleep. Upon return, I hit menu to bring it back to life and was greeted with the authentication error. Bah!

ITunes will not accept my Apple ID and Password via Apple TV

Hi there. My Apple ID and Password work perfectly well on my computer and allows access to the iTunes store. However, when I try logging into the iTunes store to rent a movie on my Apple TV it keeps on saying Apple ID or password not recognised (or words to that effect). Any ideas anyone. It's been like this for ages and is driving me nuts! (I updated the Apple TV software today).
Thank you.
Graham

I seem to remember seeing something similar when I first connected mine. My userid/pwd were constantly rejected when I tried to rent a movie, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. However when I reentered the exact same details under the ATV settings menu and then went back to rent the movie it was fine, and has been ever since. Am not in front of the unit so I can't remember which option it was under the settings menu but it was pretty obvious...

I have lost my contacts on my IPhone5 and have tried to go into ICloud, but it does not accept my Apple password, I have changed the password many times. What do I do?

I completed the updates on my IPhone5, now I have lost my Contacts, I tried going into my ICloud, but the password that I use does not work (Apple Password). I have changed it many many times and it still won't work. The ICloud is trying to VERIFY, but stays at that point.

I have lost my iPhone on August 27, 2013 at 6:15 a.m. when I posizioned it on the strip for the scanner objet of Linate Airport.
After about 10 minutes when I was already on the plane my friend tried to call my number but the phone was already off.
By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

HT3529 I have upgraded to iOS7 and now can not get my iMessage to activate. It will not accept my Apple ID and I have tried a new password and restarting my phone but it will not activate. How do I fix this?

I can not use iMessage or blue tooth since the upgrade to iOS7. My Apple ID is not being accepted, even with a restart and a password change. I am not receiving texts from others who are sending as an iMessage. How do I fix this?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

When trying to set up my Apple TV it will not accept my apple Id

We are trying to set up our Apple TV and when we are setting it up it will not accept our Apple ID and Password. Any ideas?

I don't understand what you are setting up using numbers - or letters. If it's a passcode, then you can translate the letters into numbers as you would on a telephone keyboard - for example, an "S" would be a 7.
But that may not matter, as the process for setting up voicemail is strongly tied to your cellular carrier. If the above doesn't answer your issue, contact your cellular carrier for setup assistance.

IPhoto update will not accept my apple ID

You can try to drag your iPhoto Application to the trash (do not empty the trash yet) and see if it will install from the App store - if it does not contact App store support from the link on the right of the app store window

Mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

Hi there.
Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
Thanks!

Face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work. Help!!, face time does not accept my Apple ID and will not work. Help!!

Hi, Face time does not accept my Apple ID and therefore Face time does not work. Any suggestions?

You might have some sort of interference or communication problem, I just wanted to check you were entering the right ID to begin with.
If you are using the correct ID (without spaces), then you might try restarting the router or trying another wifi channel to eliminate interference.

Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored. (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.) If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.
