I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 and it won't recognize my password.  I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.

I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4  and it won't recognize my password.  I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.  What do I need to do?

There are two more things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data.  Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Unplug the phone form the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes.  My guess is that the reset did not work.
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the lates version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in covery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • My classic is stuck on a blank screen and it won't connect to any device or reset when I hold the menu and center buttons. Any ideas what's up and how to fix it?

    I know click hold on and off then hold the menu and center button until the apple logo appears. I have tried this so many times and my iPod Classic is still unresponsive! I've tried plugging my iPod into my Mac, my wall charger, my ihome, everything, but nothing works. It won't connect to iTunes to restore or anything. I've tried leaving it unplugged long enough to let the battery die and then tried plugging it in, a method I've utilized successfully with other iPods but that didn't work either. I really just starting to lose faith in the quality of this product. The first classic I bought didn't work at all and I had to exchange it. This one I bought to replace my 5 year old nano and it hasn't even lasted 7 months! Somebody please offer me a solution and assure me that I didn't waste $250 on a crap piece of technology. I'm desperate!

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • I let my ipod touch run out of battery, i plugged it in, and i won't recognize my password. Help!

    OK-
    I'm 13 years old and got an ipod touch for my last birthday.
    And once in a while i get the Touch taken away.
    This time, it got taken away for 3 days, it was out of battery,
    so i plugged it in.
    When it finally came to, i typed in my password 'rise'
    AND IT SAID IT WAS WRONG!!!!!
    Please help me...

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • I changed my exchange password and iPad won't recognize new password. I can't get past the box telling me password is incorrect to access settings or anything else. Ideas?

    Am unable to access anything on iPad because it tells me my exchange password is incorrect

    I couldn't get past the dialog box in order to delete since it seemed to be stuck in some sort of loop..  I found the answer under "More like this".  Had to do a reset (hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds).  When iPad eventually came back to life, the dialog box was gone and I was able to get into Settings and reset the password.  All fixed now!

  • I just downloaded ios 7 but because I have an older version of iTunes, my phone won't connect. However, I can't download iTunes 11 because my mac is too old. Any suggestions?

    Just downloaded ios 7. Now my iphone won't connect to iTunes. It says I need Itunes 11. However, I'm running OS 10.5.8 which ITunes 11 doesnt recognize. Any suggestions other than buying a new Mac?

    Upgrade your Mac to OS X "Snow Leopard". You need an Intel Mac (no PowerPC).
    Purchase Snow Leopard from Apple:
    Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    Once installed run Software Update which will update OS X to version 10.6.8. You can then download and install iTunes 11.

  • Just downloaded IOS 6 and it disabled my favorite game, Bubblets Tilt, and it won't let me reload this game I originally bought through the Apps store because it says it is no longer sold in the US. I tried to download off website and same. Help!

    Just downloaded IOS 6 and it disabled my favorite game, Bubblets Tllt. Restarted and no luck. Tried to download new app and it is gone. Tried to download from website off Safari and message it is no longer sold in the US. Please help. Apple owes me for the cost of this app. Plus Google Maps is infinitely better and that the download kicking it off makes me want to buy an android. And I am not alone is resenting this meddling in my right to keep what I originally purchased. What are they thinking?

    hi Bern 
    Firstly welcome to Crowd Support  
    The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) Credit Management code states that Telstra must perform s credit assessment when a customer is applying to us for credit.   
    For our Credit Assessments to be passed there are many factors of information considered to determine if the Credit Assessment is satisfied. 
    There are many reasons why a Credit application may be declined, and one of the most common is due to the new Customer not having any previous history with Telstra.
    While this may be frustrating for you, in the circumstance of a Mobile Phone contract being involved, we really do need to be sure that we have the correct billing information, up to date contact details and also viability to pay bills on time. 
    There is a process where this decline decision can be disputed, and I would be more than happy to lodge this dispute for you if you could provide me with some information. 
    I will send you a PM so that we can work together offline to lodge this dispute. 
    Lindy  
     

  • I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. Now were can i go to paste all 400 of them and get them back ?

    I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?
    <Edited by Host>

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

    Have you reset or restarted your iPhone since the update?
    Hold down the home button and the power button until you see an Apple logo
    Release both buttons and the iPhone will restart.

  • I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem?

    I just downloaded iOS 6 on my iPhone 4 and now can no longer open internet links that were texted to me.  Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix this? 

    The SMS links thing is highly annoying. You don't have to copy/paste however. You should see an icon like this: (>) to the right of the text bubble with the link. Tap on that, the in the screen that opens, tap "Visit".
    Alternatively, you can tap twice directly on the link, then hold your finger down after the second tap.
    Still unnecessarily difficult, but not as bad as copy/paste.
    What I don't get is why can't I find any mention of this change or how to fix it (if even possible) elsewhere online?
