I keep getting messages to sign into iCloud and sign in with my Apple Id. It happens on all my devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone 5 and Ipad mini. When I enter my password it will say password incorrect. I reset it through email it works for a day then repeats.

How do I rectify this situation, it is really frustrating having to reset my Apple id and icloud password every two days.

It sounds as if your account has been compromised. I would recommend logging into those accounts from your computer and their websites and changing your password.

Keeping mail accounts synchronized between MacBook Pro, iPhone, and iPad

I want to keep my email accounts synchronized between three devices (MacBook Pro, iPhone, and new iPad).
I use several Email accounts (personal use, business use, one for Internet purchases and newsletters, etc.)
My Email accounts include: MobileMe, Gmail, and two that are hosted by my telecommunications provider and these are POP3-based Email accounts.
I use Apple Mail as my primary Email program, and Gmail for the personal accounts. In Apple Mail, I make use of Folders to sort incoming messages.
I need recommendations on how best (and simplest) to keep everything synchronized between and among the three devices mentioned above. In addition, I can be more productive if I have the ability to use Folders/Labels for Email filing regardless of which device I am using.
I’m considering using Gmail as my primary Email program. It synchronizes easily with all three devices, and Gmail’s Folders/Labels do appear on the iPhone and the iPad. If I choose this route, I will need to find an effective way to back up Gmail, especially for my business-related messages.
I’d welcome any advice/recommendations from any of you. Thanks.

in pop there is a setting to leave the mail on the server ... I would have one main device that i used for managing .. ie. deleting email, and use the others for just reading. obviously the macbook would be the managing device ... but i have to say a laptop is not a great email manager because of the limited storage. alternatively you can start to use imap where all the email stays and is managed on the server, then your mobile-device-only lifestyle will work better and you do not have to worry about backups if your ISP takes care of that.
what i do at home is to have an iMac with a huge disk and store my stuff in the home directory, and then I can use other devices, that don't necessarily have to be apple, to read mail in the inbox. I just manage and archive on the iMac, or whatever would be the biggest machine. That way I also use time machine to keep backups in case I might lose something too.
your philosophy seems to be to stay mobile and light. i archive all my email forever ... at least anything I think is important or personal. just a different workflow i guess. in future i will move my mail folders to a readynas box with 12TB storage because of the size of multimedia is going to be getting bigger and bigger. Goggle's email already allows 20MB emails.

Using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie. Logged in successfully - billing info updated. Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV

using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie. Logged in successfully - billing info updated. Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
any advice?

3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD.
Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
I think this is possibly linear. Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't. I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size. If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options. You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor.

It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

TS3212 trying to activate my iPhone 4S when I try to download iTunes on my Windows 7 computer I keep getting message telling me to verify that the package exists or contact the application vendor. All I want to do is activate my new phone. What am I doin

I was excited when my iPhone 4sarrived yesterday. I charged it but today when I tried to download iTunes in order to activate the phone I found that I was unable to download it successfully. I keep getting a message that tells me to Verify that the package exists or contact the application vendor. I have no idea how to do any of this. I was downloading from the AT&T support site.

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

Hi I had lightroom 4 on windows 8. I get a message saying I can't open LR as it is already open in a different catalog. There is no other catalog. Rebooting hasn't worked & I installed 4.4. It worked for one day then I got the same message. I uninstalled

Hi I have lr 4 on a windows 8 computer. I keep getting an error message when I try to open LR. It states that the catalog is already open in a different location, close this, then try to open lr. I have tried re booting, opening a new catalog, upgrading to 4.4, removed 4.4 & still get the same message. Please help!!!

Try going to your lightroom folder (the default is usually inside Pictures or My pictures) where the catalog is located. Don’t touch any .lrcat files but if you see a similar file with the word Lock, you can delete it. Then try launching Lightroom.

Verizon iPhone 5 not sending or receiving texts. iMessage worked for a day then stopped or messages were severely delayed.

New iPhone 5 on Verizon will not send or receive texts. In the beginning iMessage worked for about a day and then messages started to be delayed by hours. Eventually even these messages were not being sent. Reset network settings followed by a soft re-boot land still no change. Any ideas?

For iMessage problems, try this:
- Sign out of iMessage
- Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- Sign back in to iMessage
Best of luck.

Hi Susu55,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest importing your pictures to your computer, and then sync your iPad to the computer.
The article below will show you how:

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X. Reset to factory settings and worked for 2 days then lost connection and remedied by unplugging power supply. Anyone else having problems?

Just purchased Airport Extreme ac and lost internet connection 3X in less than one week. Fisrt time, reset to factory settings and fixed problem. Has occurred 2 additional times and connection re-established by unplugging AP extreme. Anyone else having these problems? Do I have a bad router? Thanks.

I definitely think this is a Mavericks issue. My iMac running Mavericks is the ONLY system in the house that drops the network randomly while all other systems never lose the network. No idea how to resolve this, but here is the workaround I'm posting:
I've had the 'network drop' issue with my Airport Extreme for the last 2 months. It reconnects when I pull the ethernet cable and plug it back in. I've tried downgrading the AE firmware, resetting to factory, etc. Nothing worked. I finally threw in the towel and created a script that monitors my network connectivity and restarts my interface if it senses it has dropped:
#!/bin/ksh
while true
do
yup=`ping -c1 -t2 www.google.com|grep from`
if [[ -n $yup ]]
     then echo "Internet is connected!"
else
        ifconfig en0 down; ifconfig en0 up
        echo "Down at `date +%m%d%Y%H%M%S`">>./dropped.out
fi
sleep 5
clear
done
I know its a workaround, but its saving me the headache of constantly pulling my cable and putting it back in!
Good luck!

How do I get my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad all in sync with each other?

Just bought an iPad mini. What is best way to sync my iPhone 5, MacBook Pro, and iPad mini?

You use iTunes on the MacBook Pro to store backups of apps and documents. Use iPhoto on the MacBook Pro to organize and store photos. Then sync each device with the MacBook Pro by connecting the device to the MacBook Pro and running iTunes.

I am getting an error message when I try to sign into icloud with my itunes info.

I am trying to sign into the icloud on my PC since I do not have an iphone or ipad. When I enter in my itunes info it says - "This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account" . Why can't I sign in using my itunes info?

Ok, back now. Have her follow the instructions under "Share a calendar publicly" here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479. (Note: the term "publicly" is a bit of a misnomer. It won't share the calendar with the public at large, it will only give her a url link that she can share with people such as yourself who don't have an iCloud account to allow them to subscribe to her calendar with read-only access.)

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account i don't have and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again.

After upgrading iTunes I keep getting asked to authorize account to play songs purchased with a very old hotmail account (10 years) I don't have anymore and can't recover the password. How can I authorize my songs again? I tried to sign in to hotmail again and it says i don't have an account, but when I try to create a new one with the same name, it says one already exists.
When I try to recover the password from Apple, it of course wants to send an email to the account I can't get into, and when I try to do the security questions, it says my DOB is incorrect. How can that be wrong?! I am pretty sure I know my exact birthdate. Now I can't listen to a bunch of my music.

Can't sign into iCloud

Upgraded my MobileMe account to iCloud on may powermac g5 via safari. Then upgraded my iPad to iOS 5. Tried to sign into iCloud in system prefences with my mobileme username and password and it pauses and then quits to the main screen. I also can't access the preference panel for mobile me without preferences quitting. I've restarted the iPad and this keeps happening.
Any solutions?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you'll have to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your phone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

HT5616 Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?

Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?
