  • HT204053 I am trying to open my icloud on my iphone but I keep getting password is incorrect and cannot reset it, What do I do?

      What do I do to change my Icloud password? Do all have to have the same password? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    All your devices that use the same iCloud account will need you to sign in using the same ID and password. if you want to change a password you should do so at My Apple ID first and then delete the accounts on your devices before logging in again with your new details

  • Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only.

    Getting the "cannot get mail, password is incorrect" message with my AOL account only. Could this have something to  do with the iOS 7 update? When I log into my mail through safari it's fine, and I deleted it from my phone and went to go add it back but now I can't because it keeps telling me my password, which is correct, is incorrect. Has anyone else had this issue since iOS 7? How can I fix it?

    I have had issues of "password incorrect" and mail not being sent, after doing the latest IOS 8 update to both my iPhone and iPad.  I tired all the different suggestions I found (deleting and re-adding my AOL account, changing my password, etc) and nothing fixed it until now!  While searching around for a solution, I happened upon a post from someone.  I tried doing this to all three of my AOL email accounts (on both my iPhone and iPad) and now it works great!  Here what that post said to do:
    "1. Set up your AOL account(s) using the AOL option
    2. Go into each AOL account(s) and under the "Outgoing Mail Server" section, press the SMTP entry
    3. Set the "Primary Server" to "Off"
    4. Press "Add Server" and provide the following information in the "Outgoing Mail Server" section
        a. Host Name - type in:  smtp.aol.com
        b. User name - type in your user name WITHOUT the "@aol.com" - that was the problem/change!
        c. Password - type in your password
        d. Use SSL - On
        e. Authentication - Password
        f. Server Port - 587 (mine automatically set it to port 587)
    After you enter in the above info, the Primary Server will still be set to OFF, but the new server you set will be set to ON, just doesn't show up in the Primary Server section.  Be sure to do the above steps for each one of your AOL accounts (if you have multiples ones).
    Apparently, in the main AOL Account Information section you need to use your user name and the "@aol.com", but you need to leave the "@aol.com" out of the SMTP.  However, the Primary Server has that whole section grayed out so you need to ignore that one and create another one."
    Good luck!  Worked for me and now I am as happy as a Lamb!!

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions. 
    Tricia

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

  • My husband forgot his apple id password but the system won't allow him to reset it - keep getting a timed out message.  Help!

    Of course, after he'd tried to reset it, I found the original password.  But that now doesn't work and we can't reset the password.  We can't even "find" the ID.  We keep getting a timed out message, no matter what we try.  Since he has no working Apple ID, I'm using mine to ask this question.  Possibly relevant - he is NOT a big app user.  I set up the account for him when he first got his iPhone a couple of years ago and he has only a few apps installed.  So the card details may have expired but, of course, he can't update them either.  He recently updated to the latest IOS (6.1.3) and it was when finishing the installation that he ran into the problems with forgetting his password.
    Short of creating a new ID, does anyone have any bright ideas?

    Call Apple Care for your country and request help resetting the password.

  • I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

    I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later."  and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    Hello, constance132. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50. 
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

    If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

  • I keep getting password error and I've changed my password 3 times

    I keep getting password error when I try to get a new app or a book from iBooks?

    I was having a similar problem before I realised that the reset password page was for US iTunes Store rather than the Australian one (the one I actually use). Changed it by clicking on the little flag in the bottom right hand corner and it suddenly stopped giving me the timed out message. Hope this helps.

  • Erase data and all content on iPhone5, but unable to do so, it keeps asking password and keeps saying password is incorrect

    I bought new iPhone6, I got all data updated from icloud to new iPhone6.
    Now I want to erase all contents from iPhone5
    But unable to do so.
    Every time it keeps asking for Apple ID password, even though i enter correct password, it keeps saying password is incorrect...

    You have apps that need updating that were purchased with that other account.
    To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Hi, Since updating to 10.7.2 I cannot make any changes to my web site. I just keep getting the same stupid message asking if I have an account even though I am already logged in. Any thoughts. Thanks

    Go and log out of your MobileMe account and then try logging back in again with a dummy username and password.  This can help clear it and then just log back in again with your normal username and password.
    Note though that iWeb does not require a password or username to use it - this is MobileMe.
    Also, start thinking about MobileMe alternatives before you are forced to in June.

  • I'm unable to open Safari.  I keep getting a alert security message Suspicious Activity Might Have been Detected. How can I fix this proplem?

    I'm unable to open Safari.  I keep getting a alert security message Suspicious Activity Might Have been Detected. How can I fix this problem?

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
