ICloud password disabled - five times in three weeks

Is anyone else having this highly annoying problem? Apple keeps telling me my iCloud password has been disabled, which means I keep having to reset it on all of my devices. It happened again today - and it all started a few weeks back when Apple disabled my first password, presumably after deciding that it wasn't secure enough.
I'm using MacBook Pro; iPhone 4S; iPod Touch 4.
And I am currently based in Cambodia, so phoning the US isn't really on the cards.
I'd be grateful to anyone out there who can help.
Thanks in advance.
Rob

And it happened again today - so that's six times in three weeks.
Yesterday I made sure to update the password for iCloud and iTunes store on all three devices - MacBook Pro, iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4 - and this morning I got the same message again, saying my account has been disabled and I need to reset my password.
As mentioned yesterday, any assistance on resolving this would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob

I have entered dates and specific times on my computers icloud calendar. When I view the dates and times on my iphone the times are three (3) hours later. I have checked the time zone settings on my iphone and it is correct (EST). Where do I go next?

Restoring is the answer. It sounds as if there is a rogue process constantly draining your battery.
The issue you face is that, if you restore your backup thereafter, you risk the problem coming straight back with your files.
Store your files individually and it is time to start fresh.

All of a sudden, when I log in, my iMac is asking for my iCloud password. Every time!

This started earlier this week. Ive never had a problem before. Was there an update that broke some thing. I can't seem to get it to remember it.

I didn't think to look in the keychain. I don't really use it for keeping passwords and the like. I use a separate app for that. I found an expired certificate of some kind, deleted it, logged out of iCloud in the system preferences and let it do all of the deleting it wanted to. Logged back in and bingo, no message. However, for some reason it enabled the Guest user access on my computer. No big deal, just turned it back off.
Thanks for the clue.

Lion Mail and iCloud Password

Alright, I've seen tons of threads all over forums for this, and no real solutions. And I'm wondering why:
Lion Apple Mail keeps asking me for my iCloud password almost every time I fire it up, or randomly when I've got it already open.
Why is that? I've tried deleting the password from the preferences/accounts and re-typing it several times. That didn't work. I've tried reparing the keychain with the keychain app, but that didn't work.
I don't get it. What exactly do I do? Nothing has worked. Do I delete the entire account in Mail and set it up again from scratch? Sometimes it'll ask me repeatedly for it and nothing works, so I have to cancel and quit, and then wait a bit and start Mail again and hope that it'll take it this time around. Sometimes it'll take it the first time I type it in. Sometimes it won't even ask for it at all.
What's the deal? What do I do? I've looked on this forum and other forums dealing with Macs and, like many others, none of the solutions presented have actually worked. So any tips would be greatly appreciated.

If it works now, it will work from now on.
If you check the preferences for that account, you will notice in the advanced tab that it uses Apple Token for log in. No password used. You can also make the other settings for Mailbox Behaviors.
Also note that when you sign out of iCloud or disable the account in the iCloud sys prefs that it will remove iCloud from Mail until it's re enabled or you sign back in.
Good Luck

Reset iCloud password

Hi, I'm having problem to sign in to iCloud coz I don't have the password. I have no problem signing in to my Apple ID though. How do I reset iCloud password? Every time I try to reset it will direct me to reset my Apple ID which I don't need. Help!

See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. An iCloud ID is an Apple ID, and you reset the password the same way you reset the password for any other Apple ID.

Authentication password disabled

On both iPad and iPhone authentication password disabled each time I try to configure email settings.
Mail is sent to Outbox because server rejects it.

If you mean the password to unlock you iPad, you can disable this in Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Turn Passcode Off.

If your ID is disabled, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance, either by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID, or by contacting the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

How can I make my Apple ID security? It has been hacked three times in a week!

Just in a week, I found my apple id(this id) has been hacked for three times!
When I was trying to login in to the ITunes Connect, it returned following error,
    Your Apple ID or password was entered incorrectly.
I'm sure I entered the password correctly that I checked it many times and it's never happens before. So every time it happens, I use the forget password tool to reset the password. Just in a week, the incorrect password occurred 3 TIMES and I have reseted my password 3 TIMES to get control back.
I'm a developer so first time it happens I did aware of there might be hacker. So I cleared all password cache in my machine, scan virus and reset the password of Apple ID and my mailbox in a more complex letters.
However, ever I did so, my password still goes wrong and the error happens again and again.
And one thing I can't understand in this story is,
     - Every time I reset my password I got an email notification, it always works, during my 3 resets.
     - When my password is hacked (I can just assume it's a hack), there's no email notification. I can almost sure the email is not deleted, because no matter how fast it's delete, my mobile should receive a popup anyway.
Now I have tried everything I can but my account is still not safe. I want report this issue to Apple that they can figure out the problem, to avoid a bigger security disaster. But I could not find a contact from apple for this problem, I sent a mail [email protected] but no reply. It's so terrible...
So i ask for help in this forum, I'd appreciate if anybody can help either security suggestion to me or help find the contact of apple.

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now it is fine, but my macbook airport no longer detects it and keeps asking for a WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. I'm getting rather fed up.

Hi, My network went down earlier in the week. Now the network is fine, I can connect through the ethernet cable, but my macbook airport no longer detects it, when prompted, macbook will find it, but I get asked for the WAP. When I put the password in, it 'times out'. Prior to the network problem my macbook worked fine everytime. Anyone know the answer?

My guess is all the issues are probably related and fall back to malware.
AVG is probably correct in identifying malware. So I suggest you try some cleaning tools other than Emsisoft .
ones I use (all of them one after the other until I find one that can cope) are;
Roguekiller http://www.adlice.com/softwares/roguekiller/
Malwarebytes anti malware Free http://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/var2/confirm/
ESET online scanner http://www.eset.com/int/home/products/online-scanner/
So first create a clean boot in Windows using Microsoft's instructions https://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135?wa=wsignin1.0 and then run the anti malware applications.
My outside looking in guess is that malware has set itself up as an internet proxy and is is downloading copies of itself and other malware, blocking some mail port as times as downloading more malware is more important, and probably breaking your tivo as well..
Try the malware programs first. If that does not work I will try and talk you through some logging to see what is happening.

How do I control my airport extremes/time capsules w/airport utility over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function.

How do I use airport utillity with Time Capsule(or any airport extreme) over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function. The mac's that I have not upgraded to icloud still see my routers over the internet with mobile me enabled. Are these routers obsolete now or will there be a firmware update to use icloud?

i want to do the same. i tried entering my @me.com account and does not work, but if I tried to go to icloud.com and using my @me.com works
why?
does the Airport express needs to be upgraded as well
