ICloud password doesn't work
Ever since updating to Mavericks, every time I turn on or restart my laptop, I am prompted to enter my iCloud password. This is annoying enough, but to make matters worse, it keeps telling me I am entering the wrong password. I AM NOT! Help?
Go to www.icloud.com and try to login, if you are told that the password is incorrect, it's incorrect.

After updating to iOS 8, iCloud password doesn't work (iPad)
I posted this to the iPad forum as well but upon poking around here this seems like it might be the most likely forum to get an answer.
My primary email address is my icloud.com address. (Actually it is my old mac.com address, which, as you probably know, is now just an alias for icloud.com -- same thing for people who use me.com email addresses).
After updating my iPad Mini 2 from iOS 7 to iOS 8.2 today, it seems that it will not accept my iCloud password.
When I went through the initial setup of the device after upgrading to iOS 8.2, there didn't seem to be any problem. But once the iPad was in everyday working mode, it continually asks me for the iCloud password whenever I do anything iCloud related on the device. I have entered the password at least 40 times and it just pops back up a second later challenging me for the password again.
This password is working fine on my iPhone and iMac, so it isn't that I've forgotten the password or something...
Any ideas what is going on?I have the same problem,
just updated my 5s to 8.2 and neither iphone nor ipad are accepting the password.
i reset the password twice but nothing change.
i am not able to:
access App store
Access I-tunes
Access i-cloud
Buy from app store
or install from app store.
when i am triing to install a free aps it told me ottieni, then install when i press install it says ottieni again. bot on iphone and ipad2.
Moreover I have full access to i-cloud and itunes store via browser on pc with the same user id and password. -
I have been unable to log in to iCloud on my iMac. None of the hints online have worked. I can't sign in (with any password), sign out, the forget password doesn't work, the support button doesn't work. It's locked. I can't find anyway to fix this - I need to add a new printer ASAP - help!!!
The "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" window popped up a couple of weeks ago and is asking for my Apple ID password, which it will not accept, It won't sign me out (I am not logged in), the support or forgot password buttons won't work. With this window stuck open, I cannot access anything on system preferences. I can't find any way to make it go away. I have tried both my current and old Apple ID passwords, tried using FaceTime to login with the newer password, etc.

So, apparently I have two Apple IDs associated with my iPhone. One is an old aol address that got hacked and was shut down. Even aol doesn't recognize the email address anymore, and the password doesn't work. It's associated with my iCloud account, so now I can't access that account. My other Apple ID is with everything associated with my iPhone and everything works just fine. But now I can't get to my iCloud stuff. Has this ever happened to anyone else. The guy at the Apple store says he's never heard of it.
Does the alert refer to "Local Items?"

Ios 8 icloud backup doesn't work
Hello,
I've a problem with my iPad 2 and iOS 8.
When I try to make backup to iCloud, it doesn't work.
It takes hours and then stops, meanwhile my network upstream is at full capacity.
I haven't enabled iCloud Drive, because I use a Mac too.
Does iCloud Backup on iOS 8 doesn't work on the "old" iCloud?I have the same problem,
just updated my 5s to 8.2 and neither iphone nor ipad are accepting the password.
i reset the password twice but nothing change.
i am not able to:
access App store
Access I-tunes
Access i-cloud
Buy from app store
or install from app store.

I had to reset my Apple password and now my iTunes and iCloud passwords no longer work. How do I get them linked again and under the same password. I've tried my new password on each login screen and it isn't accepted.
Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe -
Upgraded to Mountain Lion, now my login password doesn't work
Hello,
As the title says, I upgraded my iMac with Mountain Lion, and now my password doesn't work. I can't log in to the computer at all.
And no, I didn't forget it. It's been the same since I first got it (so an unfortunate hack on wireless wouldn't be out of the question...)
Suggestions? Solutions?
ThanksWelcome to the Apple Support Communities

My password doesn't work. Can't open with digital editions two ebooks bought on chapitre.com
I just set up my yahoo email account on Mail, but
whenever I try receive or send email Mail asks me for
my password. I enter my password, and then it tells
me that the server rejected my password. I have
checked two dozen times to make sure that I am
entering the right password. It is definitely the
right one, but the server always rejects it. When I
long on to my yahoo account on the web, my password
works fine. What am I doing wrong? I don't want to
call yahoo either because they charge you for support.
i get this all the time. i have pop forwarding with yahoo!, and it has worked well with mac mail for a couple of years - but every once-in-a-while, i get the 'password rejected' dialog box. it's really annoying. -

My password doesn't work for itunes
My password doesn't work for itunes
I was wrong --- turns out I did create a password long ago for my first backup, different than my iTunes password, and fortunately I was able to remember it. The restore worked fine once I gave it the password that it wanted.

The software Sticky Password Doesn't work.
the plugin Sticky Password doesn't work in Firefox 37.
Changed the Product forum this thread is in from Thunderbird to Firefox so no need to create a duplicate thread.
This is a Extension in Firefox and not a Plugin like Flash or Java.
Also you are Testing builds on the Beta channel (currently at 37.0'''b3''') and Extensions like these tends to only support the current Release at most which is Firefox 36. www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
In the Sticky Password software you can go to "Settings - Supported browsers and install the extension" as I guess that may be where there are updates? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948577 -
In my dock there was this weird program called "tutorial". While throwing away this program I had to fill in my password. Afterwards I tried to change my password, but my old password doesn't work anymore. Who can help?
What was this program for, or did you just assume it's something you shouldn't have and therefore arbitrarily decide to "throw it away"? Exactly how did you supposedly throw it away?
If you didn't change your administrator password, there's no reason it shouldn't work now, so that suggests you did something else, or changed it and then forgot what it was.
You can't recover that password; you can only change it. To do that, you would need to boot from your Snow Leopard DVD, choose your language, then choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu in the top menu bar. -
I just bought a new apple imac pro laptop. the did the updats at the store and put in a password for me.I got home and the password doesn't work.
Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
Good luck,
