Icloud pop up won't accept my appleid password

The icloud pop up keeps showing up and won't accept my my appleid, even after I've changed it and have rebooted the ipad numerous times!!! I'm almost to the point of smashing this thing into pieces.

Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac then go back and sign back in.  Note: this only removes the iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your data will reappare on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

  • Why won't Apple TV accept my AppleID password?

    Why won't Apple TV accept my AppleID password?

    Same here. When I want to sign in to iCloud I enter my password as requested which then takes me to the Apple Terms & Condition screen, so I hit the agree button, then it says connecting but then takes me back to the Terms & Condition page. It keeps repeating the same thing every time I hit the Agree button.

  • My ipad2 won't accept my apple password for new app install. I've tried several time and get a pop up "unknown error". Help?

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

    I changed my apple ID, now iCloud doesn't see my new ID, but won't accept my old password either.

    I tried that now. I was forced to "delete" everything on the cloud, and now I tried signing in exactly as you described, about 45 mins ago, and I'm still waiting for it to actually sign in.

  • HT201303 The Itunes store constantly asks me to Improve Apple ID Security by adding three secret questions but won't accept my valid password.  I have tried to reset the password, update the billing info and it still won't let me make any purchases.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

    I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

    Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
    I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
    Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
    When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
    In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
    I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
    Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
    Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
    Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
    Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
    On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
    Good luck!

  • 11.1.3 won't accept my user password for updates

    After upgrading iTunes to 11.1.3, it now continiously asks me for my AppleID password when I try to update my apps.  I've checked that the Apple ID name and password are correct.  In fact, if I type in the wrong password, it will tell me 'Incorrect Password'.   But when I type in the correct one, it simply redisplays the authorization window....

    After trashing all the relevant preferences, still no fix....
       It should be noted that when I deauthorize my computer, and then reauthorize it, it has no problem accepting my AppleID password to get this done.  Upgrading applications, no go.

  • My iphone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix it?

    My iPhone won't accept my iTunes password for it's updates. How do I fix this? Or what is the number of an actual person (no AI) that I can contact to help me?

    Hi,  Did you find a fix for this?  I have the same issue, I've logged out of everything I can think of on my phone and logged back in again and it appears to accept the password.  Yet when I try and update my apps it says that the password is incorrect!  Ive reset my passwords both AOL and Apple.  When I log on via a PC it accepts them, but when I try and buy / update something via the app store on my phone it says that the password is incorrect.  Ive made sure that software levels are up to date etc.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

  • All of a sudden my iphone 4 won't accept my wifi password does anyone know how I can fix this?

    suddenly my iphone won't accept my wifi password. I know the wifi is working because i can use my computer and up until today it worked on my phone too...what gives???? helpful suggestions please.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Icloud Won't accept my AppleID Username and Password

    Hi -
    iCloud will not accept my Appleid username and password...why is that?  Can someone help!
    Thanks,
    RCWB

    @Hackintosh-Thanks for sharing your thoughts, he was in fact a Senior Advisor.  And yes, I totally agree with on all your points.  He was out of line and not understanding clearly what the sitatution and principle was about.  I am not a sucker, anymore that is, lol.  I wouldn't let of course and called again.  Fortunately, the Advisors I spoke to both said to your point an exception should be made on my favor.
    I was then able to work with a Senior Advisor and did all kinds of stuff and agrees, the situation is completely out of the users league and relates to the Preferences inability to save changes to login and make changes for the mail system too.  What we found interesting was the fact that we logged out and logged in another test user and logged in with my apple id just fine.  We saw iCal download from iCloud and seen it work, weird.  But because the issue was about the master Admin computer login, we needed the fix on that account, not the test account.  We were on it for say an hour all over the system trying to get it to work, but now it has been escalated to the engineers and designers to get a deeper look into it.  I suggested to somehow trace the connection to server since the server is rejecting the password, that should be the mode of investigation.
    Anyways, he said it could take up to 4 calendar days to resolve, will update with further progress.
