ID and Password info rejected on iCloud

This also applies to my iTunes account. I recently changed my Apple ID and password but when I go to iCloud my old ID is displayed and any password I try is rejected. So I try to reset the password. As is normal I was told an email had been sent to reset the password. None came. I then tried the secret answers. When asked for my date of birth it was rejected!! I do know my date of birth! So I am stuck. I can't do a thing to change my ID and password. I'd be grateful for help with this.

Try going to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue".

Is it safe/secure to enter one's apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?

Is it safe/secure to enter one's Apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?
I would imagine this applies to any iOS mobile device. I need to set up a video conference at a local library meeting room. I was going to use my MacBook Pro and Facetime. When I open Facetime on my MBP, it prompts me for my Apple id and password. If I were to enter it when connected to a pulic wifi, is the transmission of my account info visible?
What about when connecting to something like an Optimum Online hotspot where I need a username and password to access the wifi? Is that any more secure?
Thanks

Thanks. I had heard stories of Apple ids and passwords being stolen when using pulic wi fi.
Thanks again.

Do i need a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

after having my mbp upgraded with new m.lion by apple tech service i noticed that applications like iphoto, garageband and imovie are gone
researched online and was told that i had to acess the `purchase` via AppStore where it asks me to log in with Apple ID and password
i used the usual admin login and password and didnt work, also on itunes and icloud the similar case
do i need to register with a separate appleID and password for itunes store, icloud and app store apart from my admin login and password?

Just use the same Apple ID and password that you used to access this forum - that's your Apple ID.
The user name and password on your computer has nothing to do with your Apple ID.
Good luck,

If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.

Ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server"

i've a pretty busy server, fully configured with correct DNS.
running 10.6.8, uptodate. i've stopped the ical service, and removed it from the server settings.
then i created a folder on my RAID /volumes/raid/ical, set its ownership to _calendar:_calendar (uid 93), rwx,rx,-
then added the iCal service back, and set the data store to this new folder.
authentication is set to digest (to reduce potential kerberos errors), with SSL on.
i then started the service
an existing user CANNOT connect to the caldav server. i get the error: ical "authentication failed. your username and password were rejected by the server".
if i create a NEW user, that user can correctly connect to the Caldav server. On first joining, an entry is created in the __uids__ folder and the calender works.
SO. WHAT IS GOING ON?
this is 10.6, so i do not have an option in WGM to 'enable calendering'. i've used the inspector to check for differences, but i can't see any.
help. please. and no comments about DNS. the fact i can get a new user to function means that is excluded. no comments about SSL. ditto. no comments about kerberos, its turned off. thanks.

I often think of things in terms of time it takes to figure out the solution to the problem vs time it takes to nuke and pave.
Dare I ask... How many users would you have to remake?
150 users would probably take 2 hours to recreate?
...Have you spent 2 hours on this problem yet? How about 4 or 6?
Perhaps you could have typed up 450 remade users so far!
I have a great idea as to how to change ownership of home folders to users after they're created.
Thoughts on the problem... (but don't spend too much time on it!)
What about crypt vs open directory password?
In WGM, select the user, click the advanced tab, and ensure that your users have OD based passwords?
...sometimes that pull-down menu displays OD, but it's not really. Try selecting OD, retype the password there, and save.
See if it works.
What about in server admin.... Select the server in question, click the access button at the top.
Ensure that your services are allowed for all users to use the iCal service.
In the iCal service in Server Admin...
Host name setting? It's a stretch as new users seem to work. Ensure it's correct?
For the sake of argument... Change authentication type to Any Method... If you're running OD on the server, Kerberos is running. I know that certain services require it even though you have the option. Perhaps iCal is being finiky without it?
I apologize if you've tried all these, but as a user forum, you'll typically get users that don't believe that you've tried the basics. It's honestly the best place to start. Seeing as we don't know what you've done, it's the best advice you'll get.

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

PowerBook G4 boots to unfamiliar login. List of known user accounts does not appear and original admin user name and password is rejected. What is going on here?

There are no children, nor other suspicious characters that have "played" with my computer. One moment I'm in, the next time I turn on/restart the powerbook I'm at a screen with the name of the hard drive and two fields: username and password. Not a list with pictures and names ie 'Katie Jo' with an orange icon and 'Guest' with a silhouette of a head.
In an attempt to remedy this problem, I backed up files using target disk mode and firewire cable. I then, rebooted in single user mode, typed in the correct script and essentially made the computer appear virgin again. Original start up welcome screen display with multiple languages, and then set up prompts such as language, network, and registration. After completing the cues and the "just a few more questions" page, I press continue and am left at a grey standstill, with the continue button greyed out, and no other actions. I'm only able to "go back" by clicking the go back button, all the way to the beginning of the set up, and as I proceed through the steps a second time, I'm greeted with the same halt. What is this?

I have created Apple id and password to set up icloud but its not taking in the same login id and password

I have created Apple id and password to set up icloud but its not taking in the same login id and password. Should i have an Apple product in order to install icloud? becoz i am using HP PC
thanks ria

You can on create an iCloud account on an iiPhone, iPad or iPod Touch( running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher).
After creating an account on one of these devices you can then sign into the account on your PC, but you can't create the account on a PC.

My entries for serial number, apple id, and passwords are rejected. I need serious help. Thank you all.

On my IMac using Yosemite 10, I cannot find any of my passwords. When I enter information that is mine, I see it's not valid. Cannot seem to get help anywhere. I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords. Any help you all can give me will be so very appreciated. I am a little old 80 year old Apple user who is out of her depth trying to fix the problems. Thank you all and hurry.

Cannot seem to get help anywhere.
Where did you seek help from? If your iMac is still under warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can call Apple tech support. Since you have an iMac, a tech will come to your home to troubleshoot if it cannot be done over the phone.
I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.
Finder>Go>Utilities>Keychain Access.app. You do not need a password.
Anybody else has access to your comp?
Check out the various Knowledge Base Articles: CLICKY CLICK--->Apple ID Support
Serial#s you will need to set up new ones.

Using windows 7 and FF4, randomly when I open FF all of my username and password info for my websites has been removed and i have to re enter my login info. I did not have this problem with 3.6.

None of my security settings are being changed and this is not being caused by any anti spyware program. if I go back to 3.6 i do not have the problem. I have reinstalled FF4 and now, 4.0.1, thinking it might be corrected but still the problem persists and I get tired of having to reenter login information for 20 or more websites every couple of days.

I also had terrible issues with 2 Wire Gateway and my mid-2010 MacBook Pro. We changed to WPA2 and that seems to have fixed the problem. The AT&T tech support person, Phillipines, was extremely helpful. She went through network settings with me. One interesting step was going into my DNS tab (Network Preferences and then Advanced Button) and replacing my entries with these:
68.94.156.1
68.94.157.1
It's been several days and I've only seen a few random packet drops. Still charging along at full signal strength.

OS 10.7.3 and Mail rejects my icloud password

I use a new imac (recently replaced my old one for iCloud readiness) with 4GB memory, OS 10.7.3, and Mail regularly rejects my icloud password. I have checked the account settings and they are as suggested. I have no problem with my iPad or my iPhone which are both running iOS 5+, and my password works fine everywhere else Apple-y.
It happens at least once per day, and when I cancel the request for password in a few minutes, without further action on my part, Mail decides it does know my password after all! o.O Curious. Not debilitating, but mildly annoying.
Could this be an icloud issue? Maybe they need to work on this? Or (gasp) is it just me!

Hey ! Laady!
      iam out of country and so use of Apple Care is muted as impractical. So anyway, the dreaded "password not recognized by server" keeps leering away at me. This happening 7 days after i leave plus no Apple Care, just what the doctor ordered..      the sick doctor that is.
       So anyway, today i'm strolling through 'System Prefs' and my eyes light on 'Mail,Contacts&Calendars' hmmm_click.
      The path found:
       _System Preferences_Mail,Contacts & Calendars_icloud_    Then: enter icloud email address
                                                                                                              enter icloud password
                                                                                                               _Create Apple ID
       Worked like a charm and it may for others.

TS3988 I am using mountain lion. iCloud works fine with my iMac iPads and iPhone with one annoying exception. I cannot use the systems preferences on my iMac because I cannot log in. When entering my apple id and password I get a window saying "You can

I cannot log into systems preferences for icloud on my imac. icloud works on all devices including the imac, but I get the window "You can't sign in at this time" when using system preferences on the imac. I am using mountain lion, but it didn't work on lion either. Help

You may wish to try the following:
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

Admin username and password not recognized for upgrade

I'm trying to upgrade a user account on my computer to Yosemite. This is that not the admin account. My admin username and password are rejected. It is also rejected when I try to do something such as change the power settings. If I'm doing this within my admin account the same username and password work just fine. I have no idea how to fix this.

One more follow up question. I logged back into my admin account to upgrade to Yosemite. The software was already downloaded in the user account using the apple ID and PW associated with that account, which is different than the apple ID associated with the admin account.
Within my admin account, on the first page of the app store app it shows OSX Yosemite as 'downloaded' and nothing happens when I click that button.
The only other option is to click 'learn more' under the OSX Yosemite image. From that page it asks me to sign in to the App store to download Yosemite. The Apple ID box already contains the other Apple ID (not the one I want to use), and there is no option to change that. All I can do is enter that password.
I'd like to complete this with my Apple ID but I don't know how to change it.

Outlook/Thunderbird - username and password are re...

When I start Outlook or Thunderbird to access my email's, my username and password are rejected by the server even though they are entered correctly. (A pop up window appears asking me to enter my password). The only way to gain access to my email's through Outlook or Thunderbird is to log on to the BT Yahoo webmail page and log out of my BT Yahoo email account on this page and log back in again. Once I do this then Outlook or Thunderbird can now access my emails. This lasts for about an hour or so before the error message pops up again.
I have set up Outlook on several PC'/Laptops in my home and they all show this error, either at Outlook start up or after a period of time.
I have already reported this problem this week and had a BT Tech take over my laptop to try and solve the problem but to no avail. I tried to explain the scenario above to her but she did not accept that the problem could be at the BT server end. Something at your server end is periodically rejecting my login credentials for whatever reason and the only “fix” is as described above (the logout of webmail and login back in fix).
It may only be coincidence but this problem seems to have occurred since I had BT Infinity installed a couple of weeks ago.
I have set my email on my laptop to be both POP3 and IMAP and the error occurs using both setups.

There's a shedload on this if you search the forums. It's a Yahoo! server problem which BT can't/won't get them to fix. I believe it doesn't usually affect IMAP though.

Unable to set parental controls on itunes b/c my username and password are not correct. How do I reset them? There is no prompt to give any clues what they are.

unable to set parental controls on Itunes b/c my user name and password got rejected. How do I reset them or figure out my username and password?

This is a user to user support forum. We are all iphone users just like you.
You are not addressing Apple here at all.
This is an odd way to ask your fellow iphone users for help. Berating oterh users will not help you.
"it's too fragile"
No it is not. i have never damaged one, nor has anyone I know.
" U loose data when Ur phone is locked"
No you don't. Why do you think this?
"and there is no customer support!!! "
Wrong yet again. Apple has an 800 number and they have many retail stores and they have support articles that you can access using the search bar. Or you can contact them throgh express lane online
"but I will go back with Blackberry "
Please do.
Good ridance
