ID password not recognised
I have reset my password several times - once a few days ago and 3 times today thinking that there was a problem as I couldnt log in on my ipad to install an app. BUT I have been able to sign in her with my current password. any ideas what is going wrong?
OK to clarify exactly.
On Ipad I tried to log in a few days ago but couldn't so reset password.
On Ipad today I tried to log in with new password but Ipad message came up to reset as password wrong (it wasn't)
I reset password twice more and still unable to log in
I came onto laptop to try and search for what was happening and found this forum. I had to log into Apple account to post question and when I tried it accepted my password - the one I entered on last reset
Originally I was going to say I couldn't log in full stop but obviously I could on the laptop. Hence even more confused

When try send email from within iPhoto says password not recognised
Hi,
Trying to send email from withinn iPhoto always get message saying password not recognised even though set correct password email address within preferences in iPhoto. Believe this started when I upgraded to Lion.
Lates Lion and iphoto updates downloaded
Thanks
RickLarryHN I not understand your advice
iPhoto preferences>
Accounts>
there I have Facebook and MobileMe as Accounts
I tried adding new account and the only options (Apple related) offered are MobileMe and Email going
EMail>
again offers iCloud and mobileme
using iCloud doesn't work i.e. the account sets up but still cannot send email through iPhoto
I am registered with iCloud and it works fine in other applications
I am reluctant to delete MobileMe from iPhoto since if I do so I will not be able to add it again I still have photos etc in my MobileMe iDisk which I will need to move somewhere else soon with demise of MobileMe
Thakns for your advice -
For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?
I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password. My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it.
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
Can anybody help?Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain. -
Apple ID password not recognised
Cannot download apps or update iPhone 5 as constantly says applied password invalid. Can sign onto Apple with this password on laptop but not on phone. Why is this? It's driving me insane!!! Have tried resetting password multiple times but still the phone does not recognise the password. Any ideas?
I've updated an iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1.2 and cannot successfully use the App Store App to download even a free app. Because the phone is out of warranty, Apple support will not help.
I click on the App Store Icon, I search for a free app, hit the "Get" button, it thinks for a few seconds, and then asks me for my AppleID password.
I supply that (and I know its correct, because if I enter a honky one, that is immediately diagnosed), it thinks for a few seconds, then returns me to the screen with the "Get" button again. Hitting the button just restarts the password inquiry over again with the same result. No error indication occurs at all.
I don't see how it could be a problem with my internet connection(s). I've tried it with or without wireless router, used Cell data only, taken the phone to a different wireless network, etc... Could App Store app even ask for my password if there was a problem with my connection?
I've tried reanswering my AppleID security questions, updating my credit card information, and changing my password. No help. It doesn't appear to be an AppleID issue. I've searched the internet, Apple's support forums, carried out Apple's tedious procedures for checking the connections, read the docs, etc...
Has anyone seen anything like this? Any suggestions? -
Username and Password not recognised
Hi there, wondered if anyone could help with my latest problem.
My BT Broadband is up and running as is my BT Vision (including on Demand, but NOT Sky Sports)
I received a letter with all of my info showing a user name and password
The username was my email address (@btinternet.com) and the password was letters and number uppercase and lowercase.
BT Fon, My BT and setting my Emails up do not recognise my email address OR/AND my password.
Are there any reason the email address and password could be incorrect at BT's end or do have to wait for another set period of time to activate! Cant send a password reminder either because the email is not recognised so stuck in a circle on this one.
Thanks in advance
RicHi Ric .
Have you just been activated, if so it can take a day or so for MY BT and email to recognise the email address and password.
it could also take a couple of days for fon to work.

My Airport WEP password is not being recognised when I want to login to my home netgear base from my Macbook pro, but the same password is being recognised when another Mac is used. It used to work but they did something with the configuration at work and now I just can't connect.
Most buisnesses don't use WEP anymore due to the risks. I suspect your IT guys changed your Mac to WPA. You need to check this in the Airport settings in System Preferences....
