IMessage keeps telling me my password is wrong when i reset it, how do i get back onto iMessage?
How can i get back on? It keeps telling me my password or login ID is wrong when they're really not.
Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given.

Sync keeps telling me my password is wrong, i have reset it several times.
I have set up sync for my android and my desktop however when I try to sync my mobile is telling me my password is wrong and when I try to relog into sync via the browser on my desktop it tells me the password is wrong. I have deleted and reset the password a couple of times. If i can delete my account the password is obviously not wrong since I have to be able to log into the account to delete it. I dont know.
There was a problem with the Firefox Sync server yesterday that probably caused this issue. Sync should work correctly if you try it again today.

Why does google keep telling me my password is wrong
It works fine on my I pad but my i phone does not show e mails or messages

i want to download an app, it keeps telling me my password is wrong, I changed it on my mac and it was accepted, but the iphone still says it's wrong
This same thing happend to me, you have to make a new account and you have to chose your birthday as if your under 18 or 16, because if you dont own a credit card, you shouldnt be over this age, so basictly just make a new email and appleID and when you chose your birthday, do it under 16 years of age (or your REAL birthday) and you should have an option of clicking "none" for credit card options, but if you want to buy something, you will have to do the credit card stuff, or you can just buy an apple gift card at basictly any store, So this is how i fixed my problum, i hope it works for you, write back your responce of how it worked out please!

When I try to update apps in the app store from my iPhone 4s, it says the password is incorrect. I'm positive it's correct. I even went through yesterday and changed my passwords just in case (I have two apple ids - they now both have the exact same password.) I was able to go to the app store yesterday and download an app using that password, but then tried to update some apps and it says the password is incorrect - and it's said that ever since. I can go to settings and log into the store with the password - view my cc info, etc. So it's definitely correct. Heck, I can even log into this forum with that password - so it's definitely the right one. What can I do?
Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...

Can you log-in to web based gmail without issues?
Just delete your gmail accounts from your iPhone and Mac, and set them up again using your new password. I'm not an iPhone user and I don't use the stock Mail client in OS X (so unfortunately, I can't give you a step-by-step) but setting up the accounts again should solve your issue. -
i know my password for my ipod. but the ipod touch fourth generation i have my brother tried a lot of codes and locked me out of it. how do i do a hard reset on it?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
