IMessage won't recognize my apple password.

Can't get iMessage or face time to work. Neither of these programs will recognize my apple login. Anyone know how to fix this?

When I try to use iMessage or face time they ask for my Apple password. When I put the password in it comes back with message "face time activation. Could not sign in. Please check you network connection and try again." The iMessage gives the same message. Wifi is running And other apps like this safari are working.

  • IPhone won't recognize new Apple ID

    I updated my desktop iTunes to the new Apple ID - added an @aol.com to the end - per the new "rules". Now my iPhone 4s will not recognize my new password and prompts me to update my account when I type the old one. Can't update apps or sign into iTunes on my phone. I keep getting the pop-up "You need to update your account with iTunes Desktop." I've done that. When the prompt pops up for me to enter my password to update my apps it says my ID WITHOUT the @aol.com, which leads me to believe my phone doesn't "know" my "new" username. I've done soft resets on the phone (two), signed in and out of everything associated with iTunes and iCloud and tried putting in passwords dating back to a year. It won't recognize my new password but throws the "you need to update" prompt up when I try to use an old password. HALP.

    I have taken the steps you said to do, but my iPhone is not recognizing my "old" password that I need to put in to turn off "Find my iPhone." I can't sign out. Which means I can't sign back in. I am able to sign in to forums like this with my new apple ID. But I can't get into my iCloud on my laptop. It seems like in order to try to deal with this problem I have changed my ID and password so many times that now I can barely log in anywhere. Should I just go to a Verizon or Apple store? Can they override my system and reset everything or something?

    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 have an external seagate 2tb drive with 3 partitions each with encrypted passwords. What must I do if one of the drives won't recognize it's password?

    I would have to say the LCD display or possibly the inverter as the graphics adapter can properly output to an external monitor. This would be repaired under warranty.

  • HT5395 AFter installing IOS 7 Imessage does not recognize my Apple ID password.

    Itunes and Icloud still recognizes my Apple Id password.  Whenever I try utilizing Imessaging on my IMAC it shows that the account is inactive and offline.  When I send a text message to another Iphone etc. from my phone and ipad mini it will only send it as a message (green bubble)  and not an imessage (blue). On my Imac, I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID password.  When I do I get an error message that says "server encountered an error processing registration, try again later."  This has been going on for a week now.

    Hi,
    Did the repair of the Hard Drive involve the Mother/logic board at all ?
    At OS X 10.8.2 Apple introduce a security measure that involves using the Mac's Serial Number.
    It is held on the main board and can be read by the Apple icon Menu > About this Mac
    Click twice on the current OS X level. It will change to the Build Number  (another way of counting the OS) and then to the Serial Number.
    If the Number is missing you will have to visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) to have it put back.

  • Itunes won't recognize a valid password

    Here's a weird one. (MacBook Pro 2.4G 10.6.2) Tried to buy something on the itunes store, and my password does not work. So, I recover the password. Still doesn't work. Then I reset the password... 3 times. None of those work either.
    So, I go to my office computer (Mac Pro 8-core 10.6.2) and reset the password again. Works fine. I can access the itunes store or anything else on Apple's site. I take that same password into the other room, and using the MacBook Pro, the itunes store says "invalid user or password" and will not allow me on. Yet, I am still on that computer, using that same password, to log into the forums here... This computer will log into Apple but not into itunes.
    itunes support says that since the password is stored on their site, it should work on either computer. It doesn't.
    Ideas??
    thanks

    I am having a similar issue. I recently tried to sync my Ipod with iTunes and got a message saying 100 songs were not autorized and I need to authorize computer. Odd as I have been syncing these devices for years. I go to authorize, and iTunes won't recognize my password. I change password. Still no luck. then I go to STORE>>VIEW MY ACCOUNT, and using the same user ID and password I can access all my info. But when I try STORE>>AUTHORIZE COMPUTER, I get the failed message again. How is that possible? So, now I have music I can't play on my iPod for absolutely no reason.

  • ICloud won't recognize my new password on MacBook Air

    I recently changed my Apple ID password. My iPad and iPhone have accepted my new password, but I cannot enter new password into iCloud in system preferences on my MacBook Air. What am I doing wrong?

    Is it possible that it could not change your password in iCloud because you were not logged into iCloud at the time when you changed your Apple ID password ?
    If so did you try using your old password to access the iCloud and then sync everything up and then log off and back on to iCloud and see if it recognizes your new password ?

  • HT201422 It's been over 24 hours, and Apple iMessage will not accept my Apple password

    I've gone into settings, checked things on the Mac and on my iPhone.  The iPhone is set and works perfectly.  The iMessage on Mac worked perfectly until yesterday.  I use Chrome, but went back to Safari and it still doesn't work.  Help, please.

    I have gone to Apple help page for iMessage, Google Help Pages for Google Talk (because the menu asks for a talk.google.com password)
    but there is no page for Message, Google Message or any Message at all.  It synchs with Google email, so I went to the help page for that.  I tried logging into my internet accounts again - Gmail in particular.  When I went into preferences and internet accounts, iMessage asked for my Apple password.  So I tried that.  I had also tried logging in using my Google password - supposed to work with all Google apps - and my Gmail password.  Even tried an old password.  I got this screen:
    When I hit the Cancel button, it will not cancel but keeps popping up.  Just now, it was 8 times before it stopped.  All other Google functions are working and are connected when I look in internet accounts.
    When I click on the message icon, it opens, but the screen is grayed out:
    However, it did update one message from this morning.  The messages are otherwise not there between 11/30 and Dec 2, today.

  • I updated my iPhone and now it won't accept my Apple password.

    After "upgrading" to iOS7, my phone continues to tell me that my Apple password is incorrect. I've changed the password, received confirmation that the new password is good, entered the new one, and - - - been told that the password is incorrect. Except it worked just fine logging on to this fine support network, so I don't think it's the password. I also checked the settings, and my user name and password are ok there.
    Apple customer support is being very nice, but offering no solutions. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks!

  • ITunes will not recognize my Apple password on my iPad.  I have tried resetting the iPad.

    I am trying to update some of the applications on my iPad. My email address recently changed. I made the appropriate changes in my Apple account. My Apple password is not being accepted when I try and use the update function on iTunes, eventhough the address had not changed.  Furthermore the address displayed on the iTunes is the old address eventhough  I have logged into my Apple account and made sure the email addresse and password is correct.  How can I make iTunes accept my password and display my new email address?

    Hey guys,
    first of all: Sorry for my bad english
    Here you can find the german version: http://www.netz-treff.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=323268#e323268
    I had the same problem, directly after updating my iPad2 to iOS6. Orientation lock was definitly not activited - I tested with software-lock from the dock and with hardware-lock on the side of the iPad.
    I tried different ways to get back my screenorientation
    First recovered the factory defaults, then restored from backups and at last I started it as a new iPad and not from an iCloud-Backup. I tapped the device (funny idea), but this didn't work also.
    But now... it works!!
    I runned the iPad-Power lower than less.
    1% left and when the iPad was shuting down, I didn't connect the cable, I pushed the power-button again and again. The iPad shows the "oh, please charge me!"-Icon, but I didn't
    Yesterday I pushed the power-button some times, but still didn't connect the cable.
    Today I pushed the power-button 60 seconds and after that I tabbed all sides from the iPad (really funny idea, but I can't loose, so why not  ) and then I connected the power-cable and charged the iPad.
    After some hours I started the iPad ... and it works
    Later, after finishing party, I restored to factory defaults again and restored a backup from iCloud from the time  the screen orientation didn't work ... it workes.
    Yeeeehhhaaaaa!!!
