Imessages " telling me my password was incorrect "
Imessages " telling me my password was incorrect "
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.

I wanna ask about my iMessages, because everytime that I am using my apple ID it is always saying that my username and password was incorrect.But I am really sure that I have input the correct username as well as my password.How can I resolve this problem?
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Hey guys,
I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally. -
"itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" I know for a fact im using the correct password. and it has previously worked. is anyone else having this issue.
Hi, I also get the message "itunes could not restore the iphone because the password was incorrect" though I am never prompted to enter a password anywhere! Nor was the backup password encrypted to begin with! Really strange, any pointers will be greatly appriciated!

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?

I have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.
So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID. -
where are all of my free apps? I went to download all apps and it was there yesterday but said my password was incorrect. now I fixed my password (i think) but the download all apps is not there.
this didn't help. It says all app are up to date and I did not download any. Suppose to get the following free plus others:
iphoto, imovie, garageband, pages, numbers and keynote. where do i get these free? -
Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
Hi Experts:
I am using Apache 1.3.26, JBoss 3.0.0 (embedded with Catalina) on IBM Unix.
When I start my JBoss Server, I get following message wonder why:

It seems that major issues is "KEYSTORE WAS TAMPERED or PASSWORD was INCORRECT" - I have no idea what this means.
Can anyone throw light on this please?
THANKS!my first guess is that you forgot to add the Factory entry within the CoyoteSSL connector that specifies where the key file is found as well as the password. can you verify that?

SSL Init failed: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
Hi all,
I encountered the following error while I try to get the output stream to write out the content into an HTTPS connection.
java.net.SocketException: Default SSL context init failed: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
at javax.net.ssl.DefaultSSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Unknown Source)

}Due to the server is deployed in clustered env, I have put the truststore and keystore in a shared folder which allows the nodes to access. Thus in my code I have set the truststore, keystore location and the truststore, keystore password in the System properties as follow.
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", getKeyStore());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", getKeyStorePass());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", getTrustStore());
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", getTrustStore());The getKeyStore() and getTrustStore() will be returned the path to the shared folder which contain the truststore/keystore respectively.
The keystore tampered error only happened intermitently. I am sure that my keystore and truststore password is set correctly.
Could I know that is the keystore designed in a way that it can be accessed by multiple thread? will there be any file locking on the keystore while two thread trying to init the HTTPS and eventually cause the keystore tampered problem?
ThanksIn my case, I am certain that all fields are correct, because the code works half the time. The thing is my code is running inside Tomcat (as a servlet); I am noticing that whenever I update my Jar with any code change and restart Tomcat, I am hitting this issue intermittently. Another update-and-restart sometimes solves the problem & my connection establishment is successful.
There are 2 key things I would like to know:
1) Difference b/w the exception messages "<span class="jive-subject"> Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
" and " failed to decrypt safe contents entry ".
2) Whether any caching is going on because of Tomcat being in the picture (although I am not at all sure why this should happen).
Would love to get through with this ASAP. Please let me know your thoughts if any.
Thanks,

Today, while I was using my email, it suddenly stopped working and told me that my email required a password. When I went into settings to put in a password, the phone told me it was incorrect. When I got home to try and figure out what was going on, I had a message on my computer saying that my email account had been compromised, so I changed my password. I still could not put this password into my phone - I was getting the message from the phone that the password was incorrect. What is going on???
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do. -
Just started getting "The Apple Id you entered couldn't be found or the password was incorrect". Any ideas why? iTunes is running, the Apple Id and password are being entered correctly.
Hi skn728,
If you can verify that your Apple ID and password are correct by logging in at AppleID.apple.com and are certain that all your apps were purchased under that ID, you may want to try manually logging out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, then logging back in.

Hi, I cannot access my gmail from my iphone. The password is correct and I can access fine from my computer but the iphone keeps telling me the password is incorrect. Any ideas?
I believe Gmail has an option for Two-Step verification that may require a different password for mobile devices than for your computer.

Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?
I'm having the same problem as well. I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup". When I entered it I got the same error message:
"The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
Really frustrating.
I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!
