In attempts to reconcile with the recent updates to Apple products/iTunes accounts, I have changed my password and settings on all of my Apple devices.  Still, all of them repeatedly ask me to sign in, and sign in again, to my AppleID.

I have a Macbook (2011), an iPad 3, and an iPhone 5.  My son also has an iPhone 4, which logs in under my AppleID.  I spent my entire day off yesterday trying to reconcile the issues with our devices.  I had not used my Macbook for a couple of weeks, as I had had to replace my charger for the fifth time in three and a half years-different story for a different time (My last Macbook's supposedly inferior charger lasted the duration of my ownership of it and then some, by the way.).  Anyway, my Macbook repeatedly asked me to log in, alternately, to my iCloud and then my FaceTime. No sooner would I enter my password for iCloud than it would ask for my Facetime password; I entered the password for Facetime, and the iCloud password would be requested, so on.  The text boxes would not go away.  Other programs' windows would not open in front of them.  I searched here and other forums, having moved a FaceTime password request to the far right of my screen & minimizing my Safari window, so as to fully see my search results.  I turned my Mail off and on, no luck.  I logged out of iCloud completely, to no avail.  Finally, I changed my AppleID password.  This seemed to work...for my Macbook.  It no longer asks me for my passwords.  Now, however, I cannot even update apps on my iPad, despite the fact that I have logged out of and back into my iCloud on my iPad.  This is NOT why have staunchly defended my choice to use strictly Apple products for the last decade.  I feel like a Windows user.  I was going to upgrade to the iPhone 6 Plus when my current contract is up in a couple of months, but if this is the future of Apple....
Anyway, if anyone has answers or a solution, I would greatly appreciate the guidance.  So disappointed in Apple right now. 

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with your new credentials.  If all you did was modify your existing ID rather than creating and entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  Your data will still be in iCloud and will download to your phone when you sign back in.

    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.

  • Hey guys, i get the message "Your Apple ID was deaktivated" I have changed my password and the pay method too but nothing happens

    Hey guys, i get the message "Your Apple ID was deaktivated" I have changed my password and the pay method too but nothing happens

    After resetting your password have you tried logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in to see if that 'refreshes' the account on it and if it then works ?
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

    - Have you tried going to the developer's support website/contacting the developer?
    - Try a reset. It surs many ills and nothng is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • I cannot print emails with the recent update of Firefox on my Mac os10.8.5 but I can on my Macbook Pro os 10.5.8 and Firefox 16.0.2. How can I print with #1?

    I followed the "HELP" suggestion but it said "server not found"

    Hello <!-- XXX you may wish to edit this greeting, and other parts of the response so that it is personalised to the question asked.--> ,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->
    Please report back to say if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Having problems with a recently updated email/apple ID. New email not being recognized.

    I recently changed my email address for my apple ID. I went on  my phone and changed/updated the ITunes and App Store section with my new email. Everytime I try to use an App, a pop up appears with my old email/apple ID and its asking me for a password. How do I get this pop up to stop or better yet how do I get it to display my new email/apple ID? 

    Settings > Store > Sign out.
    Then Sign in with the correct credentials.

  • When logging on to my account a receive this message "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later".  This is not a new account. I have changed my password and nothing works.  What am I doing wrong.

    I'm having trouble logging into facetime.  We do not have a new account.  I've changed the password and still cannot get in.  The message that pops up is "the server encountered an error processing registration.  Please try again later."  I want to talk to my granddaughter but can't.  Can someone help me.  Thanks

    I had to same problem. I found forums about adding the DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in System Preferences - Networks I did that and it still didnt work.  Just found another forum saying to go into System Preferences - Time and Date and check the Set time and Date automatically. And it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

  • I have been tring to get on FaceTime, all day.  I have changed my password, and I still can not get in.  I was on it last night, and today, it says to check modem.  The internet is working and I still can not get in.

    I am  trying to use FaceTime, a lady, and it does not work.  It worked, last nite.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    When was the last time you did a backup with iTunes?  If your latest backup has all of the material you have been using you can recover by connecting to the computer you sync with and restore the content via iTunes.  Attach to your computer, open iTunes and do a backup restore.
