Inconsistent trouble signing into Websites/apps?

I require some help as I am having trouble signing into things on my mobile, such as Skype and checkoutsmart. the problem manifests sometimes with applications, sometimes with websites. I am 100% sure the passwords I am entering are correct - I have tried them on my laptop, and even got password resets and then copied and pastes, but it won't let me sign in.
It is very inconsistent, for instance the same password works on the Skype app but it does not work if I try and sign into the Skype website - but then if i test the same password on the same site on my laptop it works.
I have checked I am up to date with the latest software, I have even deleted and reinstalled the apps affected, ensured the case of the passwords is right, most of most obvious and normal things to try.
However, none of these fixes have worked. I'm not even 100% sure it was the phone but I didnt have these problems before I started using the handset and I'm not sure what else it could be - if anyone has any advice i'd appreciate it!
Solved!

@Phy he won't be able to load skype in safe mode.
@LogicalHarm Can you try to contact skype?

Trouble signing into the App Builder

I just designated an Adobe account as a Viewer Builder account in the Account Administration tool but when I start the App Builder and try to sign in I get an error message that says "sign in failed. please try again." Am I missing something in this process?

Trouble signing into mac app store for updates

The app store icon in my launchbar indicates that I have 3 updates available, and I would like to update. So I click the "update" button next to each item, and I am asked to sign in with my apple ID. I do, then I receive a message saying more info is needed, and I am redirected to a web site that explains what an Apple ID is and how to create one. I know I am entering my ID and password correctly because when I try doing it another way, I get the "incorrect ID or password" mesage. And of course, I managed to sign in to the Apple Support Community.
So how do I get my updates?
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks for this recommendation. After contacting iTunes support, here's the meat of the response I got:
Angela, I would suggest that you review your account's information using the iTunes application on your computer and then follow the steps below:
1) Open iTunes.
2) From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
3) Enter your Apple ID and its password, and click Sign In.
4) You will see a dialog saying this: "This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." Click Review and follow the onscreen instructions to sign in with the account.
Followed these steps, then all I had to do was enter my credit card information (I never got to that screen before), and now my Apple ID is fully functional, so I can download apps from the mac app store and install my updates. ...Yet more proof that money truly can buy happiness.
I hope I don't run into similar problems in the future...as a relatively new mac user, I would have expected the process of creating a freakin' ID to be somewhat more streamlined.
Anyway, if anyone else has the same issue, now you know what to do. =)

I created an iCloud account for my sons ipod tried to sign into the App Store and it just keeps coming up with unknown error can you help

I created an iCloud account for my sons ipod tried to sign into the App Store and it just keeps coming up with unknown error can you help

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother was signed into it but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working

I am signed into the App Store on my iphone 4 and one of my apps need updating and my brother is signed into it because I didn't have any credit to make an ID so he signed in so I could download apps but its like its locked to his Apple ID I have tried signing out and turning my phone off its just not working please help.

Apps are locked to the Apple ID that was used to download them. You will have to sign in as your brother in order to update it.

Why im i getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store

Im getting "an unknown error has occurred" message when i sign into the app store. I don't have a problem signing into anything else. What could the problem be?

Were you able to find a solution to this issue? I am also getting the 'an error has occurred' message when trying to download or update any apps on my iPhone. Restarted, updated, re-booted, etc etc, nothing has worked.

I want to sign into the app store as another ID, but it is greyed out.

Hey everyone,
I want to update my apps but I am having an issue.
When I click "update", this pops up
But that is not the apple ID I am signed into the app store as, nor the account I want to use to update things.
Why is it greyed out -- uneditable -- and how can I change that?
Thanks!

OK so I was having this issue too but for some reason it was happening on Evernote. The user email that was populating the Apple ID field was for a previous user on the computer that, as far as I know, doesn't use Evernote at all. It only happened recently and as far as I knew all his user information was removed from this machine once we got a new one in the office?
Uninstalling and reinstalling worked but this behaviour seems very odd.

Weird Problem trying to sign into my App Store Account ? Please Help !!

Im having a very weird problem trying to sign into my App store account to update my apps and to purchase new Apps. Ive tried to search the net but I cant seem to solve my problem.
Here is whats happening
My Email address is correct in my iTunes Account and also my App Store account. (which is basically the same anyway)
The problem I am having Is that when I try to download an App my old email address still shows up when it requests my password.
The weird part is that my email address is correct in my itunes and also at the bottom of my app store. Yet my old email is showing up when I try to sign into the App store.
Here are the steps Ive taken already to fix this problem and have failed.
I have signed out of my itunes and app store and signed back in..FAILED.
I went into my setting -STORE and signed out and back in..FAILED.
I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
PLEASE HELP !!!

I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. Were these apps purchased using your old account details?

HT5007 Why when I sign into the App store it says unknown error?

When I sign into the App store it says unknown error.

the support article for that error says to wait for it to reset your request and then try again, in the meantime verify your login information is correct (ie logging in at http://appleid.apple.com/)
you can also goto Settings > store and log out of your apple id and log back in just in case

I'm having trouble signing into the iCloud Control Panel. None of the iCloud suggested fixes work. I'm using Windows 7 on a PC. Is there a simple fix out there?

I'm probably doing this all wrong. Just in case here it is again.

The book that I'm using said it wasn't necessary for this because it's supposed to just make sure everything is working properly--which it's not.OK, if you want to ignore my advice, so be it, but please don't complain that it is not going to work without even trying it yourself.

Now this is the part I don't get. The book tells me to go to http://localhost:8080/ch1/Serv1 even though there are no files/folders that have the name Serv1.
Do you understand what the <servlet-mapping> declaration in the web.xml means? It is roughly just saying the appserver that it should port all requests on /Serv1 to the mentioned servlet.
a couple others like/ch1/WEB-INF/classes/Ch1Servlet.class and /ch1/WEB-INF/web.xml. The WEB-INF folder is not public accessible, so forget about that part.
"Resource not found" simply means that either the URL is wrong (case counts!) or that the resource is actually not there. I.e. not compiled, not deployed, not loaded, etcetera. Reading the appserver's startup logs might also help.

I am having trouble signing into my adobe account on my tablet it says failed to authorize device?

I am having trouble signing into my adobe account on my tablet. When I sign in it says failed to authorize device when I sign in and I have used my adobe account on this tablet in the past.

I have tried that several times as well. All that I get is a white screen that says "hello" and tells me "Update Completed Your iPhone was updated successfully. There are just a few more steps to follow, and then you're done!" so i click "continue" it asks for my iCloud password, I put it in and it goes black gives me white apple logo then takes me right back to where I started with the white "hello" screen displaying. Ive tried resetting my password multiple times and nothing is happening, I dont know what else to do.

Sign into apple app store locked to other account.

Hello
I worked for a Curry's DASIS / Ubiquity stand in store and sold my friend a Macbook Pro 13" MD102, the machine was sold off display at the time with a decent reduction.
Recently her iPhoto app is saying its out of date and needs to be updated, but when she goes to sign into the APP store when she tries to login the apple ID field is populated by a Apple ID she is unaware of and so am i, my thinking is that when the mac was on display perhaps someone has signed in with an apple ID.
What can i do to resolve this issue and permanently remove the unknown apple id so 1. she can use her Apple ID to sign in and 2. No data or apps or data are lost.
note: She has contacted the person who's apple ID was in there and they say they are happy to meet up to login but if they logged in how could i remove there account from the machine.
any Suggestions below is a screen picture she sent me of the issue
Many Thanks

That solution is kinda dumb -.-
You asked for help. I have given you the correct solution to your issue because it involves more than the two apps. It involves the whole Mac.
Why I would reinstall the OSX just to change the ID Apple of an App?
I gave you the explanation in my answer.
It's time for you to move on. You have high-jacked another user's thread for your issue. You should start your own topic with the issue so as not to be carrying on a cross conversation.
Insulting folks who offer you the correct solution is no way to make folks want to continue to assist you here!

Trouble signing into iMessage

Hi, Does anyone else have trouble signing into iMessage. I used to use it all the time. Then I had some problems with my Apple ID and also got a new computer. Now I can't sign into it at all. It just spins and spins like it's working on it, on my computer. On my iPad it says it can't sign in with the ID and password I've given, which I KNOW for sure is correct.

Please take any of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, quit and relaunch Messages and/or FaceTime and test. Stop when the issue is resolved. If none of the steps helps, post your results.
Step 1
Make sure that caps-lock is not on and that you're entering the password correctly. If necessary, type the password in a TextEdit window and then drag or copy it into the Messages sign-in dialog.
Step 2
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.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
Step 3
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage," "FaceTime," or "Apple Persistent" in the name.

How can't I sign into Mac App store?

I have two Mac Book Pro, one 13" using at Work and another 15" using at home. Everything is fine with MBP at home. I can use Mac App Store without any problem. But at office I guess it happened in last two weeks, I had a problem to sign in Mac App Store. I can navigate and look all apps in the Featured, Top Charts and Categories. But when I want to see Purchases, asks me to sign in. I enter my Apple ID and password correctly but it says "An unkown error has occured" and can't sign into Mac App Store. I've attached snapshot for this here. I searched forums and discussions on WEB and did many things like deleting files, ByHost, Network Pref etc. Everything I have seen on the WEB useful. But unfortunately couldn't pass that. I have other Apple products and my Apple ID works well at them also at WEB.
Yesterday, this problematic MBP at work installed updates for iPhoto and OSX Mountain Lion but didn't let me sign in.
Does anybody has a solution for that which is not written at discussion or at SERPs?
Thanks for the useful help, will appreciate deeply.

FYI, this article was a HUGE help.
Long story short, I activated the App Store debug menu and simply chose "Reset Application". I was good to go after that.

I cannot sign into the App Store...

I cannot sign into the App Store, update apps or use apps purchased. How can I fix this.
I can sign into iTunes.
I am using a 3 month old MacBook Pro 17"
running Snow Lep. 10.6.8

Hi Carolyn,
thank you for quick answer.
I've logged out from iTunes but nothing is changed with App Store.
It says that is impossible to connect.
Do you have other suggestions?
Sorry, what is the OP ?
