Incorrect user name being displayed.

Hi, I'm trying to updates some apps via 'updates' and my iphone5 is asking for my apple password - fair enough... However, it seems to have picked up my husbands user id as mine? Any ideas? We do use the same itunes...
Thanks

it's because the apps that you want to update were bought under your husband's apple name. The apps always belong to the original buyer

Incorrect user name or password Again !!!!!

I can connect to my email through windows live mail on my desktop but once again every hour or so for the last 3 days on my android tablet or phone I keep getting "incorrect user name or password" on 3 different email addresses. I fill in the box with my password and off we go for about an hour then the same happens. I can log in to bt yahoo mail on the web with no problem when this happens but not with the email client installed on my tablet or phone. This happened about a month ago for a week then stopped and I had several episodes last year. Can someone tell me what's going I haven't changed any setting or anything and now I am gettig sick to death of it !!!!
Spoiler (Highlight to read)

If you could access your email via webmail on a browser the "idiot"should have told you there was nothing wrong. All BT agree to provide is email via webmail. They provide the settings to allow you to use email clients or apps but they do not support this method of accessing your email. This is in line will all other ISPs. There are far to many email clients and variables over which they have no control for them to be able to provide solutions for every email client on the market.
As you have found, usually when the problem you starts and provided you can still access it via webmail, the best thing to do is leave it alone and it usaually sorts itself out in a day or so.

I still can't erase an incorrect user name from the password file.

I have been using a web site for a long time. Suddenly the user name that is supposed to be stored in my "password/user name" file is not working. I totally deleted the web site from that folder. When I go to log in, it still automatically comes up with an incorrect user name.
Example:
The correct user name is "[email protected]", but Firefox is coming up with "ab%49gmail.com"
All of this even though when I went to the Security tab and have deleted the web site from the file, completely, Firefox still brings up the wrong user name when I go to log in.

Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
#click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
#highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
#press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

TS4268 FaceTime incorrect user name/password

I have just up dated my iPad 3 and iPhone 4 to ios6
When I try to login i get incorrect user name/password in the same time I can login in my account and download applications with same user name and the same password

Appreciate the links Tom, however none of these helps, I'll explain the issue exactly (should have done that in my first post):
The Facetime and iMessage credentials are valid and work just fine on the Mac, they don't work for some reason on the iPhone and the iPad and this only started happening after upgrading to iOS 6.
I did some digging and found that it was an issue already for some since iOS 6 beta 4 and found many threads online with users facing the same problem.
It seems that for some reason, a "glitch" occured during the upgrade and even restoring the device as new and starting from scratch doesn't help. After having received my other iPhone, I tried, and the issue remains.
I contacted Apple Care and they're on the case from what I've been told but haven't been able to pinpoint the exact cause yet.
I'll post back once I have an update.
Cheers,
Farès

My iPad email says incorrect user name or password but it has always worked as it is set up

My iPad mail is not receiving mail. It says incorrect user name or password but it is the same as it has been since I got my iPad. The server connection is ok as I can get email through the internet.

Hi Barry,
This is a little odd, so from what you've said nothing has changed at all on your iPad?
Are you able to access your email account via webmail, for example I have a GMAIL account and can access this via www.gmail.com if so can you login there using the expected credentials?
Regards,
Steve

Incorrect user name or password

My email works for almost a full day, then loses its settings and gives the error " incorrect user name or password." Re-booting doesn't correct the problem. I have deleted my mail account each evening for the last 3 days and set up a new account. It works for most of the next day and then quits again. Please help.

Just out of curiosity, who is your mail provider? Yahoo, aol or hotmail?

The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

It is popping up because you have apps installed that you bought with the old AppleID, you can either delete those apps or buy the apps again using your new Apple ID, if they were free apps then not a big deal, paid apps obviously means you would have to buy them twice.

Safari created an incorrect user name for my hotmail account and I am unable to access it

I have a hotmail email account that I recently had to reset the password. Safari created the wrong user name leaving of one letter ("l) and I am unable to access the account. I am also unable to manually change the user name; it keeps referring back to the incorrect name. I have Safari 7.1 on my MacBook Pro. I have been in contact with hotmail at Microsoft and they have been unable to help me further and indicate I must bring this to Safari support which I am doing. If I use another browser (Firefox) I am able to get into the account but it would be nice to have this back on Safari. Appreciate help.

I was able to locate the source in Website Data.....it was set up via mail.live.com through Microsoft/Outlook.   They have changed their format considerably very recently. Anyway removing that one entry (.live) and then using a new password I was able to bring up the original email program although it's no longer known as Hotmail but Outlook. So I guess the problem was in Safari...I don't know how that user name was changed. It may have been a typo error on my part and the corrupted name was maintained by Safari? Anyway all is good now. Thanks for your help.

Incorrect user name or password on nook, even thought i know it's not? can't read books on nook because of it...

can't figure it out. i know i'm using the correct credentials. but when i try to access my book on my nook, it's saying that my user name or password is incorrect. i've even changed my password online to try to affect it, but to no avail..

I'm having the same issue. I am able to read library books through overdrive on my tablet and side load titles from my husband's account, but I am getting this error on a book I downloaded from a website. I hope we find a solution!

I mistyped a user name to enter a website. I want to correct the error but Firefox saved the incorrect user name and won't let me edit it.

When I signed into a user-name-required website, I made a mistake, but didn't realize my mistake until after I asked firefox to save the sign-in information. Now, all I want to do is edit the username sign-in, but firefox won't allow the edit. What do I do?

Keep getting Incorrect user name or password when Binding

I have 24 eMacs at my school and I'm trying to setup a server. When I try to bind, it goes through the 1, 2, 3... then gives me an error message. How do I fix this?? What password and user name do I enter, the clients or the servers password?
Is there anything else I need to do to connect to the server?
Thanks.

Hi David,
Are you using DHCP on your OSX Server?
If so you can simpley check the 'add dhcp supplied servers...' box in Directory Access > LDAP config on your clients. Make sure you enter the LDAP info for DHCP service on your server.
Otherwise, are you sure the password server is running correctly on your server? You can check the server logs to see if there is a problem. It needs port 106 to be open... are you blocking that port with your firewall?

Incorrect Language txt Being Displayed

Hi
We have recently gone live using ECC 5.0 in a new region, Spain, when the users logon using using ES, certain transactions are showing the text in German, such as transaction S_ALR_87013624 ?
Spanish language has been imported 2 years ago and was supplemented with english in the client, I have logged on client 000 using ES,and transaction S_ALR_87013624 is in Spanish there, I have used both supplementation methods in SMLT using RSREFILL and combined with client Maintenance, as it appears the txt is not being copied from 000.
I have checked the support packages and no packages require transalation, so Spanish looks uptodate.
I've checked on our QA environment and in one test client 020 Spanish is there for S_ALR_87013624, but in another QA client 100 S_ALR_87013624 is in German, even though client 020 was created from a copy of client 100, client 000 it is in Spanish.
Any ideas ?

it's because the apps that you want to update were bought under your husband's apple name. The apps always belong to the original buyer
