IPad Mini is not accepting tested passwords for wifi, iMessage or hotspot.

Having increasing problems with my new ipad mini bought just two days ago. Along with very poor wifi connection (strong and fine with all my other devices including iPhones and iPods) and now it is not accepting the correct passwords for anything to do with connectivity. This includes personal hotspots from my iPhone 5, wifi, iMessage etc. All are running latest iOS and passwords are correct. Have attempted to reset and all other listed troubleshooting to no affect.

Curse you autocorrect! That should be re-typed not restyled.

Had to reset, now my apple tv will not accept by password for my wireless system, what do I do?

Apple TV will not accept my password for my TV, had to restart, what do I do?

Power cycle the router and try again.
If the issue persists, temporarily turn off security on the router and connect. Then turn security back on and connect, it should accept the password this time.

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.

HT1506 mail on my mac will suddenly not accept my password - for instance if I want to send photos

Mail on my mac will not accept my password - which has been changed - the result being I cannot send pictures directly from iPhoto or respond to certain messages. Thank you

Am experiencing same exact difficulty slinkmomo. Let me know if you resolved it and steps to take please. Love You. :-)

TS1398 I have been having network problems on my Ipad and I reset all network settings as advised in the article about problems connecting to networks. Now my Ipad will not allow me to sign onto any network....it will not accept the passwords for any net

My ipad has been a little glitchy for the last couple of weeks....not able to load pages because of DNS lookup failure and really slow loading...some of which has to do with the DSL service I have, but I followed the directions on one of the Apple wi-fi issues pages to reset network all connections..which I did, and now the Ipad cannot connect to WiFi because it will not accept (or cannot resolve..or??) password. I am sure I am typing the password correctly and have tried it on several routers..and it cannot cannect to any router properly even with the correct password. My laptop is connected just fine and it accepts the password and I have confirmed the password with the ISP and tried other routers.
So the question is what should I do if I am entering the right password and the Ipad can't sign itself on to the Wifi network?

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-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

My app store application on my iPhone 4S is not accepting my password for one of my Apple ids. I have a feeling it is because the ID isn't correct, it should be my email address and it is not just 1st portion.

My app store application on my IPhone 4S is not accepting my Apple ID and password. The ID comes up, but I don't think it is totally correct as it doesn't have the complete email address which is actually my ID. I know the password is correct because I just changed it even though I knew what my last one was, I changed to be extra sure. I am not sure how to change the ID in the App Store application.

To change the ID:
Settings > Store > Apple ID. Sign Out of the old and in with the new.

New Ipad mini will not connect automatically to home WiFi network

I use a range of Apple devices at home, IPhone 4, MacBook Pro and IMAC.
They all see and connect automatically to my WiFi home network. I never experienced any difficulty with my DLINK router.
I have received a couple of days ago my new Ipad mini (Wifi+ cellullar), running IOS 602, but not equipped with a SIM card.
The device never connects automatically to the home WiFi network.
I need to open the Settings app, chose the WiFi submenu and select manually my "dlink" network. Then only can I work with my network.
I need to perform this each time I leave my home or I restart the device.
As I am experienced with Apple devices I noticed this behaviour right away and can confirm that the settings on the Ipad mini are the same as the ones of the IPhone 4. I am certain that this is a bug.
Any suggestion to overcome this major frustration?

Ipad randomly will not accept my password

Wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. For the past 2 days, my ipad password is being rejected, although I am 100% its correct. It eventually locked me out and I was forced to restore from itunes, which I did. I then put in a new password, wrote it down, and chalked this off as a fluke. Sure enough, it worked 3 or 4 times, but now back to randomly being rejected. I am very careful about typing it, but it works just 4 times out of 5.
So, i updated to ISO6, to see if it fixes it. But, its still not working and am now locked out again.
Anyone seen this ? Very odd.

I'm trying to help my inlaws with the same problem ...running an iPad 2 w/ iOS 5 and now 6. It randomly rejects their apple ID password to update apps and download new ones. They have changed passwords multiple times and are careful to type correctly, but nothing helps. Suggestions?

IPad 3 will not accept iCloud password

I have an iPad 3 running IOS 8.2. When I go to SETTINGS; ICLOUD: Press my account at the top of the screen, I am asked for my password, I enter the correct password and it say "The password you entered is incorrect." then "OK".
I changed the password recently and all the other devices work fine. The problem is just with the iPad 3.
Any help out there?

Be sure you have signed out of the old iCloud account, then sign in with the new ID.

CC desktop app not accepting my password for update downloads

CC Desktop notifications show that I have four available updates. When I click the app and try to update, it requests my username and password. I've entered it several times but the dialogue box just shakes, indicating it's rejecting the password. I've changed my password twice through the adobe website.

Editordeb it sounds like your computer is requesting an administrator account user name and password. This should be the same username and password you use to install other software on your computer. What specific operating system are you using exactly?

Iphone 5 is not saving the passwords for wifi

I have the problem every time i shut of the wifi or i'm out the the signal of the wifi connection.
When i re-enter my house or when i turn on the wifi i need to make connection the manual way with the password.
My iphone 4 S saved a the wifi password by it self but i can think of what im doing wrong with this 5
please help

Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
Also, ensure there is actually storage capacity on the device available to save those pictures.
Use the device as designed, copy those 926 pictures off the device to a computer for safe keeping. Then delete them from the Camera Roll and sync back only the one's you want/need on the device.

My iPod touch 5gen sees the wifi but does not accept the password

My iPod touch does not accept the password for my home wifi but can connect to other wifi like Best Buy's.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
