IPhone 4S : Wifi Password not accepting + iTunes won't backup the iPhone

Hi,
Am using a MBP 2.53GHz Intel Core 2 Duo , 8 Gb Ram and running 10.8.3 Mountain Lion.
My issue is that after an update to iOS 6.1.2 , my iPhone 4S can't join my Home Wifi. The Error I get is Password is incorrect. All other iPhones and iPads and Macs at home login without an issue.
The next issue that started is that my iPhone syncs changes with iTunes, but is not able to do a backup. I get an error "iTunes could not backup xx because an error occurred."
2 huge issues - I can't get wifi and I can't upgrade to the new 6.1.3 in hope of solving some of these issues.
I can't do a clean install without taking a backup, since I'll lose all my Messages - SMS
HELP ... This is driving me crazy and I can't find a fix anywhere
Thanks a million in advance
Vivek

Use the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an attachment to an email. Send this email to yourself. At any point in the future you can open this email on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone. (If you get a new phone, send the email to yourself from your computer and open it on your new phone to import the contacts.
Alternatively, if your contacts are in Address Book you can open Address Book, click on any single contact, go to Edit>Select All (Command-A) to select all contacts, go to File>Export>Save as vCard and save this on your desktop. Then email this file to your phone and tap the attachment to import the contacts.

Kindle - wifi password not accepted

I have just bought my first Kindle - from Tesco, so, unlike a Kindle from Amazon, it is not sold ready to go. I have to connect via WiFi in order to register it. But it is not accepting my wifi network password. I am pretty sure I am entering the correct password because I used the same one for my laptop! Very frustrating! Can I reset my wifi network password via the BT website and start again with the Kindle (and my laptop)? Best wishes - Kate

Hi Kate and welcome
It does sound like you're trying to use the wrong key
For the homehub 3 - Lift the little tab and type in what is under Wireless key:
Don't use the Wireless WPS Pin or the Admin password
For the home hub 2 - On the rear of the hub, it's the one after Wireless key (WPA):
Don't use the Wireless Pin or the Admin password

WiFi Password not accepted

This morning I had to reset my Internet modem. So I unplugged everything and after about 1-2 minutes, I plugged everything back in. Then I left for work. Came home and my laptop (Toshiba) is fine. My iPhone5 and iPad Mine are not. I've tried to enter the password several times and neither device will accept it. I know it's correct because I opened the cisco connect application to verify the password was correct. Shy of resetting both devices, what can I do?

Try going into the settings on your iDevices and resetting the network settings. Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Network Settings. It will then reboot and hopefully accept the new password.

WiFi / password not accepted although correct

After installing iOS6 on my iPhone 4s our WiFi is still detected but my phone continues asking for the password over and over again although it is correctly entered!

This is happening to me, too, since I upgraded to iOS6 on my 4S this AM. Every time the phone goes into lock/sleep mode, I lose my home wi-fi connection and have to reselect the network and re-enter the password. Any ideas, anyone??

Apple tv not accepting itunes password after i changed it on the computer

Apple tv not accepting itunes password after i changed it on my mac. Mac opening itunes account with that password

I don't have Apple TV, but are you able to log out of your account on it and then log back in with the new password so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?

Cant restore back up from iCloud as password not accepted

when trying to restore an 1phone 5s from iCloud back up my password is not accepted..i then go to iforgot, change my password retry the restore process and get the same issue.I have tried turning find phone off, starting again but still cant access back up because password not accepted.

I can't change my DNS settings. I'm trying to restore while setting up my phone. If I change the DNS settings while on the phone, and then restore the phone and try to restore from the back-up on my iCloud, it won't save that I've changed settings to use Google's public DNS. I would log onto my university's secure wifi instead of their guest wifi, but unfortunately I can't. because that involves an installation, which I can't do if I restore my phone and am trying to set it up.

Apple id password not accepted on icloud

why is my apple id password not accepted when I try to login to iCloud? The same password worked when I tried to login to support to post this question!

If Settings>iCloud is showing your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library.

I have seven(7) podcasts on my iPhone 4 that iTunes will not delete. iTunes copies them from the phone to the library and will not delete them from the phone when deleted from the library. I have replayed the podcasts over and over and they still won't delete. Podcasts are WSJ Tech briefings.

This happens to several of my podcasts whenever an updated iOS comes out. You can delete the episode directly from the phone by swiping it from left to right. That seems to fix the issue (they drop off the phone and dont reappear on iTunes). It's as if iTunes stops tracking the play count for some shows.
Hope this helps!

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Wifi password not working on MacBook Pro

Wifi password not working
I got a MacBook Pro today. The previous owner had Apple wipe it clean for the new owner, me. When I first tried putting my wifi password in, I wasn't remembering exactly what it was, so I tried many different possibilities. Since then, I found my password in my office. I put it in, when it asked for it. But, it's not taking it. It just says searching for networks. And, this is after I identified the correct network. So, I am wondering if perhaps after a number of "tries" does it not accept ANY further attempts ? You know like Banking passwords....you get locked out. I'm wondering if I'm locked out?

No, not like a bank timeout.
Open keychain in your Utilities Folder and look for old router password, or delete wrong passwords.
You can always reset your router password to something new that you can remember.

You followed ALL of the instructions in that support article? You deleted your existing backups, disabled ALL security software, logged in as an Admin.?

Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again.

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."
