Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I have changed my email password aswell as having to keep changing my apple is password an it keeps changing?

    Sounds like you follow good practices.
    This has been going around for some time in various forms, a number of users have asked about it and the best advice is if in doubt go doirectly to Apple, not links in the email.  Calling Apple or using the Apple site is always the best approach.
    A few have even noticed very slight misspellings in the emails, things like Appel instead of Apple...most people don't even notice those.
    Anyway, safe computing and have a good day.

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.

  • What does it mean my imap4 password is wrong i havent changed a thing it just appeared

    what  does it mean my imap4 password is wrong i havent changed a thing it just appeared 

    It means the server rejected the password. make sure you can log in to your email providers web mail. Some providers, notably Yahoo, have dozens, if not hundreds of servers that do authentication. Sometimes they get out of sync. Yahoo's mail servers are notoriously bad. Try deleting and re-adding the account.

    Do you have an Exchange account through your place of employment? Quite often the administrator or IT person will set up passcodes for devices that have employer exchange email accounts on them. If your account is work related, check with your employer for the code.

  • My new Macbook won't connect to my wifi network - it keeps saying "password incorrect" - but I've tested it on my phone and works fine, I've checked the password I enter is correct digit for digit - what could the problem be?

    you need to open the keychain access located in your utilities folder in the applications and once in the keychain on the left side click on the words system at the top and in the lower section click on passwords
    next look in the striped area for any passwords that say airport network password next to kind and highlight those and hit delete on the keyboard to remove them from the keychain.
    once you remove all of these airport passwords, quit the keychain
    turn wifi off then back on, select your wifi network from the list and enter the password telling it to save to keychain this should resolve your issue!

  • Why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?

    I read every article on the support part of the apple website and nothing could help me. My Ipod touch is a 3rd generation and has 32 gigs, if thats relavent at all. So, my Ipod has a picture of a dead battery with a lightning bolt on it, and it only shows when its charging. The apple support said that picture means that the Ipod is charging, but is so dead that it cannot function, and to let it charge for 30 minutes and it should be better. It sat on a wall charger (a usb outlet that is plugged into the wall) for 3 days now and theres been no progress. So why does my Ipod say its charging when it isn't reseaving any power?
    I've tried 2 wall chargers, and tried connenting it to all three of my computers, and tried about 4 differant charger cords. On all of them the Ipod says its charging, but it isn't getting any charge. So I don't believe its a severed power cord. I have also reset it a few times, and it won't show the apple sign, only the same battery/lightning picture.

    It could also be the charging circuit in the iPod. The Genius Bar is free. You could try to replace the battery yourself but that may not fix it.

  • Ipod says gb used when no songs on ipod

    I am very frusterated that my ipod says 1.9 GB used when actually there are no songs on the ipod. This is reducing the amount of space to about 2GB. I tried resetting and restoring already, and it does not help. Any suggestions?

  • HT1918 Billing Info keeps saying its incorrect when it shouldnt be

    I am unable to download or upgrade any apps because my phone says my billing is incorrect when its the exact card i been using for over a year. im wondering if someone has hacked into my account and purchased items and not knowing i have no balance on my card.

    I am having this exact same problem! Two days ago I got an iTunes email saying that it couldn't renew my Pandora One subscription due to an error with my billing. When I went to investigate, all my info was accurate-- billing and address, both on iTunes and with my bank. Tried to update and it still said my billing info didn't match my bank's records. I even tried to switch my iTunes payment to PayPal so it would be deducted straight from my bank account and it STILL says there's an error. What is going on! Been using this card/address for a year, just like Mjose94 and suddenly there's an issue. FIX THIS, APPLE!

  • "password incorrect" when trying to connect to wifi

    I can successfully connect to my WPA2 encoded wifi connection from many different devices in the household. One of the iPhone4s' cannot connect though, after entering password, it very quickly comes back with an alert "Password incorrect for [endpoint name]". It can happily connect to any other wifi network. An other iPhone4s can succesfully connect. I have tried most of the voodoo tricks listed here (entering wi-fi password with quotes, resetting phone network settings, restarting router), to no avail. Which device should I be returning?

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod 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 the 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.

  • Password incorrect when restoring from backup

    I have restored my iPhone last night. After that I was trying to restore from backup, but iTunes keep asking me for password. I did not set any password for the backup before this. I have tried all the possible passwords but it keeps showing password incorrect! How can I solve this?

    First, reboot your computer. Sometimes the request for a password is mistaken and rebooting will clear it. Then connect the phone and click on its name in iTunes. Is "Encrypt backup" checked? If it is then at some time in the past (and it could have been 6 years ago if you had an iPhone then) the box was checked and a password was entered. Or you have a corporate MS Exchange email account and your IT Administrator required that the backup be encrypted.
    Either way you have to figure out the password. Try unchecking "encrypt backup". It will prompt for a password. Make an educated guess. It is a password that you have used at some time in the past. (Unchecking the box is a faster way of guessing than trying to restore.)
    There is no other way to restore that backup, unless you have maintained iCloud backups. These do not require or allow passwords, because they are already encrypted with your Apple ID password.
    If you are desperate there is a commercial product that can break SOME backup passwords if they are not too strong. Visit elcomsoft.com for more information. This tool is intended for law enforcement use, and is priced accordingly, however, they have a trial version that will give you the first two characters of the password.

  • ITunes says Apple ID password is incorrect, but I havent changed it and I know it is correct !!

    I have been using my iTunes account for several years, and I have had the same password for a long time now, which works fine, until this weekend that is.  When I went to iTunes at the weekend to purchase something, it asked me for my Apple ID password, which I submitted.  It then kept telling me this was wrong, until it eventually blocked me.  I am 100% my password was correct, and lower/upper caps were also correct.
    Now though, exactly the same thing has happened to my partner, on a completely seperate computer and iTunes account !  Help !  What has gone on here ?

    Odds are that someone has hacked your Gmail account and changed the password on you.
