Have you restarted your computer? iTunes updated?

ITunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5

iTunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5.
Tried every password I've ever used and tried resetting my password. Nothing works!
Any advice?

Nope. You obviously didn't read (or didn't remember) the User Guide. I will include a link for you. If you use the iPhone as Apple recommends (so that you do NOT experience data loss), frequent backups are advised, as are synching contacts/calendars with an appropriate cloud service or computer-based contact manager like Outlook.

TS1368 itunes won't recognize my password for apple id

Ever since i moved to icloud i cannot log in to itunes. I've changed my password and have made my old address the primary. please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What type of wifi security are you using.
Does your ID or password have any unusual characters.
Are you getting any date/time errors.
Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

ITunes won't recognize my password

When my Dad tries to log into his iTunes account he keeps receiving the message his login and password don't match. He then changes his password and it works for a little bit then this starts all over again. Any suggestions? He is using an EarthLink email address could that be a problem?

My brand new mac mini won't recognise the password I set two days ago

the question says it all -- in the Apple store I specifically set one pass word for the computer and one for my Apple id. I'm utterly certain of what the computer password is (and yes, I've tried the Apple id one and various others) but it's not recognising it.

Restart your Mini and press Command-R until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. You should then be booted into your recovery partition. Alternatively, you can hold down the Option key right after you hear the startup chime to bring up the startup manager to choose the recovery partition.
Choose Terminal in the Utilities menu at the top of the screen. Type in resetpassword. That will bring up a GUI interface where you should be able reset your password. You can use the same password you used to set up your computer.
If that doesn't work repeat the above instructions and reset your password as well as your home folder ACLs and permissions.
The same directions can be found in this CNet tip.

Itunes won't recognize a valid password

Here's a weird one. (MacBook Pro 2.4G 10.6.2) Tried to buy something on the itunes store, and my password does not work. So, I recover the password. Still doesn't work. Then I reset the password... 3 times. None of those work either.
So, I go to my office computer (Mac Pro 8-core 10.6.2) and reset the password again. Works fine. I can access the itunes store or anything else on Apple's site. I take that same password into the other room, and using the MacBook Pro, the itunes store says "invalid user or password" and will not allow me on. Yet, I am still on that computer, using that same password, to log into the forums here... This computer will log into Apple but not into itunes.
itunes support says that since the password is stored on their site, it should work on either computer. It doesn't.
Ideas??
thanks

I am having a similar issue. I recently tried to sync my Ipod with iTunes and got a message saying 100 songs were not autorized and I need to authorize computer. Odd as I have been syncing these devices for years. I go to authorize, and iTunes won't recognize my password. I change password. Still no luck. then I go to STORE>>VIEW MY ACCOUNT, and using the same user ID and password I can access all my info. But when I try STORE>>AUTHORIZE COMPUTER, I get the failed message again. How is that possible? So, now I have music I can't play on my iPod for absolutely no reason.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 and it won't recognize my password. I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.

I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4 and it won't recognize my password. I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect. What do I need to do?

There are two more things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
Two Button Reset.
This is the least likely to result in loss of data. Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
Unplug the phone form the computer.
Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes. My guess is that the reset did not work.
DFU Restore
This will very likley result in loss of data.
Plug the iPhone into the computer.
Ensure that it is running the lates version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in covery mode. . .(etc)" Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions. If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

Itunes won't recognize ipod and videos gone

I have a 30GB Video Ipod and itunes won't recognize it. I have to keep putting the music files back in and converting them. Also the Movie and TV Shows I bought disappeared. I have a Windows XP Home Edition, and itunes 7. I downloaded itunes about 4 or 5 months ago, it that helps. My ipod shows up in my computer though. I want to know:
1. How can I get itunes to recognize my ipod
2. How do I get itunes to keep and remember my files
3. How do I get my videos back?
4. Which version of itunes should I get and how do I get it?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This article addresses both error messages...
iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
As for the iPod not turning off. Try resetting...
Reset iPod
After you reset it, wait about a minute and then try turning it off.

Just upgraded macbook to Snow Leopard, and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning all off, and on. I have the newest version of itunes. Will I have to reset my iphone (and also ipod touch?), and if so, does it mean I lose anything?

I just upgraded macbook to SnowLeopard 10.6.3 and now itunes won't recognize my iphone. I tried turning everything off and restarting. I have the latest version of itunes. If I have to reset the phone (and ipod touch), what does that mean? Will I lose anything? How long will it take? thanks

Start iTunes. Make sure you really are running the version you think you are. Sometimes people end up with two copies, different versions.

Troubleshooting iTunes installation on Mac OS X - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2311 - read section on Opening iTunes for information about running multiple copies of iTunes.
You say you are running Snow Leopard 10.6.3. That version will not run the latest iTunes which requires 10.6.8 If you need iTunes 10.7 you have to be running 10.6.8

My iTunes won't recognize my new iPhone + "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error

I bought a new iPhone and already have an Apple ID & Password & iTune account. When I plugged my new iPhone I kept getting a "AppleMobileDeviceHelper" error messages. They keep popping out. Plus iTune won't recognize my Apple ID (I don't want a new one, since it has the payment info and all). Anyone can help?

You might need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service. Check out this article:
