Jumbled iCould passwords

I just reset my MacBook Air iCloud password. Now I'm getting asked to enter passwords for MessageAgent, AddressBookSourceSync, CalendarAgent, Cloudd, and com.apple.iCloudhelper. My new password does not work for any of them, nor do any of my old passwords.
Occasionally after trying and failing. I get a prompt to reset my password, and the same thing happens again and again. My MacBook, iPad, and iPhone are all now useless.
How can I reset my iCould password to work for all my devices and all of these other mysterious "Agent" applications?

If at any point in time my computer crashes and all information is gone will I still have access to all the information
Yes, but you still should not regard it as a backup. It won't protect you from unintended deletion or other ways of losing data. You must back up all data using Time Machine or some other tool designed specifically for that purpose.

    when I try to reset the password my email address does not accept the password reset email and the security question of enter birthdaten states I have entered an incorrect date.(i'm entering my birthdate )  could the wrong birthdate have been initially entered?

    If you forgot the answers to your security questions, try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you're not sure you remember the answers. If you're confident that you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address, sign in to My Apple IDand select the “Password and Security” tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID password, sign in to My Apple ID and select the “Password and Security” tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password, contactApple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.

  • Always ask iCloud password after reboot

    My hard drive crashed therefore I needed to transfer my data and files from my backup via migration assistant.
    I believe t did something wrong and cause me every time I reboot the machine, a window pop up asking me to input my iCould password.
    I understand it only asks me once, but is there anyway to solve this
    Thank you

    I tried that too, but it does not solve.
    I think the problem was caused during the migration assistant, which asked me to use another user account instead of my previous one (of course I changed back to my old one) i.e. the old one was "abcdefg" , the software asked me to use "abcdefg2"

  • My phone is being tracked

    please i need help

    Settings > Location services > Off
    You're now off the grid (unless your friends work at the phone company or with the police).
    You can also change your iTunes/iCould passwords in case they have access to your account.
    Your car could be getting location tracked.
    Or maybe someone is just old school tailing you from when you leave where ever you are at.

  • E72- Unknown icon on home screen

    Unknown icon stays on my E72 home screen bottom right corner that looks like trash can with yellow envelope. Does Anyone know what that means?

    To be quite honest i'm almost certain that my GF has hacked my iphone.
    She knows multiple conversations i've had with people. I know this for a fact.
    Now i've done lots of research on the matter and i can't seem to find a conclusive answer.
    Lots of websites say that unless it's jailbroken it's impossible to hack an iphone and some other websites say it's possible.
    She obviously won't say how she did it. From my understanding though she can see everything i do on my phone.
    And no she doesn't have my icould password. I've changed it multiple times as well as the security questions.
    So i was thinking that this icon might have something to do with it but i don't know...

    Hello guys;
    I trouble because my iPhone 5 is not activating because iCould is not responding but ı know what is my password but iCould says passwords wrong please help me..

    Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
    Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.

    Another user just has a similar issue tonight and I advised him to go to the below Apple support link to see if the password was recognized there, which eventually resolved his username/passowrd issue. Give it a try and see if it works.

    I can't sign-in to my iCould account from my iPhone. The account is linked to an old email address that is closed and i cant access anymore. So that means that I can't reset the password! However, I can access my iCould account from the website.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Thank you Eric. This solved my "problem." It was more of a concern. When I set up the latest operating systems of the iPhone and MacBook Pro I did vey little in the Cloud. I just as soon have all  my files local have only a MacBook Pro and iPhone.

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • HT4759 My icloud account is link to old apple id that i don't know password for and when i try to delete icould on my iphone it is asking me for a password instead of just deleting what can i do to  get my icloud accout updated with my current apple id?

    MY ICLOUD ACCOUT IS LINK TO OLD APPLE ID WHICH I DON'T KNOW PASSWORD.  WHEN I GOT TO SETTINGS TO DELETE ICLOUD TO CREATE WITH MY CURRENT IT ASK ME FOR A PASSWORD ASSOCIATED WITH THE OLD APPLE ID INSTEAD OF DELETING THE ACCOUNT.  HOW DO I DELETE THE ICLOUD ACCOUT WITH INPUTTING A PASSWORD TO TURN OFF FIND IPHONE?

    Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, 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.

  • Apple ID password not working for iCould (Lion 10.7.4).

    Every 30 minutes or so an alert featuring the iCloud icon requesting my Apple ID password. I enter my password correctly but it does not accept it and all buttons freeze. The only way to get out of the preferences is to force quit preferences which are "not responding". I also not able to access my preferences at at all. This happens every 30 minutes and is driving me crazy. Why did this start happening and how do I fix? Please help! Thank you!

    I think I might be on to something. I just tested a 32 image, portrait orientation stitch, and it worked just great.  (I didn't use lens correction and used auto, so yes there are distortions and the horizon appears off. It was a test so... )
    The images that won't stitch, are 6 in total, and 4 out of the 6 have a person in them. The person is mostly in the same position throughout the shots, but not totally the same.  The only other difference that I can note is that in both cases where the stitching worked, I did no post work in LR before stitching, whereas the ones that didn't work, I did touch them up before exporting to my hard drive. I'd be more inclined to think that PSE has an issue with the former than the latter.
