Multiple issue: Newly created passwords don't work/ can't update apps.

My issue is more with my apple i.d. than with my devices, which are an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 (will be upgrading soon). A few weeks ago, an icloud message popped up asking for my password. When I entered my password, it didn't work. I tried my password in several other places and it wasn't working, so I went into iForgot and changed it. It still wasn't working, so I tried changing it again, still no luck. This cycle continued for some time, recreating my apple id password over and over. I am using the same apple i.d. that I was before, but I had to change my gamecenter id, losing access to some games. My biggest concern is that I can get into the app store to see my account, but I can't update apps on either device. It doesn't say that I have the incorrect password, try again. It just does nothing. When I look at my account settings, I see that there is a password already in place (a previous password, can't see the digits, only the number of characters), but it is not the new one I created. When I try to put mine in it just reverts back to the old password, still leaving me unable to update my apps. About a week after this started, my wife and I noticed a dollar charge to our itunes account that we didn't do, we investigated and found out that my itunes account had been hacked. Apparently, the scam works when a small charge goes through and then once it does, much more is spent on itunes. I took my card off file and am waiting to get my apps updated, before I enter a new one. There are numerous issues happening and I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello bcHarrisburg,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you haven't been able to log into or use certain Apple services that require an Apple ID.
I have a few troubleshooting resources that can help, although if it appears that your account has been compromised, this article suggests contacting Apple Support:
Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you believe your account information has been compromised, visit My Apple ID to change your password immediately. If you need additional help, contact Apple Support.
For more help with sign in issues, you can find some tips in these articles:

All the best,

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

My password don't work?

My password don't work and I need to update three apps and I can download.

If your password works on your computer's iTunes and not on the iPad, then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works on it.
Otherwise try resetting your password via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com

Hi,
I upgraded the firmware for my WRVS4400N v2 to version 2.0.2.1 firmware, now old and default passwords don't work. I have tried resetting it as well, and the default password does not work. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
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".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

No, you will not loose anything. However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID. Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

I just bought a new iPhone 5 and both the itunes and the App Store apps don't work, can anyone give me some answers?

I cannot install apps on iphone 3gs. It shows that app is installing after entering password and then it quits. I can still update apps

After I enter my password, it shows that it is installing app then it goes back to the install app screen. I can still update apps though. I updated my software to iOS 6.1.3 and that did not help. I do not receive any error messages.

Did you find a solution for this? I have a user at work with this exact issue but on their iPhone 4S.
Thanks

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Hi, I've lost my Mac password to allow my Mac to install new software like Maverick OS. Does anyone know how I can reset the password please, so I can allow updates? Thanks.

Hi Jamjoint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, 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. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

I have a known good apple id and password but when I try to update apps i am told incorrect password or id

I have a known good apple id and password, but when I try to update apps I am told incorrect apple id or password through the iTunes store

Probably because the Apps in question were originally downloaded using a different Apple-id.
