My apple id password is correct but my computer won't accept it

just updated to mountain lion and now my computer can't connect to icloud
i know my password is correct because it is working on my phone and for itunes, but my computer won't take it

Also, it's not offering any assistance (i.e. "click here for help") so I'm just stuck

    Open About This Mac from the Apple menu and check if you aren't alreay running 10.8.2. Otherwise, you are running a beta version.

    iMessage and FaceTime are currently experiencing problems it's nothing that you are doing wrong. Just wait it out and check back for iCloud status.

  • Why isn't my wifi connecting over a secure network? I typed the password in correctly, but it won't seem to connect.

    Why isn't my wifi connecting over a secure network? I typed the password in correctly, but it won't seem to connect.

    Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the blue circle with an arrow to the right of your network then tap: Forget This Network.
    Restart the iPad. Tap Settings / Wi-Fi. Tap the network name again then type in your password.
    If that didn't help, try here >  Apple - Support - iPad - Wi-Fi Assistant
    And try turning off your router for 5 minutes, then turn it back on. Try typing in the password again.

  • Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad.  On my account it says ID is only for 1 system.  I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

    It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

  • 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.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • I answer the security questions correctly, but the answers are not accepted

    I just got ISo8. i am trying to do the set-up routine. I answer the security questions correctly, but the answers are not accepted, so the process is stalled.
    How do I get things moving?

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

  • After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. (I had turned the computer off). I've gone in to mouse preferences but the computer won't recoginize the mouse. It worked fine before the trip. Batteries were changed.

    After not using my macbook pro for 10 days, my wireless mouse no longer works. I had the computer turned off. I've changed the batteries, gone to universal preferences, mouse preferences but the computer won't recognize the mouse. Any suggestions?

    Got it. Thanks. I deleted the mouse (not an apple, but a logitech which has worked fine for me) and then re-discovered it and it's working. Appreciate the advice.
