My apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad

my apple id password only works on my mac but not on my iPhone or iPad what do i do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

ICloud outgoing mail works on my Mac but not on my iPhone

After adding my iCloud (.me and .icloud) mail accounts to OSX Mail I was then not able to send mail from the .me account. This was solved by manually adding the SMTP details.
But the problem is persisting on my iPhone with the same account. I have of course checked that the 'Sync Mail Accounts' button in iTunes is ticked, but this still has not fixed the issue.
Any ideas?

The real "me.com" account does not exist since me servers were retired in summer of 2012. Your actual server is icloud.com. So check if you can send emails from icloud.com email. If you can, you can always make sure that your recipient sees me.com email from you by changing "From" box in new mail. When you tap on that from email, you will see all the options, including me and icloud. If you do not see icloud, the way to add it to the phone is to go to settings on the phone, click icloud and turn on mail switch. I do not think you would be able to sync that mail account over itunes.

I have a bluetooth headset that only works in phone feature but not in itunes or apps on my iphone, please help.
It works fine through my macbook, can't find anything in settings on iphone to resolve problem

The headset has to have A2DP capability, which most (I believe) do not.

HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

Please help! My I-pod touch works on a Mac but not a PC. When hooked up to a PC, the device is not recognized in I-tunes message, says I-pod in recovery mode and to restore, after checking update and restore, receive unknown error message (9). Have tried unistaling and reinstalling I-tunes, using different USB ports, creating new user, restarting computer, using different PC, and trying to reset by holding sleep/wake and home buttons all to no avail, very, very frustrated, everything is fine on a Mac!!

I have CA Internet Security Suite Plus 2010, version 6.0.0.264.
I was wondering about that one in particular.
Try configuring you CA as per kalda01's instructions in this post:

(Sometimes switching the security software off doesn't help, but doing the configuration does help. Not sure what's afoot with that, but it has happened with other security-package problems with iTunes in the past.)

express works on my mac but not I pad or I phone which has been updated to ios7. Ideas?

You do know that the controls for AirPlay have been moved in iOS7, correct?
Is that what you are asking about here? If yes, you might want to read up a bit on the changes in iOS7.

HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

Hi pwillener,
Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
. This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

Custom Dashcode widget works fine on mac, but not in iBooks

I wrote a dashcode widget that works fine on my mac but not in iBooks, what am I doing wrong?
I am trying to create a widget that performs a specific calculation when the user inputs the 2 variables. However when I go to preview it on my iPad, the button that performs the calculation disapears. It is visible in the thumbnail, but once you launch to full size... bye bye...
Help is appreciated. Are buttons not allowed?

That is not correct. What sets the size of the widget when it runs is the canvas size of the widget, not Default.png.
At the link below, you can find a widget with a Default.png of 140x200 pixels. When you run the widget, it displays at 900x607 pixels.

This demonstrates that Default.png has nothing to do with the size of the widget when it runs. Default.png need not even have the same aspect ratio as the widget canvas.

HT5622 My Apple ID works on the computer but not on my iphone when i try to log in

I have recently gotten an iPhone bought from someone I know.
I know the iPhone is genuin, however, my Apple ID only works on the computer and as I am trying to start up my new iPhone it isnt working?

Sounds like the person didn't wipe the device first before giving to you. They need to do that with THEIR ID, before you can use yours.

ICloud works on my Mac but not my iPhone 4

I Reset my iCloud password on my Mac book and iPhone 4. After resetting the password twice, iCloud
works on my Mac book, but not my iPhone. What should I do?

What I meant was is there an Apple ID (not yours) in there.
Did you try Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap the red Sign Out?

Wifi signal working on my MacBook, but not on my IPhones. Why?

I've been having trouble with my network signal strength for the last few weeks since my service started. My ISP is DirecTV.
Today, my service went down completely and after I called them, it came back about an hour later. I now have Internet service on my MacBook, but not on any of my mobile devices, including IPhones. They are unable to see the base station.
I've rebooted many times. Occassionally, it will see my network signal, but then it drops off. I have a Motorola SB5101 Modem. One thing I do know from calling DirecTV so often is that the tech on the phone today did change my IP address. Does that have anything to do with my problem?
My fear is that if I call them again, I will once again be without any Internet access, so I'm waiting patiently on a Thursday appointment, but if I can do anything to fix it now, I'd like to. Thank you.

there might be something different on the mac you can try appleid.apple.com and reset your password i would also check the mac to see which appleid is signed you may have multiple apple ids and not know

Forms work on my Mac but not on my PC? "Operation is not permitted"

I created a form but it tells the user "operation is not permitted" when the submit button is pressed and also doesn't allow the user to access the any of the field to type their information in.
It is very frustrating for me as I need the form to work so I can upload it to the clients website and get paid. It is particularly frustrating when it works on my Macbook Pro but wont work on my PC or the millions of PC out there.
This is how I made the PDF. And I also made using the same process a test, blank page PDF with 1 text field and 1 submit button and nothing else.
1. Mad the form in Illustrator
2. Exported it as PDF
3. Made the form fields
4. Made the Submit button
5. Enabled usage rights for Adobe Reader
6. Saved file
7. Uploaded the file
8. Works on Mac and not on PC
Can someone please help. I have spent numerous hours and searches on it, It's driving me crazy.
Anyone from Adobe care to help? Probably not.

Looks like there is something wrong with my PC.
The PDF form worked fine on the clients computer. It seems like the only place it wouldn't work is on my PC. So I am assuming it's a problem with my computer.
Don't know what it could be though, I have the latest version of reader and it's a new computer.
From one problem to another...story of my life...:)
At least it's working at clients end.
Thanks for trying to help MarkATS

I had a shared mobileme account for my work calendar- 4 people sharing call using one set of calendars. It is on my mac but not on my iphone anymore...just 3 of my calendars went to icloud. Any idea how to get the calendars from a "family" mobileme?

I had a group account on mobileme...a family pack that each of us at work had an individual account and we all shared one account in the family. It kept our work calendar- a schedule telling who is in the office and who is on call. This is still on my macBook but not on my phone or my iPad. Any idea how I make my phone show the calendars on my MacBook? It was there before I went to iCloud.

If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.

Burned DVD works on PPC Macs, but not Intel

We have two identical copies of a burned DVD. When we insert it into one of the two intel Macs we have (MacPros), it spits them back out or gives read/write errors. When we put the DVD into either of the two PPC macs we have, they mount without issue.
Booting to an external gives the same error, so it's not a software issue it seems.
Has anyone else seen this before? Thank you for any help!

Are these just data discs? Or are you trying to use them for booting the computers? If it is the latter, Intel boot discs cannot boot PPC and vice versa. If it is the former, it's definitely a bizarre sounding problem. Unless, of course, when you say "when we instert it into one of the two intel Macs.." you literally mean only one of the Mac Pro's gives you problems then it's probably just a faulty drive. But if both give you problems, well, then it's still a bizarre problem.
Try feeding us with more details. OS versions, disc types/formats/contents, DVD-R drive models, whatever you can think of to help us help you.

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
WHY???!!!???

You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.
