My apple password is just not working while trying to update my software even after resting it!

Somebody please help!

OK, do this:
Boot to your Recovery partition by holding down the Command and R key whilst booting. When you get to the Recovery menu, open Terminal under the Utilities menu item. In Terminal, type:
resetpassword
... a small app will open that will allow you to change the password for the user you select - be certain that you select a user with admin privileges. Type the new password (twice) and give yourself a good 'hint'. Then press OK and reboot your MBP, using your new password for an admin account. Be sure that you use a password that you can remember.
Then you'll be able to do whatever you like.

    What is the error that you are seeing? Try to login using another App like GameCenter or iMessage? Also try logging in to other Apps like Facebook to check if it is your Internet connection problem.

  • My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install

    My Mac OS X does not restart while trying to update/install iTunes. It allows me to click on Restart button, then just the screen saver shows up, waited 10 -15mins and nothing happens.  Had to force shut to try again, same thing happens.

    As a test, try opening the PDFs using Preview and see if they will print correctly from that application. If so, then it is likely an Acrobat problem. If they still don't print correctly, it is like a file problem.
    You can also try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Hi,
    I am trying to update the device software of my Nokia E5.
    In Ovi Suite it shows that 1 software update for the device is available.
    However, while trying to update the device it creates a backup and says "Service Not Available" -- Try Again Later. This is happening for quite a long time.

  • My App Store does not work when trying to update applications

    My Apo store does not work when I try to update applications that need to be updated

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

  • Fatal Error while trying to update device software

    I have recently purchased my first blackberry (the storm).  I have added the desktop manager to my computer and when I connect my device, it automatically checks for updates.  It shows that I have have software updates to download, it gives me a summary of applications to update.  Then it asks to click finish.  When I do that, it goes to an Error message:  Fatal error has occured while updating your devices software.  Please try again.  I have tried many times, and I even removed the desktop manager and reloaded it, with the same results.  Any ideas?

    What version of the desktop manager are you using? Do you have enough free memory? and what version are you using now, options/status
    If someone helped you give them kudos. Research all info!

  • Iphone 5s won't work while trying to update to ios 8.0.2

    Attempted to update iPhone 5s to 8.0.2 from a version of iOS 7, received an error message (made the mistake of not documenting the error code). Now the device will not turn on past about two seconds of the Apple logo, and the computer will not recognize the device. The device will not enter recovery mode. I have tried restarting iTunes and resetting the Apple Mobile Device service multiple times. Help please, thank you!

    Hey eryic,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone wont turn on. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • IPhone not working post trying to update ISO 7 version 3

    Hi my wife has tried update her IPhone 4 wife the latest ISO 7 update. During the process something went wrong and now says it needs to be plugged into iTunes and is stuck. When I try to plug in a network error stops it recovering. Any suggestions?

    Are your restrictions On in settings?  That may prevent you from using safari and iTunes.

  • Error 11500:2,-14 while trying to update tax software

    I'm trying to install an update from H&R Block for CA state tax return, and get this error message:
    An error prevented the update from completing
    error 11500:2,-14
    Not sure if this is a problem with my mac or with their update -- I've tried several things with HRBlock to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for any insight.

    Hi Z, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Do you have at least 15% free space on your HD? Have you successfully run Repair Disk? If "no" to either, I would take care of that. If "yes" to both, read on.
    This error usually indicates a bad/failed update, which you know already. Try downloading and installing the update again. If that doesn't work, uninstall/trash the original app and install it from scratch, then download the update again and try installing it. If still no luck repeat the process while booted into Safe Mode.
