My apple password keeps being reset, but not by me

My i tunes password keeps being reset, but not by me,  please help

If you have never shared your password with anyone then your account was hacked. NOT your iPhone, your Apple ID. If you use the same password for other accounts any of them could have been hacked, and your password obtained from that other account. If your password was simple it could have been hacked by brute force. If it is a word found in any dictionary especially. Or if there is anything personally identifiable about it (nickname, pets name, address, name of someone you know).
The really important thing is to get it resolved QUICKLY with Apple Security, and to change all passwords that might have been stored in an iCloud backup of your phone.

  • Password on apple id works on iPad but not on Mac Pro

    Pass word on apple id works with iPad but not on Mac Book Pro, what is the solution, I have tried to reset password but that does not seem to solve the problem.

    It kind of depends on where you're entering the password on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store? App Store?
    Try the password on this website https://id.apple.com/ (click on [manage my apple id]
    If it works on that website there's nothing wrong with your apple id or password. In that case we really will need to know exactly what you're trying to do when you're getting the password error.

  • I've got my scroll blocked for the Mail only. The Mail keeps being updated but i can not touch it, as if the screen wad locked...

    I have my Mail blocked for scrolling. I am a new user of ipad2, started the Mail this morning and nos it is blocked. It keeps being updated, but i cannot touch it. And i can touch normally other applications. Any heló appreciated.

    Quit the mail app and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    It sounds like this iPad was purchased second hand.  If so, you will need to contact the original owner, otherwise your iPad will remain Activation Locked.

  • My apple id keeps getting reset. I have had to change my password at least 6 times in the last two weeks and it has now reset again

    You probably are mixing up your password with passwords from other accounts. If i were you i would write down your password somewhere easy to acess and make it very hard to guess if you ever reset it.

    My iphone was updating to IOS6 from IOS5, then I thought by turning off my iphone it will cancel the update. It did, but now it keeps turning on but not compleely only until the apple sign shows up then turns off. Help please!

    You will have to try putting it in DFU mode and allowing it to update. Once it has begun, you can't stop it.

    When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account.
    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

  • Can't FaceTime anymore?  iPad states wifi connected and iPhone 4 states not connected?  I have wireless in my home? Not sure what happened.  Password works for iPad but not on phone?

    iPhone won't connect to wifi.  iPad is connected.  Password working on iPad but not on phone.  Can't upload software update of IOS 7.1 because phone not connecting to wifi?

    Connect iPhone to computer and open iTunes.  You will be prompted to update to iOS 7.0.  Keep your phone connected until the update is finished.

    That's fine. I just didn't understand, but suspected that's what you meant.
    You should contact Apple about this. Go to this website, find your country, and call Apple and ask to speak to Account Security about this.

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    Kernel panics:
    After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists. 
    I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
    I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
    Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.
