My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to homesharing, iTunes and renting/buying anything.

My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to anything. I know both my username and password are very correct for they work on my mac, iPhone and iPad but whenever I try to rent/buy something on my Apple TV or connect to Homesharing or my iTunes it says something is incorrect and I must change my password. I have checked and double-checked that I am not making a spelling or upper/lower-case mistake. My network works because I can browse/search movies and TV shows and I can watch previews but once I try to download something the same problem appears.

Thanks...was having the same problem and gave resetting the Apple TV a shot...already just resetting let me get on my home network, when before, I was unable to get on and had to use my Verizon MiFi.
It is now working...thank you!!!

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Yahoo Email saying Wrong Password/Username

This has happened a lot now and it's really getting annoying. My yahoo email is set up on my phone, and every day or so. It will say wrong password/username..I know I am not entering the wrong password/username, because I can log on to it on my computer. Any help would be great!
Thanks

really sounds like user error man..keep trying
Do you have it set so you can see what letters you are putting into your password? Turn that on and make sure the keyboard isn't inputting something you aren't typing

When I try to log in to iTunes Store on Apple TV, I get the message that the username is unknown or the password is wrong.

Every time I try to log in to iTunes Store on AppleTV, I get the message that the username is unknown or the password is incorrect, even though they both work on iPhone, iTunes and Mac. I have been logged in before to rent movies, so the problem is new to me. And yes, I have chosen the right country for my iTunes Store under "settings". Anyone else who have the same experince?

Many people have two Apple IDs, one for iTunes, these forums, and possibly hardware registration, and another created for use with iCloud. It's a common error to get them mixed up: you need to log into iCloud with your @me.com email address, not the ID you use for iTunes if this is different. If you want to reset your iCloud password go to http://appleid.apple.com and, again, sign in with your iCloud login.

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

Thanks, Debora

You can reset the password.
How you do it though depends on the version of OS X you are running.
On Lion or Mountain Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.
If you are using the Keychain, you will lose your existing one, and have to start a new one, unless you remember the old password.
