My email has stopped allowing me to log in; it is telling me the password is incorrect, even though I am putting in the correct password.  Help!

Today, while I was using my email, it suddenly stopped working and told me that my email required a password.  When I went into settings to put in a password, the phone told me it was incorrect.  When I got home to try and figure out what was going on, I had a message on my computer saying that my email account had been compromised, so I changed my password.  I still could not put this password into my phone - I was getting the message from the phone that the password was incorrect.  What is going on???

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • TS4532 My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange using the web browser. The connection worked until IOS 6.1.2 was Install

    My iPhone V will not connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. It says that the User Name or Password are incorrect even though they're not and I can log on directly to Exchange with the same parameters using the web browser.
    I bought the phone when it came out last October. The connection did not work at first, then started without warning in December. It worked perfectly for 2 months then stopped again when IOS 6.1.2 was Installed.
    Help please!

    I have forwarded these questions about the version of Exchange server that is being used and whether Microsoft host the mai themselves to the IT Dept but I will not get a reply from them until tomorrow.
    In the meantime I have also tried:
    Deleting and re-creating the account AGAIN!
    And re-setting the phone (recommended as a solution to a similar problem with an iPad in another forum.
    But please remember that:
    The phone would not connect for 2 months after I bought it
    Then started working unexpectedly in December
    Then stopped working again when IOS 6.1.2. was installed
    Also why am I the only person affected by this when colleagues with iPhone 3s and 4s who use the same mail system are not (I am still trying to find one with an iPhone V to see if their's works).
    Like I said I think that there must be a fault, either with my own phone or with iPhone Vs in general.

    I tried to authorize my Computer and eBookreader with a new Adobe-ID, but it says I've done used this ID too often, even though it was brandnew! Can't copy my just-purchased eBook because "Copying is not allowed".
    I hold my thumbs for you that Adobe solves this Problem fast enough. Other ways I'll sell my eBookreader and buy the Kindle-Reader from Amazon and say GOOD BYE to Adobe!

  • My Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move thumbnails with the mouse.

    For some unknown reason my Acrobat 9 Standard has stopped allowing me to move the thumbnails with the mouse to change the order of a PDF document.  I've tried reinstalling.  I'm at my wits end on this one...

    Try updating to version 9.5.2.  I seem to remember that one of the earlier updates did this and a later update rectified the issue.  I don't have that issue with 9.5.2

    email once several min. No paticular opearation trigger the massage, I
    think. When it happens, E mail keep acessing the server and keep popping
    tye massage  when email try to contact the server. After I waiped the cache
    and reset all email connectin from scratch, The email sync the server
    contents till the email which synced just before the massage appear. Then
    start popping the massage again. It is suddenly reading again after several
    wipe and settng try without any special operation. It is very anoying. Is
    it SW issue or HW issue?

  • Unfortunately email has stopped

    I keep getting an error that says "Unfortunately email has stopped"  Sometimes I am not even in my email.  I have 3 email accounts set up.  One is corporate work email, a gmail, and a time warner cable email account.  No I am having problems getting the email to even open.  I have a notification on the top of the screen but I cannot open it.

    Same here. I've had a Droid Razr Maxx for a year. No recent op system updates. No new apps downloaded recently. About a week ago, phone began displaying same message "Unfortunately email has stopped" every few minutes. I have 2 gmail accounts, a corporate account, and a godaddy email account. If the email app is open (either corporate or goddaddy inbox) and the message pops up, the email app closes automatically. I think this glitch is also the reason my phone has sucked down 1.5 gb in the past 5 days because if I open settings, select data usage, then select email, the email foreground app has used 40 mb in past 7 days, but the background has used 1.63 gb. I'm almost always on wifi and have never come close to using even half a gb until now. Has something hijacked my phone? Is the email app resetting and resynching multiple times in an hour? Is this a software issue? Is this a com.motorola.motoemail issue? I've always had email accounts set to sync every 15 minutes and download attachments over wifi. Haven't changed settings in months. I just realized my battery has also been draining much more than usual. In the past, my screen used the most significant amount of battery, but now my phone says the email is using more than the screen. I am now at a loss as far as troubleshooting.

    I keep getting the following message on my phone "Sorry!  The application Email (processcom.andriod.email) has stopped unexpectedly.  Please try again"  and there is a force shutdown button, which I push but keep getting the message.  Any ideas how to make it go away so I can get my emails?

    Have you installed any applications recently?  A task killer maybe?  You can try rebooting the phone and see if that helps.

    iTunes has stopped allowing me to import CDs. if I reboot it will import one, and only one. all was working fine before. the itunes diagnostics have all green lights

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Firefox has stopped allowing me to open downloads from websites or yahoo e-mail - I can only save them

    This week my browser has stopped allowing me to open and view PDF downloads whether they are from a website or an e-mail. I am no longer given the save or open option when accessing these file types.

    Try going to "Tools" at the top of your screen. Then go to "options" and then to "applications". Scroll down the list of "Content type" until you come to Adobe Acrobat Document. Click on the "action" to the right of this line item and choose Adobe Acrobat (or whichever program you want to open the document with). And then click "OK" at the bottom of the screen.
    Sometimes when you install a Firefox update, it will delete this setting, and then you have to go back in here to re-set your preferences.
