My email on my mac (which has iCloud) is giving me a message that the server has rejected my password. When I go onto the internet and sign into iCloud there, the password is accepted. What am I doing wrong??

Thanks...I just spent an hour on the phone with Apple Support sorting out the password issues for my various devices!!! My password was compliant with the new rules, but there were some (mysterious) setting issues that required me to delete mail from my MacBookPro and add it back, again. All in all, it was an hour of trouble-shooting which resulted in what, I hope, is a good fix.
Thanks for your help...wishing you continued success in the support community.

I have a new internet service provider and router and need to re-connect to my airport express. However, Airport Express is not showing up. Also, when I launch Airport utility (new and 5.6), it shows no available devices. What am I doing wrong?

iMac (2008), 10.7.5
Airport Express (2008)
Comcast wifi router

The AirPort Express must be reset back to factory default settings first, and then reconfigured again.
To reset the AirPort......
Power off the device
Wait a minute
Hold in the reset button first, then continue to hold the reset button in for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AirPort back into power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart
Try using AirPort Utility 5.6 now to see if it will "see" the AirPort so that it can be set up again.
If you are using AirPort Utility 6.x, you must first click on the Other WiFi Devices tab, then click on AirPort Express to start the setup wizard

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.

Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck

I am getting account not verified when trying to set up icloud on my iphone. I check my email and there is nothing in my inbox or junk. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

My password seems to be working but my apps on my i pad will not update? what am i doing wrong?

i hove not been able to update apps on my ipad for weeks my password seems to work but it will not update apps? what am i doing wrong?

What happens when you try to update? That is the missing element here? Without knowing what you are experiencing, it's really difficult to suggest what to do. I will go on the assumption that you are seeing the "waiting" icons. If that's the case, this is my standard response that includes quite a number of things to try.
Even if it is not the "waiting" icons issue, one of these suggestions might help anyway.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Real newbie-I can hear my loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio. What am I doing wrong?

Real newbie question-I can hear the loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio when I playback or record. What am I doing wrong?

You probably put Midi loops (green) on audio tracks, and audio loops (blue) on Midi tracks.
That won´t play.

Not able to change slide duration. It's set to 4.0; I change it to 3.0 and it changes to 6.5 or something. What am I doing wrong?

I can't seem to change the slide duration in iMovie. It's set to 4.0 automatically. I change it to 3.0. The program resets it to 6.5 or something I never intended. What am I doing wrong?

I bought an iPad from a friend and can't activate it under my account! What am I doing wrong?

The previous owner says it's been deleted from iCloud account, but when I try to activate it, it still says it's linked to former owners email!

He needs to sign onto his iCloud account on a computer and remotely erase the device: https://www.icloud.com
Once he has erased the device, then he can click on "Remove From Account"
