My iCloud Account won't recognize my password.

When my Mac prompts me to enter my password for iCloud to backup to my Mac, it says it is invalid. I tried resetting it from the link that says 'I forgot'. That still didn't work. The password works fine for everything else (iTunes, etc) just not iCloud. Any suggestions??

Same happened to me. The solution was signing out of iCloud. It will prompt some windows asking to delete data from your computer (don't worry, it's data that's stored in iCloud). And after you confirm all the windows you'll be logged out, and ready to log in again, with no problems whatsoever.
I figuerd it happend with me because I changed my password, maybe you did too?
Hope I helped.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • Mountain Lion Upgrade Won't Recognize AOL password

    I just upgraded to mountain lion and aol won't recognize my password.  Gmail and iCloud no issues at all. Driving me nuts. Quit and tried again-no luck. Rebooted-no luck. Installed latest version of aol for mac-no luck. Unchecked SSL-no luck.  Any suggestions

    Which versions of Office?  If you upgraded from Snow Leopard and you're on Office 2004, you're out of luck.  If you're on a newer version of Office you should be OK.

  • My iChat won't recognize my password

    I set up my iChat account using my google account but it won't recognize my password. I can sign in on google, but iChat just won't take it. How do I fix that? Can I reset my password?? This is very frustrating

    Hi,
    With a Google account set up in iChat there are several things to consider
    The Account name used should be exactly as it appears when you log in to the Google Web mail page.
    Apple's Mail app seems to allow you to use either @gmail or @googlemail.com to retrieve your mail.
    But the Google Talk server is fussier than this and it must match.
    Next.
    In the Server Setting tab of of iChat's Preferences > Accounts fro the Google Account it should read that the server is talk.google.com
    If you selected Google as the option in iChat 4 or 5 then thius will be done for you by the software.
    In iChat 3 there is no Google option and you have to added it first as a Jabber Account then change the Server name.
    Of course in iChat 4 or 5 if you chose Jabber and not Google you will have to change the server name as well.
    iChat uses port 5223 to Login to most Jabber servers.
    This port will need to be allowed or open in your Router.

    These types of messages often indicate a problem with the devices serial number, have you had your phone repaired at any stage or did you buy it second-hand.

  • I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 and it won't recognize my password.  I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.

    I just downloaded IOS 6.1.2 on my iPhone 4  and it won't recognize my password.  I have reset it on my Apple ID and it still says it's incorrect.  What do I need to do?

    There are two more things to try. If the first thing you try fails, try the next.
    Two Button Reset.
    This is the least likely to result in loss of data.  Read that again, especially the phrase "least likley."
    Unplug the phone form the computer.
    Press and hold both the home and the sleep/wake buttons (ignore the red slider) until you see the silver Apple logo.
    When you see the logo, let both buttons go.
    If this worked, you should see an icon instructing you to connect to iTunes.  My guess is that the reset did not work.
    DFU Restore
    This will very likley result in loss of data.
    Plug the iPhone into the computer.
    Ensure that it is running the lates version of iTunes and that it has access to the internet.
    Press and hold both the home and sleep/wake buttons for exactly eight seconds.
    Release only the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the home button for another five seconds.
    Let go of the home button, then look at the computer screen for an instructional popup.
    The popup should say "iTunes has detected a device in covery mode. . .(etc)"  Click accept to all boxes and let iTunes download and install all of the latest device Firmware and Software.
    If no popup appears, repeat the above DFU instructions.  If you 've never done a DFU, it may take about three attempts to get the timing right.

    Are you getting any date/time errors.
    Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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 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.

    Any advice?

    Nope.  You obviously didn't read (or didn't remember) the User Guide.  I will include a link for you.  If you use the iPhone as Apple recommends (so that you do NOT experience data loss), frequent backups are advised, as are synching contacts/calendars with an appropriate cloud service or computer-based contact manager like Outlook.
