My iPad demands that I sign into iMessage.  It will not accept my password and will not allow anything else to operate.

My iPad began by demanding I sign into iCloud.  (I had recently changed my Apple account password.)  I entered the password and then iMessage demanded my password for the same account.  It would not accept my password and it keeps popping up, not allowing anything else to operate on the iPad. How do I fix this?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

    If you have a verified rescue email then you can get an email sent to that email address to reset the security questions as shown in the article below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    If you do not have access to the rescue email or you do not receive the reset email then you will need to contact AppleCare for assistance:

    iPad 2 will not accept Apple id and will not let me do anything on it. It just keeps popping up on my screen

    Don't know how it happens. Have you signed in successfully with your Apple ID in App Store or iCloud? Is your iPad connected to network?
    You should make sure that your iPad is connected to a stable network. And then you should type in the correct Apple ID password.

    I have a new desktop and re-installed my identity from my airtime back up and on the log in page my picture comes up with my usual password hint, but it is not accepting my password and I do not have the option to reset using my apple id - that particular function is in grey and cannot be clicked on

    Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

  • For some reason I cannot sign into iMessage. It keeps saying my password is incorrect. I have changed it twice and the problem still exists. What do I do?

    I cannot sign into iMessage. It keeps asking for my password but when I do it says it is an incorrect password. I have changed my password twice and the same problem still exists. This also is happening on iCloud. What do I do?

    Have you tried going through the steps in this support article?

  • Since the iOS 7 update i cannot log into my icloud. Seems I have two iCloud loggins. One old. one new. When I try to delete the ol from my phone it does not accept the password nor will it take my info to reset my password.

    At one point I had set up my itunes and icloud with an old email address. I have since shanged that to a new email. iTunes works fine and I can log into my new iCloud on my PC but my phone will not allow me to delete the old iCloud email without the password. I select to reset the password but the system will not accept my birthdate or security questions. All happening after i did the iOS 7 update. Any thoughts? Thank you!

    1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID?  If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account.  If it doesn't work, try #2.
    2) If you don't have access to your old email account.  Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes.  DON'T sign out yet.  Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account.  Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address.  You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
    3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
    Hope this helps!  Cheers!

  • I am not having problems with wifi but ipad will not accept my password in the secure mode. anyone else having the same problem?

    I am having problems with the Ipad accepting my password in the secure mode in Wifi. I can get into wifi when the secure mode is off. This only started when I downloaded the lastest update for the Ipad. Anyone else having the same problems?  I have rebooted the Rotar and still doesn't work.

    I am not.
    Which secure mode are you using with your wireless network - WEP or WPA?
    Have you tried forgetting this network on your iPad, and/or resetting network settings on your iPad? Both will require rejoining the network and the latter will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of the network.

  • TS3988 My Apple TV will not accept my password and says that terms in the iCloud have change.....I can not photostream anymore...help....!

    Any suggestions????

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
    If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
    Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
    Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted.

  • I upgraded to the new iphone operating system and now i can sign into imessage

    I just updated to the new operating system for my iphone 4s but now I cant sign into imessage as it always says my network connection is not good but I am using the network for the other apps

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I can't sign into iMessages because it still has my old ID. How do I change that also?

    I changed my Apple ID today and now I can't sign into iMessage because it still shows my old ID. How can I change this??

    Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support.  If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly.  I'm sure it's something simple we're missing.  Good Luck. 
    Do remember one thing.  iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices.  This means you can only text to people who:
    1.  Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
    2.  And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher
