My iphone 4s says that my aol email password is wrong when it isn't

Hi
I have had my Iphone 4s for nearly 2 years. Everything was fine until this afternoon when I tried to access my AOL email and an error message came up saying 'Cannot Get Mail. The username or password for "AOL" is incorrect. I know that it is in fact correct and even though I have deleted the account and added it again it still says the same thing.
Any help?
Thanks

Well I went to my mail on my computer and AOL had sent an email saying that I had reset my password which I hadn't so it looks as though it may have been hacked although when I went to change my password and entered a new password it says it was the old password which makes me think it hadn't been reset!
Anyway I changed the password on my iphone and so far so good.
If it does it again I'll let you know.
Thanks for your help

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion.You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

My iphone does not make back ups anymore. It says that my i-cloud password is wrong. When it clearly is not. What can i do about it?

My phone doesn't make back -ups anymore. It says my password is wrong, when clearly that's not the case. Can any one tell me how i can solve this?

You will need the correct email address and password. Try signing on to iCloud on web browser. https://www.icloud.com If that does not work then you do not have the correct credentials regardless of what you think.

Why is iphoto saying my city/state/zip combo is wrong when it isn't... I am trying to order a photobook I created on iphoto.

Unable to order my iphoto photobook due to Apple telling me my city/state/zip combo in my account info is wrong when it isn't.

iPhoto '08, Macbook Pro
Looking at your profile signature - are you really using iPhoto '08? You need at least iPhoto '09 to be able to order books from Apple. Printing books from iPhoto '08 is no longer supported.
Apple Photo Services: Product line details for books, cards, and calendars
And make sure, that the iPhoto Preferences are set to the correct Print Product Store. Otherwise the Store will not interpret your address correctly: You can only order from a store in the country of your Billing Address.

IPhone tells me my exchange password is wrong when it isn't

Hi,
This is starting to drive me a bit mad.
I have set up the iPhone to do exchange, and despite entering the correct password (I have tested this by logging on to the web version of exchange using the password) I keep being told by the iPhone that the password I am using is wrong.
I have downloaded a digital cert to the iPhone from the companies exchange server website etc.
Driving me mad. Has anyone else experienced this? Could there be another password I'm not aware of?

Ralf -
You are a lifesaver. I've wasted hours in the past two weeks trying to set my Exchange 2007 account up on the iPhone. I've been using a Gmail account to get all work emails, and it was just not very useful. I was so excited about this new software and yet so frustrated with the process. Several things I learned....
Yes, indeed, Ralf is correct, the direction of the slash matters, at least regarding the password. The iPhone does NOT like the forward slash, though you have to go thru TWO menus on the keypad to get to the correct backslash (the ?123 button and then the #+= button).
Another thing - it appears that the iPhone does not like having two email accounts on the phone. I already had my Gmail account set up, and was trying to set up the Exchange account with the Gmail account still active. A better bet is to erase all email accounts and start with the Exchange account. I'm not sure if I'll bother re-setting up the Gmail account for fear that it will mess up the Exchange account, but if any of you are braver than me, let me know how it goes.
Third thing - for whatever reasons, at the bottom of my inbox, there's a line that reads "4294867298 unsent messages." No idea what that means, but I'm pretty sure that I don't have 4 billion emails waiting to be sent out, so I'm hoping this is normal.
Fourth thing - when I synced the iPhone manually thru iTunes (at least when I was using the Gmail account), my Outlook calendar would download into the iPhone, and conveniently take a few entries (about 23) with it into cyberspace. The entries are still on the email server, and they show up in my Active Appointments view in Outlook, but not in the more useful Calendar view. Again, no idea how this happens, but I won't be plugging in the iPhone to my computer anytime soon. Hoping it doesn't do the same thing over ActiveSync.
And finally, keep fighting with your tech guys and reading these posts, b/c it turns out I knew more than they did about how to set this up and the various obstacles we would run into.
Good luck!

I cant login on my iphone it say that mi code or mail is wrong but it is okay i dont understand

i solved the problem my self

Sorry, but no one can help you except the previous owner. They must either give you the ID and password, or erase it and remove it from their account as explained in the article you were reading. There is no way around it.

My iMessage is saying my password is wrong when It isn't...

Why is iMessaing doing this... I have been having a lot of problems with my iPhone 5 and its getting sickeing, I'm thinking of switching to samsung!

Seeing a lot of threads re: imessage being down in the last hour, could be a problem with the Apple server. I would try again later.

IPhone and iPad saying gmail password wrong when it isn't

Both my iPhone and iPad are throwing up a message saying that my Gmail password is wrong when it isn't! Can someone help me please? I've tried the unlock capchta route but not having any luck. Fingers crossed that someone can help me please. Thanks very much!

Gmail has been having issues with their servers and they are aware of it, I don't believe they've found any solutions. But they have said you can work around it by logging in using Safari.
If you haven't tried logging itno Gmail on Safari, you should do it, just to ensure your password and user name are correct.
It's hard to find, but here is the support site for Gmail:

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

My laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time.

My Dell laptop hard drive crashed - when I go to sync my iPhone it says that my phone is already synced with another computer and can only be synced with one computer at a time. When I hit sync is says it will erase my phone and sync with the new computer which is blank. How do I get my phone to sync my contacts, pics, apps etc. over to my new hard drive without losing anything.

Yes, so what's confusing... Did you not restore the backup of your data, contacts, pics, apps, music, etc. to the new hard drive after you replaced it or reformatted it or whatever you did? If so, then you can just sync your data back.
If not, please try searching the forum. This has been addressed hundreds of times here.

Hi RaychelM,
If you are repeatedly prompted to authorize your computer, even after you have already done so, you may find the following article helpful:
