My iPhone will not recognise my password although it is correct - I can sign in on my pc without difficulty
I have been given an iPhone and am learning how to use it. I have an Apple ID which works fine for iTunes on my pc but on the iPhone (iPhone 4) it does not accept the password although it has the ID correctly. Can anyone explain why this is and what I should do to correct it.
iTunes Match is associated with a single iTunes Store account. So make sure you're logging into the mobile store on the iOS device using the same account you used to purchse the service.

I am not aware of another.
The dialogue box comes up as 'acrobatpro11_dlm wants to make changes. type your password to allow this change' and then the Name which enters automatically is 'APPLE' then it asks for my Password.
I have tried my apple password as well. -

I have just purchased an IPAD 2. I have tried to connect it to my DRAYTEK 2820n router but it will not recognise the correct password. My IPHONE 4 has no problem in connecting to this router using the same password. I understand that the wi-fi connectivity is the same for the two apple products so cannot understand why the IPAD will notr connect. Has anyone any suggestions?
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

IPhone will not retain wrt54g password
Hi all. I have a iphone that will not retain the password for a WRT54g. Each time I leave the house, I have to renter the wifi password on my phone. It remembers other networks, just not the house. I'm clueless on modems, so if you suggest that I do this or that,...... Dumb it down A LOT! Thanks!
You just need to ensure router’s firmware is updated. Reset the router and reconfigure. You can download firmware from this link http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT54G.

Hello all
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to the latest Mountain Lion OS and now my Wifi will not work. When I try and insert the password to my Wifi network states either 'connection timed out' or 'password and/or user name not recognised' please help...!Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Restart the router. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 2
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 3
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts.
Step 4
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 5
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 6
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain. -
Iphone will not ask for password for mifi networkn
My iPhone 4 will not ask for network password for Verizon MIFI network. Macbook & iPad both asked for password.
Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Setup personal hotspot on the iPhone. Is there a place for a password? Do you have the password stored in the iPhone but not in the MacBook and iPad? Check these settings and see if there is a fix for it. Otherwise, this might be something that can only be addressed by your carrier (Verizon).

My Iphone will not open. The little apple appears, but I can't get the open screen to appear
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.

My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?
My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?
That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet. Take a look at this article for a possible solution
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access. -
My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before. It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed. It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps. Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.
From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

I have attempted to upgrade os4 to os7. At the end, it threw an error that i had to turn off "Find my iphone" on my phone, which seems to be impossible at that stage as i could not access beyond the upgrade screen.
I thin chose to set up as new iphone, but icloud has taken an old expired email address for which i do not know the password. icloud will not recognise my current itunes email and password, so i now have os7 but am unable to restore from my itunes back up.
Desperately need help please... Any help appreciated
ThankyouIf 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. -
Restore back up of my iPhone-password not recognised. After restore, itunes can not restore because it says the password is incorrect. But I can sign into my apple account with the password. My iPhone is now set to factory settings as a new phone, what can i do to access the back up from my phone before I reset it.
That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.
