ITunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5

iTunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5.
Tried every password I've ever used and tried resetting my password. Nothing works!
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.

Itunes won't recognize my password and every time I change I get the same message

itunes won't recognize my password when ipod is connected and every time I change it I get the same message.

Have you restarted your computer? iTunes updated?

ITunes won't recognize iPhone 5 after I attempted to download iOS 7

I tried to download iOS 7 and I got an error message and iTunes said the update failed. Since that moment, my phone has shown the iTunes logo with the cable, prompting me to plug my phone into my computer and sync it with iTunes. Conveniently enough however, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone when I plug it in, but it will recognize my iPod touch when I plug that in to the computer. I have restarted my computer, reinstalled iTunes numerous times and yet nothing has worked. So essentially I have no ability to restore my phone and no ability access it in any way shape or form.....any help?!

What version of iTunes are you running?

TS1398 iPad won't recognize wifi password after 7.0.2 update. (The password is correct, but iPad says it's incorrect) How do I fix this?

My iPad won't recognize my wifi password after 7.0.2 update. The password IS correct, but I continue to get the message that the password is incorrect. Any ideas how to fix this?

I have the same problem too on my iPad 3. One thing that sometimes works is if you go to the App Store and put your password in there after a few tries it may work.

Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

Itunes won't recognize Ipod Classic after update

I updated my Itunes to the most recent version, then when I plugged my Ipod Classic 120gb in, Itunes would not recognize it and erased everything off of it. When I try to sync it the ipod freezes as well as Itunes and I have to unplug it and restart my computer to get Itunes working again. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know that certain Ipod Touches won't work on updated Itunes, is this the same with the Ipod Classic? I am using a PC not a Mac.
Any help is appreciated, I'm not very techy so layman terms are appreciated.

Does this happen no matter what USB port you plug the iPod into? Have you tried using a different USB sync cable to see if that makes any difference?
Sounds like there may be issues with your iPod's hard drive. Perhaps it would be worth it to run a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD to make sure it is still in a healthy condition. See this older post from another forum member turingtest2 on how to perform this test and what the resulting numbers indicate.

TS1368 itunes won't recognize my password for apple id

Ever since i moved to icloud i cannot log in to itunes. I've changed my password and have made my old address the primary. please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
What type of wifi security are you using.
Does your ID or password have any unusual characters.
Are you getting any date/time errors.
Is this the first time you have used the Apple TV.

ITunes won't recognize my password

When my Dad tries to log into his iTunes account he keeps receiving the message his login and password don't match. He then changes his password and it works for a little bit then this starts all over again. Any suggestions? He is using an EarthLink email address could that be a problem?

Itunes won't recognize iphone 4s after itunes 10.7, ios6 and ios6.0.1 upgrades

I recently upgraded to ios6. My old version of itunes had to be upgraded to 10.7 to work with my 4s. Ok fine, whatever. Worked for a few days and then itunes has now suddenly stopped recognizing my iphone. Iphoto works so it's not a problem with the computer recognizing the phone itself. I tried upgrading tonight to 6.0.1. No dice. Also, now my ipad2 with ios6 is not being recognized by itunes either. Anyone else having this problem? This is really annoying, not having the ability to perform one of the most basic functions that these devices promise. Please fix these ios6 bugs, Apple. I'm starting to wonder why I ever stopped using an Android phone, which btw, is recognized at least as a hard drive for music loading. Your products shouldn't work this poorly with each other. I know at this point I'm venting but this stuff really is frustrating. Please work to keep me as a customer. Any tips anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

HT201342 I can't use my email won't recognize my password after I change it

I can't use my email

That would be your MobileMe account password. Send a request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html or call the AppleCare phone number for your area. The phone no. will probably get a faster response from Apple.
Also ask your question in the MobileMe forum: MobileMe on my Mac. There will be users there that can answer it quickly.

Itunes won't recognize a valid password

Here's a weird one. (MacBook Pro 2.4G 10.6.2) Tried to buy something on the itunes store, and my password does not work. So, I recover the password. Still doesn't work. Then I reset the password... 3 times. None of those work either.
So, I go to my office computer (Mac Pro 8-core 10.6.2) and reset the password again. Works fine. I can access the itunes store or anything else on Apple's site. I take that same password into the other room, and using the MacBook Pro, the itunes store says "invalid user or password" and will not allow me on. Yet, I am still on that computer, using that same password, to log into the forums here... This computer will log into Apple but not into itunes.
itunes support says that since the password is stored on their site, it should work on either computer. It doesn't.
Ideas??
thanks
Don

I am having a similar issue. I recently tried to sync my Ipod with iTunes and got a message saying 100 songs were not autorized and I need to authorize computer. Odd as I have been syncing these devices for years. I go to authorize, and iTunes won't recognize my password. I change password. Still no luck. then I go to STORE>>VIEW MY ACCOUNT, and using the same user ID and password I can access all my info. But when I try STORE>>AUTHORIZE COMPUTER, I get the failed message again. How is that possible? So, now I have music I can't play on my iPod for absolutely no reason.
