    Hello jthompsonn25,
    I'm sorry to hear about your iPhone and the issues you are having with Messages on your Mac. If you are trying to send iMessage messages in Messages, your iMessage account should be tied to your Apple ID (same account name and password). If you are having password issues in Messages, you may want to verify that you have the correct password by logging in to your Apple ID directly:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you are unable to or are still getting an error message with your password, you may need to reset the password on your Apple ID. If that is the case, you may find the following article helpful:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • I keep getting emails saying my password has been changed , everytime i go reset it with stronger passwords, but it keeps happening, anyone got any ideas?

    Hi all, I keep getting emails saying my password has changed, I have now reset my password 4 times in the last 2 weeks with stronger and stronger passwords and have also changed my security questions, anyone got any ideas how to resolve this problem?

    No.   I am a volunteer, not always on good terms with Apple either.   I'm sorry I don't seem to have helped but what I told you is what I would tell anyone in your situation.
    I hope Thomas r won't mind me pasting one of his replies, but the thread is so long it could be daunting.   Thomas knows about these things.
    ******  Courtesy to Thomas r.
    As has already been pointed out earlier in this topic, the issue is either a repeated phishing attempt (in which someone sends you a faked e-mail, directing you to a faked site, which tries to get you to "log in" so that the hackers can get your ID and password) or someone is repeatedly trying to get access to your account. I'm guessing the latter is more likely... someone's repeatedly trying to reset your password, for who knows what reason, and they're trying repeatedly because they're never getting the password reset e-mail. (Why they would expect to receive that e-mail I don't know... people are stupid.)
    Make sure your Apple ID has a good, secure password. (There is no need to reset your own password to do this, just go toappleid.apple.com and change it.) I'd also advise turning on two-factor authentication to further protect your Apple ID:
    Apple introduces two-factor authentication
    This will prevent password reset attempts, as it will not be possible to even start the password reset process without having access to the device used to receive the code used as the second identification factor.
    Hope this helps.

    The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

    Try this first - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • A visitor from Japan is unable to connect an iPhone or a Macbook Air to my Airport Extreme it says the password is invalid but the password works for other devices?

    Am unable connect a MacBook Air to Airport Extreme using a valid password get an error message that password is invalid. The Mac belongs to a visitor from Japan?

    Test by simplifying the name for the wireless and set names for the two bands..
    eg AE24ghz and AE5ghz.
    Then use no security.. does the MBA and iphone then join..
    If so put back security.. wpa2 with simple password, no spaces pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.
    If no connection test with fixed channels .. say 11, 9, 6 in that order for 2.4ghz.
    Don't worry about 5ghz for now.. if it still won't join it is somehow incompatible.. you need to reset the Japanese devices but I am not sure how.

    Ipad and iPhone will not send mail saying yahoo password is wrong.  I have tried re entering correct password in setting and it will not "take."  What can I do?

    Yahoo has been having many email problems this last couple of weeks. There is nothing you can do about it.

  • Yahoo Email saying Wrong Password/Username

    This has happened a lot now and it's really getting annoying. My yahoo email is set up on my phone, and every day or so. It will say wrong password/username..I know I am not entering the wrong password/username, because I can log on to it on my computer. Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    really sounds like user error man..keep trying
    Do you have it set so you can see what letters you are putting into your password? Turn that on and make sure the keyboard isn't inputting something you aren't typing

  • I keep getting emails saying my password has been reset but i am not doing it?

    every week i am getting a reset your password link and then another saying my password has been reset.
    i am running out of passwords to choose.
    is it likely to be an error

    Who else knows your Apple ID and password?
    I would also change the password for the Mail account you use with the Apple ID since someone could have hacked into that mail account.
    Furthers I would go to iTunes>Store>View Account and go to Purchase History see if there are any purchases that you did not make. If problem also contact iTunes
    Contact iTunes

  • Iphone 4s won't send email, says username/password is incorrect

    using googlemail on my imac and synced via itunes. This worked perfectly on my old iphone 3 but won't allow me to send any emails from the new one. I'm still receiving email so the password must be correct. Not sure what to do now? anyone help?

    Is wifi connected and working. Are you signed out on other mobile devices and outlook etc. You can be locked out when signed in toomany places atonce. Sometimes you need to sign into your email account from a laptop or desktop computer. This will not work on mobile device. You will need to make sure there are not pop boxes, security info required, etc. Obviously this tests password too. After trying to enter manually as mentioned above, go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars>Tap on any accounts saved that are not working or used anymore and delete them. If that doesn't resolve delete the "previously working" account and add account again. 

  • HT201210 Why is it that I am not able to update my ap ps. Keeps saying my password is invalid but yet I can download ?

    Why is it that I cannot update my apps, keep saying invalid passwords but yet I can download?

    Hi Susan,
    In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

  • My iPhone all of the sudden kicked me out of my email say my password is wrong and I know I'm putting it in right I even tried deleting my account and putting it in again and it's still not working

    I need help my iPhone  kicked me out of my email and it's telling me my password wrong! I know I'm putting in my password is right but it's still not working please help

    Hello Jodi216,
    It sounds like you are unable to access your email in the mail account becuase you are being told the password is incorrect, and you have removed the email account and re added it. I recommend starting by deleting the mail account as you had before. Then close the open apps on your phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue by signing back into the account in Settings, and testing the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If it persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it from your backup with this article to delete the current iOS 7 installation and install a fresh copy:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • Exchange email says incorrect password

    I've set up a microsoft exchange email on my iphone, and it worked great for a few hours, but now it keeps popping up and telling me I have the wrong password. I haven't changed the password and I entered the same one in my phone that I use to log in via computer. I am 100% certain I've entered the right password. Is there something I can do to fix this?

    What you are getting might be different. An *Incorrect Password* message on a POP3 account means that either a session did not complete or another computer is accessing the POP3 server. It is NOT an iPhone error or even a problem; that is what is supposed to happen.
    This should never occur on an IMAP or Exchange Activesync account, however, as these protocols were designed to support multiple clients accessing the same server. When POP3 was devised it was assumed that no one would ever receive email on more than one computer; the result is this and other annoying quirks.
    I have never seen that error on an Exchange account on the iPhone.

  • HT4528 Apple Id Password not working, even though I have reset it numerous times.  It says my password is invalid, but I know it is not.

    My apple id works when I log in on the computer, but not on my phone.  I cannot update my phone because it says my apple id is invalid, but it is not.

    What EXACTLY is the message you're getting? If it says that ID can't be used to activate the phone, you have to use the same iCloud ID you had previously used to set up Find my iPhone. It's called Activation Lock. It's an anti-theft feature.
