Password for imessage on my imac not working
I went on vacation for a week. The imac was turned off. I turned it one today. Everything works except for imessage and facetime. I was asked for the appleID passwords for both and entered them in but they failed. The AppleID password worked fine for iTunes. I changed it anyway. Message and Facetime still do not work. Nor does the new password work on my ipads anymore. ***?
Apple reports no problem for Messages

On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?
Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

My iMessage for my Macbook Air is not working. I have updated everything. My system is running on OS X Yosemite Version 10.10. When I go to send a message, it says no delivered with a next to it. I have tried serval different options on trying to get it to work to include logging out of iCloud and checking my date and time and updating FlashPlayer. I have done about everything I can think of. Any help would be greatly appreciate!
Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread. -

Help i have an old ipod touch today the wifi seems to be not working... I've been typing the correct password for my network but it doesnt work!
If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

HT5395 Is there a way to set a password for iMessage?
Is there a way to set a password for iMessage on computer instead of it logging in automatically? Other people use my computer and I do not want them to have access to my imessages.
ThanksHi,
It would be best if you set them up with their own Mac User account and changed your Login password.
You could use the Sign Out button each time you closed the app.
This would still show the Apple ID next time the app was started and if this is a common Apple ID they could Sign in again.
You could open Keychain Access and remove the Auth Token but this would also be recreated when they started Messages and re-signed in the iMessages account.
With the AIM, Jabber and Yahoo Accounts it is possible not to enter the password when creating the account and Unticking the "Save this Password to the Keychain" each time you sign those accounts in.
Much less possible with the iMessages account.

IMessage and push notifications not working after installing iOS 7!!
My iMessages and push notifications don't work after installing iOS7..!!! I can't even log in to iMessages using my Apple ID.. And every time I log into Facebook or whatsapp it keeps telling me to connect to iTunes to receive push notifications..!!
I connected to iTunes on my comp and tried resetting my phone.. Nothing works!! HELPIts stuffed, iMessage and facetime are both sitting on "waiting for activation" so they are not working, 1 post suggested resetting the phone again setting up as a new phone and then turning iMessage and Facetime on and then restoring. After the reset iMessage and Facetime started working, I did the restore and it stopped working again. Nice waste of 2 hours.

My iMessage and facetime is not working after updating to ios 7...
Any answers on how to fix it? I've tried to restart, restore connected to itunes, but nothing.ACTIVATING FACETIME AND IMESSAGES
Activating Facetime and Imessages on your phone requires the ability to send SMS messages and depending upon where you are that might be an international SMS. Check with your carrier to see if your plan supports sending of international SMS messages. If you are having trouble activating Facetime or Imessages turn them both off on your device and reset the device (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost)). Wait for the device to restart and wait a minute and turn Facetime and imessage back on and wait for activation. If that does not fix things read the following articles:

I have an iphon 4 got the new ios 7 and I need to redo my icloud but I dont have the password for it and apple does not have the infromation form the old account what should I do to turn off find my iphone
To to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud ID. A new password will be sent to the associated email address.
It this doesn't work, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. -
my icloud account keeps telling me that my user name or password for icloud is incorrect but it works for downloading apps etc and joining this forum
Accessing the itunes store and joining this forum are different accounts than an icloud account, so it's not necessarily true that your ID for icloud is the same as for itunes.
Did you set up an icloud account?
To create a new icloud account, go to

I've become increasingly frustrated with the ipad adobe app. I've subscribed to be able to convert my pdf files into word documents and it has yet to work I've paid for a service that does not work which in turn makes me a disgruntled customer to say the least very disappointed with such horrible service
Which service did you subscribe to? Adobe PDF Pack?
Once I know the service that you subscribed to, I can move this post to the right forum so that you can get in touch with the folks who can assist you.
