Password in my Yahoo Acct is incorrect. How do I change it.

On my iPad (original) the password in my Yahoo Email Acct is incorrect. How do I know??? Here is the procedure I took: Went to "Settings" / "Mail,Contacts,Calendars" / "Yahoo Acct" / "Account".... Name/Address is correct. Password should have 7 dots, but on iPad it shows 8. When I log into Yahoo on my computer, I use the 7 dot password and it works fine. I receive my Gmail fine, but have not received any Yahoo mail since purchasing my iPad in May of this year....... How do I correct/change it.......Thanx for your help beforehand........ 8)

I just don't understand why the new password is not being saved - and obviously neither do you. This is a copy and paste from the iPad iOS4.3 user guide.
You can sync email account settings from Mail on a Mac, and from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 or Microsoft Outlook Express on a PC. Account settings are only transferred from your computer to iPad. Changes you make to an email account on iPad don’t affect the account on your computer.
Note: The password for your Yahoo! email account isn’t saved on your computer, so it can’t be synced and must be entered on iPad. In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” tap your Yahoo! account, and enter the password.
This is where the info came from

Syncing the account from your computer isn't going to work either apparently according to the info from the user guide.
The only other things I can think to do would be to change the password on the server (webmail) and start all over again with a new password on your computer and on the iPad - or download the Yahoo mail app and try that.

Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?

Hi Francessco,
If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???

There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

Apps and music are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you don't want to continue to get that message, delete the apps and purchase them again with your new Apple ID.

open a new tab, it shows a Yahoo Search page. How do I change this?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

ID pop up when trying to use updates is incorrect how do I change it

ID pop up when trying to use updates is incorrect how do I change it

Hi Susanna,
The ID that is showing when you try to do updates is the ID that was used to purchase the apps. Apps are forever tied to the ID that they were purchased with.
Did you have an old Apple ID that you purchased them with? Or did someone else purchase them?
Cheers,

I have changed my apple email address and icloud is asking me to sign in under my old email then saying my password is incorrect how can i change it pls

I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Change Apple ID. I changed my Apple ID email to a new one but iCloud continues to prompt me for a password with my old email address. How do I change that? It won't let me even delete or access iCloud without a password for the old Apple ID.

When I got the iPhone about 4 weeks ago, I used an email for the apple ID and set it all up. Then I changed my Apple ID but now iCloud constantly prompts me with my old apple ID. How do I change this? I cannot make any changes to all the things I downloaded with the old Apple ID. I just updated my software to iOS7. I'm not sure if that changes anything (I am very new to the iPhone)

I had this problem for a while but i finally found a way that worked for me.
My old icloud account asked me for the password that i didnt have. And my old email was not registered as a valid appleid.
So i created a new apple id with my old email and a new password. Signed in no problems and then i could finally delete the old icloud account and sign in with my real one.
Hope this works for you

Apple ID in App Store incorrect - How do I change it?

Since updating the new iPhone OS this morning, the Apple ID my phone is using in the App Store is wrong. It is now using my mother's Apple ID (we use the same computer as a backup). How do I change it so that it uses my Apple ID and password in the app store again?

In settings - store - it actually lists the email address that I want, but the bubble that pops up in the app store is asking for the wrong address.

I have an app that am trying to download an update...But my old apple id keeps coming up and is no longer active and it asks for the password to proceed for the update. how do i change this to my current apple id?

I have an old app game that am trying to update, but my old apple id keep coming up and i no longer use that id . how do i change that id so i can update this app? Is it because that app was purchased under that old id?

Apps will always be tied to the account from which it is purchased and will always have to updated suing that account.

Ical alarm default email is incorrect, how do I change it to match "my card" in address book.

When I create a new event in Ical the default email that appears in the ical alarm drop down menu is incorrect. I have changed My Card in Address Book to match my new email address but ical still wants to use the old email address. I have also completely deleted the old email account from Mail too. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

If you've updated the account to have the correct email email address on the other devices tap on the old id id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version of the account so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

HT4113 My Iphone is locked and the passcode I'm using is being reported by the Iphone as incorrect, how can I change the password?

my nephew was playing a practical joke on me and changed my passcode for my Iphone. Unfortunately, the joke backfired cause he misspelled the passcode when typing it in and now we can't open my iphone. Is there anyway to fix this? I have an icloud account if that is an option.

You may be able to restore your iPhone by connecting it to iTunes. If iTunes prompts you for the passcode, then you'll have to wipe your iPhone and restore it to factory settings. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212.
