Password not recognized on Mac (2011); can't update app

I downloaded a security update last night [2015-02], then went back to update iMovie, but ended up pausing that download -- I planned to finish it today.  But now I am asked to enter my password for the app store and it tells me it is incorrect [status_code_error].  The password is correct [in fact, I just logged in to create this account for posting questions]. Any suggestions?  Mac is 2011 vintage, is not a Pro. 

The Mac App Store is down: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

  • 2 Q's  Ipod not Recognized in Windows and Can't Update Itouch, Please Help

    Hi all,
    I recently got an Ipod Itouch as a gift and my Dell Inspirion 6000 doesn't recognize it. I can only eject it thru Itunes. Please help. My next issue is that I can't update my Itouch. The error message I get is Itunes can't contact the Ipod software update server because you are not connected to the internet. I am connected thru AOL. Please help. Thanks

  • I want to buy IPHONE as present but the person does not use a MAC , how can u update software without using MAC

    Any tips on how to do the above , thanks

    You do not need a MAC.  Why do you thing this is true.
    Do they have a  PC?
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access6
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • ID and password not recognized

    I have an iCloud account and everything was super until two days ago. I, by mistake, deleted the user Library directory so the Mac said "An error occourred. You can't log in" or something like that. I re-installed lion and now, when I try to log in in the iCloud "tab" on System Preferences, the Mac says "ID or Password not recognized, try to log in after a whiile" or also "You're already logged in" or "I cant' send a new verification mail, there's a problem with the server".
    With my iPhone end with the other installation of lion on an other HDD (but also on www.icloud.com) everythig is ok.
    I have two HDD: an SSD where I put system files and in the other there is my home directory. I use symbolik link in order to have the user library on the SSD. I think I messed up with permission because I use my old home directory with this new user (for example I need the password just to delete a file from the "Download" directory...)
    Sorry for my bad english and the long post...
    Thank you everyone!

  • Wifi password not recognized

    hi,
    I'm really going crazy with my iphone.
    since a software update last week, my wifi connection at home is not working anymore.
    I've tried everything described on the support side and things I found here in the forum, as
    1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other network
    2. Enter the name of the network you are trying to log onto
    3. Tap Security and tell the iPod what type of security the network is using
    4. Tap Password and enter the network password
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    If this still doesn't work, reset your network settings (tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings and try the steps above again once the iPhone restarts.
    TRIED - PASSWORD NOT RECOGNIZED
    my router at home is from linksys...
    as I said, until last week, it worked properly without any problems...
    now, the iphone only finds my wifi and asks for the password and after typing it I always geht the info, that network connection failed...
    I have no ideas anymore what I can do and would highly appreciate your help

    Have you experienced a problem connecting to any other wi-fi networks that you have access to since installing firmware update 3.0?
    If not, have you checked Linksys's website to see if a firmware update is available for your wireless router model that you haven't installed?
    Have you tried re-setting your wireless router? If not, disconnect any computer(s) from your wireless network - turn wi-fi access off or power your computer(s) off. Turn your wireless router off followed by turning your modem off. Wait a few minutes followed by reversing this. Power your modem back on allowing it to completely reset followed by powering your wireless router back on allowing it to completely reset with the modem. This one may be a long shot, but you never know.

  • HT202274 Password change old password not recognized after 10.9.5 upgrade

    God bless you, peace.
    macbook pro 2012 user password not recognized after 10.9.4 too 10.9.5 upgrade plus tech work at apple.
    I want to change user password, it is allowing me to get into user account and admin account on computer but I recently changed it for the tech work to be done. I would like to put the password back now to old password or a new one but... The few days old new password pre update and pre tech work is not being accepted to allow me to change to another password.
    recent update, after 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 update and apple tech work done.
    1. Tech work replaced optical drive,
    2. 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 upgrade left computer endlessly booting up, then got into finder window tried to read backup drive and screen went to black curser and could not backup information as techs decided may need to be done before I left it with them.
    3. Also track pad was not (is not again) selecting text to drag unless real hard press and then only intermittently would select text or just drop the selection (not hold the selected text after a long scroll select, did work at first after tech work but back to not working). It is still not responding easily when pressed, but it is much better, as they did something with software they said. Today While typing this I am trying to select words misspelled and it does not select them unless I press not as hard it is becoming the same as before I see now, sometimes less pressure is needed but more than should be used.
    I noticed today after tech work The Spell check is not responding with a two finger tap on the red underlined misspelled words without multiple try's with two finger tap. The curser moves around after selecting words also, or when selecting words so hard the curser moves to another place not on the desired words or check box. The curser arrow tip should select the word but it does not recognize unless I put the tail of the arrow onto the word then it recognizes the misspelled word for spell check on two finger gesture.
    It looks like I need to take it back, I tried to call and check to confirm if the track pad intermittently and curser adjustment was serviced. In order to verify I had called three times to get that information to no avail. endless looped in the phone que, one would answer take info and then forward me to a endless loop dial ing phone that never was picked up, supposedly at the Bay street store tech section. Phone voice mail from apple support status on the repair, ...Juliano from Bay Street Apple repair store Emeryville, ca left a voice message... just generically said optical drive replacement is successfulI, I noticed right away three items were to be addressed but only the optical drive was mentioned, so I called three times to try and verify the other problems. One whole minute just to select this text and copy it to notes for a backup. It would not select at first, then after selected it would not copy it, then it would not paste to notes, it paste the last cut and paste I did 10 minutes ago.
    I do not have a easy excellent wifi connection for my wifi only phone and would prefer email or chat for repair help. apple Repair No: R142180337

    Try running the combo update. It fixes more files/data than the App Store upgrade.
