  • HT202213 Does Itunes home sharing have the potential to lock you out for accidently putting in the wrong information?

    I am trying to log into my homesharing network under another users name and password that I know is correct. After several attempts I realized I had a "," where a "." should have been. Now that I have fixed that, I still seem to be getting errors about having the wrong info put in. Does the system lock you out for a certain period of time if you attempt it wrong too many times?

    Me too I have the same problem as MicheleP57!!!! What can I do???

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • TS2446 What if it locked me out because I attempted my security qestions too many times?

    Im so frustrated! I forgot my security questions, it told me to try and acsess them on my AppleID and then it locked me out!

    1. See my User Tip for some help: Some Solutions for Resetting Forgotten Security Questions: Apple Support Communities.
    2. Here are two different but direct methods:
    Send Apple an email request for help at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us
    Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service
    3. For other queries about Apple ID see Frequently asked questions about Apple ID.

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to my iMac iCloud acct. because it locked me out after several attempts to enter the password. Said to reset ID/password. I did, didn't fix the problem.

    My iMac, early 2008 24", operating system Yosemite; I tried to fix a communication problem between Apple devices on iCloud. I have iCloud and iCloud Drive. The problem is with iCloud. I attempted to enter my password but apparently too many times. I received the following message: You can’t sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons. It then directed me to iforgot.apple.com to change password/ID. I did, completed the process but it did not release the security lock out from the iCloud in my Preferences. I did this at least five times. Please identify a way to unlock the security system so I can now enter iCloud on my iMac.

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

  • Ipad frozen in voiceover mode. will not accept my passcode and has locked me out for one hour. help?

    while watching movie, it failed to download remainder. I had turned  it off to try to reset and then ended up freezing in Voiceover mode. It's  not acceping my passcode either and I'm wondering if it reset to factory passcode. Have it hooked to my laptop and it doesn't seem to want to open there either (though maybe because it's locked). I am backed up to iCloud but how do I get it to unlock???

    Try triple-click Home button (must be quick)

  • I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again.  Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes".  I am unsure how to do this.  I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

    Hi,
    Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again.  Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes.  On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again.  This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod.  Please help.

    If your phone is disabled from entering the wrong passcode too many times you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Locked out-too many attempts

    Hey, my main Skype account with all my contacts is locked. It has usually auto signs in, but for some reason didn;t today....I had forgotten the email associated with it, and now that I know which email, it won't let me get a password reset due to trying too many times.
    User [Redacted for privacy], thanks.

    That is almost the same issue that I am having, I just got done talking to live support and they suggested i changed my microsoft password, I changed it but it still says i am locked out due to too many attempts. I had forgotten my password after trying it at least 3 times, I changed my password and tried it again and it locked me out. I am using skype through the windows 8 store, and I am able to access it just fine on my other computer account but unable to go in it on this one.
