Somebody tried to access my account on iPad

Google alerted me that somebody from Columbia tried to access my account. I followed instructions on tighter security. Same day I received email that was also sent to all my contacts on iPhone. And then last night while playing Phase Friends somebody started a game that I don't invite. I have setting set for no random players. This is scary. Is somebody hacking my ipad?

Did you change the password in your gmail account I assume and now that's iPad will not accept it in the mail app? If that is what you did - try this. I'm not sure if this will work the same in way in gmail as it does in other accounts.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
Make sure that your username and password are correct in the account settings as well. Settings>Mail, contacts and calendars>gmail>Account>tap the blue arrow next to your email address and check the settings in the next window.

HT5622 I keep on getting emails asking me to reset my password when I haven't requested a password change. Is somebody trying to access my account as i've had 4 emails now in last 3 days?

If you use Mail.app, hover your cursor over any of the links in the emails you're receiving to see if they lead directly to an Apple-owned subdomain, like so...
If the links in the email(s) you received are exactly like this, then it's possible there's an issue with your account that you should probably follow up on. If they don't look like exactly like this, then these are phishes, and you can post screenshots of those links here so that someone from Apple can follow up on them. (Best not to click on these!)

What does this have to do with Apple or any iDevice?
Contact whomever the email provider is and correct the login credential issue.

The iPhoto library is also installed on the cloud drive and I am trying to import the pictures via a wireless networked MacBook Pro me865b/a running the latest version of osx.
There's your problem. Simply, as you are discovering, iPhoto cannot have the Library on a network and the Library must be on a drive formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
So, on your local HD or on an external HD attached directly to your Mac by USB, Firewrire, Thunderbolt, and
formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

The last 3 or 4 times I have tried to access my account, it has told me it has been deactivated and I have to reset each time, or give credit card info again. Why is this happening and how do I stop it?

You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.

If there is a problem with your account or payment info, you cannot
download anything (including free apps or updates) until the matter
is resolved.
In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted.

I don't know why you can't access it, but if you were a MobileMe subscriber with the free extra storage this has now been removed and your account will have reverted to 5GB.

Trying To Access My Account Settings?

I have two accounts - when I try to access my account settings - Tools - Account Settings - Window for account
settings: But, when I click on any of the choices (including my name) I get the following: "Account Wizard -
An Account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name." When I switch profiles and go into my wifes account I am able to access her account settings with no problem.
The rest of my Thunderbird account is working normally.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm having what appears to be the same problem. All Google Mail accounts can be edited without problems, one that is Office365 shows a problem.
From the Thunderbird main window, right click on the afflicted email account in the account tree and select 'Settings' the Account Settings dialog is displayed. From here if OK is clicked, with or without any changes, or if any of the other dialog panes are selected ( Server Settings, Copies & Folders etc.) then Thunderbird dislpays an error box 'Account Wizard' with the message 'An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name.'
As far as I can recall previously everything worked fine with this email account, and mostly still does - I can still receive and send emails with it - only the settings page is now broken apparently since the recent update.
This is happening on Ubuntu 12.04LTS and Thunderbird 31.0.

HT1689 I changed my Apple Account ID on an authorized PC and have made several downloads using the new ID. However when I tried to access my account using my iPad, the pop-up still carry's the old ID. Ow do I synchronize the changes on my account with hte

Please help with information on how to change the account ID on the pop-up log on request page on my iPad? I changed my account ID in the iTunes Store using my authorized PC. Renewing subscriptions directly from my device may prove impossible if I cannot acces my apple account on my device except through my PC. What do I do to harmonize the new name on my PC and on the iPad?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

Getting error message when trying to access video on my iPad

Hi this is my first time on this site so bear with me if I do the wrong thing.
Here goes I have read through some of the answers to the question but mostly they seem to related to YouTube. My question relates to my iPad. I get an error message when trying to view a video which I synced from my macbook pro. The message reads "You do not have permission to access the requested resource" The question is how do I get permission. Has anyone got an answer would be much appreciated.

I tried to access my account to sync and it says it does not exists!

Well, actually, the title already said everything. I have tons of important bookmarks in my account and I can't access it, it says "Unknown account.". I know my password and the recovery key, also. I ever was able to do it, but, now, I can't! Also, if possible, after recovering it, I want to change the e-mail address... PLEASE, SAVE ME!
''(personal information removed by moderator. please see [[Forum rules and guidelines]] -m)''

I think I got it: I just installed an old version of Firefox and sync it like the old times. Now I'm gonna sync it in the new way. I hope this helps someone else with the same problem. Thank you, the-edmeister, for trying to help.
