My 3GS will not accept my correct password and user name to start using the Cloud. It just spins while "verifying."

My 3GS will not accept my correct password and user name to start using the Cloud. It just spins while "verifying." How can I make it stop so I can activate iCloud ?

try using @me.com instead of your service address, i mean hotmail or yahoo or else, thanks.

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

I cloud will not accept my apple id and password on my laptop. I have changed the password twice trying to make it work. What to do now?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out. Any ideas?

I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
All devices are running the current versions of everything.

Iphone will not accept my gmail password

My phone and my mail was working fine until about 3am yesterday. Now it suddenly says my name and password are wrong. imap.gmail.com- says it is incorrect.
1) I try to enter the password again, it still says it is wrong.
2) I went on my computer to use gmail- it lets me in using my password.
3) I updated the software to 5IOS, thinking there was a glitch-the phone was restored in the proceess. After the update, it still does not accept my password.
4) I changed my password on my computer. Iphone still does not accept the new password.
5) I deleted the account, then put it back in with the password, says it will not accept it- so now I have no email account on my phone.
6) I turned off the phone and turned it on again.
None of these things worked, clearly. What am I doing wrong and why did my iphone suddenly decide it did not like my password?

One possibility is that if you have Gmail 2-step verification enabled, you need to use an application-specific password in Mail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

HT4097 I did a reset on my iPad now it will not accept my pass ode and I'm locked out what can I do

I did a restore on my iPad I was trying to take a screen shot but did something wrong I was following a manual app anyway it turned out I preformed a reset by pushing the off button and front control button together as a result it re set it self and now it won't accept my passcode and I'm locked out what can I do can't get to apple shop as on holiday in austria

If you can't unlock the device because it will not accept the passcode, there is only one thing you can do.
You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
Instructions can be found here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
You may have to use recovery mode if that didn't work.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
BUT .... Just for the heck of it, reboot the device before you resort to restoring and see if ithe passcode will work.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Asking for iCloud account name and password to play iTunes radio when I have done it in the past many times without this question. Will not accept my apple id and password. Will not save my changed password. Where do I start?

I have a MAC with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.2, 8GB, 2.7 GHz, intel core i5. Until 2 days ago, I could click on iTunes radio, pick my station and listen. Then 2 days ago, I do this and system asks for my iCloud account id and password. Does not recognize apple id or password. I change the password, does not save it. Screen that lists 2 step verification asks for added security questions, I do those and still will not allow me access. What do I do and where do I start? I thought I should download the update to OS X. I did that, still no change. Please help direct me to where I need to go to fix this problem.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

Lock screen will not accept password on iPhone and iPad.

I have an iPhone 4S and an iPad Mini that I use with corporate eMail which has enforced use of the lock screen with a secure password. Occasionally (it feels like at once every day) when I go to unlock my iphone or ipad after the timeout has brought the lock screen up it will not let me enter the password.
The soft keyboard appears and the keys appear response to my touch however no letters appear in the password box. I have to power off and restart before entering the password.
It's driving me nuts, always happens when I'm in a rush. Any thoughts on what I can do to prevent it?

Hello kennyred,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
Best of luck,
Mario

HT201320 my ipad will not accept my email information and will not work

I add all my email information in the same way as all other devices but my ipad and iphone will not allow me to set up my email account

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Apple TV will not accept my Apple ID and/or password

I cannot get Apple TV to accept my Apple ID and/or password. I reset the password and verified that I have the correct user name but still no luck. Any advice?

I finally went to General/Reset/Reset All Settings Before I could get it to work. *****. I blame the latest update, but that's just because I have no other significant event on which to place the blame.
Use case when mine got hosed; in case Apple is reading: was watching a rented movie. Paused it for an extended period of time (helping wife with groceries). While I was away it went to screensaver and eventually went to sleep. Upon return, I hit menu to bring it back to life and was greeted with the authentication error. Bah!

Time Machine Will Not Work - Onyx Broke it and I Can't Fix It!

Background
The external drive is a western digital my book 500 GB drive(black with round button on front) connected with fire wire, with three partitions, 200/200/what ever is left. One has super duper bootable clone/time machine/extra store space. I am using about 80GB of 320GB on my internal.
I used onxy utility on my old TiBook with good results so last week I though oh let me down load that and use it on my new MBP. I run the utility and the next day notice that TM is not working(Onyx has been uninstalled and should have a big warning this will F-U TM). Try to figure it out no luck, call support the guy points out he did a search and there are a bunch of people who say onyx broke their TM. The TM buddy message was along the lines of deep traversal needed and the UUID don't match. I run disk repair and do the regular stuff still no luck.
After reviewing the trouble shooting guide above and trying some of the fixes with out results, I decide to erase the partition as I only have a few weeks of data on there and I keep a super duper backup twice a week on another partition.
Now that I am trying to start it new the problem seems to be that the backup hangs after evaluating between 1.5 and 3.5 GB it makes not further progress after hours. Example, I tried a new backup this morning its hung at 1.64GB, I will check at lunch time and it will probably still be there.
Things I have tried and reviewed
All drives internal/external formated correctly
All external drives added to spotlight privacy
Trashed time machine preference file and restarted (twice!)
Checked to see if there is a firmware update for external drive and I don't think there is
I think this is from my try this morning, I need to double check...

My frustration level has been rising since I noticed this on Saturday and have not been able to resolve it or make any progress, your help is appreciated.

No. You're jumping to conclusions. Many folks (including me) have run OnyX for a long time with no ill effects on TM.
Try to figure it out no luck, call support the guy points out he did a search and there are a bunch of people who say onyx broke their TM.
What "support guy?" There are no such posts in this forum.
The TM buddy message was along the lines of deep traversal needed and the UUID don't match. I run disk repair and do the regular stuff still no luck.
Those are completely normal in some situations, such as your first backup, and the first backup after installing an OSX update. The "deep traversal" does mean there will be a long "preparing" phase.
After reviewing the trouble shooting guide above and trying some of the fixes with out results, I decide to erase the partition
That means you will continue to get the UUID and +deep traversal+ messages, and lengthy preparing phase, until TM can complete a backup.
All drives internal/external formated correctly
Double-check this, via the instructions in item #C1 of the Troubleshooting tip. Please post the results.
All external drives added to spotlight privacy
And excluded from any anti-virus scanning?
Checked to see if there is a firmware update for external drive and I don't think there is
They have released some fairly recently, and have fixed some similar problems. It's probably worth your time to double-check to be sure.

As you see in item #D2 of the Troubleshooting tip, this can indicate a problem with the drive, or communicating with it. Have you tried all the other things in item #D2?
Also, there are some recent reports that seem to indicate a couple of other possibilities:
Reduced WIFI power when running on battery, since the 10.5.8 update. Are you running on utility power or battery power when this happens?
Some sort of conflict with Mozy version 1.4.0. So far, this appears to be related only to wireless backups, but if you're running Mozy, it might be worth investigating.
You might also want to use the Console app (in your Applications/Utilities folder) to see if there are other messages indicating a conflict with your backups.
When it starts, click +Show Log List+ in the toolbar, then navigate in the sidebar that opens up to your system.log and select it. Navigate to the +Starting standard backup+ message that you noted above, then see what follows that might indicate some sort of *error, failure, throttling respawn, termination, exit,* etc. (many of the messages there are info for developers, etc.). If in doubt post (a reasonable amount of) the log here.
Finally, how old is your disk drive? They do fail, sometimes sooner rather than later, and often exhibit just this sort of behavior.

HT202874 Mail will not accept my gmail account

I am unable to set up my gmail account in mail.

What happens when you try to set the account up?

My new iPhone 6 will not accept my gmail password.

Everything else has transferred beautifully. Gmail is working fine on my MacBook Pro. I can send and receive emails to/from myself. I panicked and tried several old passwords--has it locked me out for a time?

One possibility is that if you have Gmail 2-step verification enabled, you need to use an application-specific password in Mail: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

HT3529 I have upgraded to iOS7 and now can not get my iMessage to activate. It will not accept my Apple ID and I have tried a new password and restarting my phone but it will not activate. How do I fix this?

I can not use iMessage or blue tooth since the upgrade to iOS7. My Apple ID is not being accepted, even with a restart and a password change. I am not receiving texts from others who are sending as an iMessage. How do I fix this?

IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.
