Username or password not correct

I am trying to update apps on my iTouch but it will not accept my password which I know is correct. My password is 12 digit, but when I see it on the id information on my iTouch it only has 7 or 8 dots, not 12. Reset the password on my Apple ID and everything works except the iTouch. Any ideas

Same thing happened to me. My son's iPod touch suddenly started indicating that my "username or PW had changed" or was "incorrect" so I paid Apple $30 to find out that all that was required was updating the software by plugging his iPod into my computer and syncing with iTunes. My problem was then solved. FYI this latest version of iPod software wouldn't let me download or install until I temporarily disabled my firewall and antivirus program. Good luck!

HT201320 when i feed all details in mail like username and password than i click on sign-in option it shows your username and password incoreect but username and password is correct?

i did not able to use mail. i go to add account and where i am given all the details correct like username and paasword but after i click on sign-in option it shows your username and password is incorrect...

You only think the username and password are correct; when you create an account the phone asks your mail provider to validate the username and password, and if it fails you get that message.
You know that you must enter a username and password twice, once for incoming and once for outgoing mail?

Password not correct

I am trying to set up a Jabber account. I know for a fact that the username and password are correct, but it keeps saying that they are not. I've changed the username, deleted the iChat plists, and deleted the keychains for the account. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
iChat allows you to choose to add one of five types of Names.
iChat > Preferences > Accounts > + Button
A slide out/pop up screen appears.
In the middle of this is a Drop down to choose between the three AIM Valid options of AIM, @Mac.com and MobileMe above the line and Jabber of GoogleTalk below the line.
Did you choose Jabber ?
Do you have a another Jabber Client (App) that can login into a Jabber server and does the name work there ?
If So when it has been added to iChat and you go to the Server Settings does it list the Jabber Server you are using as the Server ?
If it lists Auto Discovery for port and Server try it with that off and then try port 5223 with SSL Enabled and 5222 with SSL Off.
If you are using a Google ID from GoogleMail (@Gmail.com or @googlemail.com) you should add it as a GoogleTalk ID in iChat otherwise it will mistakenly pull the gmail.com (or googlemail.com) through as the server.
Other Google IDs that you can get without liking to their Mail Service have Gmail.com as the server but login on port 443.
If you are having issues and think a .plist needs deleting only delete the com.apple.Jabber.plist one
You can use this Users tip to Check the Passwords
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607493
You will have to use another app to log the Screen Name in to check it as most Jabber Servers to not have Web Page Registration/Login options.
It is late where I am and I may not reply for several hours.

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iPhoto by email but get an error message "combinations of username and password not recognised" I use the same details to log on to my Sky Mail (yahoo mail ) account . Any ideas?

For the 1st time I am trying to send an iphoto by e-mail but get the error message " combination of username and password not recognised by the server" I use Sky Mail ( yahoo mail) and input the same username and password that I access Sky Mail - have retried many times. Predictably the Sky help desk have no idea. Can anyone help please?

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Gmail Error: Username and Password Not Accepted?

Okay, once in a while my e-mail actually works on my I phone but about 90% of the time I get this notification; Cannot Get Mail: Username and password not accepted. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it? Oh yeah, I'm using 1.0.2, gmail, and I'm positive my password and username is right.

I think the problem is solved. Last night I was on my friends computer and I accidentally stored my gmail password. I couldn't figure out how to delete it so I changed my password and then updated my iPhone with the new password. Ever since then I haven't had any problems.

Hi . username and password not save in firefox 7.0.1 . please fix it.

This is why I'm losing my patience with Firefox. Every few weeks there's another update; which usually auto installs without asking permission. Then I have to go around and find and fix those things that worked in the previous version. Can't you guys do like Apple does and notify us that there's an update, tell us what the changes are and let us decide whether or not we can download and use it? Until this is fixed, I have gone back to version 6.0 and will stay there (unless it auto updates) until you guys get a better way to communicate. If nothing happens, I will go look for another browser...not IE...maybe Chrome or some other.

Usernames and passwords not saved

I have followed all of the suggestions and usernames and passwords are not saved. This feature did work until I install Firefox 4 and still with Firefox 5.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

Hey Horse farm,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending mail on your iPad. The following resource may provide a solution, specifically deleting and re-adding the account:

Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage,follow these troubleshooting steps.
          - Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
                    1. Try a different Wi-Fi connection
                    2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fiand turn off Wi-Fi.
                    3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
3. Restart your iOS device.
4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
          - Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
          - Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
          - Add your account again.

IPhone/iTouch "password not correct" on home WiFi

This problem reads like many others threads but I haven't really seen an answer - Do Apple Employees Administrate these forums??
I have an iTouch and an iPhone 3Gs both now on os4 but this prob has happened through last 3 firmware versions.
They both connect to the home WiFi, but wont remain connected and will ask for the WiFi Password followed by a Password Not Correct message. You can continue to input the password and occasionally it is accepted or you can power cycle the router but both are temp fixes as the Apple's will drop back off again (sometimes minutes later or hours later). I have exhausted my efforts with the router (firmware upgrades and every combination of security setting) Other devices (laptop, wii etc)don't have any WiFi issues. In saying that, the iPhone stays connected to the work WiFi no problems.
I have tried WEP and WPA security. I've enabled MAC Address filtering which didn't help but after reading one of the threads I have disabled WiFi security and have MAC Address filtering enabled and it seems to be holding up (only attempted a couple of hours ago.) Is this a secure workaround or does someone know what I need to do? I'd prefer not to use this method as it's handy to let visiting friends/family use my WiFi.
The router is a Linksys WRT54GP2 and the signal level is high throughout the house and always seen by the Apple's
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
The iPad purchase is next if I can get an answer (a mate has brought his around and had the same problem) - so come on Apple employees, put your heads together!

Yeah you aren't the only one. I have the same router, and my iPod, dads iPhone, and 2 other apple macbooks always had troubles with the router. A temp fix would be restarting the router, but keyword here is temp.
Unfortuantely we cant use custom linux firmware as per http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
My router firmware version is
Firmware Version: 1.30.05
I recall I upgraded from version 1.00 ages back but that did nothing.
Anyway I shall try google around for more solutions, I'll get back to you if there is a fix.

You have to configure Gmail to allow access to less secure apps. Thunderbird uses the IMAP-protocol, but Google thinks it isn't safe enough.
Go to your browser and login to Gmail. Now click on your profile picture and click Account. Go to the Security tab and click on Settings for Access for less secure apps under Account Permissions. Enable it and Thunderbird should have access to your email...
BTW This is totally safe. There's no need to scratch behind your ear about changing this setting

Apple ID username, password not correct for imessenger ios 6

i just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and imessenger is fine to send and receive but when i go to settings and try to register it with my apple ID i get an error that the username and password are not correct, although i am usung the apple ID fine in app store for example. anyone knows what this is?
also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

Hi again, well I can't answer that question, because my computer IS asking for my apple ID and password to install Rosetta Stone. I would have appreciated you taking the time to help me, if you had had any advice for me. Since I posted this, I have found the answer so I don't need your time anymore, however. I eventually went to my settings and SET a password, which solved the problem. I recently reset my computer and all my records had been wiped- I was unaware that my computer settings had deleted my old password which had been saved on it- not realizing that its data would be seperate from the other numerous places I have used it the past week since I got it back. An answer that would seem like a no-brainer, but since it hadn't needed to be done until then for any other previous installs since the reset, it appeared last on my to-do list.

Lpadmin - request for username and password - not responding correctly

Recently updated to a new computer and 10.5.7.
A printer was paused (somehow). Tried to resume printing and got a request for an lpadmin administrator user name and password. Mine is the only account on this computer. Put in my user name and password, but this was rejected. If I tried 3 times I was told to try later (and given my password hint). However, after clicking OK to this dialogue the action WAS taken.
Same thing happened when I tried to add a printer. It will not accept my username and password, but if I persist until I get the message to try again later, the printer WAS added.
So, I am back to having a printer, but this seems like a bug.

Configuration could not be verified - My username and password are correct!

I am trying to add a second gmail account to Thunderbird, but without success. The first addition went flawlessly.
Now that I'm attempting the second, I am confronted with the error message "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"
Answer = no. I have verified them by logging into gmail.com with IE several times, and made sure to log out afterwards to ensure no conflict. I do not use two-step verification with either accounts. I have tried to 'fool' google's email servers by capitalizing the outgoing SMTP letters (so as to differentiate from the previous login smtp letters), but thunderbird does not permit capitalization.
I have not found any other *solved* forum posts that can help me with this problem. I'm running Windows 8.1 and Thunderbird 31.2.0.
This is a call for help.

Same problem for me, too. It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac. Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account. I've downloaded three new apps with no problem. But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1. In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.
