Why can't I access iCloud after resetting the password?

For months now I have not been able to access my MAC email thru Mail from our MacBook Air. After not bothering for a while (have other things to do like most of us) I have reset it again and same problem. I can access it from any (!!) other computer including the iPads, iMac and even my shielded Windows based work computer using MS Explorer... If I try to use Safari to log into the Cloud from the MB Air I also can not get in from the MB Air despite being able to from any other computer.
Can anyone help with this? I would be most grateful as this is more than odd...
P.S. I have deleted the account and tried to add it again using the new password.

OK, no responses (normally quite quick and helpful), could mean this is a unique failure or user error. I have just spent half a day trying to fix and searching on the internet for solutions but see nothing that works. I am close to ditching the Mail and Mac related email system if I can not resolve in the next 2 days or so. This is a big change so if anyone out there knows why this MB Air laptop does nto allow us to log in whereas other computers (Macs and otherwsise do) I would greatly appreciate your advice. I am sure this is an authentication issue but the cause is becoming irrelevant.
Many thanks!

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you are using Snow Leopard, read "Resetting your original administrator account password" > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 You have to start from the Mac OS X Snow Leopard disc, so you need an external optical drive or another Mac or PC to use Remote Install Mac OS X

>> Using brtools you won't be able to change the password for database users like SYS and SYSTEM.
Are you sure about this? I am sorry but it is not correct. You are able to change these passwords by using brtools

Can't login to iCloud email, even after resetting the password via iForget. No access in the iCloud website nor in Apple Mail...

Hi all,
can't find the solution for this, have already resetted the password via iforget. iCloud site accepts my password but then gives me an error while trying to access my email. In Apple Mail, after updating the password, it still tells me that it is wrong.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Even your problem aroused more than six months ago, let me mention that I am facing similar problem (created another thread where I asked about), I also called Applecare, and they told me I had to wait since aparently the issue was a "server side" issue. What concerns me is the case was "closed" & I am still facing the problem since this morning (case 331263318 )

Why can't I open a document with the password

why can't I open a document with the said right password!!!! !

Hi Anthony,
What problem are you facing in opening the document? Is there any error message?
I would recommend you to try again and as passwords are case sensitive so please make sure that you type the password in exactly same case sequence as you did when you set the password.

Why can't I access iCloud from Snow Leopard?

I find it hard to believe that with all the loyalty that I've shown Apple through the years - literally thousands and thousands of dollars that I can't access iCloud through my iMac because it's not compatible with Lion. Is this true? Is there a work-around other than having to buy a newer Mac?

Your machine (by computer standards) is pretty old so even though it doesn't have the ability to be upgraded to Lion is still capable and can continue to be used for what you originally bought it for. In your case it's time to upgrade computers if you think iCloud is something you really need.
Why I understand your frustration just about everything moves forward so if you want to stay current you have to too. You can't really get angry with Apple (or any anything else for that matter) for wanting to move forward because old hardware that was never designed for newer software is left behind. My iMac while it's 5 years old still works fine for what I bought it for however I know Mountain Lion may be the limit it can support and I too will be forced to upgrade. Just progress, nothing more and nothing less.

HT4623 Why can't I access itunes after ios7 update?

I can't access itunes after updating to ios7 on an iphone 4s?

This is could be due to the cookie settings update that was made with iOS7.
Try the following:
1) Kill the iTunes App (if running in background)
2) Goto Settings/Safari/Block Cookies
3) Select 'Never' or 'From Third Parties and advertisers'
4) Launch iTunes App again
See if that addresses the issue.

Why can't i access iCloud now i have changed my email address?

My email was hacked nand blocked so had to change my email address.. So i had to change my apple id as well. However, now i have done that it won't let me access my icloud as it keeps telling me to enter a password for my OLD email address, and it won't let me change it to my new one. I have some VERY important notes backed up onto icloud that I need, but now can't get them. (One was the security key for my iMac..) Is there any way i can get all my documents etc/iCloud back??

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Why can't I connect to my airport extreme(4th gen.) after reseting the password

Why can't I access iCloud from my wife's iPad?

We got the new iPad and we set it up so everything syncs with my wife's iCloud account. But it won't let me access icloud via the browser. Is there a way tor me to add an appointment in the calendar without having to get up and go to my computer?

I would understand your argument, only if allowing safari to access icloud was causing any problems to how IpAd is running (like playing flash content). But it is not.
Maybe I am missing something, but Apple shouldn't be the one dictating how I should be using my device. If I wanna share my device, I should be able ot share my device. I remember paying $500 for it, so actually, it is not up to Apple anymore... it is up to whether my wife feels like sharing it. Further, If you were stranded in the middle of nowwhere, you would like to be able to take my smartphone and access your email account to find a friend's number, right? That's just an example but there are many occasions that I, you, and pretty much anyone would share a personal device. Apple is re-writing the rules and people are just rehashing whatever rationale Apple provides.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please, feel free to share it.
Thank you.

Why can't I access any files on the other computers

I am currently having trouble retrieving files from other local computers within my area that have Airport cards installed on them (as well as this computer I am currently using, which has the base). While it shows that I have a good connection between the computers on the network, I am unable to access any files from said computers externally, only the local servers show up. Is there any way to remedy this?

"Offive" in the user dictionary and I can't remove it even after reset the dictionary

Hi all,
I found that I have a word "Offive" in my user dictionary.
I tried to remove it by resetting the keyboard / dictionary; however, the word "Offive" is still there immediately after I reset the dictionary.
I searched for the word "Offive" in my contacts and calendars. And, there are no such occurence.
Interesting, the word "Offive" only appears in my iPhone; I have an iPad2, but the word "offive" isn't shown in the iPad at all.
Do you know how iOS user dictionary added this word "Offive" automatically?
When I typed "Offibe", iOS would automatically change it to "Offive" and then informed it's a misspell and I then changed it to "office" by clicking the word "Offive". This is clumsy.
Thanks,
Ting Pong

It wouldn't have been added automatically. Words are added to the dictionary when you decline autocorrect suggestions. You just have typed "offive" and then tapped the '"x" to decline the autocorrect suggestion "office" at some point, probably by mistake.
