Why can't I log in immediately after resetting my password? (using the new password)

Hi,
I can't find the proper forum for this so I'm posting it here.
It is a problem with logging in to this very support board.
It's not your basic "I lost my password" problem.
I have an Apple ID. I try to log in and it says "wrong username or password" (even though the same username-password combination will log me in to iTunes).
So I go through the process of restting my password, aswering security questions, which I do successfully and I reset my password. Then I go to log-in to the support boards, with my new just-changed password, and it comes up with the same response "wrong username or password".
Over and over again. So in order to even seek any assistance, I need to make a whole new profile just to ask the question on this support board.
I thought that apple ids and their passwords worked across all apple programs. As I said, the Apple ID/password combination that I use for iTunes will be rejected on the support boards, and even the ID/password combination that I've just reset will not allow me access to the support boards.
Any help please?
Thanks,
Phelps

Why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Why can't I save changes I made to a photo using the zoom feature?

why can't I save changes I made to photo that I use the zoom feature. I zoom in and set it the way I want but when I click done it reverts the photo back to it's original size.

When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.

Just got the iPad mini. Why can't I view my Facebook profile? (I'm using the Facebook app) I can open my News Feed but when I go to my page, it comes out with a notice "page doesn't exist, or you don't have permission to view this page" HELP!

It's frustrating to not be able to view my own Facebook page using the iPad mini. I have the iPad 1 and the Facebook app works fine there, I can see my personal FB page with 1. Is this characteristic of the iPad mini only?

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If none of those work, delete the app and install it again.

Why can't I download from my GO PRO sd card using the lightening connector?

I bought the lightening SD card adapter thinking I could use my iPad to store films and still pics from my GoPro Hero 3 SD card to fr space when on holiday....
When I plug it in with the SD card from my normal camera it works fine but when I use the GoPro SD it says it can't import. Is there an app or something others use?
Cheers

There appears to be no published SD card size limit, but in this forum and other forums, users report that SD cards are limited to 32GB.

Why can't I find/access my recent downloads and imessage with the new IOS software update?

I just recently updated my phone to the new IOS 7 software. I had to do this using my computer. It updated ok but now when I try to find apps that I downloaded (from the computer again) I am unable to locate them. I did find one app that was downloaded but when I click install nothing seems to be happening. I have turned the phone off and on several times hoping it would reset but nothing. I am also unable to access imessage for some reason. Help!!!

You can't update your iPad past iOS 5.1.1
Many iPad 1 owners reported slow downs with iOS 5.
Under the Settings app, General category under About, how much storage capacity does your iPad have left?
You could try a hard restart or reset by holding down the sleep/on-off button and home button simultaneously.
Once the screen goes black, wait about two seconds, then let both buttons go.
See if this changes anything.
Good Luck!

Why can't I sync my safari bookmarks to my iPad with the new iTunes?

Why can't i down load a movie from I-tunes using the 3 g wireless network? I have no wi-fi at home power is out.

I need help with downloading movies without having a wi fi connection, during this recent snow storm in CT we have lost power to our house, so no WI FI. I would like to use the 3 G network but it doesn't work to down load I-tune rented movies? I don't understand this. This is why I bought the IPAD to watch movies away from home, or in the home if the pwr goes out.

There is a 20 meg download limit per file over 3G - if the film is larger than that (and unless it's a very short film it most likely will be) then you will need access to a wifi network.

Ignore the continued pop ups by using 'cancel'.
Try to purchase a free item. If you are successful then you are logged in to your account.

Why can't I log onto my itunes store? I enter the correct password and it brings me back to the screen as if I was not logged in without any error message. If I enter an incorrect password it says so. I just received a replacement 4s iphone

I just received a replacement iphone (4s with ios7) but whenever I try to log into my itunes store, after I enter my password, it acts as if I never logged in. If I enter an incorrect password it tells me so, but no error message at all when I enter the correct password - nothing happens. My itunes is up to date.

Have you tried going to Settings>iTunes and App Stores (or just Store) and signing out and then signing in again?

TS2446 Why is my account still disabled even after resetting my password?

I have not been on my account for awhile but when I did I had forgotten my ID and password info. When I recovered it from a note I found, I reset the password but was still unable to buy music and dowload. When I went to dowload a song, it said my account was disable and to contact support.

If you haven't already done so then you can contact iTunes Support via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Why can't we have "show cookies" menu be a button in the new drop down menu on FF29 ?

I see the new Firefox 29 has a drop down menu in the upper right corner, with various shortcut symbols. One of them is "preferences", but I would like to make that to be have an even shorter shortcut to "show cookies", instead of having it buried in several clicks as in the old versions of FF.

# Install Cookie Manager Button and restart Firefox if prompted.
#* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cookie-manager-button/
# Right-click (or Ctrl+click) an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Cookies button from the palette onto the menu panel on the right.
