Why is my Android device telling me incorrect password and email when I know it isn't??!

I have set up sync on my primary PC with my email and password and when I try to sync with my Android phone and tablet, it keeps telling me it's an incorrect name and password and I know it isn't.
Any ideas?
PS, New sync system using email and password.
Thanks, whoever can help me.....

Thanks, guigs. That didn't work? Well, to be honest, I wasn't quite sure what we were trying to accomplish. I made sure it wasn't synced to the (deprecated) account, then tried to sync through the regular sync menu, but got the same message; incorrect login and password.....ARGH!! No authentication warning or anything.
Good news, though, I got it to work. I simply unlinked my PC from the sync menu, and resigned up with an alias email. Then, once it confirmed it, I went to my android and it took that one with the password. SOOOOO weird??
So, anyway, all resolved and I can now sync across my devices, but not a great solution if you don't have alias emails that you will need to remember to use in the future.

Why do I continue to receive an "incorrect password" immediately after resetting it?

Be more specific. Do you mean after changing an email password, it says you have an 'Incorrect Password', or something else. My scenario is correct, than it's just the way Apple works.

I cannot receive messages from iphones since I got a new android device. did the change apple I'd password and whatnot...it still isn't working. what do I do?

Lets take first issue first: Apple does not charge a customer to 'keep' iPad access. That does not happen at apple. If you were billed and charged that amount of money from someone you were speaking to over the phone, you were not talking with Apple support. If you need to speak with apple support you are free to call them at 800MYAPPLE and they will talk to you for no more money than 19.00/ support event.

I'm sorry you have this happen to you - that being charged fraudulently for a non rendered service.
Good luck to you Friend.

PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME

PROBLEMS SETTING UP EMAILS AS DEVICE REFUSES TO RECOGNISE PASSWORD AND/OR USER NAME
My 9800 ( I have 2 - one spare ) is driving me nuts- will not let me set up email accounts from my other Curve model.
Repeatedly told that either user name or details are wrong, yet they are RIGHT on website.
Exasperated
Help please??
Fair winds and kind landfalls

Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers.
Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies) All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc.
Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches. This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)
Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again. How nuts is that?
Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
Kind wishes from West of Scotland

May be you have turned the DO NO DISTURB in your iphone settings.
Check as below DND settings
Settings>>Do Not Disturb
If you are iPhone is on version iOS 5.X there was a bug which does not let the DO NOT DISTURB function properly.
SO, its better you to latest iOS version 7.0.4, no other versions of iOS are signed by APPLE hence forth.

I hope there is a solution to this problem note that I can not use the iPad now

Your question makes no sense and I'm not sure if you typed very quickly and autocorrect went nuts on you, or if you are not a native English speaker and Google Translate didn't work properly. If you are saying that you forgot the passcode to unlock the iPad, follow the instructions here.

Why when I try to put in my Apple ID it comes up as incorrect when I know it isn't. Finally changed my password which was accepted. However, when I tried to log in again it came up with the same comment. Getting fed up with having to change passwords.

Why when I try to log in using my Apple ID that it comes up as incorrect even though I know it isn't. After several attempts I was asked to select a new password after correctly answering required security questions my new password was excepted. Guess what, when I tried to log in again using new password I received the same message telling me my ID/Password again was incorrect. I have only had this IPad a few months & this is the 3 rd time I have been forced to change the password. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanking you
Janice

It sounds like you have a a password-protected PDF. The password was set by the person who encoded it.

I have both Apple and Android devices. My Android devices will not stay connected to wireless . I have the Airport Express. The Android devices are a Galaxy S4 and Tab 3. These both worked perfectly on my ancient Linksys WRT 120 N wireless router.

I have called Apple support twice and no one can confrm or deny as to whether Android devices can connect with the Airport Express. I have had the it configured 3 times so far and my Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 are useless with the Airport Express.

BTW what did you mean by using my old wireless router as a AP?
Every Wireless router ever made is actually made of two components..
A router and a wireless AP. (AP = Access Point).
To use any wireless router as a AP you simply bypass or turn off the router..
In an Apple router this is called Bridge mode..
In many routers it is known as AP or WAP mode.
But often they do not have the option..
Set it up manually.. we call this WAN bypass as it will bypass the router.
So what you do is open your wireless router setup page in your browser.. go to the LAN setup page.
You need to do two things.
1. Turn off the dhcp server.
2. Set the LAN IP to match the main router..
For instance if your plug it into your apple router and it is at the default IP.. 10.0.1.1 then set the Linksys to 10.0.1.254
The Linksys is then updated.. Plug the ethernet cable from LAN port apple router to LAN port WRT120 (not WAN)
Now with a computer plugged into the apple router or into the Linksys .. by ethernet.. open the IP address you just set.. go to the wireless tab in the setup and give the wireless SSID a suitable name for your other (non-apple) products.. voila.. you have now turned a wireless router into an AP.

Why does my Apple ID always say incorrect passwords recently changed my

i recently changed my password for Apple and now it says incorrect password all the time how can I fix this ?

If you've changed your password then you may need to log out the account on your iPad by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it

HT1212 ipod touch disabled due to too many incorrect password attempts - problem is I know the password

My daughter's ipod touch is locked due to too many incorrect password attempts (thanks to her little brother). It is displaying the red bar that states ipod is disabled connect to itunes. Problem is we don't have the computer that the ipod was originally synced with and she doesn't want to reset the ipod. In this instance we know the password.. so is there anyway to get the ipod to ask us one more time to enter the password? I'm not sure how many incorrect attempts were made, but it doesn't state anything about try again in so many minutes.. help, please!

No. Start with the last paragraph of:
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
Disabled Recovery-must use syncing computer.

IMessage keeps telling me my password is wrong when i reset it, how do i get back onto iMessage?

How can i get back on? It keeps telling me my password or login ID is wrong when they're really not.

Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given.

HT1695 changed broadband providers when I type in Wireless Security Key (WPA) on my Ipod it comes up as Incorrect password and I cannot log in

I have changed broadband providers - when I type in their Wireless Security Key (WPA) into my Ipod it comes up - INCORRECT PASSWORD - I know it is case sensitive I am putting in numbers and capitals but does not work. Is there another Password I should be using ???

I have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion thinking that it might solve the problem but it hasn't worked.
It's possible your current os has different keychain troubleshooting solutions. Try re-posting (copy paste) over in the OS X Mountain Lion forum area and do a Knowledge Base search.
Have you tried setting up a new account to see if your issue appears there? If you have Apple Care, give them a call or take your computer to the nearest Apple Store or an AASP as you are still under warranty.
