Why must I keep changing my password?

For several months, I would receive a dialogue box when opening iTunes on my Mac. The box is asking for my appleID and password, which are being auto-filled but my password had been entered incorrectly. I'd have to enter my password and it would be fine. The night that I downloaded ios7 and iTunes 11.1, the auto-filled dialogue box apeard again and I had to change my password because it "had been entered incorrectly." I changed it....on my Mac, two iPhones, two iPads, one iPod touch, and two appleTVs. (Whew!) Also, several applications on the phones would individually prompt for the new password. Tonight, I opened iTunes on my Mac and the same dialoge box appeard. I entered the new passowrd from Septemer 18th, and I was again forced to change. Now I'll have to change the password on EVERY APPLE DEVICE AGAIN! Why is this happening? What can I do to make it stop? I don't want to be made afraid to open iTunes on my Mac for fear that I'll have to change my password over and over.
(I suspected perhaps there was a settings on my iTunes that caused it to always ask for my appleID and password, and that my Mac was auto-filling it incorreclty. But I can't seem to find a preference or a setting that appears as if it would cause that.)

I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

Every time I try to download from the apple store, I am told to verify my apple ID. I keep changing my password and still cannot get my download

How do I verify my apple ID so that I can download from the store.

You keep changing your Password? Have you done this from Settings > Store, tap your Apple ID, then sign out and sing in using the right ID and Password.

HT5622 why do i have to keep changing my password?

why do i have to keep resetting my password and my credit card info is gone

Apple will never require you to change your password. However, if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on the phone your IT administrator can require you to change your password.
Since you say your credit card information is gone also, it is likely that someone has hacked your account.

Keep changing my password for iCloud to verify my account?

Why do I have to keep changing my iCloud password for my iPhone to verify my account? That iMac doesn't have any trouble but my iPhone keeps losing the function of anything iCloud related. Changing the password seems to fix this but why do I have to keep doing it?
Thanks for any help.

Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Keep changing root password, keeps telling me password is wrong in terminal.

I used the migration tool to copy my documents over from my PC, but it created a separate user account. I want to move those files to my current account, but I don't have permission to access the folder unless I'm logged into that account (in which case I don't have access to the folder I want to move them to). I tried to change the folder permissions, but it said my root user password was incorrect. I changed it, got no error in doing so, and tried again. Still got the error. I found a thread with a similar problem (but not the same one) and followed the instructions in it. Still got the same error. How can I fix this?

In the title of this thread you list "keeps telling me password is wrong in terminal"???
When you open terminal have you tried the command, without the quotes "dsenableroot"? You must be logged in as a local admin to do this.
If you try this, terminal will ask you for your admin account password then you can enter a new password for root and verify the new password. Exit terminal Log out and log back in with username root and the password you put in for the root account when you were in terminal.
There is a definite problem, or actually a couple of problems, with the directory utility when trying to enable root from directory Utility / edit. Going the dsenableroot in terminal clears these problems out.

TS3988 I've downloaded the latest Apple iTunes software for my PC. Every time I try to log into iCloud, I'm told that my Apple ID is fine but iCloud won't accept it. Why? I've changed my password. Done everything possible.

Why won't iCloud accept my Apple (PC) ID/password?

Hello CarenzaRielle,
I know not being able to access your Apple ID can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:
Apple ID: If you forget your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Why does firefox keep changing things up with new versions?

It really bothers me that Firefox keeps changing things, namely the user interface with new versions. They move buttons around like the back / forward, and refresh button. If I don't have the latest version I get prompted to download it each time I open my web browser. Now with this latest update I got a good inch and a half at the top of my screen that should be gray but is transparent and shows my desktop background. Also, I like to right click and 'open link in new' tab a lot, I thought it used to be 'open link in new window' first than 'open link in new tab' second. They switched them around now I'm opening new windows instead of tabs from clicking the second option by habit. Its not that big of a deal but why keep changing it up when I'm comfortable with what I know.

You can use Themes or Personas to change the display of Firefox browser.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/themes/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/personas/
You can Middle-click a link using Mouse or use '''CTRL + Left-click''' shortkeys to open a link in a New Tab. See these articles:
* [[Mouse shortcuts]]
* [[Keyboard shortcuts]]
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but some of your Firefox Plugins are out-dated, so you need to Update them.
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins by visiting the following link:

Why does firefox keep changing colors?

Suddenly the Firefox background color keeps changing (blue, tan, gray) I would like to keep it one constant color. How/ why did this happen today when I changed nothing, and how do I fix this?

Are you using Firefox theme and choose Random theme option?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Why do you keep changing my customized settings?

When I make customized preferences to the Firefox Browser, you keep changing it to what you want instead of keeping the browser look to what I have selected. Why? I even went by the steps that you have provided on your website; but, you still keep changing it to what you want. I don't appreciate it. Thanks.

Why does iCal keep changing to colour of one of my calendars?

For some reason, every time I open my iCal the colour of my "work" calendar is changed from Green to pink(one of the create your own colours). I keep changing it back to green and it keeps going back to pink. I am incredibly frustrated.
Any suggestions?

Okay,
Kind of got a fix for this or at least it seems to have worked for me. *Knock on Wood*. It will take some time and patience.
I right clicked on my "Work" calendar and exported it to the desktop. Then imported it as a new calendar under a different name "0 - Work". (It may import it as "Work 2")
Now you have your original "Work" calendar, in the annoying pink colour, and a new "0 - Work" calendar.
Change the colour of this new calendar to whatever you like. Delete the original "Work" calendar and then wait about 10 minutes. This seems to allow the iCloud and whatever else to finish its "Updating".
Then rename "0 - Work" to just "Work". Again wait about 10 minutes. It's best not to sit there and watch as the updating processes will sometimes change it back to pink or bring back the original "Work" calendar before finally settling on your new changes.
In the end, or at least for me, things are back to normal. I have left it open for about a half hour, turned it on and off and no pink has reemerged.
Good luck!
