Why won't my iCloud let me sign in

after getting a new iPhone I wanted all my information transferred over but when I try to sign into my iCloud it says my password is incorrect even though I am positive it is correct. the at&t employee said it was probably because my Apple ID has a separate email from my iCloud account. if anyone can help me please do, this makes no sense to me.

Hi jacklana,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue logging into iCloud with your Apple ID. The article linked below provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting suggestions that'll resolve most issues like this.
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
I receive an “authentication failed” message when I try to sign in with my Apple ID during iCloud account setup on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click “Manage your Apple ID,” and try to sign in with your Apple ID. If you are unable to sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.
I hope this helps.
-Jason

I'd like to know who Marlene is....oh wait, it was a mixup.
I suspect these posts will be deleted.
It's every software company's answer to everything - upgrade to the latest version.
And for good reason, the bugs they know about get fixed, while introducing new ones. Not on purpose, of course, it just happens.

Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents??

Why won't my computer let me make changes to documents saved in pages and save them again? It keeps saying access denied when its my computer and I have Lion OS X

Right click the document and select 'get info'. Check the permissions for the file. If several of these files have the wrong permissions then you may need to repair user permissions. See this for instructions:

Windows media files are not natively supported - have you had a look in the app store to see if there are any apps that support WMV files ?

HT3819 why won't apple box let me use my apple ID to sign in?

Just moved my apple box from one room to another and I'm having problems when I try to sign in using my Apple ID.
I've tried changing the password on iforgot.apple.com multiple times and it STILL won't let me sign in.
what the ****!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Why won't Garage band let you open more than one project a time..

Why won't Garageband let you open more than one project a time???? If thats the way its is set up...that is really lame. Even the worst audio programs allow you to run a few projects at a time.
I recorded a gig the other night... then I dumped the whole set on to one track. When I wanted to copy and paste individual songs into their own project it made me close the current project. Is there a way around this???
Joe

Heh, heh. Yes, this is true. Alas... BUT, if you want to compare one project with another, it can be done.
There is another advantage to making another copy of GarageBand. I created a copy and call it "GarageSymphony" that contains all my instrument specific icons for orchestral packs. This way I do not mess up the GarageBand application.
I would not be surprised to find multiple windows become available in GB4. I was more than pleased to find this change in iMovie 6.

Why won't my iCloud sign in?

After I properly use my Apple I.D. and password, I get this following message..
errorcom.apple,appleaccount.error.403
So, what does this mean and why is this keeping me from using the iCloud function of my phone? And of course, how do I resolve this bug!!!

Mudmessiah;
Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

Why won't my iCloud stop upgrading?

SInce installing IOS 8 on my iphone & ipad, my icloud won't stop upgrading. I tried to sign out but the message said my documents & data would be deleted from the device. Please help!

Try backing up and restoring from backup

Why won't my iCloud back up?

I have iCloud on my phone and I wanted to back my phone up before I upgraded to the iOS 6. Everytime I go to back it up, it tells me that same thing everytime saying, "Not enough storage. Manage your storage in settings" But I've deleted over 500 photos, deleted useless apps so that I have more space but its still telling me the same thing. If I just upgraded to the iOS 6 without backing up iCloud, will all my photos that I haven't deleted and all my contacts and apps still be there?

First thing you want to make sure is that you are connected to wifi...icloud won't work if your iphone isn't connected to wifi..second you wan to check your icloud setting...go it setting then icloud (make sure your signed in), then click storage and backup at the bottom...on this page at the top you want to make sure you have storage...then you you want to back sure icloud back up is turned on (option is about mid way of page) once you do that at the bottom in blue you will see backup now click that

Why won't Ovi Store let me download any programs -...

I have an E71 and just updated the firmware. As moving settings over messed my wifi up last time, I opted to do this manually and reinstall all my programs - I set aside a few hours last night to get this done.
Ovi Store is widely known to have serious design flaws. The main being it does offer a direct download of the .sisx files on the PC version, only a text message with a link - which goes without saying is a terrible way of receiving files.
Last time I used the PC version my text messages showed up several days later - and this time none have appeared yet, as expected.
So I used the phones built-in Ovi Store, which does the job.
However, after just about installing all my programs I checked out the 'settings' in Ovi Store and saw that the default was for them to be stored on the memory card, which fundamental logic dictates is wrong - they go on the phone memory because it is faster.
Why is the default for programs to be stored somewhere no sensible, intelligent person would store them?
As there does not appear to be any semblance of a functional file system on the E71 (certainly not something capable of showing which memory various applications are saved to, or the option of being able to move them from the memory card back to the phone) I decided formatting the card would be the most sensible option.
I did this, lost a bunch of my apps that were on the memory card and went over to the Ovi store on my phone to re-download them.
It now has these apps greyed out as if they are still installed - which they are not!
I then went on my PC - and of course the website might as well not exist, because Nokia don't send me SMS messages for a few days, if at all.
I really don't know what I've done to deserve this. I've purchased two E71s, Nokia drive AND the traffic updates (which are now free) in the last 18 months - and all Nokia do is work as hard as they can to punish me, ruin my phone experience and force me onto the new Windows 7 phone that I am almost certain to order on release.
There is no coincidence about the degree of deliberately compromising hardware/software decisions I've complained about on this forum, Nokia never sending me programs I want via SMS but happily filling my SMS and email inbox with marketing - and waiting until I paid up for my Maps before making it free and now this.
It is clear that Nokia do NOT want me to enjoy their phone and buy an E72 soon - and instead want me to go with Windows 7. They have put great time, resources and effort into forcing me into this decision.
- Why does Ovi store online not have the manual download function that any sensible, reasonable human would demand?
- Why does the second-rate, third-world SMS download function not bother sending the link for several days?
- Why does the Ovi software install programs somewhere that no human with the slightest comprehension of IT skills would advocate installing them?
- Why does the Ovi software not let me re-install programs from the built-in store that are no longer on my phone?
I will be the last of my friends who have returned various phones such as the disasterous N97 and permamently moved to different phone manufacturers when my contract ends this summer.

1. Actually, any sensible intelligent person would store the programs on the memory card. Not doing so would mean that he has less knowledge of the phone. If any of the programs come into conflict with other programs causing certain problems like restarts general hangs, and unable to start the phone, if this app is on the phone memory, it would be hell of a problem. You can change it if you want. Your choice. Also I keep too many apps for them to be stored on phone memory. Python, Java 2.0, Flash Lite, MS Silverlight for Symbian and Ovi Maps already take up too much space to leave enough for buffer.
2. There is an application manager on the E71. Also, AFAIK the application manager also shows which memory the app is stored in (a little memory card icon beside apps in memory card). It should be in Menu>Tools>Manager
3. The apps are greyed out because you did not uninstall them properly. On the phone memory, where the Oinstallation logs are saved, there is no log of the apps being uninstalled, so Ovi Suite sees them as installed.
FOr the questions in bold:
1. This is done through a firefox plugin. We do not know why, but I suspect its with distribution rights and to make sure that only Nokia phones can access several apps that are exclusive for Nokia users only. For example, Gameloft and Polarbit gave away several paid games for free to Nokia users. If the apps were downloadable in sis files, the game manufacturers would not earn from Sony users who can get the files for their Satio for free through Nokia sites.
2. Not really sure. There are times I receive the SMS instantaneously, sometimes I receive them a few hours late.
3. False. In fact as I already stated above, it is more advisable to install apps in memory card as opposed to phone memory.
4. Also already explained above.
