The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect

I wish I could help, but I can only confirm I have the same problem. Hoping for a solution as well.

Sorry no solution here either... I'm in the same boat - I get the notification that the user name or password for "....@mac.com" is incorrect. Click on the settings button, verify the password and email - all is well. Go back to the mail program and bam - there is the message again.

Hi Guys,

I just called Apple Support - they have problem with iCloud, and that is the top priority for them to fix.

I am experiencing same error messages on my iPad and having hard time even getting online to iCloud.

Any updated info on this error? I'm still having the same issue on 10/16. Even spent awhile on the phone with Apple - no luck! I can't even access iCloud at this point.

Sam boat here on 17th. Was working sporadically yesterday, but hasn't worked at all today. Can send fine, but can't receive on my iPhone or iPad. Works fine in Mac mail though.

I had this problem too. I ultimately fixed it (I hope it stays fixed) by deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone and then re-adding it.

In a way I'm glad other people are reporting identical symptoms - "The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect" when it works on the Mac desktop and on icloud.com, and with the checkmarks coming up when you reenter the data. There's clearly a systematic problem and I will save my energy and pennies on the tacky 0844 number. It was too early to mock the BlackBerry users, apparently!

Unfortunately, that's not working for me. I've done it several times. Still having the same issue this morning. So 24 hours and counting now.

I am having the same problem also!

Having the same Problem.

In details:

- If i try to send a new mail, i got the "incorrect username or password"-popup on my iphone

- if i go to settings and re-enter the password, the verifying succeeds (there are 3 check marks)

- if i send an email to the address "foo@me.com" from another account, i get response with an user-unknown-message

- I can login via icloud.com and send mails.

- I can sync contacts, calendar (but no mail)

- I do not had a me.com/mac.com (mobileme) account before i activated icloud (the iphone asked me for a new me.com-address and i entered a new one (e.g. the foo@me.com))

- my apple-id is not the same like the me.com address (it is an email-address from a private domain)

- the me.com - address is marked as verified, if i open the apple-id-settings via the apple-site.

i also tryed several things (restart, delete and recreate the icloud-account etc.) but nothing worked for me

i hope that this is only a temporary issue... maybe it's due to the current overload-situation...

Still having this issue .... even went as far as resetting my iPad as a NEW iPad, added iCloud account ... still same result. Can send email from iCloud, can't receive ... and get password incorrect message.

Same here!

Same here. I still occasionally get the "Cannot get Mail - The user name or password for "iCloud" is incorrect" popup on my iPhone. It works most of the time throighout the day, but occasionally with this message. Irritating!

My iCloud is finally working! (yay)

Can't really say it's anything I did per se. I think Apple finally got their systems and servers working. I had re-set my Apple ID passwork several time (once even had the Apple folks do it!), but when I enterred that password from my iPhone and iPad, it wouldn't recognize it (though the password worked on my computer for iTunes).

Eventually, one of the times I re-set my password, it just worked across all my devices. I did re-set it on from iTunes on my computer, rather than via one of the i-devices.

Maybe I should have waited a week or so before getting the new phone! Oh well.
