iCloud "User name or password is incorrect."

Try resetting your Apple ID password.

Apple - My Apple ID

Ok I had this same problem and I fixed mine so I think I figured it out. What I did is I went into Settings---->iCloud and then deleted my account. Once I did that I went back into settings and created a new account by logging in with my old AppleID (Which was the one I wanted in the first place which is the one I use for store etc...) and then I backed everything up and now everything is in sync and works fine with the RIGHT Apple ID that I wanted and I get no incorrect user name or password incorrect message anymore.... Hope this helps...

Thank you Ryan! I've been on my pc and iphone all day trying to resolve this one! Greatly appreciated!

Thanks Ryan, it help me figure it out! But to delete de iCloud account, I had to go to Settings---->Mail, Contacts, Calendars then to Settings---->iCloud to Sign-In again. It worked 🙂

Hi Ryan, Thank you for your post. It solved my problem, too.

To add to Scotts comment I had a similar problem on my iPod Touch. The problem was due to MobileMe still being enable. Going to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendar and removing my MobileMe account did the trick. Cheers

Similar to Rico's solution, and less painful than RyanCerni's, this works:

Go to Settings → Mail, Contacts, Calendars → iCloud. Scroll down in the settings for the iCloud mail account, and touch "Delete Account."

Then go back to Settings → iCloud and try again!

@Paul,

I tried that, as well as all the other suggested fixes, but still to no avail - for some reason it just keeps coming up with the same error - even though I have logged in with both my original Apple/iTunes ID and the newer iCloud details online without a hitch.

I'm still searching for a solution to my prob that works....

Thanks for the suggestion, so far so good.

Thanks for the help!

I had the same problem but deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone did not solve the problem.

The solution was to try to log in here to the Apple Support Communities and finding out that the password for my Apple ID had expired (even though it worked in iTunes Store, App Store on the iPhone and Mac App Store).

I created a new password and after that it worked!

FYI. After updating iCloud recently released, I was able to login without issue and so far so good. I didn't call tech support, turn anything on or off, etc. I updated iTunes and iCloud on my system and I'm golden.

Ryan, when you deleted your iCloud account, did it delete all your photos on your device too? I have a new Apple ID and password and was having a terrible time with my IPhone and IPad not picking it up. I finally got the new Apple ID in my IPhone and IPad and thought I had everything fixed. Tonight I went into iCloud and it still has my old Apple ID and password and when I clicked on Edit to change the info it would not let me change the Apple ID, only the password. I was just going to delete the iCloud account and redo it with my new Apple ID and password; however, when I clicked on Delete Account it brought up a warning box that said that deleting the account would cause iCloud to delete my photos on my device so I cancelled it. You said you deleted your iCloud account and started a new one. Did it delete all your photos off your device? I am afraid to do it now because I just got finished restoring all my information on my IPad because Apple support had me restore it to factory settings and I had to redo everything on my IPad including my photos because I did not have the photos in a folder on my PC for backup and I still do not have them in a folder so I sure do not want to redo all those photos once again. Do you see any way around this?
