I have been unable to download apps to my new iPhone 5 because each time I try to buy my password is rejected as disabled. I have followed the advice in other postings but none work. Password has now been changed several times, each new password works well on my MacBook Pro but not on the iPhone. Any clues would be much appreciated.
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.2
Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your ID & new password.
No, still comes up with the message that password is disabled, any other ideas? All very frustrating.
But, you don't get that message on your computer when using iTunes to purchase anything, correct?
Correct - it's all most odd.
I'll change that last response. I just tried to download an update and on signing in immediately received the disabled message, hope that makes more sense.
OK, do this: Go back to Settings>iTunes/App Store & sign out...do not sign back in. Now, go to Settings>iCloud...see if you get a prompt to "Edit". If you do, change your password here. Tap Done. Now, go back to Settings>iTunes/App store & sign in. See if things work now. If you don't get the prompt to "Edit" when going to iCloud, scroll down & delete the account, then set it up again using the correct password.
Apple ID password disabled
