Guys perhaps the following will help; once you get a code(it appears in older device) to type in your new device, you will need to type that code right after you type your password for the second time. For instance: my password is 'vertigo' ; as the second time you go, after you get the code(e.g 234167), you go as 'vertigo234167'. It the should be okay.

This is now the second time this has happened. I changed my Apple ID password on my other Apple device (iPad) and restarted my iPhone, then entered the new password on the phone, and it worked.


Last time, however, was a nightmare as all my password resets went to my iPhone, which wouldn't allow me in. Had to go to the Apple Store and talk to someone from their help line. She had one of the so-called geniuses switch the sim card in my phone with that of one of their extra phones, then reset the pw on my iPad, then reset it on their extra phone, and then restart my phone with the sim card back in place. Somewhere in all that, it got fixed. Tears and even a mall fire alarm later. This was incredibly frustrating.

Same problem. Haven't been able to update any apps. I did the restart, reset and reset all settings routine, and nothing changed. Still won't accept my apple id password in the iTunes store. By the way, it worked to sign in to this forum. Plus now I've got to retype in all the passwords for everything else. Oh, here's another thing, it works on this new iPhone5 with ios 7.1 to get my dot me email from iCloud but not to update a simple free app in the iTunes store. Highly annoying. I don't know where to turn. I've searched the help site on apply ID and iPhone.

I am having the same problem, went to the apple store they reset phone to factory settings and still it does not work. I only got my phone in July had it replaced due to another error and now problems again. I know the password is correct because it works when I login on a PC but not on my iphone. I wonder if it has anything to do with changing the password on my iphone originally. Did everyone else change password on their phone or on their PC (I have a windows PC) HELP!

I'm having the same issue and I'm SO frustrated. I can log into MyAppleID fine (as I did to make this post), but that same user/pass doesn't work with iTunes and my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 both won't update any apps. When I try to log in to iTunes on either device the login screen just pops back up again in an endless loop, yet I go to a PC and login to my account just fine. I've now reset my password at least 3 times, I've signed in/out and rebooted the devices countless times, and yes, I'm sure I'm entering the password correctly. It's just driving me nuts.
