apple id password rejected after upgrade to IOS 8

Hi,

I seem to be having issues of logging into my iCloud account with my Apple ID on devices upgraded to IOS 8. I'm experiencing this issue on both my 32 gig IPad Air and my IPhone 5? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Note: I was able to log in using a Windows PC, have tried rebooting the IPad with same results?


Thank you for any assistance.

Lance

I just got off the phone with Apple. The tech had me Reset All Network Settings, and it seems to work for now. He said the next step would be to Reset All Settings, if I'm still having issues. The weird thing for me at least, is sometimes it works and seems to log in fine, then I'll pick up my phone and keep getting a pop-up that is asking for my iCloud password. But for now, it seems to be working again. YMMV

"iPhone is disabled" Good job Apple. Seeing how many people have posted to here there are probably a thousand more for each of us here who are having the same problem. Makes our iphones useless if we can't log in. Clearly we all know our Apple passwords or we wouldn't be able to post here. How could I even update my phone with the bug fix if it is disabled and I can't use it? Android anyone?

after installing iOS 8 I have not been able to add a new app or use icloud... every attempt rejects my password for my apple id which I have reset multiple times. I've also reset the network connection and it didn't fix the problem. Clearly my ID works or I would be able to log in here to gripe. I am frustrated enough to want to put my iPad on the shelf and wait a week and see if Apple fixes this problem.

Was having the same issue. This worked for me:

Go into settings - iCloud

scroll down to Sign Out and confirm, you will gat a message all data will be removed from device, choose sign out.

The data will be removed form the device, but is still on iCloud

After signing out, go back in and provide the new account info, it should confirm and your new email address will appear.


Hope this works for others.

On my brand new iPad, I restored a backup from a previous iPad and when trying to log in to iCloud it said the password was wrong, time efter time. Even if I pasted in the same password that worked for the same Apple-ID in the App Store, on the very same iPad. (The same password also worked for the same Apple-ID on my Mac). Tried changing password, rebooting, etc - nothing worked.


My solution:

I finally went to Settings/iCloud and clicked on the Apple-ID name. I got a prompt saying that the user conditions had changed, asking me to accept.


After accepting, I went back to Mail and pasted in the very same password (that was still in memory) and it worked directly - problem solved!
