I can’t log into my Apple ID. I have the right password because I just reset it but when I try to log in it disappears and then I press sign in again and it does the same thing.

If you've changed the account's password you've logged out and are trying to log in by entering both the id and new password : What to do after you change your Apple ID or password - Apple Support ? If you are, what are you are using, and what happens ?

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! I had the same problem basically my MAC computer refused to log into iTunes or iCloud because it didn't believe it was me even after repeatedly putting in the correct password and changing the password. It kept sending verification codes to my iPhone but not giving me a place to plug them into my computer for iTunes or iCloud.


What finally worked was I plugged in my new password (ABC) and the verification code (123) right after it ABC123. this at least made one of the iTunes windows stop angrily popping up. I then went to my toolbar at the top Apple>System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud>password. then I plugged in my new password (ABC). It then asked for my verification code and PRESTO!!! it finally worked and logged me into all the iCloud related systems on my MAC.


if this doesn't quite work for you try also Apple>System Preferences>iCloud>Account Details and plug in your password there as well and then maybe it will log you in.


basically, it is super frustrating and I wish that iTunes would have just let me plug in my stupid verification code and I wouldn't have been in this mess in the first place. Because I am positive I was always plugging in my correct password, it just refused to accept it because it couldn't verify my identity.

Hi there,


I contacted with Apple Support about this problem, then they gave me some solutions and i followed THEIR step by step including updade my iphone version up to date and restored my iphone with back up data. It did not work. I still had the same problem.


After 2 weeks, finally they found out my problem and they said that my data was unsuitable with my iphone, so I 'd better restore my iphone without back up data that meant i would accept to loose all my data. I set up as a new iphone and it worked.


It is a great way if you coppy your photos or something important to you via your laptop. :D


i DONT know whether it works for your case or not! Just give it try and good luck! :D

It seems like I started to have problems when I upgraded to Mojave. I finally got it to work once when I signed out, closed iTunes and then reopened and signed back in. However, the next time I opened up my Mac, it wouldn't connect to the iTunes store again and now it won't let me sign in. I know I am using the correct ID and password (it is the same one that I used to sign into Commununites to write this comment and I can sign in to other things for Apple). I'm thinking I'm going to have to upgrade to Catalina and see if Apple music will work for me.

New iPhone 11 can't sign into apple id. The password is correct as I can log into iCloud on my PC with the same credentials that I'm using on the new phone. Also, it seems to take if I sign in under settings>iTunes and App Store>sign in. But under Update Apple ID settings>continue it says updating Apple ID settings with the spinning wheel above it, then it disappears and I'm back at continue in an endless loop.

I can’t log into my Apple ID. I have the right password because I just reset it but when I try to log in it disappears and then I press sign in again and it does the same thing.
