I switched from Windows to Mac in the last month. Overall it's been a pretty miserable experience - mostly with Apple operations and support. Today has been one of the worst. My Macbook threw errors saying that my password was incorrect. Same for my iPad and iPhone. This is nuts because nothing has changed.

I changed my password using their password change system. Then it threw the incorrect password message again. So I changed it again. Then a third time!!!

I'm getting sick of Apple. Nice hardware. OS is decent. I've been on hold for at least 40 minutes now and still waiting. The company's operations and service are horrible!

Is anyone else having problems with Apple?

Thanks,

Dan.

The account you are having issues with is the iCloud account that is shared across all the devices. I recommend using a local account on your Mac and NOT using your iCloud account to sign in.

Once you are in, you can then go to System Preferences and sign into iCloud to get access to all of its facilities.

The issue you are having with the password not quite reseting is something others have reported as well.

But is the password sticking the 3rd time? Also, you might want to try changing the password on a different device, wait for a bit and then confirm that it took.

Apple had system issues today, affecting just about all iCloud functions. As of now, it's still having problems:

I had apple id servers issues earlier, but it appears to be working now.

Apparently they're still having problems. It shows some systems are up but others like iCloud sign in remain down.
