MacBook Pro won't recognize my Apple ID password

The password is valid on my phone and iPad. My MacBookPro will not recognize it.

to login to a Mac, you need the Mac login password, which is different from your Apple-id and password.


Your apple-id password will NOT get you logged in to a Mac routinely, but can be used (ONLY when internet connection is available) on an emergency basis.

I am absolutely using the correct username and password.

As I said, they work on my iPhone and iPad. I can see the MacBookPro on my account through the iPad and the iPhone. I just can’t login through the MacBook Pro to sync the data in the Applications. Specifically the iTunes library and email.
