Apple tv does not accept apple id and password

I can sign into itunes fine with my apple ID and password, however the apple tv does not recognise it. I would rather not change my password as this would mean changing countless email addresses. Apple support said they knew how to fix it but it would cost £25.00 which I think is a rip off.

Are you by any chance using an iPhone app to control the AppleTV? Try using the remote which came with the AppleTV instead. I read a thread yesterday where people using an app couldn't log into Netflix until they discovered that they needed to add a space to the end of the password (when using the app). The same might be true for the Apple ID.

  • APP Store does not accepted my id and password

    we open an account, follow every single step and we try to download applications, but apple store doesn't accept the id or password

    Go to id.apple.com.  Click on Manage Apple ID.  Type in your Apple ID & password. 
    If it works there, then you're typing it incorrectly on your device. 
    If it doesn't work there, then you're using the wrong password.  Change it at iforgot.apple.com.

  • Apple TV does not appear in preferences and therefore I cannot sync. Help!!

    Apple TV does not appear in devices and does not appear in preferences. I can access my music libary between ATV and Itunes.
    What am I doing wrong? I will have no hair left shortly!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The Apple TV 2 shouldn't appear in devices or in preferences and you cannot sync content to the Apple TV 2, all those things relate to the Apple TV 1 only.

  • HT203983 my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    my apple id does not accept my payment method. why? i am using that same visa card the last 5 years!

    there may be several reasons why your credit card may be declined by the iTunes store ,
    the reason the iTunes store require c.card when you setup your apple id is for verification purposes
    if you have called the iTunes store in the past about unrecognised charges, or unauthorised activity ,
    then your bank may have blocked your card from being used on the iTunes store, i would recommend contacting your banking institute

  • HT204053 I have made an Apple ID 10 months ago...But when I use it I get a message that says your Apple ID does not exist in iTunes and also Application Store...

    I am living in Iran...I have made an apple ID about 10 months ago to use free Apps available in ITunes and Application Store...But I always get a message which says your Apple ID does not exist in iTunes and Application Store...Please guide me how to use iTunes and Application Store for downloading free Apps and music...

    It sounds like you haven't yet setup iCloud with that account and you need to do that on a Mac or iOS device.  Once setup, you can enable iCloud on a PC, but it needs to be setup first.
    See Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    Which says in part:
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

  • I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

    I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11.  Each time that I adjust these times, the application does not accept the change, and instead automatically enters its own time. Is there a work around this? Or am I doing something wrong? Please Help!
    Thank you,
    lagrl

    Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider.  iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
    Does this help.  Perhaps you already know this ?

  • JMS Adapter (for DI) does not allow passing username and password to JMS connection

    Post Author: PLed76
    CA Forum: Data Integration
    JMS Adapter (for DI) does not allow passing username and password to JMS connection. It has those fields only for MSMQ. Our Production environment does not allow us to connect to JMS (we use Tibco EMS) anonymously, so it prevents us from use of Data Integrator. Is there any way to pass those params, or obtain the correct version of JMS Adapter, or obtain source codes of the JMS Adapter so we can correct them ourselves (we can send you the corrected sources back) ? Thanks in advance for any help. (PL)ed76 Renaissance Capital

    Bump - Were having the same issue.
    Has anyone found a way to connect to Tibco with a user/pwd?
    Version 14.0.297.

  • My mac is not accepting my name and password for login because it is in arabic how am i suppose to login?

    my mac is not accepting my name and password for login because it is in arabic how am i suppose to login? how do i type Mark Yap in arabic, im typing it in pressing the actual letters on the keyboard but wint accept  it?

    I am assuming that you are trying to log in with the English language. If this is the case (or any other language for that matter), see if there is a button on the login screen that allows you to change your language.

  • I changed my Apple ID and put new password but itune does not accept ? those and insists using old ID and password

    I changed my Apple ID and put new PW. When I go to itunes and want to purchase some App it gives window with
    old user id and asks for password. I does not accept new password because it is not associated with this ID. I wanted
    to make the same user ID as Apple and also the same password but I do not know how it can be done. The old ID and old password must be on Apple site
    and there must ba way to delete them.?

    Tap on your id in Settings > Store and log out of the account and then log back in with the updated version so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • Games center does not accept apple id

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion on my macbook pro and have found it will not accept my apple id in the games center. If I open chess i get a green screen that is blank but apparently should contain terms and conditions. Currently I cannot play a simple game of chess (something I enjoyed on Lion) until this issue is resolved. I have tried repairing the permissions, but no difference. Anybody found a soloution to this problem?

  • Apple TV will not accept Apple ID and password

    I use Windows 7 and just installled Apple TV on my TV and have connected it to my Wireless network. HOWEVER when I try to access Netflix as a new user my Apple ID and Password does not connect me to Netflix. how can I fix this?

    I finally went to General/Reset/Reset All Settings    Before I could get it to work. *****. I blame the latest update, but that's just because I have no other significant event on which to place the blame.
    Use case when mine got hosed; in case Apple is reading:  was watching a rented movie.  Paused it for an extended period of time (helping wife with groceries). While I was away it went to screensaver and eventually went to sleep. Upon return, I hit menu to bring it back to life and was greeted with the authentication error.   Bah!

  • Apple TV does not recognise my ID or password

    I cannot get my new Apple TV to recognise my Apple ID or password. I have tried changing them, and also updating my credit card details on my iTunes account as recommended in another chat chain. Without effect. My Apple ID and iTunes ID have different emails and I am wondering if this is the problem? Any help?

    the appetv have a microUSB connector so a cable with a microUsb connector in 1 end and normal usb in the other connected to a computer running itunes give the option of restoring the ios firmware if something goes wrong
