I created an iCloud account for my sons ipod tried to sign into the App Store and it just keeps coming up with unknown error can you help

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

  • Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

    Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • Weird Problem trying to sign into my App Store Account ?  Please Help !!

    Im having a very weird problem trying to sign into my App store account to update my apps and to purchase new Apps. Ive tried to search the net but I cant seem to solve my problem.
    Here is whats happening
    My Email address is correct in my iTunes Account and also my App Store account. (which is basically the same anyway)
    The problem I am having Is that when I try to download an App my old email address still shows up when it requests my password.
    The weird part is that my email address is correct in my itunes and also at the bottom of my app store. Yet my old email is showing up when I try to sign into the App store.
    Here are the steps Ive taken already to fix this problem and have failed.
    I have signed out of my itunes and app store and signed back in..FAILED.
    I went into my setting -STORE and signed out and back in..FAILED.
    I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
    PLEASE HELP !!!

    I dont understand why my old email is still showing up when I try to sign in to update or download an App !!!!
    Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. Were these apps purchased using your old account details?

    Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

  • Although I am new to mac, I am not new to computers and purchasing online.  I can't sign into the App store after installing Lion.  I have had to change my password 4 times in 2 days .  I am so sick of this.  I am trying to buy a tutorial for Lion.

    I recently downloaded Lion and since have had nothing but problems with my new i-Mac.  My problem with the App store is only one issue.  Has anyone out there had any trouble with their components after installing Lion 10.7???????   After several hours on the phone with a tech my situation isn't any better.  I think the tech is sick of talking with me.  He was supposed to call me today and the phone never rang.   He told me he was working on something to repair my problems and needed to talk with engineers.  How long could that take????   If it wouldn't hurt the person who gifted me this i-Mac, I would give it back. 

    your itunes accoutn have nothing to d with your computer
    you can go to any computer with internet access in the world and
    login into your itunes account if you have the appleID and password
    the itunes account is placed on apples itunes servers

  • I live outside of the US and do not have any of the payment modes included in signing into the app store for free downloads.  What do I do as my iPad air is fasting a piece of junk to me.

    How can I get a token payment card to enable me make apple app free downloads?

    Did you create an Apple ID without a credit card?

  • I am unable to restore my iPad. iTunes keeps coming up with "unknown error (3004)" I have updated my Windows, tried searching for apple updates, but keep being told "cannot connect to apple server" HELP PLEASE

    The whole problem started when I was syncing my iPad to update it. iTunes for some reason, put it into recovery mode. I have done all the hints and tips for the error code, checked my internet connection & tried to restore on another computer, but it required an update of iTunes and would not connect to Apple server either.

    Here is the work around:
    When and if you get the same error it will prompt you to select one of three choices:
    You have to select the LAST choice ---either Cancel (if you do this you will keep going around in circles), Restore to YOUR settings (which is really a trick question), or Restore to Factory (sorry I can't recall exact language)
    Then in itunes select your ipad under "Devices" if it doesn't automatically...(YOU CAN SKIP TO #5)
    There will be 3 Boxes in the "Summary" screen for you to choose from:
    VERSION: DO NOT SELECT RESTORE, BACK.. I selected "Back up to this computer", OPTIONS: click on which ever box you desire (I did #1 & #2). Then I selected "CONFIGURE UNIVERSAL ACCESS" and hit "OK".
    In the bottom right hand corner you will see two choices, select "SYNC" and your ipad & computer should start the syncing process which could last a LONG time depending on how much data you have backed up.
    Sorry if this doesn't work for you but it's working so far for me! Good luck...and Apple please don't do this again! So very confusing!

  • I cannot sign into the APP Store to get new apps it keeps aSKING ME FOR MY PASSWORD AND REJECTS THE PASSWORD

    RESET PASSWORD CONSTANTLY. SEEMS LIKE ITS OUT OF SYNC WITH ITUNES, HAVE GONE BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AND HAVE SYNC AGAIN WITH ITUNES SUCCESSFULLY
    WHEN EVER i TRY TO DOWNLOIAD AN APP IT WILL REJECT THE PASSWORD. HAVE  RESET THE PASSWORD SEVERAL TIMES.  STILL CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY NEW APPS

    I'm having the same problem with my iPad Mini. I've decided after many attempts that it's Apple's problem, since I have no problem accessing the store and making purchases through my other devices. It's saving me a lot of money not being able to buy new apps and in-app purchases. And I'm not going to waste any time with Apple Support on it. They want my money, they can figure it out all on their own. Maybe Samsung is better with this sort of hiccup...

  • Sign into apple app store locked to other account.

    Hello
    I worked for a Curry's DASIS / Ubiquity stand in store and sold my friend a Macbook Pro 13" MD102, the machine was sold off display at the time with a decent reduction.
    Recently her iPhoto app is saying its out of date and needs to be updated, but when she goes to sign into the APP store when she tries to login the apple ID field is populated by a Apple ID she is unaware of and so am i, my thinking is that when the mac was on display perhaps someone has signed in with an apple ID.
    What can i do to resolve this issue and permanently remove the unknown apple id so 1. she can use her Apple ID to sign in and 2. No data or apps or data are lost.
    note: She has contacted the person who's apple ID was in there and they say they are happy to meet up to login but if they logged in how could i remove there account from the machine.
    any Suggestions below is a screen picture she sent me of the issue
    Many Thanks

    That solution is kinda dumb -.-
    You asked for help. I have given you the correct solution to your issue because it involves more than the two apps. It involves the whole Mac.
    Why I would reinstall the OSX just to change the ID Apple of an App?
    I gave you the explanation in my answer.
    It's time for you to move on. You have high-jacked another user's thread for your issue. You should start your own topic with the issue so as not to be carrying on a cross conversation.
    Insulting folks who offer you the correct solution is no way to make folks want to continue to assist you here!

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • My mum set up an iCloud account and forgot the password, and this caused me to create a new account. The new account works for the App Store and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account without the password. Help?

    My mum set up an iCloud account for my iPhone 4 but forgot the password. This caused me to create a new account, and it can be used for the App Store and iTunes and all that, but I can't change the initial iCloud account (the one my mum made). My device keeps prompting me for the password every few minutes after updating to iOS 8, and I've tried every option possible to retrieve the password, but I don't even know the answers to the security questions and I can't find the password reset email anywhere and I don't know the back up emails my mum used. I literally cannot find any legitimate way to sign out of the initial iCloud account without entering a password (which neither I nor my parents know). Is there a way for me to retreive the password or change to my new account without the password?

    See:Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions and How do I mange iCloud account about 3/4s of the way down.
