When I updated iTunes last week, it asked me for an email and new password.  I misspelled my email.  How do I delete that account and is that what I need to do?

Before I installed IOS last week, I had to update iTunes.  It asked me to give an email and new password.  I misspelled my email and now I have two iTunes accounts.  Do I need to delete the wrongly spelled one and will that delete the IOS on my phone or just ignore it?

You should have your stuff separate from your mom's. Delete all the apps downloaded or purchased with your mom's Apple ID and download or purchase them with your own Apple ID. Back up files and data first if possible.

  • The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.

    The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.
    About the only thing I can do is log into the account, but it's constantly asking me for my user/password.
    I've read a number of discussions on the matter -
    I am running Lion 10.7.4 on iTunes 10.6.3
    I check the keychain access
    Reset passwords
    etc.
    Nothing seems to be working.
    Any other ideas?

    I have the exact same problem, it suddenly just started asking for the iCloud or iTunes password, practically every 5 seconds, no exaggeration. Even more frustrating than that, it rejects the password I enter, even though I'm positive that it's correct!  I can barely go from screen to screen without this infernal box popping up, and forget texting or using an app.
    After resetting the password & turning the phone off & on a few times, I just finished restoring it and the bloody pop-up was the first thing that came onto the screen when it restarted haha. I hope someone can help

  • I have changed my number and have updated it but however they still send my keychain password to my old number. how can i changed that ? i need it ASAP .

    Hello Leela24,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have changed your phone number but your iCloud Keychain verification number is still your old phone number. You can edit this phone number in your iCloud settings on your iPhone. Please use the attached article for information on the process.
    Get help using iCloud Keychain - Apple Support
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    Happy holidays,

  • I downloaded the firefox but when i Run it to install , it asks me for a username and a password .. what can i do ??

    i uninstalled the firefox cause youtube doesn't work on it and i download it again so every time i try to run the program .. and then it asks me for a password and a username when i choose Run it with the current user The message window just disappear and it stops running .. don't know what to do

    From this article:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    Here's the answer:
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

  • I play City Ville (Zynga). After I updated FF last week my friends ladder will not load and game refreshes upon start up

    as soon as the game gets to the address below I get a message that says OOPS! we seem to have lost connection with your browser. I believe the code in ( )'s is 0028. When it reloads my friend info at the bottom of the screen is gone. Zynga asked for and got several screen shots, but I guess they can't solve it. Tells me to update every thing. Did not work. Then was told to go back to previous Fire Fox version. I hope you can help me!

    The first thing to do is use smartctl to test the drive. Start with the short test ( smartctl -t short /dev/sdX ), and if it passes run the long test ( ... -t long ... ).

  • I purchased a used macbook and the other persons apple id information is still on this for example apple updates it wont allow me to update apps unless i am logged in with his email. how do i change that

    You're going to have to purchase those apps for yourself. The seller shouldn't have left anything he had purchased on the computer when he sold it to you.

    Hello Dorothea5916,
    It sounds like you changed your forum account preferences and now they have changed back, and you have an unauthorized purchase on your iTunes Store account and have concerns about your account security. I recommend first changing your Apple ID password with this article:
    Apple ID: Changing your password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    Click "Password and Security".
    In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password.
    Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
    The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password
    You should also report an issue with the purchase to the iTunes Store support directly with the following article:
    How to report an issue with your iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store purchase
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1933
    To enhance security for your account you may want to look into Two-Step Verification to help prevent unauthorized access to your account:

  • HELP!!!!!-It all started when I updated Itunes

    Okay it seems to me that a lot of people are having this problem, but yet no one seems to have found a solution. I have downloaded the newest ITunes a couple of days ago. And then I tried to update my IPOD (20gb click wheel) and it continuly says "Do Not Disconnect." I am at a lost here and very fustrated. This is my second Ipod since my first one crashed (they replaced it at the Apple Store with this one) and this isn't even a year old yet. I was able to Disconnect it successfully, but now certain tracks skip and it tends to freeze. I can't update it or restore it because the computer says "Can't Mount Ipod". I have done the 5 R's and in addition tried all the troubleshooting articles. I have even tried the "Apple Drop"-which works temporarily. And this seems to all have started when I updated Itunes and the Itunes wouldn't recoginze my Ipod. The irony of the whole thing is I see on windows. So anyone can give me some help then please do. Otherwise I swear I am going to go to the Apple Store and throw this at someone.

    As posted in another topic by meself...I had similar problem...
    Success!!!! Here's how I did it:
    1) Re-named iTunes music folders in my My Music documents, just to avoid any mishaps during the uninstall process. I just called them "Backup" and "Backup2"
    2) if you have the ORIGNAL iPod updater installed on your computer, restore iPod using this updater. If not skip this.
    3) Uninstall iTunes, and any iPod updaters that you have, including the original. Delete any leftover files & folders from the C: drive.
    4) If your iPod is in disk mode, and is available in Windows Explorer, find it and right-click, and select format. Make sure to have the volume type set as FAT32, and do not use quick format. This is really just an extra step, just to be sure that your iPod is clean of any newer software.
    5) Re-boot, and re-install your ORIGINAL software.
    I have a 3G 15GB iPod, and do not listen to podcasts. So not having that capability in iTunes is no loss to me. If you have more music in iTunes than will fit on your iPod, you can either manually update iPod, or create a playlist, and set iTunes to only update that playlist (or any others you create later). If you listen to podcasts, and need that functionality in iTunes, you may be out of luck, as oldversion.com does not currently have older versions of iTunes available. If you stil have a setup program for iTunes 5, you may want to back that up as well and re-install that after your original install is complete.
    I have re-charged my iPod, and listened to it for a bit, with no song skipping, and all songs I have asked for on it. I'll keep an eye on it over the next couple of days, but it seems like I have cured my sick iPod.

  • Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

    Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly   Thanks anyway!

  • When i updated itunes I lost all my music, I was able to retrieve it from my previous version, but now a artists have all of their songs list under one unknown cd.  How can I seperate these cds with the correct songs included?

    When I updated itunes I lost all of my music, I was able to retrieve it from a previous itunes library, but now some artists have all of their songs listed under one "unknown album."  Is there a way to separate these songs back into the correct albums?  Also, is there a way to make songs that have a featured guest just show up with the rest of the album instead of making a whole new spot for it?  Thanks!

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.
    Evie

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

    After updating iTunes this week Windows 8 recognizes the iPod but does not offer an option to open with iTunes. iTunes does not recognize iPod Touch. Have followed all the steps but without success. Is there a solution with iTunes?

    I followed all the instructions on the suggested page. Many files in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\ could not be deleted. Message said ""Cannot delete files: It is being used by another person or program"' but could not find iPodService.exe in task manager (also, the "Cannont delete ... " did not mention iPodService.exe).
    Deleted all that I could. Reinstalled iTunes. Still same result. iTunes and computer both recognize my old iPod. Only the computer recognizes iPod Touch.

    In the past, when I updated iTunes, some items would be 'lost'. I quit updating, still running 10.6. I do keep my files on an external hard drive, which I plug in before starting iTunes. If I leave the drive off, and update, would that keep me from losing any files? Also, does anyone know how to search the iTunes store by price? I'm particularly interested in movies and audiobooks... Thanks

    iTunes does not have provision for automatically storing one kind of media on a separate drive, so you have some basic decisions to make first.  Do you want these movies to still appear in your iTunes library, or are you content with browsing filenames on a drive in Finder when you want to look for one?  The second's the easiest thing because then you don't have to have an external drive permanently turned on and attached to your computer (wired or wireless).  To do that you literelly only need to drag your movies folder to an archive drive and delete movies from iTunes.  To watch them again you can add it back to iTunes while holding down the option key so the movie is used from its location on the external drive.
    There's ways to move the movies to an external drive while keeping them in iTunes but the external drive iwll always have to be turned on and connected to the computer or you will see a bunch of broken link exclamation marks.
    Realize what you are talking about is not "backup".  Backup (which you should do) is putting a second or more copy of items on external drives for the day when your internal drive fails and everything on it is lost, inclduing all your home photos and perhaps things that have been pulled from the iTunes Store and can no longer be re-downloaded.
