Accepts password, but keeps asking for it.

I tried to rate authorize my computer, rate a CD, and write a review for a CD, but strangely, iTunes refuses to allow me to do any of those things.
It asks for my username and password, I type it in, it accepts both (dosen't return with the invalid username or password message), however, it opens up again and asks me to enter my password.
So it keeps asking me for my Username and Password, despite both being correct.
I've reset my password using the dialogue, no problems there.
I'm running the Windows 7 RC if that's any help.

This just happened to me (again). There's something funny about keychain access, Mail, and MobileMe that just wreaks havoc on passwords. It happened to me once under 10.4.11 and a forum search revealed the following solution. The fix that worked for me then, and again now under 10.5.4, was locating the relevant password in the keychain list and allowing global access. Use the Keychain access program.
Then I updated to 10.5.5, and things went haywire again. Mail wouldn't store a password even after deleting and recreating the count. The password box was annoyingly blank, and wouldn't accept input. My MobileMe pref pane turned out to be the culprit. I logged out of MobileMe in the pref pane, and Mail was happy again. I re-entered the password and re-enabled global access and all is kosher again.
Thoroughly underwhelmed with MobileMe's polish. It doesn't play nicely even with it's own software.

Hello steveod2
The main thing to do is to sign out all services on your iPhone, like iCloud, iTunes & App Store, iMessage and FaceTIme. Check out the article below for more information.

Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

Store will not allow purchases. Recognizes ID but keeps asking for password.

I cannot access my ID account through the I-tunes store. Nor can I purchase anything.
The last thing I purchased was, "matching." That product seems to also be having an error that asks me to sign out and back into my apple ID. The error message pops up if I try to link my computer to "matching."

Maybe you should reset your password.

HT1766 hi, just got a replacement phone, tried to restore a back up, but keeps asking for my password, i type it in, and it keeps saying incorrect password...please help

its a 4s, backed up on the 5/sept at 10.49pm, trying to restore on 7/sept and it saus password incorrect.
have tried 1234, 0000, and my only itunes password, and the lock phone password i had when i restored it.
resarted my computer, turned device on and off....still cant do it..
i'm annoyed now!
can anyone help??
thanks

Because when you first saved an encrypted backup that is the password you used. The backup password does not "track" your password changes; it stays with what you started with unless you change it.

Hi,

Went back to buy album. Password accepted and download completed.

I've succssefully entered my fingerprint into my new 5S, but I can't get the phone to "accept" it; it keeps asking for my passcode. When I put my finger on the Home button, it does nothing. How do I switch from passcode to fingerprint?
Many thanks.

Make sure you have set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > Passcode Unlock = "On".
If you like, also set Settings > General > Passcode & Fingerprint > Fingerprints > iTunes & App Store = "On".

Although I have not set up a voice mail password, my phone keeps asking for one. How do I turn that off?

Just bought an iPhone 5. Although I did not set up a voicemail password, it keeps asking for one. How do I turn that off?

I believe once you set and input the password on your iPhone it will NEVER ask you for it again, unless you restore your phone as a new device.
So, set a password, input it, then you shouldn't see that popup anymore.
