Yes, if you change your Apple ID to your new email address. You don't have to. Under those sort of situations you can speak to Apple about transferring your purchased items to the new Apple ID, and see if they will help you.
You don't lose access to your older purchased items, you simply cannot update or re-download them or, in some cases, use them without providing the old Apple ID and password. All purchased items are permanently tied to the Apple ID used at time of purchase.

Are you sure your iPhone is signed into the same iTunes Store account as iTunes on your computer? -
What do I do to stop my emails always asking for the password?
I have just had my iPhone5 replaced with a new one, and after getting synched with iCloud my email addresses are asking for the password. have never had a password on emails...how do I stop this occuring? many thx
Yes, but for that you'll need a cellular modem and a data plan to go with it. Or you may be able to use a cellular phone in tethered mode. I have no experience with either method, so I'll leave the explaining to someone who knows about them. Or if you already have a cell phone and plan, consult your phone service provider.

I have purchased a new iPad. I am trying to sync my music and apps. I also updated my Apple ID and password. So when I go to sync my old Apple ID pops up asking for a password but I have already changed the info. So the new password does not work. How do I get the new iPad to recognize the the updated info so I can sign in to my iCloud account?
On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

I set up airport wifi with a WEP password, but it never asks for the password and anyone can enter my network...what to do?
Is it possible to backtrack your way out of the keychain?
Yes:
Run the Keychain Access utility found in \Applications\Utilities
In the category column (on the left side of the utilities' window), select "All Items."
In the right column look for your Network Name. It will have a "Kind" of "AirPort network password."
Delete every entry that has both your Network Name with this Kind.
What can I do to test or reset?
You can completely erase all the base station's passwords by performing either a "hard" or "factory default" reset. You can also temporarily disable these passwords for up to five minutes so that you will have enough time to change them using the AirPort Utility, by just performing a "soft" reset. I would recommend this one first.
This would also be a good time to consider using WPA or WPA2, instead of WEP, as WEP is no longer considered secure.
I got the airport extreme based used with no softward and set up with reset on airport base and followed instructions.
You can download a copy of the AirPort Utility, that runs on OS X Tiger here. -

Suddenly i can,t play certain songs from my libary as they are connected to an old e mail address of 5 yrs ago . How do i merge them together ?
I had this problem yesterday (or a very similar problem). When you click on your purchased song, an old email address (Apple Account ID) pops up and asks for an old password to authorize permission. It is very stubborn and does not really co-operate when using the usual remedies (forgot password - send me an email - what is your birthday, etc). I fumbled around and eventually got it all straightened out. I can tell you what I did - I cannot tell you what exactly worked. Access your current Apple Itunes account. Deauthorize all computers (up to 4 or 5 in total, I forget...) that can play your purchased music. Update your password. Close your account and Itunes. Open Itunes and try your new password. Now try the "old" music that would not play before - your "old" email/Account ID should still pop-up asking for a password. Delete the old email/ID and put in your current one. Then use your new password to activate. This should solve the problem of old ID / old Password / no permission. My apologies for the imprecise method, again I am not sure exactly WHAT worked here - all I know is that the Itunes Help sections and tutorials were good - but of no use in this case.

How do I get rid of my old charter email address on the game center app and icloud. It is messing things up when I go to sign in with my new Apple ID using Att? I am continually asked to update my password!!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

My email keeps asking for my password
When I bought my Mac Air, at the beginning of last month, my email address was being hacked into on a near constant basis (This had nothing to do with apple, it was all BT's fault.) Anyway, during those weeks, I had to reset and change my password all the time, also having to change it on my ipad, iphone and obviously my new mac. Since then, everything regarding my email has been sorted and i've had no problems with the account, but the email 'app' on my mac constantly asks for me to verify the password. It never tells me the password is wrong (which it isn't anyway) but everytime I log on to my mac, before I do anything, I get a little pop up that asks me to type in the password for my email, and it does that once or twice throughout my time on my laptop and everytime I log on.
I obviously did something during the time I was trying to fix my bt account but It's frustrating and I don't know how to stop it! Any help would be brilliant!If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked. -
I bought the new iPhone 5 awhile back and just placed my iPhone 4 in a drawer. In trying to set it up to give to my Mom, the restored iPhone 4 wanted a password. I used all the passwords I usually use and nada. I can't connect to iTunes because my new phone is setup and I still need to unlock the phone to do anything.
How do I get the phone out of disabled mode? I took out the sim card and have the Find my iPhone app set to my new phone.I didn't have it synced to any computer since I got a new phone. I ended up restoring it by turning it off, holding the home button until the apple came back up, while still holding - connected to iTunes - and restored. It wiped everything which I didn't mind. Now, no lock password. Yippeeee!!

I'm in a Hampton Inn trying to connect my apple tv to the wifi. Apple TV recognizes and says it's connected but doesn't ask for the password and is not actually connected because it can't download Itunes. How can I get the Apple TV to ask for a password. I noticed another wifi connection from someone in another room and when I clicked on that the Apple TV asked for the password, but doesn't for the hhonors wifi. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks vazandrew. I had to call the provider, but they have 24/7 service. They had to manually add the device. Thanks for your help.

I changed the keyboard language from English to Vietnamese, then the computer went into slee. I turn it on, it asks for the password, but the keyboard doesn't take vowels. what can I do?
You may want to wait for others to see this thread who might offer some other suggestions, but you could consider resetting the password. These instructions work for Lion (10.7.x) and Mountain Lion (10.8.x).
