Aol username/password not being recognized

This is weird...I tried logging onto the iTunes store using my AOL login ID and password, but it throws up a message saying that the username and/or password is incorrect. It was working fine up until yesterday.
I further checked to see if AOL (www.aol.com) recognized my password - and it did!
Is something wrong with iTunes at the moment?

I had the same problem. It drove me crazy. I then noticed that the first letter in my sign on was not in caps. I retyped it in and it worked. Example - dharp102 instead of how it was in aol DHarp102. Once I changed it I had no problems but have to change it everytime I log in using the aol username and password.
Hope this helps.

  • Why why why is my password not being recognized, i JUST changed it yet again

    Why is my password not being recognized?  I've used the same password, successfuly for the past year.  All of a sudden, it tell me my password is incorrect. So I change it.  Write it down.  Still not recognized.  What is going on here?  Thanks for ANY help.

    Have you restarted your phone since resetting your password? I know it seems so simple, but it's just like when you update a computer and have to restart. It doesn't hurt to try

  • Mac Mail: smpt password not being recognized

    Short version: I had to update my ATT modem and this prompted me to re-establish a connection with ATT.net. Given that I never use my ATT browser mail, I called tech support for the password. Once set, I was up and running on the internet. Even received emails via MacMail, but no outbound. ATT said I needed to match the "browser-based" password with the smpt in the account settings within Mac Mail.
    Did it. —>quit—>restarted—>checked for password case sensitivity and even blind spaces. I got nothin'. I gotta say ATT tech's were consistently nice over the 4 hours I dealt with four people and in the end could offer no high level tech support as they are not familiar yet with Lion. I'm pretty techie, but the simple things here are mind melting me.

    Thanks for all of your responses.
    I redid everything you guys mentioned and at one point I got a message that it wasn't reaching the server. The option to "resolve to server" came up (which wasn't the default option) and I clicked it for the heck of it. Sure enough, it fixed the connection. Again, what was odd was that the deault was "try again".
    It's working fine now, but since I don't know what caused the disconnect in the first place, I'm hoping the connection doesn't break again, I accept a meeting, and it doesn't get added to iCal. You'd think there'd be a redundancy for .ics files where it would say:
    You have responded to an invite. Would you like to add to iCal?
    [Yes] [No]
    [ ] Never ask me again
    Or it would there would be an option in Mail that says "Display Calendar invites as [] Attachment [] Email."
    I know the preferences should take care of this, but meetings and appointments are important enough for this type of anal retentiveness.
    Thanks again fo rall your help.

  • HT1369 Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed and mobile programs associated with my non apple cellpho

    Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes (but is registering as an external drive by the computer itself) have updated and reinstalled itunes, stopped/started apple mobile device and removed any mobile programs associated with my non apple cellphone. This seems to have started happening after the last Itunes update I did as I was able to put music on my ipod touch a month or so ago. Is there some way to go back to an older version of itunes? I really have no idea what else to do since I followed every step on the trouble shooting page for windows 8.

    I had this problem too and my roommate solved it!
    Go to 'Settings'
    'Music'
    Scroll to the bottom and enter your password to log onto your home sharing
    Then connect to iTunes and sync!

  • Just purchase ipad3 trying to play from favorites in you tube but can't set up a play list, username /password not recognised, tried some apps like SoundBox but same issues, can anybody help?

    Just purchase ipad3, trying to play you tube favorites but can't set up a play list (username /password not recognised)
    Tried downloading apps such as SoundBox but no joy
    Can anybody help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • HT5361 Unable to send photos. Message...Username/password not combatible.

    Unable to send photos. Message...username/password not combatable. I'm computer dense...what next?

    Have a current backup before proceeding here.  Time Machine or otherwise.
    If no outbound messages are sent...  There are two different server definitions and two different places where you need a user and a password, the first and most obvious setting within mail is for receiving mail; the POP or IMAP setting.  Everybody gets that one.   To get to the credentials and the password used to send mail messages (the one that folks don't find as easily), Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to "Edit SMTP Server List", then find the Yahoo SMTP server entry, then fix the password there.
    Here's the Apple mail troubleshooting information.
    If that fails, remove the entry and re-add it.
    If smaller messages are sent correctly and larger messages are blocked, Yahoo may be restricting the size of the message(s) being sent.  Try smaller messages as a test, or use a file sharing service to transfer the images, or maybe wait for the OS X Yosemite Mail Drop feature.
    PS and FWIW, this message was originally posted in the OS X Server forum, and you're not running OS X Server here — OS X Server includes various network services, including a mail server — a mail server is what Yahoo is running here, but OS X Server allows folks to configure and run a mail server locally on a Mac Mini or some other Mac configured as a server.  Your MacBook Air would then connect into that server, in addition to or in place of the Yahoo server.  Like most other mail servers, the mail server within OS X Server can be configured to block larger messages, too.

  • Ipod touch not being recognized by itunes now

    i have a friend who has an ipod touch....everything had been going fine for him and then all of a sudden it was not being recognized any more....what caused this? he did say that he had done an update but i'm not sure what version he has....could this possibly be the problem.....does anyone an a fix for this?

    I think Apple is having a problem at the moment, my Ipod touch was always fine syncing until the new update! (Even on older itunes version, I could'nt sync since new update came out) It just isnt recognizing the device...
    Ive done all that Apple says to do, none of which helps at all, I reckon its thier own side of the problem they need to fix...

  • IPod touch not being recognized by iTunes on my MacBook, and on 2 other PCs

    Hello,
    After scouring the web and these discussion forums to no avail, I've decided to post my problem. I downloaded iTunes 8.0 yesterday, and updated the firmware on my iPod Touch to 1.1.5. I tried connecting my iPod, and nothing happened. It is not being recognized by my MacBook. So, I tried using another USB iPod connector, and nothing happened. I tried using a firewire connector, and nothing happened. Frustrated, I tried connecting to my one roommate's HP laptop and see if it would get recognized there - no. I then tried on my other roommate's laptop. The device was recognized to be USB, but iTunes wouldn't go ahead and try and reformat it. I'm starting to lose my mind! I've tried resetting the iPod touch itself loads of times to no success. I've tried restarting while having the iPod connected to the computer, and still nothing.
    What should I do now?

    Sorry about not getting to you on the quick-fast, but we aren't Apple employees.
    What ended up being the solution you needed, as you said, you couldn't find any information already posted on this problem, so documenting your fix may help someone in the future.

  • TS3716 ipod nano is not being recognized by iTunes.

    My ipod nano 2nd generation (and working perfectly) is not being recognized by iTunes.
    Any suggestions?

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
