Apple 2 step verification for app purchases - server cannot connect

Seen a news article this week where Apple ID was having failures, now 2 step verification done not work when entering the correct code. I get a server error.

Will Apple ever create its own version to help secure iCloud, Apple Mail, iTunes, so on?  I would really like to see this as an optional security feature.
You can make feature enhancement requests directly to the Apple folks if you like. Here's a link to the iTunes product feedback form:

  • Can I setup two-step verification for more than one Apple ID?

    I have one iPad and one iPhone.
    I have four Apple IDs.
    I want to setup two-step verification in all four accounts.
    Can I?
    It seems that I can't, because to add a "trusted device" to an Apple ID requires setting up Find My iPhone on that device. Find My iPhone requires an iCloud account (which is available with every Apple ID). But once you change the iCloud account account used for Find My iPhone on a device, the device will not be able to be used in two-step verification for the previous iCloud account. Or will it get remembered?
    Anyone have any knowledge about this?

    You should be able to have more than account authorised on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option - and you should be able to select and sync purchases from both accounts to your phones

  • Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases?

    Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases? The Apple store sells iTunes gift cards, but I can't buy one with the remaining balance on my gift card.... Why won't you let me buy what I want to buy?
    Terrible policy.....

    No idea.
    Have you tried?
    What happened?
    Have you called and asked?

  • HT202656 verification code not sent to my iPhone (Sprint) for two-step verification for apple id

    I have tried to set up two-step verification several times using iCloud, first my iMac and then, when that didn't work, on my iPhone, all to no avail. I followed the instructions up to and including the step where the message says I will receive an SMS on my iPhone with a verification code. I never received the message with the verification code.
    I am using Sprint as my internet provider and working with an iMac with Mavericks 10.9.5 as the operating system and iPhone 6 with IOS 8.2

    Hey dagored,
    Thanks for the question. I would recommend completing the two-step verification process and then changing the SMS number associated once you upgrade:
    Apple ID: About two-step verification and SMS
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5593
    Or you can opt to complete the process and then turn two-step verification off completely:

    Thanks,

  • How do you remove devices from the device list when setting up 2-step verification for your apple id?

    When setting up 2-step verification for my Apple ID, I get a list of devices to verify.  My list has my old iPhone 4 and my old iPad, which I don't have either of anymore.  Is there a way to remove these devices from the list?  Plus, both iPads that are listed don't give any indication of which one is my current iPad and which is my old iPad, so I'm not sure which one to verify.  What should I do there.

    For reference, I figured out how to identify which iPad was which so I could verify my iPad.  I went into the settings on my new iPad and changed the device name, started a iCloud backup (not sure if this was necessary but I wanted to make sure the device name change persited to the cloud) and then was able to see the new name on the device screen for 2-step verification.  Hopefully this helps someone if they have a similar problem.  I still am not sure how to remove old devices from the list.

  • Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

    I have an Apple Account registered in the U.S & no credit card linked (since im under 18). I always use my Aunt's account because I buy in-app purchases and other stuffs in the app store, I also used her account to download the app I play but she changed her password and gifted me a gift card to redeem in my own apple ID...
    But whenever I wanted to buy something from the game it asks for her password and not mine, I changed the logged in apple account in the iTunes & Apple Store hoping not to re-install the app because I achieved so much in the game..
    Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

    No, all apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account will be able to make in-app purchases within them - you would need to delete the game (which would also delete your progress/settings in it) and buy/download it with your account to be able to make in-app purchases with your own account.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

  • I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I paid for apps, i demand my updates

    I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I dont care if i owe apple's itunes appstore a few dollars over 2 in app purchases i never meant to download in fact the whole app itself i wanted to delete...but out of the hundreds (maybe lower thousands) fof dollars in music and apps and whatever else, that i rightfully purchased over the passed couple of years....should *NOT* have the upgrades and/or previous purchased songs withheld from me over $3 in accidently purchased add ons through an existing app i deleted an disliked anyway

    Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

  • Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do?

    Received a email from Apple stating that my Apple ID was used for a purchase not on my device. It had a link to cancel purchase but asked for my email and password which I gave then it wanted my credit card info! I didn't give that,what should I do? Do you think this is just a way to get my credit card information?

    It sounds like a phishing email. You can't "cancel" purchases. You've now given them your AppleID and password, so you should immediately change your password to something new and very secure.
    Also watch out for suspicicious activity on your account.

  • HT2534 I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I cannot buy an email Gift Card "Apple ID Not Authorized for Email Purchase" ???

    I'll add my frustration in trying to purchase an e-mail gift card and being told I'm not authorized either.  Be nice to get more feed-back on the reason (e.g., no valid credit card, we think you pirate songs, you wear funny shoes .. something) instead of just NO!
