HT204053 I have made an Apple ID 10 months ago...But when I use it I get a message that says your Apple ID does not exist in iTunes and also Application Store...

I am living in Iran...I have made an apple ID about 10 months ago to use free Apps available in ITunes and Application Store...But I always get a message which says your Apple ID does not exist in iTunes and Application Store...Please guide me how to use iTunes and Application Store for downloading free Apps and music...

It sounds like you haven't yet setup iCloud with that account and you need to do that on a Mac or iOS device. Once setup, you can enable iCloud on a PC, but it needs to be setup first.
See Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
Which says in part:
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

Am prompted to authorize iTunes account in order to play music, however passwords are not accepted and when I try to recover password, I am told that the Apple ID does not exist. How do I get my songs to play?

Hi everybody, I just recently upgraded my laptop and now can't play my music anymore. I bought the music years ago on an Apple ID that I haven't used for a while and even though I have a password written down, it doesn't seem to be the correct one. Furthermore, when I try to reset the password and send an e-mail to this old Apple ID, I don't receive anything and thus cannot even reset the passwort. Lastly, neither my, nor my mother's birthdate will work for security questions in order to reset the passwort. I really don't care about the account, I just want to get my music back! So if anybody either knows how to (re?)activate this Apple ID OR how to get my music playable both on my laptop as also on my other Apple devices without having to deal with this old Apple ID, I'd be super thankful for any help or tips!

GB won't open- This is what I get... Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser

Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index st: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index w/out this directory you cannot use the Loop Browser. Then I get this message...
Instrument Library Invalid
GarageBand Ecpects a valid instrument foledr in /Libraty/Application Support/GarageBand
Please choose a valid instrument Library folder or quit and re-install GB
Any solutions?

Is this a new installation of GarageBand or has it worked before on the same computer?
Or have you transferrred your GarageBand from a different computer?
The error message is saying, that your GarageBand installation is incomplete. There are essential foldrs missing in your system library.
Check, if indeed both folders are missing or if only the permissions are set incorrectly.
Your system library (the folder "System" directly on your system drive) should have the following folders inside the folder "Audio", and they need to be readable by the system and by administrators.
And in the folder /Library/Application Support there should be the Instrument Library.
If these folders do not exist (or no longer exist), restore them from your backup- If your GarageBand version is a new installation, the application may not hve been downloaded or installed completely, then reinstall GarageBand.
What is your GarageBAnd version, and how did you install it originally?

Error on start: Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index

I get the error "Path does not exist: /Library/Audio/Apple Loops Index
Without this directory you can not use the LoopBrowser. Please make sure this directory exists" when starting Garage Band. I also cannot use the onscreen keyboard, or musical typing in GarageBand. All other sounds work fine.
The only thing that changed since I last used GB was that I installed Leopard. (and that was a while ago, so I thought all was well and got rid of my last Tiger backup. )
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Another update: I tried to reinstall garage band from the disks that came with my mac, but got the error:

I have an "old" Apple ID set up 13 years ago. Apple has now gone to using email address as the apple ID. I have apps to update and they ask for old ID. it does not exist. How can I get the ID on the app changed to the new apple ID

I set up an apple id many years ago when itunes was established. Within the past year or so, Apple has changed to using email address as user id. My problem is that I have many applications that I can not update due to the fact that it is asking for the password of the old ID. It does not exist anymore. Any ideas on how to get the new apple id associated with the application without deleting the application. Several of these apps I purchased.

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

How do I connect to an AppleID that is linked to my purchases that Apple support says does not exist ?

My Iphone and Itunes have apps that are registered under the appleid 'broucks'. During the IOS 5 update process I lost the ability to connect to this appleid and am now unable to order new apps or more importantly update applications (which are locked into pre IOS5 state and thus not working well - especially Navigon).
I have twice been in contact with Itunes support who insist that this appleid does not exist and after providing me with the password for appleid [email protected] (which is an appleid I created after being unable to use broucks).
After telling them that I already had the password for [email protected] and requesting that they trace order numbers to an appleid and then either activate that appleid with purchases or transfer the purchases to [email protected] they refuse to respond.
In fact I have the impression that I am not talking to human but poorly programme BOTS.
In 2007 I was given the appleid Broucks
Your Apple ID or .Mac account is: broucks
Both my Iphone(update) and Itunes (info) want a password for broucks.
It has been a month. How can I conclude this sad state ? Advice please.
Oh ... another puzzle. When I try to validate [email protected] it fails to validate saying that another apple_id has the same address (could it be broucks?).
Trying to get the password for broucks ....
My DOB is not recognized as valid and the email validation results in no email to any account I have ever had (certainly not the original email in 2007 that announced the creation of my apple_id ([email protected]).
Thanks
Broucks

This seems a not uncommon problem. Amazing that Apple has not acknowledged it in support or come up with a solution/workaround. It would certainly be in their interest as well as our (locked out users). I have devoted a lot of time to this and cannot solve it without their help (which is not forthcoming)..

How can I change my Apple ID that is set up with an old email that does not exist anymore

I set up an Apple ID years ago with a hotmail email account. I also deleted that hotmail email account years ago. I now have a gmail email. I cannot back up anything to icloud because of my apple id that is connected to the hotmail email account that does not exist anymore. To change my ID, apple sends a verification email to my old hotmail account which i cannot access, and it also says my gmail account is my rescue account, so I wouldn't be able to change it to my gmail account anyway. Any ideas? I'd like my ID to be associated with my one and only current gmail email account. I have a lot of songs that I've spent a lot of money on over the years that I don't want to lose.

See Here > Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Ask to speak with the Account Security Team...

My cursor frequently stops working. It still moves but nothing happens when I click with it. Also, when I go for support Apple tells me my serial number does not exist but I am sure I am entering the correct one.

My arrow cursor changes unexpectedly to the "tall I" cursor and then I can't open links.
My two delete buttons only work one letter/number at a time.
When I go for Apple support it says my serial number does not exist? But I know it is correct!

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

My IPhone is asking me to type in my password for my old Apple ID that does not exist anymore. I cant set up ICloud without typing in a password to a Apple ID that does not exist, so do I have to remove everything from my IPhone and start over?

Hello miamat2017
You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.

Hello buy a movie on apple tv, and now can not find the device tells me I should go to settings / downloads / check downloads, but that does not exist in the menu of the apple tv, please help

Hello buy a movie on apple tv, and now can not find the device tells me I should go to settings / downloads / check downloads, but that does not exist in the menu of the apple tv, please help

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

Movie disappeared in Apple TV, general/downloads tab does not exist

Hi, I've just rented a movie using my Apple TV. The movie started running and after 5 minutes of watching, suddenly it stopped and disappeared. When I wanted to rent it again, I got the error that "the movie has already been rented so I need to go to setting/download... a tab which simply does not exist.
Anyway, I've tried general/itunesstore/check for rentals and it doesn't go anywhere as well.
As a result,
i cannot watch the movie because it just disappeared
i cannot rent it again because apple tv won't let me
apple tv will charge me and just because i don't think it's fair, i'll run after 2,99 for a couple of days to convince a call center operator.
isn't it just bad? apple's doing its worst lately. I've just had my skype gone blind in MacBook Air because they changed the software so that skype can't see the camera. (it's fixed now.)
i really want some people to feel themselves bad about their work down in cupertino.
Anyway, does anyone know what could be done?

Hello pasink; Hello seanmoney302
Your problems are not unique: many people who use this forum have experienced the same thing you two have.
Here is a solution - first proposed by Corza from Australia - that worked for me:
In Apple TV, cursor over to Settings and check -
Settings > iTunes Store > Location
Settings > General > Time Zone
Settings > General > Region Format.
It was the last one that worked for me. The wrong country was selected under Region Format; as soon as I made the correction, everything returned to normal with my rentals.
I should add that another series of steps has worked for others.
Sign out of, then back into, iTunes. You will have to re-enter your Apple ID and password.
Restart Apple TV either from within the device itself, or by unplugging and waiting for 30 - 60 seconds, then plugging in again.
Good Luck to both of you.

My Apple ID asks for answers to security questions which I never input. I have searched how to reset my security questions and have found that the option below where your answers are to be input to reset questions does not exist on my iPhone 5c

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.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
