Apple ID not working in itunes to purchase or update apps

My Apple ID works in terms of logging into it to manage my account but not to update apps or purchase music in itunes.  Any ideas???

Have you tried closing the App Store app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if the updates download after your re-open the app :
iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

    Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

    When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
    Good luck.

    why is my apple id not working in itunes store?

    When is it asking for it ?
    If you are updating from iOS 7+ to 7.0.4 then did you have Find My iPod enabled on it ? If you did then it might be asking for the password for your account when you set that 'on'.

  • Apple tv not working with itunes match

    I bought Apple Tv last week and also bought the Itunes match , but whenever i open music on my apple tv , it says
    "Itunes Match "
    " Setting up your apple tv to stream music from itunes match . This may take a few minutes,depending on the size of your library and internet connection speed "
    i have already turned on itunes match on my Apple Tv and computer . Still its not working .

    I had a similar issue.  As of September 29, 2014.  After setting up iTunes Match on my Mac through iTunes, iTunes Match was not working on Apple TV.  The weird thing was that it worked on my iPhone 5 and Late 2013 iMac.  Strangely Apple TV was the newest device.  I and the newest OSs available for all my devices (iMac, iPhone and Apple TV - either OS X 10.9.5 and/or iOS 8.0.2).
    I called Apple Support and spoke with someone who had me log out of and back into my Apple account through Apple TV.  I was then prompted to activate iTunes Match on Apple TV (3rd Generation).
    That fixed the problem for me.
    Be advised that you need to remember your Apple TV password in order to sign back in.  Apple TV does not cache Apple ID passwords.
    I suggested to the Rep that they need to make the process much simpler via a way to Refresh iTunes or, at least, add Keychain to Apple TV so that I did not have to go through this again.  I suggest other users make the same requests through Apple Feedback for Apple TV.

  • Apple ID not working with iTunes

    Hi,
    After I updated to the most recent update (7.04) the iTunes Store won't let me update apps. When I press update all or just one of the apps it asks me for my password for my id. I put it in but iTunes doesn't seem to recognize it, like before the update. I'd like to update my apps because they seem to crash easily since the update. Does anyone have any ideas? Would it be a good to get help from Apple?

    First thing to try is a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Apple TV not syncing with iTunes for purchased movies

    Hi, I purchased two movies on iTunes and neither one is syncing with my Apple TV. All music is syncing perfectly fine.
    The Apple TV is set to Custom Sync. On the movies tab of the Apple TV device in iTunes I have selected sync all movies since the two I am trying to sync are the only two I have purchased. When I click sync it takes about 15 seconds and then finishes with no additional files transferred. I have also tried changing the setting from sync all movies to sync selected with the two movies selected beneath. Neither works for me. Any ideas on why?
    I am using iTunes 8.2

    in iTunes in the left hand panel under "Library" click on "Movies".. in the right hand list... find the movies that you bought. on far right of each row/item in the list is a checkbox... this checkbox must be checked or the movie will not sync... is that checkbox checked?

  • Apple Tv not working with itunes on a pc

    Hiya, I have had an apple tv for about 6months now and i love it. Yesterday it stopped working. It wont stream to my pc and when i try to make it Itunes just crashes. Also most of the time it wont show up in the devices list. It wont sync with my apple tv either. I have changed nothing in my setup for aleast a month so why today. Also to fix it i have uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it rebooted the box and factory reset it and then updated it. So PLease Help

    Welcome to the  Discussion forums
    My first suspicions would be with your PC rather than the tv or your network since itunes is crashing which it shouldn't do. You may not have changed your set up yourself but there have been a few  updates and M$ and antivirus providers are very good at giving you new security fixes every few days.
    Check your firewall isn't blocking the relevant ports (3689 TCP, 5353 UDP), disable any antivirus temporarily and you might want to check and repair your registry.

  • Apple ID not working in iTunes Store

    I have created my Apple ID and have a credit card on the account. From the help pages at Apple.com the Apple ID login is support to be linked to iTunes Store as well. In iTunes, I go to the store and try to login and it says that my ID is not recognized.
    Any ideas? Thanks

    Reboot you Mac - repair permissions with Disk Utility - launch iTunes and see if you can log in.
    Did you check via this page to see if all is correct - http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Yes, if you have been backing up on a regular basis.
    If this is your first time backing up, then no.
    you can check edit - preference - backup - see what is listed
