Apple TV - iTunes Store Password

My Apple TV continues to request my password, even though it's correct. What do do?

What password? AppleId, iCloud Id, Home sharing, WiFi, AirPlay, etc. etc. etc. Resposnes can only be as helpful as the details provided, and almost none were given here.

Having the same problem on my iMac. I've tried everything to do with connection problems in the Help article re: the iTunes store with no results. Also contacted Support, which referred me to the Help article and to the Support Communities i.e. here; no dice. I get the idea that something's mixed up here; they told me it was probably my internet connection rather than an iTunes issue, but according to my diagnostics the network is working perfectly fine. It has to be something on the far end - especially since there would appear to be no less than four people with the issue.

Is my iTunes store password & Apple ID the same thing?

I want to change my iTunes store password. If I do this am I also changing my Apple ID password? (Are they one & the same?)
Ideally I'd like a different password for iTunes to my Apple ID one, just checking if they're the same thing?

Thanks, I'll leave it alone then.

HT201303 Is there a difference between the apple store id password and apple iTunes store password?

I know my apple id password. When I try to log into my apple tv, it asks for my apple iTunes store password and when I enter my apple store password, it is rejected. I tried to change my apple iTunes store password to the same as my apple id password and it says I have previously used that password which leads me to believe they are the same but then why does apple tv not accept it?

The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

I have my ipod attached to an old, out of date email and when i try to update from my ipod it says "your itunes store password is incorrect" Any ideas why/how to fix?

Try from a computer. You may have to reset your password. If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question. Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

What to do when your iPad keeps asking for the iTunes Store Password

I was using my iPad last night when it just started asking for my iTunes store password and I was browsing the web in safari. I just entered it and scratched my head. Later I was playing a game - the same prompt interrupted the game.
http://skitch.com/mbrad/dru2p/full-screen
It happened about five times before I finally went to the settings app and signed out of the app store. I don't think it's related to any one app since the prompt was happening at seemingly random intervals no matter what I was doing (even on the home screen with no app "running")
Signing out seems to have corrected the problem. Apps still run and I will try signing in again later once I need to download anything. I haven't done much other than update 5 apps earlier in the day.
Does anyone else have experience on what caused this?
Here's what it's not:
1) Time - I checked the date/time on the iPad - they were within seconds of my mac which sets time automatically on the internet.
2) Password wrong - I downloaded a free app from the store app on the device after entering the password - so the password was fine for a purchase/download after the prompt. (Yet the prompt came back again within 30 minutes)
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the suggestion! I did have two downloads for free songs I got from a card at Starbucks. They started but never came on my iPad (and that was 4 days ago). The store error is happening only yesterday - possible but a long time after the "failed download". I just got those songs after your suggestion on my mac by checking for available downloads. Maybe that was the root cause?
Add rebooting to "here's what it's not" - I forgot to write that down. Also - I was not interested in restoring the iPad - like taking a firehose to water a flower, that certainly would fix it at cost of overkill. (and maybe only until the backup was restored if the file causing the issue is something that would be backed up).
The problem seems to be that the device either doesn't save the password or something is causing it to be periodically marked as bad. Both ideas have me scratching my head. Rebooting didn't resolve the issue - only signing out from the store.

Itunes store password is incorrect

Hi all,
I tried to update my apps, clicked on "update all" and then entered my password. I get a warning message that my Itunes store password was incorrect. Tried several times. Powered off the phone, tried again. Went to itunes on my PC and opened the store, password works fine.
I am using a 3gs with ios 4
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ron

When you change your USER ID (which is generally your E-MAIL), Itunes for some reason gets confused... Any apps, music etc. purchased off the itunes store before you made the change still bring up the original USER ID to update, authorize etc. So if you try and enter the password without changing to the new user ID, even if the account is technically the same, you're going to get "incorrect password" or "can not connect to itunes" or possibly "account doesn't exist". I found this out the hard way when I upgraded from XP to Windoze 7.

Itunes store password required twice

everytime i start itunes (latest version on Windows) it wants my itunes store password twice, can anyone explain this or suggest how i stop it?

Try this,
After iTunes accepts new password, go to
iTunes Menu Store/Select Authorize This Computer.
The response is that it is already authorized.
This will resets the authorization.

ITunes store password popping up

in the past week or so my iPhone has been prompting me to enter my iTunes store password several times a day. Why? It never used to do this.
Message was edited by: colt_777

Have you got an app in there that hasn't finished installing or updating, or some songs from the store? That would be the most likely reason.
If you start to get something from the stores but then lose the network connection you'll get re-prompted for your password when the connection resumes.

New e-mail address, so created new apple id, iTunes store asks for password for old e-mail/apple id

There are lots of posts on this subject over the years about this problem but none of the solutions work for me.
Apple id problems go back many years, if they cant handle that, how do we trust them in security issues?
anyway, here is what it says.
Sign into iTunes store
Enter the Apple ID password for
"old e-mail address"
So I enter the password (same one as before, it works in Mail etc on the iPad, only a problem on iTunes store.
App updates would not work, but they finally did when I did a iPad reset and backup restore.
But the iTunes store apple id problem is still there.
I am a user of Apple since 1982, do not like where things are going, honestly, but they are the only game in town. Not a fan of overly automated system processes with no feeling of "transparency" in the way things happen these days.
Can anyone help? If not I will live with it, but..........this is not the old Apple any more.

It may not be called Express lane any longer, but this is where you find it now: https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
On your old email - Apple does not assume an email will not change. This is why they provide for recovery if you no longer have access to the email. In order for that to work however, you needed to have followed their recommendation and set up your security questions and/or provided a secondary email address. If you not longer have access, they you can try calling Apple and asking for the Account Security Team. If you can convince them you are who you say you are, they may be able to help reset your password.
Are you saying iTunes on your computer is updating all Apps? If so, I don't understand how. Apps purchased on your old Apple ID are able to be updated only using the Apple ID used to purchase or download them. If what you ar esaying is true, I suspect only thos apps tied to your new Apple ID are being checked and updated. If it is happening as you describe, your iPad is the one behaving as it should, not iTunes on your computer.
Please do not take offence to this but it still seems as if you don't understand how the Apple ID works, not just that you don't agree with it. I've refined my analogy a bit, so please bear with me. I am not trying to be condesending but I HAVE tried to made it as simple as possible for anyone else that may read this.
Imagine you buy a house. You have keys to the house and once inside, you buy all the funrniture you need - with one condition - because of some complicated distribution agreements with the furniture manufacturers, the seller mandates that the furniture you buy must be used only in that house.
Some day in the future, you lose the keys to your house so you buy the house next door with its own new set of keys. You go inside the new house and wonder where all your furniture has gone. Simply, you own both houses but
Upset at this situation, you try to recover your keys to your first house by asking the bank to mail them. You once had the chance to give the bank an alternate address to which they could mail keys but didn't so not they can only mail them to the first house. Since you can't get inside, you cannot retrieve the new keys that they send.
After getting some good advice, you decide to talk to visit the bank personally. You convince them you are the owner of house #1 and they give you a new set of keys. Yay!
You go back to house #1 and finally manage to get in. But, since house #2 is newer, you decide to live there. Now you want to move your furniture so you have a comfortable place to sit and sleep. Oops, you can't take the furniture from the old house because of your agreement with the Furniture seller so you have to buy new furniture.
House = Apple ID
Keys = Password
Furniture = Apps and other content purchased with the first Apple ID
Keys = Password
Alternate Address = Alternate Email Address
Furniture Seller = Apple
Furniture Makers = App Developers, Film and Music Rights Holders
You may not agree with this, but the fact is, Apple owns very little of the content they sell - basically only their own apps and iOS itself. Allowing merging of Apple IDs or transfering ownership of Apps from one Apple ID to another is a logistical nightmare and would create major issues with app developers, music and film rights holders and anyone else who provides content for sale through iTunes or the App Store.
You cannot compare a functioning iCloud with non-functioning iTunes and App Stores. iCloud doesn't care about your apps - it's about syncing and identification (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud services like Find My iDevice) only. So long as you are using the same Apple ID on each device, it will sync between them any supported content you decide. In fact you can use a different Apple ID for all there if you wanted. The key is to be CONSISTENT.
One additional thing we have not brought up already. If the iPad was activated with your original Apple ID and you ever need to restore it (not an uncommon possibility), you will run into a problem with Activation Lock. It's a security feature designed to discourage iDevice theft by rendering it useless if one tries to activate it using anything other than the Apple ID used to activate it originally.
Again, you may not agree with how it works, but I hope this finally makes sense and you at least understand how it works.

Apple TV / iTunes store logging in

When I try logging into iTunes store or set up home sharing on my apple tv it keep wanting me to input my apple ID and my password - soon as I do & submit it asks me to do it again... Any help with what I'm doing wrong?

Don't worry the issue isn't with your phone but on Apple ends.
Someone mention in another thread that the app store is down.
So wait until apple resolves the issue.

TS4123 After following ALL apple advise, iTunes store still will not run....

After exhausting all suggestions on the iTunes pages, I still can not get access to the iTunes store. All software is up to date & iTunes has been uninstalled & re-installed with no effect. All functions of the player are fine, but there is no access to the store or the updater. I have also used the "autoruns" program suggested with no help there either.

Apple TV iTunes Store Purchases to iMac

I am trying to figure out how to get music & videos from the iTunes store
through/using Apple TV onto my iMac & iPod.
Many thanks.

Sometimes they sync back to iTunes automatically.
If not right click on the AppleTV device icon in iTunes and choose Transfer purchases.

Finding out when items will be added to Apple TV iTunes store.

Is there any website or place to find out when items are going to be added to the iTunes store. For example I`m currently watching the 3rd season of Bones from the iTunes store on my Apple TV, but there are only the first 12 of the 15 episodes up for sale. How do I find out when the last 3 are going to be added?
Thanks

No one here can answer that question. Discussion of future Apple plans violates the TOU.
Your bank should know - at some level - if or when that might happen.

Auto login issues to iTunes Store password incorrect

Running Windows 7 with iTunes 11. When I open iTunes and it attempts to auto login I get an error message that my password is incorrect (see image below). I can type in the correct password and everything works fine until I close iTunes and reopen it, then I get the same error. Steps I have tried to resolve issue: 1) Logged out of iTunes, 2) deauthorized this computer and reauthorized it, 3) Reset warnings and cache. All to no avail.

When you change your USER ID (which is generally your E-MAIL), Itunes for some reason gets confused... Any apps, music etc. purchased off the itunes store before you made the change still bring up the original USER ID to update, authorize etc. So if you try and enter the password without changing to the new user ID, even if the account is technically the same, you're going to get "incorrect password" or "can not connect to itunes" or possibly "account doesn't exist". I found this out the hard way when I upgraded from XP to Windoze 7.
