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.

    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.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • TS1368 when I try to download an app on my new ipod 2, it saids app will be available for download when you login to your itunes store on your computer, nut my account is logon. Whats going on?

    when I try to download an app on my new ipod 2, it saids app will be available for download when you login to your itunes store on your computer, nut my account is logon. Whats going on?

    On your computer go to iTunes>Store>Check for Available Downloads like the message says. For some reason it will not download directly on your iPod.

  • App Store Login Apple ID Not Found/Password Incorrect?

    So every time I go to install an application, I enter my password and I get this error:
    "The Apple ID or AOL screen name you entered couldn't be found or
    your password was incorrect. Please try again"
    So I then go to iTunes on my Mac, click on "Account" in the iTunes store, and I get the exact same error. I'm 100% positive I'm entering the correct password.
    I click "Forgot Password" and then reset it back to what it is EXACTLY, and everything is fine, until the next day.
    The password will work on anything else (mail, apple.com login, etc.) just not anything to do with the iTunes store.
    Why do I have to reset my password every day!?

    I have been dealing with the exact same problem. Trying to access my account (in iTunes, or the myinfo site, or ESPECIALLY from the AppStore app on my 3G iPhone) results in the standard "account doesn't exist or password incorrect" error. Occasionally I get the "account disabled for security reasons" error. I assume this is because sometimes while frustratedly trying to use my account I exceed the max # of failed login attempts and Apple locks the account.
    The only workaround (which is no workaround at all) is to do as you have: reset my password every few hours. I experimented with checking the interval before the password is mysteriously invalidated - it seems to be between 3-4 hours after a last successful login (I don't know if this is an absolute interval, i.e. your password is invalidated after this time period regardless of your successful login activity or if there has to be a period of inactivity to trigger the password invalidation).
    I talked with phone support and after the usual reset-your-password flowchart walk-through was directed to the iTunes email support page. Typed in my problem details and 72 hours after the absolutely guaranteed reply time of 24 hours have yet to receive any reply.

  • Auto-login issues since Restoring to new iPod Touch

    I recently purchased the new iPod Touch 32GB and restored all of my settings from my previous iPod onto this one. My previous Touch was also on 3.0.
    Since the upgrade I have had constant issues with the auto-login web feature at my local Starbucks. It sits on the "Connecting" screen and then eventually fails. Then I have to choose to connect to the network (because it automatically disconnects wifi when the login fails). Then when I connect a second time it brings me directly to the login screen where I can enter my account info and choose to save it to auto-login in the future. The problem is that it never seems to work the next day when I try to connect again.
    My previous iPod Touch never had issues with the auto-login feature. And let me tell you that it is frustrating that there is no cancel from the dimmed "connecting" screen. I have to wait 4-5 minutes for it to realize it's not working.
    I have already tried:
    -Clearing Cache
    -Clearing Cookies
    -Clearing Autofill Names and Passwords
    Any help would be awesome!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ITunes Store Password

    I'm trying to download an app on my iphone but it tells me that the iTunes password I've entered is incorrect. That being said, using the password I tried for the app download I am able to successfully login to my iTunes account. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I need to do to fix it?

    I would say, next time at your computer, ensure you are logged into the iTunes store on the computer before syncing your phone. The iPhone gets this info from they sync and only gets it if you are logged into the iTunes store when you sync.
    Then try again.

  • Issues in iTunes Store with iTunes for Mac

    Couple issues related to Browse Mode in iTunes Store. Does anyone else find these very annoying?
    1. The Back Button in iTunes Store goes back to main Music Screen instead of back to the browser where you left off. Extremely annoying...
    2. In browse mode, when you click on an album and bring it up, you cannot listen to any song from the song list without leaving browse mode, hense, problem number 1 above applies again...
    Any solutions?
    Thanks,
    Jaxmanjoe

    This is a question a number of people have asked: this thread poses a solution (which I haven't tried) -
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8888059&#8888059
    I would be cautions recommending his suggestion to amend the actual feed file - you would do this by adding an 'itunes:author' tag in the top section - because if you do this it will be overwritten on the next publish, so you will have to keep doing it. If his method within iTunes doesn't work please do post back.
    You won't get an instant result in the Store, so the way to check is to carry out his method, publish, then control-click on the 'subscribe' button and choose 'download linked file' or equivalent. Then drag this file to the TextEdit icon and look for the itune:author tag in the top section (before the first 'item' tag).
