Beginner -can't sign into itunes for first time on Mac.

Hi, I've registered my Apple ID but every time I try to sign in to itunes on my mac book, it says it's the 1st time it's been used and takes me to the payment option page, I don't want to put any payment options in, but can't see any other options, if I cancel , it won't sign me in to my itunes account, so I'm stuck in a vicious circle.
Please help.
Thanks

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, sign-in and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

HT1420 I just realized that I never deauthorized my songs from my old computers. With the "deauthorize all" option, will I lose my songs, or will I just need to sign into itunes the first time I play each song to authorize to my current pc?

Also, is there a way to manage which computers are authorized if I dont have them anymore (select which computers to deauthorize instead of all of the)

You lose nothing.
Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.

Can not sign into itunes get error code 5002

I was able to sign into iTunes, but when attempting to download a song I received error code 5002 and to try back later. Now I Can not sign into ITunes at all and am still getting the code 5002. I've changed my credit card info via store.apple.com but this did not fix the problem. ran diagnostic check and everything is fine. Is this a problem on their end?

I fixed this error for my daughter after a while by working out that the address in her login profile was a different country from the iTunes and App store that she was logging into...
I also blogged about it to try to help others as this took out a good 6 hours of my Christmas evening trying to set up my kid's MBP.

After reinstall can't sign into itunes store

after reinstall can't sign into itunes store

Hi,
you updated to iTunes 11.0.3 (42), and before that, all worked fine?
Instead, now, everytime when iTunes chooses to have you enter your credentials again, they're practically ignored, i.e. the dialog re-opens just like before, like in a time-loop (à la Groundhog Day)... Of course, if you enter something wrong, just to test, you get an error message telling that, but that doesn't help at all.
If so, or even if not, try this:
log out (click on account to do so)
log back in (of course, your Apple ID is empty then!)
you're good for another [insert Apples timeout here]...
Hoo-ray. Really nice, isn't it.
I already filed a bug report; please swamp Apple with more “Thank You”s by clicking iTunes (next to the Apple on the left-hand-side), then “visit iTunes feedback site”, and fill the forms there. Thanks!
HTH, Felix

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Unfortunately, I have tried signing into Itunes for the past hour and keep getting this message: 'We're sorry we cannot complete your request on the itunes store at the time. Please try again later.' I'm using a thinkpad laptop T430. Please help!

I have got the same problem. I am using windows 8.1, latest version of iTunes, Symantec NIS. My internet connection is working.
My apple Id and my password are correct since they work on my iPad and on my iPhone.

When I sign into iTunes for updates, a secondary username appears and I need to enter a password. I am not familiar with the second user name. Any Suggestions?

Are you using iTunes on your iPad or the actual program on a Mac/PC?
If you are using on your iPad check the ID being used by going to Settings>iTunes & App Store if the Apple ID displayed isn't yours tap it and select Sign Out then sign in with your own Apple ID.
If you are referring to iTunes on a Mac/PC select the Store Menu and check the Account Name next to the View Account text, if this isn't you select the Sign Out option directly above it then Sign In with the relevant credentials.

Steve

Changed my Apple Password and still can't sign into iTunes.

I changed my apple id password and now I can't sign into iTunes.

Delete the account (Settings>iCloud>delete account) and add a new one using the new ID.

I can't sign into itunes and complete a purchase

I can't sign into itunes without constantly having to change my password..the system will not let me complete a song purchase without the incorrect password message even though I've changed it 3 times!! help

What is the full text of the message that you are getting ?
Messages about countries usually refer to the country that you have on your iTunes account. You have your correct billing address on your account, and you are in that country ? If you can't log into your account directly on your phone to view/correct your address details (e.g. via Settings > iTunes & App Store), then can you do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com ?

I'm trying to buy iTunes for first time and can't answer security questions.

The page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Can't sign into iTunes - luddite newbie - please help!

Hi,
Just bought an iPod touch refurb, 3G but I haven't upgraded the OS system to 10.5 from the pre-installed 3.1.3 if I'm not misunderstanding things.
I'm running an iMac (2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo) purchased approx Nov 2007 running OS 10.4.11. I've upgraded my iTunes to the 9.2.1 release, set up an Apple ID and when I try to sign in to iTunes I get told the ID hasn't been used on iTunes yet (this much I knew already), I then get asked to review my account details before I'm almost immediately told "Your session has timed out. Try again."
I've done a search for fixes, but if I'm honest, most of it is beyond me technically. Can anyone help please?
Many thanks in advance,
Kev

Call off the dogs!
I used my iPod to sign into iTunes, which then allowed me to create the iTunes account properly, then, hey presto, I was able to sign in to the iTunes store on the mac!
Ace!
