Can't reset Apple ID password to download apps to iPhone 4S

I have tried to reset my Apple ID password to download app updates to my iPhone 4S. The 4S will NOT recognize the reset password. My iPad 2 and iTunes (MacBook Pro) WILL recognize the reset password for app updates. Solution??

First you must try to reset your password from the Apple ID support site - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
If all efforts fail here, then you must contact "the iTunes store support", as these are the only people who have access to your Apple ID data.  Technical support does not.
The iTunes store support can only be contacted via email, from their support web site at - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

  • When I attempt to download from the app store, the wrong apple id pre-populates.  How do I get the correct apple id to auto-fill so I can put in the right password and download apps?

    When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com.  She never wrote down the password that was created.  Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one.  When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem.  She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID.  This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada.  However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us.  I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field.  Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use?  How do I change this setting?  I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • My iPad has stopped asking for my apple I'd password when downloading apps.  I want it to ask for password because my kids keep downloading apps without asking.  How do I rectify this?

    My apple I'd has stopped asking for my password when downloading apps to my iPad.  I want it to ask every time.  I edited it unknowingly and I need to change it back.  Please help! Thx

    Assuming that you've got the relevant iOS version on the iPad, then you can change it from a 15 minute period during which it doesn't need to be re-entered to immediately via Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password

    You are going to need to go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to retrieve your iCloud/Apple ID. Once you know your ID, you can log onto Apple - My Apple ID and click on Reset Password to answer the Security Questions you will need to answer. If you don't remember the answers, you will have to contact Apple Support to have them reset: ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS

  • I can't reset my itunes password

    I can't reset my iTunes password because my recovery email is no longer a working email. Can anyone please advise?

    Hello there, thegasclan.
    When you have to reset your iTunes password, and your primary email is no longer a functional email address, the following Knowledge Base article offers up the available options:

    Since you may not know your password and you may not have setup a Recovery Key with two-step verification, your next step is likely to be the following:

    Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.

  • Can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data on an iPod touch

    How can you reset a forgotten password without losing all data. 

    You have to restore from the computer to which it is synced.  Everything on the ipod should be on the computer so it can be put back on the ipod after restore.

  • How can I reset my firmware password?

    Hi when I bought my macbook pro second hand, I didn't realize there was a firmware password for the computer making it impossible to enter the boot options menu. I have tried the password that came with the computer and my user password and neither worked, so how can I reset the password? Is there a general default password? Any way I could do it without going to the apple store as the nearest one is three hours away and I don't have transportation to get there.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can only reset the firmware password if you know it. Also, you need to start from OS X Recovery or the OS X disc in order to reset it, so it's not possible to do anything else. The only thing you can do is to take your computer to an Apple Store or reseller, because there's no way to reset your firmware password that we already know

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).

    Thanks.
