Constantly Having to Change iTunes Account Password, and I do mean Constantly!

I am being told that I have to reset my password constantly.
I am certain that I am entering it correctly.
I don't ever get chances, I enter it and bang - reset.
Over and over and over and over and over again.
Any ideas anyone would like to share?

Erase the drive and then install Snow Leopard. If you just reinstall the OS, it won't erase the existing files.

ITunes account password and iCloud

My partner and I have been using home sharing to access the same itunes library on my laptop.
I have now enabled itunes Match and I wanted to enable my partner's laptop to access my itunes Match library now.
I had a Mobile Me account which I migrated to the icloud sometime ago. I understand that I can log my partner's itunes library into my itunes account and that should enable access to the itunes Match library?
However will that then give access to the rest of my icloud such as emails etc? Will the password be stored in the keychain?
Ideally I would like to create a separate itunes account that we could both then use that is separate from my main icloud id and password but if I do that what will happen with access to all the purchases I already made using my icloud apple id?
Is there a way of dealing with this without me having to give out my main icloud appleid account and password?
Any ideas/help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

itunes match and icloud are separate services that a lot of people think they need the same apple ID for.
My recommendation:
keep your icloud account (mail, contacts, calender... former mobileme) account information the same as it is currently. I would change my username and password for the itunes account (via itunes on your laptop or destop) to a different username and password from your icloud [former mobileme] account in order to share your itunes stuff but not your mail, contacts, etc.
these two services are then able to be logged in separately on your apple devices (i have a separate icloud account than itunes account both on my iphone, so that I can share my media with my wife but have my own address book and email account on my iphone and she has her own on her iphone). let me know if this is confusing

I forget my itunes account password and i have a new computer and it has been 6 months and i keep sending emails to my email from the iforget page but they never come with my password?

3 years ago on an older version of itunes when you could hook your ipod to a friends computer and get their songs added to your library on your ipod then take them home and add them to your computer i took some of my friends songs. at christmas i got a new laptop and plugged my ipod into the computer to add all my ipod songs onto this new computer. it asked for her password to her account but she forgets the password. so, i went to the iforgot password thing and have had multiple emails sent to my email for 6 months and none have ever came. how do i just skip her songs all together? i am so done with this.

If you use the backup, your new stuff will be erased.

HT1918 will i lose my music and apps when i change itunes account

can i change itunes account info and keep all my downloaded music?

Why would you make a new itunes account?
All of your purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchasd. You will need to authorize your computers for that account.

I've changed the account password...

I've changed the account password and now the system ask me to confirm the CC number again.
I've already done this when I've installed itunes on a new PC and i've been charged 1.98 euro.
I'll be charged again? (and this will be the third time...)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Paolo

Thank you for your answer.
The first time I was charged 2 days ago when I registred my iPhone, and the second one 1 day ago when I installed iTunes on my new PC.
I'll wait some days to check again...

Why did my Apple TV password stop working suddenly and why does changing my iTunes account password online not fix the problem?

My iTunes account password suddenly stopped working. Strangely, it still works when I sign into iTunes but does not work when I try to purchase a movie through Apple TV. I followed the instructions to change my password and that still didn't fix the problem. Anybody encounter this? What's frustrating is that Apple wants to charge me a fee for tech support. You mean I have to pay them to help me give them more money to buy temporary content through my Apple TV? Anywho, please assist if you can.

Have you tried restarting, the Apple TV, your router and your mac or PC.

HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address. The correct email shows in my Apple account. Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address. My email address is right under my Apple ID. How do I get this corrected?

Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption. I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
That is good. In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it. All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts. One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID. But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple. As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out. Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

We have an Apple id that has a bunch of purchased music on it, but our children have changed the account details and the password, and the secret questions and now we can't remember any of that information, even our birthdays are not correct. HELP???

we have an apple ID that was set up in my wife's name. The kids have changed the account details and no-one can remember the password. They have also changed the account data and none of our birthdays are recognised by apple. We have no way of re-setting the account. The secondary email address we used when setting up the account is no longer accessible so even this option doesnt work..
What can we do as we have a large amount of purchased music on this account???

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.

You updated your AppleID with new email address or you created a new AppleID account?

Can't you try the email option instead?

I recently changed my aol password and now I cannot get mail. When I go to settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars the accounts portion is grayed out and will not let me open. How do I fix this problem?

I recently changed my aol password and right after I changed, I cannot get mail. I get a a pop up block that says, Cannot Get Mail, the user name or password for AOL is incorrect, settings, OK. I go to settings as suggested but the account area is grayed out and will not let me open. Need help on how to fix this problem. I tried sync with my PC and that did not help either.

It sounds like you might need to contact Yahoo! if you aren't able to setup your email account as a new account after deleting it.
I found some links on the Yahoo! website that might help:

Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime. It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!

Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

TS1292 When I input code it just keeps asking for iTunes account password over and over again not loading card

I got a £25 iTunes gift card for my birthday and I have tried to redeem it but it is not working. I don't know if it's not activated but there is no message saying that the card is not inactive and I have checked all the letters and numbers and I have entered them correctly. When I enter the code it asks me to enter my iTunes account password I do that and then it just brings up the box to enter the password again over and over again... Hope someone can help! Thanks!
