It amazes me that in so many cases like this there are significant grammatical and spelling errors, such that no business of note would have failed to correct.

ITunes will not accept my Apple ID and Password via Apple TV
Hi there. My Apple ID and Password work perfectly well on my computer and allows access to the iTunes store. However, when I try logging into the iTunes store to rent a movie on my Apple TV it keeps on saying Apple ID or password not recognised (or words to that effect). Any ideas anyone. It's been like this for ages and is driving me nuts! (I updated the Apple TV software today).
Thank you.
GrahamI seem to remember seeing something similar when I first connected mine. My userid/pwd were constantly rejected when I tried to rent a movie, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. However when I reentered the exact same details under the ATV settings menu and then went back to rent the movie it was fine, and has been ever since. Am not in front of the unit so I can't remember which option it was under the settings menu but it was pretty obvious...

I changed my AppleID and password on the Apple web site but when I try to sign in on my touch it asks me to enter the password for my old Apple ID, how do i get ICloud to recognize my new ID?
Hi appledapple1964,
After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

HT5625 How do I delete an old Apple ID and password from my IPhone 5?
An old User ID keeps popping up and I have had this old ID deleted almost a year ago How do I delete this old ID again?
Thank you.How to change the Apple ID on my iOS Device
Settings > iTunes & App stores.
Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
Settings > Facetime.
Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
Settings > Messages.
Turn off iMessages, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on. Go to 'Receive messages at' and then tap your Apple ID. Sign out of the old ID, then sign in with new Apple ID.
Settings > iCloud.
Delete the account (make sure to KEEP the information on your phone), then turn it back on with new Apple ID.
Also, delete any apps that were downloaded with the 'old' Apple ID, then reinstall them with your 'new' ID. -
When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software. How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?
You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

my iphone 4s wont turn back on after the battery died, have tried all the steps, still not working. contacted my network provider they said to send it in but before that turn off find my iphone. I am unable to do so as ive forgotten my apple id and password, i have followed the steps and im stuck as i do not know what name and last name i put when registering with icloud as i didnt want to give out such information at the time,(as in i made up the name n last name).
Can anyone help me???That my friend is why you don 't make up a lie; you get yourself stuck in this kind of circle.
First; how do you forget the apple id and password, that apple id is most likely an > EMAIL < address that you /PERSONALLY/ put into the device to sign up for the service. Once you remember your own email; you need to go to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid for further assistance on resetting your password
You don't need the first and last name; it just makes it a lot harder to locate your account if you REALLY can't remember
If you cannot find any infomation then you sir are SOL; -
How do I deleat my Apple ID and password off an old phone I've sold
II've sold and old iphone on ebay. The buyer is telling me he can't purchase anything from iTunes as my Apple ID us still on the phone. what can I do?
It sounds as if they did not restore the phone to remove your apps, and neither did you. They may have also run into Activation Mode and that is why it is asking for your Apple ID and password. See this support document to see if it helps the situation. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
