HT1491 My password in iTunes will not work, even after changing it. It keeps showing a window to add PW. I do and it pops up again.

My PW in iTues will not work. Even after changing it. Window pops up and ask for PW. Over and over.

I would be worried about that - but it may turn out to be nothing.
Since you already changed your password, you're probably OK - but I recommend looking at your purchase history to see if there's any unauthorized purchases (use iTunes on your Mac or PC to go to the itunes store, then click your account in the upper-left or upper-right corner). If there are any new purchases that you didn't make, click the button to report problem (and if they happened after you reset your password, you should immediately change your password again).
I think sometimes when you change your password and verifiy your credit card info, it can "reset" the warnings - so it may actually have been you logging in to your own account that caused you to get the warning. But I'm not absolutely sure of that, so it's best to check your purchase history (and reset your password if necessary - but you already did that).
I also recommend turning on "two-step verification" (but Apple makes you wait a few days after changing your password to turn that on). With "two-step verification", Apple will send you a text message with a 4-digit code the 1st time you try to buy something from a new computer - since a hacker won't have your phone, they won't be able to continue (theoretically). After the 1st time, it goes back to mostly working normally (until the 1st time you  try to purchase from another new computer, then you get another text message - so this alerts you to someone, somewhere else, trying to get into your account).

  • Safari Will Not Work Even After Downloading New Version

    Several months ago I experienced a brief power outage and since then Safari has not worked. At All. I have downloaded Safari twice directly from the Apple site and still no luck. THe Software Restore disks with my original OSX package do not seem to work. Any suggestions?
    Been using Firefox but there are some things I prefer about Safari (bookmarks and they way they are handled).

    I clicked on a link in my email this morning and safari opened and then it opened 73 other tabs (I think all my bookmarks). I closed it and when I reopened I get the title bar and beachball not a new page. Activity monitor shows it is using 100% cpu. If I open safari from a link in email it opens normally. I downloaded and installed the latest (same) version from apple, same story. Thank god firefox still works ok. Any ideas? James.

  • Firefox will not open even after update or in safe mode using windows button + R

    Tried solitions given on site using IE. Firefox will not start at all, did latest update and tried safe mode start.
    Only get box stating it has encounterd a problem and crashed. I only use firefox and have so many bookmarks I really don't want to uninstall and start over.

    We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
    #Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
    #In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
    #From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
    #Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
    #Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
    #Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Itunes will not open even after I reinstalled Quick time!!!  Help!

    Okay, I have read lots of information on this site and did everything as instructed, but I am still having problems. I installed the new version of Itunes, then got a "audio configuration problem" message. So, I removed Quicktime and then re-installed Quicktime. I am still getting the same "audio configuration" message! I even tried repairing Itunes in the Add/Remove Programs folder....but it says that Itunes must have Quicktime in order to run. Well, I just reinstalled Quicktime but somehow it is not recognizing it!
    What should I do now? Help!?!?! I want to use my new Ipod.

    I went to and had a copy of the QT/IPOD Installer & I-Tunes software copied to a CD. I loaded the disc using the .exe file and all came up and ran well. Best Buy's Geek squad provided me the files free of charge. I was frustrated for three days until the thought came to mind. I hope this helps.

  • ITunes will not start even after permission repair, disk repair.....

    Let me continue plst files, deleted old install and re-installed, downgraded version, ran disk warrior, tried new user account. Backed up everything re-installed fresh OS, still did not start, installed update plus latest version of iTunes. Still does not start. Called Apple support, did the usual permissions repair etc..... Ran Apple Hardware Test no problems found, TechTools Deluxe no problems, MemTest no problems.
    On hold now waiting for Apple support again. I am assuming at this point there is a unknown hardware issue. Any ideas?

    You really went the extra mile trying to pin down the culprit! So.... who was the culprit anyway? which hub? the keyboard acts as hub, was this powered or un-powered, too? which would be of interest.
    Instead of hub, maybe a PCIe USB2 card?

    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    You may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync its content.

  • After doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all

    hiya!
    I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
    not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
    love, b
