When we go to apple tv to rent a movie, the only movies showing up are those we have purchased.  We cannot see movies to rent.  I went to sign in and it is not recognizing my appleid or password. help!

Hello PJ
Make sure that you have verified your Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. When you use your Apple ID with iTunes for the first, it will want to verify that Apple ID to ensure security.

  • IPad will not let me sign into my Skype says does't recognize user name or password

      IPad will not. Recognize my Skype name or password

    Hello,
    This issue does not have anything to do with Apple. I would check out Skype's website for this information.

  • Apple TV will not give me a "password sign in" for iTunes even though it recognizes that my password is wrong (it's new). Help!

    Hi letjimdoit,
    If you are unable to get to the screen that allows you to enter your password on your Apple TV, you may want to first try restarting the Apple TV. Use the steps in this aricle -
    Apple TV: How to restart your Apple TV
    If the same issue continues after restart, you may want to restore the Apple TV. See this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password.

    Since upgrading to os x maverick, my FaceTime won't let me sign in and continues to prompt me to put in my iCloud password. It sometimes asks me to put it in 5-6 times and then it gives me an error saying that the program certification is revoked or expired. I live overseas and previously utilized FaceTime to talk to my girlfriend.

  • Error in iCal: The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "Gmail."

    To keep my iCal up to date on two computers, I export an Archive in one and import it to the other. Yes, I know I should use the Cloud, but humour me.
    Export of iCal from my MacBook Air (OS 10.7.5) no longer works when imported to my desktop (OS 10.6.8). It returns an error saying "The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “Gmail.” Make sure you enter them correctly."
    After dismissing this dialogue box twice (it offers no other options, iCal crashes.
    I've turned off the option on my MacBook that asks to use my Gmail account, but since I can no longer launch iCal on my desktop, it can't import new data. How can I clean out the brain of iCal on the desktop so that it will open -- blank -- and perhaps accept a new version of my iCal data?
    Thanks,

  • Had my XP o/s replaced and now unable to sync with Firefox Favorites on the web - does not recognize my account name and password.

    I am after having my XP operating system refreshed trying to regain access to numerous favorite bookmarks held on the internet server(s). I have tried sync'ing via the Firefox mechanism but it does not recognize my account name or password. It is possible I used another software other than Mozilla's to back up my Favorites in bookmarks. However, baring that, I cannot access all the data in order to reconnect to it.

    '''''"... But I have my laptop next to me, signed in to sync ..."'''''
    Which version of Firefox?
    Firefox 29 brought a new version of Sync ''[a year ago]'', so if you are using an older version of Firefox on that laptop, see this KB article - [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
    You'll need to update Firefox on that Laptop to continue using Sync on it after updating your Sync account.

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups

  • Please help  I am suddenly getting the following on my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account "..." Make sure you enter them correctly.  I depend on it for work

    Please help  I am suddenly getting the following from my calendar  The server did not recognize your user name or password for account “...” Make sure you enter them correctly.I have even tried changing the password and no luck.  I depend on it syncing with mobile me and my phone and I need it for work.

    I have been having the same issue but I think I fixed my problem.  In iCal, click iCal, Preferences, Accounts and retype your password.  That seems to have done the trick for me as far as I can tell.

    You really should not post your email address to a public forum such as this where it can be harvested by spammers. I requested the Hosts edit it for your protection.

  • Unable to email photos, receive a statement that the server does not recognize my username and or password, have checked multiple times that these are correct

    I am unable to e-mail  photos, receive a statement saying that the werever does not recognize my username and or password. I have checked multiple times and these are correct.

    The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
    That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
    If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
    Have you tried to set "From"  pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses?  If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

  • When I am trying to sign in to iTunes Store. I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID mail which does not belong to me... I can't connect to iTunes store and my Viber and Facetime are not active.

    My Apple ID was disabled. I reseted it successfully. Afterwards, when I am trying to update the pending apps in App Store on my phone, in order to sign in to iTunes Store I am requested to enter a password to the wrong Apple ID which definitely does not belong to me ('[email protected]'). Of course, I don't know this password and, consequently, I can't connect to Itunes Store on my Iphone. As a result my Viber and Facetime are not active in the meanwhile. What should I do? Thanks in advance for kind help and solution.

    Where did you get this iPhone?
    Was it new or second hand?
    You have to sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID and password.
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > do it here.

    Hi! I got my Apple ID just today and I am satisfied with everything but when I want to sign in to iTunes using my new Apple ID but it says this account hasn't been reviewed before and once I click OK it takes me to setup a new Apple ID and it does that everytime I want to sign in. Do I need to get a new Apple ID or something? Please help anyone
