HT201658 App Store Password

My App Store password is different from my Apple ID password.
I hove found how to re-set my Apple ID password (which I don't need to do as I know it), but I cannot find how I retrieve my App Store password.
How do I do this?

OK, to find the iTunes/App Store Apple ID, go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to see if you can retrieve it. You would then change the password the same way you change your primary Apple ID password.
Unfortunately, there is no way to merge the two Apple IDs. I do have some options for you, however:
1.     You can change the password on the iTunes/App Store ID to be the same as the one on your Primary ID, so it won't matter which one is asking for a password
2.     You can start doing all new purchases from the iTunes, App Store, iBooks Store, etc. using your primary ID and stop using your old one altogether. The only time you will need that old ID would be to use the password for it to update apps purchased under that ID, or to Authorize a new computer (you would need to authorize it to both IDs)
3.     You can also simply delete and re-purchase (or re-download, if free) any apps, music, etc. you purchased with the old ID, and just abandon it altogether
Best of luck!

  • Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password

    Hi
      My Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password, not sure if it is BUG of Iphone 5 or I OS6 . Do I need to exchange my device?

    It happened to me as well. Once in App Store and once in Flight+ app. It happens where the keys QWERTY is on the keypad. I assume it is a software bug in the OS. However, I don't eliminate the possibility of a hardware issue with my device since I dropped it on a hard carpet floor from waist height. No appearance damage but not sure about any internal damages. I will update this thread when I get more updates

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

  • How can I retrieve my App Store password

    I used a different ID to purchase from App Store, now I can't remember the password for my Apple ID. The problem is, I can't update any apps purchased with that ID. Require immediate help to recover my forgotten password.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    See if you can get the password reset via this page : http://forgot.apple.com

  • App Store-password request redundancy

    Anyone have an issue with the App Store in that it requests you enter my password each time you access the store?  This happens each time, irregardless if you are making a purchase or not.  In some cases it will ask it will request 2 or 3 times...  This occurrence is new to me and its done this for the last 2-3 weeks?? Not sure if I have a security issue or if something's changes and I missed the notice....Any insight regarding this would be great appreciated, Thanks

  • Possible to save app store password ?

    I'm starting to collect a few Apps from the App Store. As it is now I have to manually enter my Apple ID password everytime I download a new app.
    Is it possible to have the password automatically saved/applied ? Not a major issue but the password complexity makes it difficult to key in again & again.

    You will find that if you download more than one app or whatever, one right after another, you will not have to re-enter the password. That only lasts for about a minute or so between downloads, but it's helpful. You also need to be careful about hitting that "Buy" button right after you just bought something, because it will be bought and downloaded without any further confirmation.

  • Save Mac App Store password?

    I am the primary tech for a school with roughly 200 Mac computers. I'd like to update as many as possible to Mavericks so I created an image with all of the free apps that are commonly used by the students/teachers (downloaded most from the app store). I'd like to allow those apps to update without my intervention but I absolutely can not give out the password for the school's Apple account (which has a credit card linked). Is there any way to save the password for downloading and updating free apps without allowing purchases? Any help will be appreciated.

    Launching App Store does NOT ask for my password.  Browsing, even my installed apps, and checking for updates does NOT ask for my password.
    Only buying something wants my password.
    You can always change your Apple ID password to something a little more memorable.  If you want to keep it secure, make part of it unique but easy to remember, and then add some repetitive padding that extends its length.  Password length is what makes a brute force attack difficult to crack.

  • ITunes Store and App Store password suddenly 'incorrect' ?

    Hi all,
    I switched my TV onto the Apple TV tonight to watch a TV episode and found that my Mac Mini server wasn't showing up.  iTunes is running but when I turned off Home Sharing and turned it back on, my Apple ID password wasn't accepted.  The password didn't work in the Mac App Store either.
    At that point, the same password worked fine on the Apple Support Communities.
    I reset my password and logged back into the Apple Support Communities - all worked OK (old password didn't work, so it's definitely changed).
    Still iTunes and the Mac App Store won't accept my password.
    What's going on?  Anyone else having this problem?

    Forgot to mention - iCloud login in System Preferences works fine with the new password, further confirmatin that the password has definitely been changed.

  • App store password disabled ??

    Tried to update 2 apps on my iPad2.   Pop up window says "Apple ID has been disabled" with no explanation given.  Reset password where needed.  Still does not allow me into APP store.  Any suggestions.  Or who do I call?   ha ha   Got into App store on computer.

    I had bought a 4.99  app, but PayPal invoice charged 9.98 which I immediately disputed, since actual app name not on their invoice. The next day an Apple invoice arrived showing 2. $4.99 apps purchased.  I had purchased another 4.99 app days before, and it appears it took several days for invoices to be generated,which I find unusual. 
    Looks like this is being resolved by Apple, and I received an immediate response to my query and password reset.
    I guess the moral to this story is give it a bit more time before disputing immediately.  This  has been more time consuming than anticipated.
    Again thanks Carolyn and Apple.

  • App Store password

    I have been using my sisters apple ID but now I made my own. I don't want anything to do with her account. I switched my iCloud and iTunes to my new account yet in the app store it still asks for her apple ID. I don't want to lose my apps and things I have stored in my phone. How do I get it to stop asking for her account password?

    What you want to do isn't possible. Her Apple ID can't be removed from your iPhone without deleting every application associated with it.

  • Is there any way to store your app store password?

    I'm new to the whole Apple scene, so be kind
    As the title states, is there any way to store my password so that I don't have to enter it in every time I download an app from the app store?  So far, I've only used free apps and it asks for the password every time...a bit annoying, right?
    Thanks in advance!

    ..Tcodes SP01. SP02 etc are used for spool . Any one can use this tcodes
    TSP01 is the table.
    Any of your objects that you give for print are stored as spools in this Tcode. Sometimes based on the attributes you set spool gets created and then deleted. Or you can retain the spool.
    Goto SP01 and give your Uname and you can check the spool id's over there. Click on them to see the content.

    You can maintain the spools: delete, print, save local file etc.

  • IOS 5 download/app store password no longer works

    I downloaded iOS 5 and now my password won't work in the app store when I try to update my apps. But the password works when I log out and in again on the phone and in iTunes on my computer. The only time it stops working is when the app store asks me to use it. I reset it a couple times and made sure when I signed in via iPhone and computer that all the info is the same. What is going on? I see this until I got prompted to reset my password:

    Just migrated to my new 4s phone and after sync'ing the App Store is rejecting my password same as you.
    I've logged out on my iTunes on my computer and on my phone, logged back in and resynced. No luck.
