I can't load a free app due to password issues

I have not been able to load any apps.  I keep having to reset my password and it works with everything except the app store.

Did you sign out and sign back in to your Apple ID using the new password?
Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on your Apple ID and sign out. Then sign back in using the correct password.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • ITunes Truly Epitomizes Definition of Insanity since can't download free apps due to Technical Difficulties and iTunes says to try again later and get same results

    iTunes truly epitmizes the Definition of Insanity.   I can't even download free apps.  iTunes says they are having technical difficulties.  What an understatement.  iTunes makes everyone go crazy by saying to try again later.  When we try again, same result. 

    Ha!
    I've been saying that iTunes is a "@#8*!^8 crazy *#!" ever since I reinstalled it, LOL!
    I had that thing, just about *duct-taped and stuffed between the attic rafters* for the past 3 years,
    and never missed it.
    Then...well...I told my husband, that I must've incurred an Aneurysm during sleep...because for some reason, the %*@$! has now reappeared, and is just as OCD and Hyper, as it was when I had it
    *locked up*!
    But my husband keeps swearing that I re-downloaded it, because I missed hearing my favorite
    pod-shows.
    Anyhoo...since, I've re-inflated it, I've only used it for 1/2 an evening, before I gave a yell, and pulled the plug on it, yet again!
    A.n.y.t.i.m.e I tried to do ANYTHING, that crazy &#tc+ was right there...and I swear that I could hear a hyper never-pausing-for-breath 'voice', which seemed to shrill:
                        "Can I do it, huh, huh? Can I open, huh? huh? I wanna do it, I wanna I wanna!!
                         "Prrlleaaase! I just wanna open it!! You know I can!  So can I, huh huh!!"
    So it's *locked-up under my porch crawl space* until....well....until... (0;
    I actually just came on here to say that, during the 3 or so hours that I attempted to reason with that Demento, I was never able to access the iTunes Store, either.
                             "I can't access the iTunes Store.
                              It must be busy, so I'll try again later."
    And while it was trying to convince of that, I managed to get in and out of the iTunes Store, about 3 separate times...and had managed to listen and download about 5 or so pods...but it just kept repeating that same line.
    Like its dose of Lithium had worn off, and now it was just about ready to show me its
    *Alvin the Chipmunk Alter-Persona*...
    But it never got the chance.
    I haven't heard a peep out if since, LOL!
    I figure there's enough to keep me occupied on here...so if doesn't behave itself soon....
    Yeah...you KNOW what I'm talkin' bout, LOL!
    Well, I gots to go now, but you have yourself, a fabulous weekend!

  • Apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

    apps store wont let me download free app due to previous purchasing problem? help!!

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill ? If it's not then that might be the reason that you are getting the security code error : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • How can I only allow free apps to be downloaded?

    How can I only allow free apps to be downloaded to my IPhone 4S?

    Sorry, but there's no way I know of to restrict downloading to free apps only. You can turn off purchasing of apps completely, but if purchasing is allowed, it's open other than by age range. You can of course remove any purchase method, but I don't believe that blocks the purchase; you just end up owing money.
    Regards.

  • I can't download a free app

    I can't download a free app. The phone told me to sighn in after sighting in the phone said that I need to use another panther payment method when I only have one please do something

    We're just regular users and don't pay your way, so we can't do something. What you need to do is make sure your AppleID is up and active. This entails having a positive balance on it or having enabled an accepted payment method. This is on a country-by-country basis. Acceptable payment methods in the USA are not the same as those acceptable in, say, India.
    Until the AppleID is fully activated, you can't use it to download apps of any kind, free or not. And that's the only way the App Store is gonna give them up.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I used a 25 dollar gift card on my account and I spent it all and now I can't even download free apps is there a way to fix this?

    I used a 25 dollar gift card on my account and I spent it all and now I can't even download free apps is there a way to fix this?

    Did you enter a credit card when you created your Apple ID? If you created the ID and never entered a credit card, but used a gift card from the start, you probably didn't create the account correctly. The bottom line is that you have to enter a credit card now. You don't have to use it, but I'm assuming that's why you can't download free apps. You still need to enter the credit card because you didn't creat your Apple ID the correct way for not using a credit card.

  • HT3702 My Payment Method That Is On Fill Is Correct And My Security Code Is Correct You All Are Telling Me That It Is Invaild And I Can Not Download No Free Apps From The Apps Store!!!!!!!!

    My Payment Method That Is On Fill Is Correct And My Security Code Is Correct You All Are Telling Me That It Is Invaild And I Can Not Download No Free Apps From The Apps Store!!!!!!!!

    The short answer is no.
    Unless you are selling the app via the Enterprise Deployment option, everyone has to download via their own iTunes account ID. Yes, iTunes can be used by multiple IDs but this makes it very messy to resolve later.
    What kind of app is this? Which Expo? If an Expo for selling apps has poor Internet connection I would question the validity of using such an expo in the first place.

    I had the same problem. Go back into Verizon Tunes. At the bottom of the screen you should see 3 dots. Touch them and that will bring up additional choices, one being Downloads. In the Downloads choice is 2 bars. One bar is Pending Downloads (aka Music Inbox) the other bar shows your download history.

    How can I download a free app with an existing Apple ID without to give my credit card infos?! The ID ist already made...

    Sorry, but you can't. The process only works when creating a new Apple ID. With an existing ID you'll have to provide a payment method at least temporarily.

  • Why can't I download free apps? It asks my payment info every time I try to download.

    Why can't I download free apps? Every time it try to download free apps it ask me my payment options.

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • How can I try non free apps before buy them?

    Well the question is simple: How can I try non free apps before buy them?
    thanks

    That's why some developers offer a free "light" version after which you then either buy a full version or add features via an in-app purchase. But if the developer doesn't offer such a limited version, then there is no way to try an app before paying for it, and no refunds unless the app is defective or falsely advertised.
    Regards.
