  • I've just changed my Apple ID so therefore would like to gain access to my music in ITunes .upon tryin it says that I must wait 90 days to access my old iTunes account

    Can I access my old ITunes account or must I wait 90 days ??

    Sure, you can buy new things.  You just can't re-download past purchases for 90 days after changing the AppleID used with a computer, as the link provided by ChitlinsCC discusses.  To avoid this problem make sure you always have backups of all purchases you make which is a good idea in any case in case a distributor pulls an item from the store whereby you won't be able to redownload it.

  • If I changed my Apple ID password on my iphone then log into itunes on my phone with that new password, would it automatically sync to my laptop or would i need to put the new password into my laptop also?

    If I changed my Apple ID password on my iphone then log into itunes on my phone with that new password, would it automatically sync to my laptop or would i need to put the new password into my laptop also? My laptop got stolen so I changed my password and wanted to be sure it's safe to enter in the new one on my phone. I don't want it to snyc to my laptop.

    Hi loro,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that your laptop was stolen. Changing your password was a good step. 
    Entering your new password on your iPhone will not affect the laptop, as mentioned in this article:
    Apple ID: Changing your password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5624
    The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
    Best Regards,

  • ITunes 11.0.3 asks for password again and again, have re-done my credit card details, have changed my Apple ID password, tried to log in and out of iTunes, none of thos seem to work, just keeps happening without end, please help

    I have tried to re-install iTunes 11.0.3 at least 6 times.
    I have also downloaded iTunes 11.0.3 at least 5 times.
    I have changed my Apple ID password.
    I have downloaded (again, I've done that many times) iTunes 11.0.3, then I switched off the iMac, then restarted the wi-fi modem.  Switched on the iMac, loaded iTunes, same problem.
    I tried to just switch off the wi-fi, did the same as point above, same problem.
    Even tried to change the system date to 2038, this only seemed (although I doubt it) to fix the "not responding" issue which I had this morning.
    The Apple ID password issue, where it asks me for the password loads and loads of times (probably 50 times or more), one after the other has been happening for about 3 days now.
    Here is a copy of my message problem:
    iTunes Problem, can't seem to find a solution online.
    I am running OS X 10.8.3 on an iMac, have just loaded iTunes 11.0.3 a few days ago.
    Firstly, I'd open iTunes and it would immediately say it was not responding, I'd have to force quit, try again, re-boot, try again etc.  I tried re-installing iTunes, changing password, everything to no avail, then changed my date to 2038, and voila it started responding (no, don't ask me, I just read in online and was desperate enough to try it).  Of course, I don't believe that this actually helped, I would like to know what did help or if there is something specific one needs to do to fix this.
    I have not been able to get rid of this problem:  Whenever I try to make a purchase it asks for my Apple ID password, dozens of times until I give up and press cancel, cancel, cancel.
    Why does it do this?  I don't want to purchase anything because I can't keep typing in my password again and again.  I'm not exaggerating.
    As I mentioned, I have tried to re-install iTunes, about 6 times, and I changed my password.  I still get the same problem.
    Also, my iTunes still looks like the classical iTunes and doesn't have the new interface.
    Has anyone experienced this and was able to fix it, or does anyone know what the problem is?  Please help, I'm at my wits end.

    Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

    Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
    I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
    1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
    2. Delete the app.
    3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
    4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
    5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
    6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
    7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
    My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
    Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

  • I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address.  I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

    Please help.  I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud.  I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work.  I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work.  I do not know how to fix this problem.  I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID.  I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot.  I am starting to hate Mac.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Just changed my apple id password  and now I cant log into facetime

    I just changed my apple id password  and now I can't log into facetime, it doesnt accept my new password.

    Hey there caribbeanbeach,
    It sounds like you are not able to log into FaceTime after changing your Apple ID password. I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article to help you troubleshoot the issue:
    FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
    Activating FaceTime for Mac
    Use your Apple ID to register and use FaceTime. FaceTime registration validates your Apple ID and email address for use with FaceTime.
    If you are unable to activate FaceTime, try the following:
    Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website.
    Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
    Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
    If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I recently changed my apple id password and I was prompted to enter the new password onto icloud on my mac. The problem is whenever i try to press enter or forgot password or sign out or pretty much anything, it just makes a sound.

    It won't let me do anything, I can even try to minimize the window. I tried shutting down my computer and it still pops up. Also, because of this, I can't access anything else in my system preferences. Help!

    Hello, I realize this solution is long overdue however I'm posting my solution to help others.  I JUST had the exact same problem.  I recently changed my apple ID password.  Everything accepted the new password except my MAC.  When I booted up my Macbook pro, a message would pop up saying "cannot Back my MAC."  Something like that.  Then I would be prompted, within system preferences, to enter my password.  Both my new and old passwords wouldn't work.  I couldn't sign out, seek help, click on "forget" and every time I tried something, it would make the "noise" and just shake the message box. 
    After several failed attempts to fix based on forum suggestions and google research, I stumbled upon a solution myself.  I went into iCal, Address Book, and Mail and manually deleted iCloud from each of these.  Then I added iCloud back to each of them, using my new password, and the verification worked!!  I rebooted my MAC and the same message came up "cannot Back my MAC."  I was once again prompted to enter my apple ID password and the new password was accepted!!  I rebooted one more time to be sure.  Everything was synced.
    I hope this helps someone else out there.  Very frustrating when something so simple, like a password change, can wreak so much havoc!!!

  • HT3728 how do I change my Apple Extreme password

    how do I change my Apple Extreme password

    It is extremely unlikely that someone has guessed your password unless you used something really obvious like "your name", "password", "default", etc as the password.
    It might first make sense to find out how many devices are connected to your wireless network. If you "see" 4 devices, and you only own 3, then you might have an unwanted guest on the network.
    To find out....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you double click on the AirPort Exteme icon
    Look at the number of currently connected wireless devices (Clients). You can perform this check from time to time to keep tabs on your wireless network.
    If the speed on your network has slowed down, there are likely other wireless networks around you that are interfering with your signal. You need to restart the AirPort Extreme again so that it will automatically scan and select the best available channel to use at the time.
    To do this, simply pull the power plug from the back of the AirPort Extreme, wait 10-15 seconds, and then plug it back in.
    If you want to change the password for the network, open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Extreme icon, then click Edit in the small window that appears.
    Now click the Wireless tab at the top of the window.
    Edit out the Wireless Password and type in then new password, then do the same to Verify Password.
    I would also recommend that you change the Wireless Network Name.
    Click the Update button at the lower right to save the changes.

  • Basically my phone was in my bag an someone sent my mum an iMessage saying 'can't talk now... I'll ring later' off my iMessage. How is that possible? Is someone hackin my iPhone 4s? I change my Apple ID password but I'm terrified

    Basically my phone was in my bag an someone sent my mum an iMessage saying 'can't talk now... I'll ring later' off my iMessage. How is that possible? Is someone hackin my iPhone 4s? I change my Apple ID password but I'm terrified because someone is sending my mum messages off my account!

    Nothing to worry about. If you open Settings and scroll down and tap Phone, you will see "Respond with Text" and one of the standard replies on mine is "Can't talk right now ... I'll call you later." I would guess that a button got hit while in your bag.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and validated it OK but when I try to update or download apps now it asks me to enter password and then says it's not been validated.  how do I get out of this?

    I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it.  Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore.  if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
    A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address.  The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
    Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?

    Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
    Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
    CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch.

  • Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s on February 2013 at the Grand Central Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Thanks

    Hi! My phone speaker is not working, so I cant hear people when they call me. I bought my iphone 4s con February 2013 in the Grand Central (NYC - USA) Apple Store. I would like to know if I can take it to an Apple Store in Spain so they can fix it or change it. Or I need to find a way to take it to the US, where I bought it.
    Thanks!!!

    You will need to return the phone to the US. iPhone warranty is only good in the country of purchase, with the exception of the EU.

  • I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

    I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud.  In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it.  Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

    If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
    In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
    To contact  iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
