I've changed my Apple ID password and now it won't let me download updates.

For reason, I had to change my password to access the iTunes store etc.  When I try and input that p/w to access software updates for iMovie and iPhoto, I get the following message (roughly)
This ID is assigned to another Apple device....if you cannot access the Apps store with that devicee, you will have to purchase the software (updates).
I buy on iTunes with that p/w....and now I can't even use iPhoto because I've got an older version (or soemthin!) and I can't get the uipdates.

It helps if you fill in the profile information so that we know what model Mac and version of OS X it is running.
All the at you did was change the password you are using and the Apple ID stayed the same?
Did you ever accept these iLife apps into your Mac App Store account associated with this Apple ID when the Mac was new?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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,
    Sterling

          Continue;

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • My ipod has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything what do i do

    my ipod account has been accessed from another ipod and now it won't let me download anything...What Do I do?

    Not sure what you are talking about.
    Your ITUNES account can be accessed from any device or computer that has itunes, as long as you have your username and password.  Using your itunes account from another device does not affect your ability to use the account from your device.
    What is the issue?
    You tried to do what?
    And what was the result?
    Error message?
    What did it say?
    What have you tried?

    I changed my Apple password and now I cannot log into iMessage.  It just flips back to log-in screen & says it cannot verify & that I need to log back into my apple account.  Help?

    Go to Settings > Store, touch your Apple ID, log out, then back in with the updated information.  Then go to Settings > iCLoud and verify the correct address.  Then do the same in Settings > Messages.......Once all all correct, you should be good to go......
