Is my iTunes password the same as my Apple password?

Is my iTunes password the same as my Apple password?

Thanks. I had already tried this. All my devices know only my @mac.com ID and they autofill for that. This includes iTunes on my computer, iPad, and the SETTINGS on the iPhone. It is only the iTunes Store App on the iPhone that insists on the other obscure ID.
I continued messing around with it last night and at some point the Store App on phone suddenly gave me a link to reset the password. (By the way, it did not know my birthday, so I had to the the email notification.) Anyway, I reset the password to one I would know, and now have been able to update the phone apps.
I also consulted the Store customer service. I have responded to that message thus:
Thank you for your detailed reply.
The odd thing about this problem is that the Apple ID account in the iPhone's SETTINGS for the store does not match the Apple ID that the Store App is using directly.
I would like for the Store to change to the @mac ID that I use everywhere else. There does not seem to be an interface for me to cause this myself.
The workaround that I stumbled upon is to reset the password for the account the Store is using. This was a VERY OBSCURE link. So I now have been able to update the apps.
However, I do not consider the basic problem actually solved.

    If this involves downloading Adobe software then it is probably your computer's security password, nothing to do with Adobe.

  • Apple tv remote interacts with iTunes at the same time as Apple tv

    Whenever I'm using the remote for my Apple TV I found that Itunes on my MacBook starts changing movies, turning up and down the volume and it gets in the way of what I'm actually trying to do, it's quite anoying.
    Any idea why or how can I fix this?
    Thanx

    If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System Preferences > Security > General, click on the Advanced button in the bottom right corner - If the button is greyed out, click on the lock icon and enter your administrators password))
    If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computerAND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
    To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

    I installed the Kobo app on my Ipad mini and the logo appears on my screen b ut when I try to activate it a password is asked for.  I entered my Apple ID password.  Is this not correct?

    No, you need to use the account id and password that you've set up with Kobo, the app is linked to your account with them so that you can download your kobo purchases into it

  • HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password.  Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts.  How can we stop this happening?

    A couple of different approached:
    Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
    Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

  • HT1222 I dont know what password they need for installing the latest version of itunes because it isnt the same as my apple id

    How am i supposed to download the latest itunes version if i dont know the password because its not the same as my apple id password

    The password being requested is, as for any Mac OS X software update or application installation, the password to your user account in Mac OS X, or the user name and password to an account in Mac OS X that has administrator privileges if your account does not.
    Regards.

  • Are to apple password and the itunes password the same?

    Are the apple password and the itunes password the same?

    I have a similar problem to StormRider08. In addition to my iMac (which I just set up with Mt. Lion) I got an iPad mini. Neither would let me use the same AppleID. My original ID shows up in the stores, but apparently cannot be used. And I cannot change it (at least I don't know how to).
    Can anyone help me?

  • How do I find out if my iTunes ID is the same as my iCloud password?

    How do I find out if my iTunes password is the same as my iCloud password?

    Hello jenny86753092008,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! Your iTunes and iCloud passwords will always be the same unless you have multiple accounts with us. To check to see if you have multiple accounts, you can use this handy Apple ID tool:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    You can also contact us for assistance to see if you have multiple Apple ID accounts:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
    Make sure that you’re entering the correct Apple ID. In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. If these steps didn't help you change your password, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    Matt M.

  • Can I use the same icloud username and password for multiple phones?

    I have 6 iphones and wanted to use Apple Configurator to install the same apps on all 6 phones.  Some of the apps though, also require further installation by email.  Can I use the same iCloud username and password for all 6 phones to download the apps and also to configure email or do I need to create 6 different Apple IDs?

    If different people will be using these phones, you might be better off using the same Apple ID for the iTunes content...apps, music, etc. on each of these devices, but create different ID's for iCloud on each device. You can use one ID for the iTunes/App store, & a different ID for iCloud. That way, messages, notes, contacts, calendars, etc will be kept separate on each device.

  • I am trying to deauthorize my audible account.  It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password.  They should be different correct?

    I am trying to deauthorize my audible account.  It says the user name and/or password are incorrect after I had just deauthorized the computer using the same user name and password and logging in to post this.  They should be the same password correct?

    Deauthorize Audible Account... always appears as a menu selection, even if you deauthorized Audible or never even had an account.
    Audible is a different account from iTunes and does not require the same username / password.
