ITune Store doesnt accept apple ID

Ok this is my last post today!
My last problem is with iTunes. I'm new to mac and i dont have ipod yet either but i heard that the new ipod nano4G could display subtitles on films so I decided to check out the store. I started up my iTunes and upgraded it to iTunes 8, it asked for apple ID so i put in the same thing that i put to get on here (also called apple ID) and it doesnt work!!
iTunes store says they dont have a record of my account so i dont understand how i can get onto here with 'apple ID' but the same one not work with iTunes store?
I been reading about alot of hassles people seem to be having with ipods and iTunes so I'm beginning to wonder if its going to worth using and getting an ipod?
I used to use Napster on windows, but it downloaded in WMA format so i had to convert it to MP3 before transferring to my phone. Does iTunes convert it to MP3 to go on ipod or Mp3 players? or do i need another separate mac compatible software?
Any ideas how i can get downloaded music from mac onto phone without having to go through hassles with iTunes and buying a new ipod?

You need to create an account in iTunes using the same information that you use in these forums.
The reason it won't work at the moment is that it needs extra information to create an iTunes account.

  • Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

    Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
    I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
    However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
    Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
    Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
    If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
    And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
    I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
    Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

  • Logging in to iTunes Store on my Apple TV

    I have just got round to updating my Apple TV and everytime I try to log in to my iTunes account, it says that either the Apple ID or Password is incorrect, although I can still log in on my PC.
    I have tried both of my iTunes accounts and neither will work. I've made sure I'm using all lower case, and made sure it's trying to connect to the correct countries store.
    What's interesting is YouTube doesn't work either, but when I go to look at TV Show Previews and Film Trailers, they work and play fine, it just won't let me sign in to my accounts.
    Any ideas?

    I was on the phone with Apple support this morning for 2 hours.
    If you have an @aol.com email address as your Apple ID, you cannot log onto the iTunes store on the Apple TV. The technician told me it's a bug they did not come across during testing and they're working now trying to resolve it. He said they're not sure if it's on the server side or if it's the v2 firmware.
    The technician tried to convert my account as shown in the link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307459) That did not work either. The solution for now is to go to https://myinfo.apple.com, log in and change your Apple ID name to something else besides an @aol.com address.
    He said it looks like we'll be getting a 2.0.1 update very soon to resolve the issue.

  • TS1368 I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

    I can't connect to the iTunes store with my Apple TV. I can see what movies are on offer but when trying to access my account i am advised "Can't connect to server" (times out).

    I have the same problem with my 3rd gen Apple TV. I can preview iTunes movies, stream from my Mac, Airplay from my other devices but I cannot rent a movie on iTunes. Every time I try I get "Can't connect to ITunes" and "Unable to sign in". Had technical support review the problem over the phone and they agreed to send me a new one. Same problem. Interestingly enough my 2nd gen Apple TV works just fine.

    Thanks, I read several other threads and all it took was to turn off the router and turn it back on again, 'simples'.
    Thanks

  • My itunes store doesnt load everything

    all the sudden on my two computers ( one a laptop with windows 7 and one a desktop with vista) will only load the quick links and single charts on the right hand side of the store window. i can click on any of the links and it takes to be the correct page however if im going to view an ablum it loads all the text but no pictures and will not let me preview any song.
    this is how the home page loads on both computers. no pictues
    also on both computer. no pictures and wont let me preview songs

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • I am unable to get the iTunes store to accept my Apple ID and password, despite having received an email from Apple indicating that the ID and password are valid. I purchased an iPad and need to sync my laptop with it, but I can't download any apps.

    How do I get apps downloaded from the iTunes store? Every time I try to sign on with my user id and password, I get a message stating that my account has never been used to purchase anything from iTunes before, and that I need to review my account. Yet when I click on the link to review the account, it just leads back to the store.  I have tried "starting from scratch" to attempt to create a new account again, but get the message that my email is already associated with an Apple account, so it won't let me start over. I just purchased an iPad2 and am trying to get started with downloading items,  but getting nowhere fast. If this is an example of how Apple does business, I may be returning the iPad2 for a refund.

    Have either of you had any luck with this issue.  It began happening to me today when I was trying to purchase music on iTunes.  I have purchased music and games in the past and have had no problem.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Why app store doesnt accept my visa card ?

    MY visa was fine, then suddenly it said billing problemand i coundnt uptadae anything because it doesnt accept my visa details anymore and i cant understand why !

    Are you in a different country then the one you used previously with your AppleID? The country of the Apple Store you are trying to buy from and  the billing address of your AppleID and the country you are in must match.
    Also, your VISA card may have been disabled by Apple for security reasons.
    Then you have to contact Apple Support. Only the Account Security Team can activate it again. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:
    https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    And contact your Bank as well.

  • ITunes doesn't accept Apple ID login

    Dear All
    the log-in for billing / account data in iTunes 11.1.4 doesn't accept my Apple ID. Password is correct and internet connection works well.
    What seems bizarr is, that it accepts my ID / pass to login into iTunes Store (it also works for other Apple ID logins), but when I click on my account name in iTunes to see what I bought and other data, it doesn't accept the password. It just keeps repeating the pop-up the window/message, that it needs my login. Only if I use an incorrect passw, it shows up the red phrase saying the ID is wrong. But if I tell the correct passw it keeps repeating the normal message without red phrase.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks all in advance

    I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm having the exact same problem. Current version of iTunes, correct Apple ID - repeating login request.
    Any solutions out there?

  • How do I Download from Itunes store using the Apple Lossless format?

    I use my music on a home sterio and import locally from CD's to Windows using the Apple Lossless format only, to achieve the Highest quality sound. However, When I buy from Itunes store I can only get AAC format, which is low quality. How can I get Itunes to give me only Apple Lossless format?
    Your help will b e appreciated.
    Thanks
    Phil

    I do agree with what i have been said. I am a musician, i think AAC is definitely medium-low quality. I bought this year lots of AAC 256 for Itunes. I have been surprised. SO many times i need to go to the equalizer to counter-balance the weakness of this file format.
    I advise you to do the following. Import a CD using Apple LossLess and then import a CD using AAC 256. You will see a HUGE difference.
    Now i start to buy CD again in order to get the music Quality. Then i import my CDs to Itunes using Apple LossLess (920Kbps). You will ear that on Snares and Rides. Bass will sound more natural. Bass, Medium, Sharp will more balance with each other. You will hear instruments with more clarity especially when there are a lot of instruments. Because of that, you will not need to raise up the volume.
    But more than anything... you will gain VOLUME in your files.
    In general over the internet all the online music stores including Itune doesn't provide HD quality. AAC 256 is not enough. A track bought over Itune Store should weight 30 megabytes, not 5. And then you would decide to compress it or not.
