ITunes and App Store keep asking for password.

If I log into the Mac App Store or iTunes to purchase an app/song I get prompted for a username and password, as expected; but then it just keeps asking. If I type in a purposly wrong password it will tell me it's wrong, but when I put in the correct one it seems to take it but the dialog just pops up again. This occurs on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and my MacPro. This also happens if I try to 'view account'. Every now and again I will break through this loop and see my account details, but if I try to change something, say my purchase methode, I get 'session timed out'.
I can log into the website just fine, I know the password is good.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar problem. When I open iTunes I kept getting a "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the Itunes Store at this time. Please try again later." error message. I also couldn't update my apps. I was able to stop the messages by signing out. Unfortuantely, I can't sign in now. I don't get an incorrect password message, though. Instead I get the same error message.
I then I tried updating my apps on my iPod Touch but then I get a "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" error message.
So, like you I think the problem is on their end. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch. I'm going to go my favorite coffee shop and see if I can download there.
Thanks,
Brian

When trying to download Apps ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect.

When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.

Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password, original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it. Now can't buy apps.

I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work. How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Itunes 10.5.3: store keeps asking for password

Just updated iTunes to 10.5.3. Now the iTunes Store keeps asking for my password repeatedly. Is this a known bug?

Have you used more than one AppleID with iTunes on this computer? If you have, you might just need to authorize the computer with the correct account.
If you hvaen't used another AppleID, check out this Apple article -> iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

I should note that my problem was on Mac.

ITunes and App Store won't recognize password

Everytime I enter my password into iTunes or App Store on my iPhone it says it can't find my ID or password. I can log into Apples site with my Apple ID and password and it works just fine. I reset my password and it still doesn't work. It worked perfectly last night. I put my phone on charge, went to bed and this morning it wouldn't let me download anything. Anyone have any idea of why I can't download any song or apps on my phone?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

App updates keep asking for password

Been notified of App updates and it keeps asking for my password. When password is entered it will not update. Can anyone help?

Does it reject the password? Just what ahappens when you enter the password?

Just installed ios5 and now email keeps asking for password

Why does one of my email accts keep asking for a password when I've already added one? Tried everything
Just installed ios5.

You have two passwords to contend with (more than likely). Your incoming and your outgoing.
In Settings, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Select Your Account/Look for Outgoing Mail Server and review the settings there. 9.9 times out of 10, this is your internet provider.
Hope this helps.

Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

Why does the app store keep saying invalid sercurity code when I keep putting in the right code?

Hello!
It might sound strange at first, but it might be related to your cookie settings in Safari. To see if this is true, open Safari and proceed to the Safari prefences by clicking on the Safari menu - to the right of the classic apple-menu - and choosing Preferences.
Click the Privacy tab.
Make sure your cookie-preferences are NOT set to "never" or "block always"
Set to your preferred cookie option, restart your computer once, and see if your issue has been resolved.

App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

Hi my App Store keeps asking for my wife's login I have signed in and out but it is still not working any ideas. It is strange as I have never signed with her id before.

The Apple ID that is coming up on my App Store is my wife's but I am logged in under my own, I have logged out and back in but it is still logging in on hers can anyone help???

I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.
Your son have to buy those apps with his own Apple ID and start from scratch.
