ITunes and App Store saying my password is incorrect when it isn't?

I have never before had an issues with iTunes or the App Store. However, starting yesterday evening, I went to sign into the iTunes Store on my laptop and it told me my password was incorrect. The same problem occured on my iPhone when I went to download a twitter update.
However, I've managed to sign onto the Apple website in order to post this question with no difficulties? Iv'e waited 24 hours now since my password hasn't been working on both my laptop and iPhone and nothing has changed despite changing my password twice?
If anyone could give me a solution or any ideas on how to fix this it would be very much appriciated!
Tthank you!

Seeing a lot of threads re: imessage being down in the last hour, could be a problem with the Apple server. I would try again later.

App Store says my password is incorrect when I know it's not.

I really hope someone can help as I have a new iphone and can't download any paid apps. so can't really use my iphone to its potential.
Whenever I try to buy an app that costs it asks to verify my purchase, i have the choice to cancel or continue. I press continue and it asks for my password. I type this in and it keeps asking for it over and over again. After around 5 times it then tells me that my password is incorrect even though I know that it is correct. How do i fix this??

If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

ITunes and App Store ask for password and tell me it is wrong even after I go in and change it.

I am stuck. I can't download apps or music. I can log into my account and change the password. As soon as I attemp to buy something, it says the password is wrong.
I think I may have a second apple ID attached to another email. When I try to add a backup email to the account, it tells me that email is attached to another Apple ID. But when I ask Apple to send a reset to that email, nothing happens.

ITunes and App Store says account is not valid in US store even though I am using an account I created in the US for the US store..

Pretty much what it says above.. I have re entered the account info in settings making sure I am using a US credit card with a US billing address, on a Sprint phone I bought in the US, but it still tries to redirect me to the Australian store even though I am logged in with the apple ID associated with my US account.. Please help?
It has been working fine, this just started to happen when I installed the new IOS6

Did you tried changing Settings > General > International > Region Format?
Date & Time > Time Zone?

IPhone says my password is incorrect when it isn't

When I go into my settings on my iPhone 6 plus and try to enter my account it asks for my password. It keeps telling me it
is incorrect. I've had to reset my password multiple times, and it still won't recognize it.

Thank you for your reply. The security code has disappeared but even when I enter it back on it still says incorrect information. I've added the card details again and know they are correct so unsure what is going on! Think a trip to Apple is in order tomorrow!

Just bought a new iPhone and am having trouble with iTunes and App Store. I can log in to Cloud, iTunes, and app store but once I try to download, it says "Youe apple id has been disabled". I've reset my password three times and have no issue on my Pad.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

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!

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes and App Store on my iPhone? Nothing happens if I click buy for apps or music. If I then go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. If I then enter ID and password it does not save or link to account?

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck.

I lost my itunes (and app store) pass word. I updated by going to the itunes store. However, now the app store won't accept the new password.

I have enabled iTunes and App Store fingerprint authentication on the iPhone 5s. However I still receive a prompt for my Apple ID password vs my Fingerprint. Any way to resolve this?

Ok thanks - that explains it:
From the Apple article: "
Note: Touch ID cannot be used for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately."
Not sure why - but clearly intentional.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
