ITunes log in no longer valid on one iPad

Home base for my iTunes account is my Windows 7 desk top PC. In addition to the PC I had four (4) iOS devices working with my iTunes account:
* Apple TV
* iPad2
* iPad Mini
* An old iPhone (celluar service off)
The iPad Mini hasn't been backing-up on the PC and I am getting an non-descript error message saying it cannot back-up. The conent between the iPad mini and the PC will sync, just it won't back-up.
Today I got an iPhone 5 and set it up on my iTunes account and all is working well. When I tested Face Time with the iPad Mini I discovered that FaceTime is no longer associated with my iTunes account on the iPad Mini, and the same problem exists with "Messages" on the iPad Mini. I have entered my password numerous times and keep getting the same error "The user name or password for <account name> was incorrect. Try again."  (I assume this problem is and the above error is coincidental - not directly related).
Was my iTunes account maxed out? When I logged the iPhone 5 into my iTunes account, did it automatically kick the iPad Mini out of my iTunes account?
Following advice on other discussion(s), I went to iTunes > Store > View Account > (log in) > Manage Devices (under iTunes in the Cloud) to verify the devices linked to my iTunes account, and only two items appear - my PC and my iPad2.  How do I verify what devices are linked/associated and what are not? I could disassociate the old iPhone if I am at my limit of devices, but don't know how.
When I selected the 'Product' in the options below this field in order to narrow the scope, the Apple Community records identified both of my iPads that are associated with my iTunes. But it doesn't list either the new or the old iPhone - nor the Apple TV.
This is maddening....
BTW - I also have a new work Surface 8 pro that I'd like to also link with my iTunes account. Will that be possible?

Problem resolved.  A friend suggested that I go into iTunes on my Mac and backup the phone then try and do a restore.  This seems to have worked.  I'll update again if this fix doesn't hold.

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we connect to Itunes it installs all the apps from one Ipad on to the other. I unchecked the box to automatically update apps, but Itunes still does so. How do I prevent Itunes from intalling apps?

    I have an Ipad 2. My wife has an Ipad mini. When we plug in to Itunes (at different times) it synchs the apps from one Ipad on to the other. We don't want this. I have uncheked the box for Automatically synch apps, but it still does this.
    How do I get Itues to see each Ipad as a separate item, and not try to keep them "equal" as far as apps installed?

    Remove the apps from iTunes with your device connected. You can basically deselect the apps that you don't want on each device. We have three IOS devices on one AppleID and they don't all have the same apps.

  • Hi there I lost my password for my original iTunes account I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid How can I access my old account?

    Hi there.
    I did a factory restore and then restored it with iCloud back-up. I have been using lots of Apple products and i have used three different email adresses. Almost all apps restored perfectly but everytime i try to play a song in the Music app, i asks me for a Apple-ID i had no idea i have used.
    Hence:
    I lost my password for my original iTunes account
    I can't recover it because the email address it is registered under is not longer valid
    How can I access my old account?
    Can't find a place to change the email address to my new one without the password which I no longer remember.
    There is no way to just erase Apple-ID's on my device either.
    What to do? Should i ju give up and start from scratch and delete 2 years of stuf?
    Cheers!

    If you can remember the answers to the security questions when you set up that account - I think that you can reset the password without needing email authentication. You can try it here. Read it and see if it's possible. But if you can't remember the answers to the questions it will not work.

  • I have two apple accounts, with two separate iCloud accounts, both with information I need on my iPhone and mac. One email is no longer valid therefore I can't varify it via emial. How do I get info onto my phone or onto one account?

    I have two different email accounts/IDs because one of my account email's is no longer valid, therefore I am unable to verify it via the varification email. I can not use my current email/apple ID to change it to becuase it is set as my backup on the first account. So frustrating because I am now paying for two seperate iclouds and cloud music storage as well. Just bought my mac and I am having trouble getting music onto my iphone because the majority is on the old, non valid email address account but I have to use my current apple ID on my iphone.... any suggestions on how to not lose everything and have it all in one place would be great! Thanks!

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Old apple id no longer valid.  new apple id can't log in or reset password

    I just upgraded to an iphone 4s.
    During the activation process, it said my old apple id was invalid because it wasn't an email address
    I entered an email address but I have a couple of problems:
    1. I have a couple of apps that need to be updated.  When I go into the app store and click update all, it prompts me for the address for my old (non email) account password.  The password is no longer valid.
    2. I attempted to use iforgot to reset the password.  I request the email to reset the password, and I get the email with the reset your password link.  I click on the link to reset my password, choose a new password.   I got a page that said the password change was successful.  When I clicked the manage your apple id link and tried to log on with the new password, It said the apple id or password had been entered incorrectly.
    I've tried to reset the password 4 times.  Each time, the same result occurs, I get the email, successfully change the password, and the new password doesn't work.

    I have a similar problem I am unable to access my iTunes account and the email password reset does not work

  • I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I cant get a reset all of my credentials dont work.

    I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

    Hi, I have an e-mail account no longer valid, I need to move my contacts to a new e-mail account and delete the old one.  How, help?? Phone is a 3GS

    So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
    If so, you can't.
    You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

  • Your session is no longer valid. Log on again - no long time

    Hi guys, I´m working with a CRM upgrade, and working with the e-commerce solution, when I transfer an item to the cart  2 or 3 seconds later the app gives me an error message like this "Your session is no longer valid. Log on again." I do not have access to NWA because administrative issues and already ask for logs but it will take long time. Were I can search the possible reasons for a close session if I do not have access to logs ? It seems to me, to be a configuration problem with the server, maybe the url .
