ITunes password not working
I have tried for months and I cannot update/buy anything through iTunes on my iMac. It works fine through my iphone/ipad. Whenever I enter my password (which is correct), it just keeps asking me for my password over and over again. I'm at a loss on what to do. I cannot even login to my account.
So far I have tried:
-resetting cache and warnings through iTunes preferences
-repaired disk permissions
-restarted computer and updated iTunes
Any other ideas? I have contacted iTunes support and they keep telling me to reset my cache.
I want to delete iTunes completely from my computer but can't even do that. So frustrating!!!
It may just be a temporary server glitch. Try it tomorrow.

Why would my iTunes password not work for my iCloud password if I am using the same account?
I recently redownloaded "find my friends" to my iPhone, and tried to log in and couldn't. Now I use my iTunes account with the iCloud also, and I can't access my iCloud account either. My password has never changed for either services, my account ID was not changed or misspelled, and I shouldn't have any other accounts either. Silly me decided that I should to log out of my iCloud and log back in but it won't accept my password. Am I missing something some where along the way? I can still download apps with the password but why can't I log in to my iCloud account anymore? Can I have different passwords with the same account? If so how do I change one with out changing the other also?
As long as you can't spell I wouldn't worry about it.

I have today replaced my 4s with a new one - having backed up my old one to itunes only this afternoon. It refuses to restore from backup and is asking me for a password... my itunes password isnt working, and yet i have not entered any others.. does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi..
It's asking for your admin password, not your Apple ID and password.
If you can't remember the password ..
Your new Mac is running v10.7 Lion so there are two ways to reset the admin password.
Here > Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password
or here > OS X Lion: Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password -
HELP!
Itunes is not working on my mac. I'm trying to redeem a gift card and everytime I enter my password it does not work. Also, when I try and browse songs, everything is blankIt's been a while but it should work on a Mac because Macs can read Windows formatted devices. Otherwise, you can perform a restore operation to return it to the Mac format. If you go to support.apple.com/manuals/ you can find a copy of the user manual for the model you have in which this is all explained.

i cannot connect to itunes because my 10 year "forgot" her password. so all the restore suggestions utilizing itunes will not work...HELP!
You may need to put the iPod into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPod and re-sync its content.

i need this problem fixed ASAP because i use my ipod for my uni studys..
thank you alice walsh.Place it in recovery mode by:
Placing your device into recovery mode
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes -
My iPhone has crashed during a sync and now I can't restore from backup as it is asking for password to load the backup yet neither the lock code for the phone or my iTunes Password are working... I have no other password to call upon and need the restore to retrieve info onto my phone, I am a real novice to this...... please help, !!!!
If anyone else is looking for a solution to this same problem, I was able to get it working looking through several older discussions.
The solution was to use the password that I had on my iTunes account the very first time I set up the iPhone about a year ago. I changed my iTunes password about 10 months ago; but apparently, the backups continue to use the password that existed when the phone was first set up.
A couple of troubling things with this are that 1) I didn't apply a password when I did the backup this afternoon so I don't understand why it was required when I did the restore a few hours later. and 2) it makes zero sense why iTunes would not be smart enough to use the current accout password when requiring the password to restore from a backup made with no password.
I thought iTunes and Apple were smarter than that. With so many posts stating exactly the same problem, it is clear that this is bug in the software.
Best,

Why is my apple ID password not working on ipad2 after updating to iOS6?
Why is my apple ID password not working after upgrading to iOS6?
Who knows?
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Tap your ID and sign out. Reboot your iPad.
Reboot 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.
Go back to the settings and sign back in again and see of it works now.
If it doesn't work, post back with some information that might help us help you. Describe what you are doing in some detail and it might let us better understand why this is happening. -
ITunes does not work after update
After I update 10.5, my Itunes doe not work.
What specifically does not work? Any errors?
If you want/need help, provide specifics of the issue. We are not mind readers. -
I have tried several times to load version 11.4 and keep getting an error code2324, now I cannot sync any of my apple products. I set my machine to a previous recover date, now iTunes will not work at all. I get a message stating I do not have the administrator rights to download. Any thoughts on this issue?
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

After doing a widows update itunes will not work at all
after doing a widows update itunes will not work at all
hiya!
I get the itunes has encounterd a problem and needs to close, sorry for the inconvenience error, no specific error number. I do not have QT installed,
not having QT installed is what will be causing your itunes error message at the moment. let's try a careful standalone QT 7.1 install.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

And Google chrome just keep loading the page for hours and nothing is appear on its browser. But safari and firefox working absolutly fine.
In addition, I have reboot computer as well but it never worked. Please help me in this occasion.
Eagerly waiting for your response on this issue.
Best Regards,You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.
