ITunes Password Rejected with Ethernet, OK with Wifi.

My ATV2 says my iTunes password is wrong when connected by Ethernet cable to my iMac. If I unplug the Ethernet cable and the ATV2 connects to the Internet via my Airport, the password is accepted. I'm temporarily out of the US and use a VPN service on my iMac enabling me to watch Netflix, so why can't my new ATV2 connect properly with Ethernet to the same iMac? I've got OSX Lion, and all software and firmware is up to date for ATV2, iMac and Airport. I've tried unplugging, restoring, resetting password and other solutions I've seen on this forum, but no success yet. Thanks in advance for any help.

Have you enabled internet sharing over the ethernet port?
It may be an erroneous error description and the real issue is AppleTV not being able to connect to the store in the first place.

I can't remember the password to my email acount i opened itunes with, or the itunes password affiliated with that email account? How do I change my primary email account?

I opened my iTunes account with an e-mail address I no longer use, and I can not authorize my new computer to access my iPhone without the iTunes password affiliated with my no longer in use e-mail account. The problem is I can't remember the iTunes password that goes with that account. And the account I no longer use is my primary account. Is there a way around this to where I can change my primary account or at least take the old account off of iTunes???

How to authorize iTunes on iPad with wife,s I'd

My wife and I have an iPod. It is under her apple I'd. I have a new iPad and want to sync her iTunes with it. How do I do it. The iPad is set up with my apple I'd.

I was able to transfer her purchases to iPad by inputting her apple I'd when prompted. I think it is like some type of authorization
Ion process. I just did it without really understanding what I was doing.

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all he

My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem. I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad. I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync. I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library. How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

Go back to her login. Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers! Then, you need to set up each iPad separately. You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except... Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them. If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs. Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in. The device handles that. All you need is the correct password. In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI.

What error do you get if any?
Have you tried connecting to another network besides your own?
Do you use DHCP on your router or static IP address?

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

When trying to but in app purchases I get an error that says "iTunes password and account is not synced with the email address"! How can I fix this?

I try and buy in app purchases but it won't let me and gives me the above error message: "iTunes password and account is not synced with the email address"! How can I fix this?

Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

Trouble updating to iOS 5 on my wife's iPhone 4 connected to our iM, right before download finishes downloading iTunes comes back with the error message Software corrupted during download. Please check network settings and try again later.

Try disabling your firewall; both on your PC and the external Firewall/Router.

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

I am not having problems with wifi but ipad will not accept my password in the secure mode. anyone else having the same problem?

I am having problems with the Ipad accepting my password in the secure mode in Wifi. I can get into wifi when the secure mode is off. This only started when I downloaded the lastest update for the Ipad. Anyone else having the same problems? I have rebooted the Rotar and still doesn't work.

I am not.
Which secure mode are you using with your wireless network - WEP or WPA?
Have you tried forgetting this network on your iPad, and/or resetting network settings on your iPad? Both will require rejoining the network and the latter will require rejoining every wi-fi network your iPad has access to when returning within range of the network.
