ITunes ringtones: Bought one, but won't take password for any more??

Using iTunes 7.4.2, last night I bought my first ringtone. It went through without a hitch.
However, I tried again and again to preview another one, but it keeps prompting me for my password to the iTunes store.
All my other iTunes functions that require passwords work normally (buying music, checking my account), and I tried resetting my password using 'forgot password', and it still just keeps prompting me for a password.
If I deliberately enter in the wrong pw, it will tell me in red lettering that the username/pw is wrong. However, when I enter the correct one, I do not get this error message, yet the prompt keeps coming up.
This is using a G4 PB 10.4.10, and having repaired permissions, restarted, etc. Still getting issue.
Any help appreciated!

If you follow baltwo's method, when finished, you must remember to return the startup disk to the volume you normally boot from. Otherwise, if the external isn't connected and turned on, the Mac won't find a volume to boot from.
Hmmm? IIRC, it the one selected in the Startup Disk prefPane isn't available, the OS will search all mounted volumes for one that will boot the machine. In that instance, that does the job, but doesn't reset the prefPane setting, so if you want to reset it to the internal, that's another step.

  • ITunes 10.6 won't remember passwords for podcasts

    Ever since I upgraded to 10.6, iTunes won't remember passwords for any premium podcasts, even when I check the "remember credentials" box. Every time I start iTunes, on the first podcast list refresh, I have to enter all the usernames and passwords again. Any ideas?

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play.

    I rented a movie through iTunes and it downloaded but won't play. It is present in the videos app but doesn't load the picture for the movie. When I go to play it, it just opens and then closes. There is an iCloud icon that suggests the movie has not Been downloaded and when I click it it says that the movie has already been rented but not downloaded and that I need to go to downloads to manage it. It is not present in my iTunes download page however. And when I go to rent it again all I get is a watch button that directs me back to the videos app with no way to watch it.

    Hi Refvoxa,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are not able to play or download a movie rental on your iPad, first restart your device:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

    After your iPad restarts, try resuming the download again:
    If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
    For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password if prompted.
    Tap the blue download arrow to resume.

  • TS1702 iBooks won't load PDF files any more on my Ipad2. Anybody seen this one before?

    Hello All,
    iBooks won't load PDF files any more.
    I have a lot of PDF files so I thought I reached a maximum number of files or space so I deleted a lot of old files but this did not help.
    I rebooted, synced, updated, restarted, etc. - everything that I can think of and I still have the same problem.
    I don't remembered the last file that I loaded into iBooks, as I usually put them into collections.
    I can still load PDF files into other applications like PDF Reader, but I prefer to have them all in iBooks.
    Anybody seen this one before?
    I have 64GB iPad2 and I have over 14GB free space.

    There have been several threads on this topic over the last few weeks. It's not clear what the issue is, and it is not universal, but tend to effect users storing large numbers of PDFs in iBooks. Possible it has some thing to dowith capacity of the app, or specific characteristics of some of the PDFs.

  • I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

  • App store won't accept password for updates but will for purchases...

    Password is 100% correct etc... The app store on my iphone 4s (latest OS as of today) will accept my apple id password for any purchase, but not for any update.
    What's going on!?!?!
    100% repeatable ... 100% infuriating

    I contacted the store.  Somehow in the process of adding multiple icloud accounts to my family I somehow purchased apps under one account that had the same email but different user name.  I edited both account's passwords, made them similar so that if my ipad or iphone tells me I entered the wrong password I just enter the other passwords for the other account.
    I wish Apple would have a better, cleaner way to manage accounts.  I didn't know this second account even existed.

    Are you talking about your lock screen passcode? If so, go into Settings>General>Passcode Lock, and Change one of your Passcodes to match the other.

    Hi, I´m new at the community. My book about the life of a bull who died in a bull fight was a best seller in Perú, and is been studied in many schools there. But I don't live there any more. People ask me about the book and is not any more at the libraries. I would like to make a tradition to english, portugues, and may be another language that could be interesting to do.
    I am a psychologist with an specialization in couple and family therapy. I am writing more and more material and the people who reads me are asking me more.
    My mother thong is Spanish, my second Portuguese , and my third is english. I apologize if I make some mistakes trying to express myself.
    The situation is that I need to upload my book to iBook and I don't know how to do it. If I can pass that step I will like to upload more material I am sure people will enjoy and learn as they did with my first one.
    I really appreciate any help.
