ITunes store/Apple TV/home sharing – will not accept my password.

Home Sharing could not be activated because the Apple ID or password was incorrect.
IT IS NOT INCORRECT!!
WHAT IS – FATAL – Unable to process your request.  Please try again.
I HAVE USED  The same Apple ID and password  TO LOG ONTO THIS SITE, I HAVE USED IT TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD,  I HAVE USED IT TO LOG ON TO MY ACCOUNT,… I KEEP RECEIVING THE SAME MESSAGE!!
I'm sorry, do I sound a bit frustrated?
I CANNOT  ACTIVATE HOME SHARING ON MY APPLE TVS, IOS DEVICES,  OR THREE OTHER COMPUTERS.
Incidental:
I had the entire family over to watch videos I had worked on for countless hours which  I meticulously transferred from 8mm to HD then edited them using iMovie.
They all looked at me like I was stupid! 
If Apple would have sent out an email  stating their service was down, or that there was some kind of error it would've saved me a lot of embarrassment not to mention two hours wasted on trying to get it to work.
BTW http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972 Is absolutely useless.

Problem solved – While looking elsewhere on the Internet, I ran across an article where a guy in Russia found that his security code for the credit card entered on his iTunes account was missing.
After checking, I found my security code was missing as well. After I reentered my credit card security code, I was able to log on to the iTunes Store and also able to turn on  Home Sharing.
I HOPE The Apple  iTunes accounts were not hacked into.  That could be a reason for the security codes beinging erased by Apple.

  • HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on".  But it is.  How can I solve this problem

    I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3.  Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac.  The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
    I have done the following. 
    Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
    Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
    Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
    Selected Computer
    Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
    Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
    It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly.  Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!

    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.

  • HT203180 I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully.

    I have bought several tv seasons from the itunes store. Recently some episodes will not sync with my ipad. The error message is that the file "could not be read or written". Previous episodes of the same series synced successfully. Also while watching the same episode on my laptop (Mac Book Pro) it freezes.

    I had this same message appear today when i was putting new music on my ipod touch 4th gen. The only difference is that I wasnt using an external drive. I was using the one on my computer. This is the first time i have had this problem

  • HT202274 Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep i

    Apple ID has my old email address. It will not allow me to change the address and will not accept my password or ID questions.   I recently upgraded to OSX Yosemite 10.10.1.  I also have an Apple ID that works with iTunes and would like to keep it as my primary.

    To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account.  To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Family sharing will not accept my apple id.

    I open iCloud, log in - no issues. I try to turn on Family Sharing and it just will not accept my password. The pop up asking for password just keeps coming back. Advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    Hi mmbj,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  Is it possible that you have more than one Apple ID?  Are you trying to sign in to Family Sharing from an iOS device or a computer?  The first step would be to go to My Apple ID and confirm your Apple ID and password.  You can reset the password if you need to.   I'm including some general information below for your Apple ID and Family Sharing.

  • ITunes store is rejecting my valid Visa Gift Card... iTunes store and my appleid account is not accepting the security code on the Visa Gift Card I purchased today... It keeps telling me the security code is not valid

    Has this ever happened to you?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Sometimes the issue isn't really the security code, but the ZIP code or the form of the billing address.

  • I want to change my apple id on my macbook pro in the user info. it ask for a password...i am typing in my password to the apple id but it will not accept it....how to solve it ?

    I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
    If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

    My IPad has disconnected from my home WiFi and will not accept my password.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

    I would

    2. restart the ipad by holding down the on and home button and use the slider
    3. update the firmware of the router

  • Had to reset, now my apple tv will not accept by password for my wireless system, what do I do?

    Apple TV will not accept my password for my TV, had to restart, what do I do?

    Power cycle the router and try again.
    If the issue persists, temporarily turn off security on the router and connect.  Then turn security back on and connect, it should accept the password this time.

  • HT201210 After updating iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password.

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 7, the lock screen will not accept my password and I am locked out of my phone. Anyone else seeing this? What can I do to fix this?

    Hello kennyred,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    If you have chosen to encrypt your backup, it will contain the passcode. Disable backup encryption before restoring from backup. Learn more about iOS backups in iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, select Restore from Backup and choose the most recent backup of your device.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    Use iTunes on your computer.  With the iPad connected, sign into your Apple account and check for updates.
    Doing this should straighten out the problem.
