Itunes store cant verify my password

im having an issue with my iphone not being able to verify my password. when ever i try to download an app, or song, i have to enter my password but i always get a message "your itunes store password was incorrect, please try again"
i always think that its me or my password, so ill double check everything on my account in itunes, sync my phone, disconnect it after the sync, have the phone prompt me for my password, ill enter it and things will work fine. only to try moments later, and the phone wont recognize my password at all.
what gives??!

so here is how i fixed it:
1 : logged into iTunes on my computer
2 : synched my phone to itunes still signed in to the iTunes store
3 : opened my itunes account on my iphone
4 : signed in using my AOL username password
5 : it then worked when i went to download apps/songs from itunes
this fixed my problem. although several weeks later apple did thier own fix and got rid of the AOL login's and forced people to re-register. thanks apple for taking care of this. now all is fine and back to normal.

  • TS3297 Every time I open iTunes to listen to music, not access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box, over and over again. When I try to access the iTunes Store it does not except my password. This has happened since the last update.

    Everytime I open iTunes to play music, NOT to access the iTunes Store, I get the password sign in box for the iTunes Store. If I click cansel the box pops up a second time.
    When I try to sign in to the iTunes Store it does not except the password and pops up the sign in box afain,and again endlessly.
    This started happening about two weeks ago.

    if itunes will not run, you probably have mangled windows badly
    one feature of windows 8 is the refresh that saves libraries,
    because you are using windows 7, you will need to backup all files to another storage device

  • Why my itunes store cant open?

    i try to open my itunes store after i upgrade to the newest version...it say "make sure your network connection is active and try again"
    but my network is ok and im connected bt why my itunes store cant be access?
    i try to uninstall and reinstall it again..still it hv the same problem

    Try the following:
    - Double click the Home button and close all apps in the recently-used dock. The power off and then back on the iPod.
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • When i open ibook, the iTunes store asks for my password. it goes away when i press cancel or when i put in my password. why is this happening?

    When I open IBook, the ITunes store asks for my password.  It goes away when I press cancel or enter my password.  It seems unnecessary to me.  Why is it doing this?  I already paid for the book. 

    If you are trying to update information for your apple id then go to appleid.apple.com and click on manage your apple ID... you'll probably have to enter your old email address/password

  • ITunes Store, Apple ID, MobileMe Password Madness ...

    Just sent this to support, sharing it here to see if others are coming unstuck with the recent changes of the iForgot and the password complexity that they've added.
    Essentially what must happen is that *someone else* thinks my account is their account, so after three attempts the account locks, and the password has to be changed.
    - - - ** URGENT REPEAT ISSUE ** PLEASE ESCALATE **
    Once again I'm getting prompts to reset my password because it has been entered too many times. I'm not entering it incorrectly.
    This security measure DOES NOT MAKE SENSE!!!
    If I have to reset my password for my iTunes account, this means I have to re-enter my password in DOZENS of places for MobileMe services (Mail, iDisk, Calendar, etc, etc) and multiple devices (MacBook Pro, Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad ...).
    It's getting ridiculous, I've had to do two password changes this weekend alone and I can't keep up with them.
    It was less of an issue when the password could be reset to itself (essentially you were unlocking the Apple ID by verifying security questions) but a forced change is making things very difficult indeed.
    It also makes iTunes store purchases difficult to make, so I'm less inclined to make them!!
    Please, please look into this as a matter of urgency. I can't be the first person with a MobileMe account that this has happened to!!
    Anyone Else??

    Quite a number of people have complained about this exact problem see:

    It would appear that the requirement to use a new password each time is a new feature, hence the sudden upsurge of problems.
    The only way forward is for everyone who has this problem to make as much fuss as possible until enough pressure builds up for Apple to do something - though exactly what is debatable.
    The real problem is faulty initial design - it's a serious flaw that the login user name is the same as the account name which appears in web pages and emails: this means that anyone can find it out, and anyone can lock you out of your account, either inadvertantly or maliciously. If the login was different - so you would have to have an account name, a user login, and a password - the problem wouldn't arise: but unfortunately this would require a massive rewrite of the software and isn't likely to happen.
    Up to now people in this situation have been able simply to reset to the same password - enough of a pain in itself if some fool somewhere thinks he owns your email address. It may be that the recent upheaval has been triggered by the spate of fraudulent purchases in iTunes.

  • ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

    Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

    I should note that my problem was on Mac.

  • AppleTV: Verification required; go to iTunes Store to verify payment information; how do I do this?

    Each time I attempt to rent a movie via AppleTV, I get an error message stating:  Verfication required; go to iTunes on your computer to verify payment information. How do I do this once I'm on my Account in iTunes???

    On iTunes, select "iTunes Store" in the sidebar.  Then select your ACCT up at the top left of the window then you'll see ACCOUNT and you can EDIT and change your charge cards, etc. 
    I hope this helps . . .

  • ITunes store always asks for password

    Every time I download anything from the iTunes Store (usually about once per week to update iPhone apps) it asks me for my password even though I mark the checkbox to remember my password for future downloads.
    Is there a way to fix this? I have tried deleting the item from the keychain and even creating an entire new keychain.
    Thank you.

    Andy, same here, for the moment.
    These steps (maybe pedantic, but it's what I did):
    1) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Sign Out... (logging out of iTunes store).
    2) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Deauthorize Computer... (deauthorizing your iTunes account - be sure to type username and password properly).
    3) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Authorize Computer... (reauthorizing your iTunes account - be sure to type username and password properly).
    4) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Sign In... (logging back into the iTunes store - be sure to type username and password properly).
    Since I've done this, I have not been asked for my password, a little less than 24 hours, but no new shows. So Monday morning will be my big test.

  • ITunes Store cannot verify my address.  It's right so why?

    I am trying to buy music in I tues.  I access the account, the card information and the addtress is no different from my last purchase.  But when I click DONE it says my "address cannot be verified".  I also need to update my phone number, but I get the same message.  The address is correct.  Why is it being rejectec?

    What I'd like to know is what has changed with iTunes?  Iv never used a credit card with iTunes, only pre-purchased cards.  Now I can't even get free apps or music unless I give Apple my home address, telephone number and credit card.  None of which Iv ever used with the iTunes Store.  Is this the end of the iTunes store accepting gift cards?
    I cannot even find a place to send a message to iTunes to get an answer. 
    What gives?

  • ITunes Store keps forgetting my password

    My password is fine, it logs me in and allows me to purchase from the iTunes Store.
    The problem is even though I check the "Remember password for purchasing" box, EVERY time I purchase, I am asked for this password.
    This has only started since iTunes 9. Is this a bug or did some specific preference get corrupted?

    Hey, I could be a ******* and suggest you try the top of this http://static.agilewebsolutions.com/1password/user_guide/itunes.html but maybe looking in that keychain thing and deleteing it and trying again (no idea what that really is as I don't use mac). Ive got the same problems but on vista, and same on 2 other vista machines on itunes 9. I've removed and re-installed afew times, tried cleaning the registry while it was removed and I'm getting the feeling I will have to learn to live with it.

    P.S. Chocolate mint chip is my favourite, and I'm very glad Mike Johnson12 informed us of his password saving preferences, it really helped the topic.

  • How can I force ITunes store to demand a password before purchases?

    A certain teen offspring of mine is ordering ITunes songs at will and regardless of cost or my warnings for her to stop. It's set up so you just go into ITunes store and order, i.e. it bypasses any password question. How can I force the process to demand a password which I have already set? This way she would have to ask permission from me, and I can decide yes or no.

    Remove your CC info. Re-add it when you want to purchase then remove it immediately after.
    Also, change your iTunes password and log out of the iTunes store.
    It's set up so you just go into ITunes store and order, i.e. it bypasses any password question
    Select the iTunes store in iTunes.
    Log out of the iTunes store.
    Find any item to purchase (or download free) then click on Buy.
    A window will pop up and ask you to log in to the store.
    Uncheck *Remember password for purchasing*. This will require a password a when you make a purchase. If you have removed your CC info, that will also need to be input to make a purchase.

  • HT204266 Why can I not connect to the iTunes Store even though my password is correct and I have both Wifi and 3g?

    Hello!
    Could someone please help me?
    I cannot connect to the iTunes store on my iPhone for some reason.  I have reentered the password, shut the phone on and off a few times and have been able to connect to the iTunes store on my computer.  This is a pretty big problem and I don't understand why it is happening.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.
