Itunes store password is incorrect

Hi all,
I tried to update my apps, clicked on "update all" and then entered my password. I get a warning message that my Itunes store password was incorrect. Tried several times. Powered off the phone, tried again. Went to itunes on my PC and opened the store, password works fine.
I am using a 3gs with ios 4
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ron

When you change your USER ID (which is generally your E-MAIL), Itunes for some reason gets confused... Any apps, music etc. purchased off the itunes store before you made the change still bring up the original USER ID to update, authorize etc. So if you try and enter the password without changing to the new user ID, even if the account is technically the same, you're going to get "incorrect password" or "can not connect to itunes" or possibly "account doesn't exist". I found this out the hard way when I upgraded from XP to Windoze 7.

Try from a computer. You may have to reset your password. If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question. Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

Your itunes store password was incorrect

A friend of mine is getting this frequently. At least 5 times last month. When I reset the password from the I forget webpage all is fine until it happens again. She is not doing anything different from what she has done the past several years! Anyone know what gives here? I searched google and it seems many users have complained but I found no lasting solution. Any info would be welcomed. Thnx

I have the same problem here. i have a 3GS black 32G and i have had the same problem since i got my phone july 19. i noticed i am only allowed one download, it being music or a app from itunes using my phone, everytime i sync my phone to my computer. After i download my app or song i cant download anymore till i sync with my computer again. If I try it will first tell my my password is incorrect and if accepts my password then it will tell me "cannot connect to itunes". it is a pain it the *** cause i cannot download anything while i am away from my computer. Well i am allowed one download but i have to pick one i really want cause that is all i will be able too till i connect with my computer again.
Apple needs to fix this problem cause if i cant download more the one song or app at a time whats the point of having itunes on the iphone if we cant download anything. i alway have to be at home with my computer to download anything.

Having the same problem on my iMac. I've tried everything to do with connection problems in the Help article re: the iTunes store with no results. Also contacted Support, which referred me to the Help article and to the Support Communities i.e. here; no dice. I get the idea that something's mixed up here; they told me it was probably my internet connection rather than an iTunes issue, but according to my diagnostics the network is working perfectly fine. It has to be something on the far end - especially since there would appear to be no less than four people with the issue.

What to do when your iPad keeps asking for the iTunes Store Password

I was using my iPad last night when it just started asking for my iTunes store password and I was browsing the web in safari. I just entered it and scratched my head. Later I was playing a game - the same prompt interrupted the game.
http://skitch.com/mbrad/dru2p/full-screen
It happened about five times before I finally went to the settings app and signed out of the app store. I don't think it's related to any one app since the prompt was happening at seemingly random intervals no matter what I was doing (even on the home screen with no app "running")
Signing out seems to have corrected the problem. Apps still run and I will try signing in again later once I need to download anything. I haven't done much other than update 5 apps earlier in the day.
Does anyone else have experience on what caused this?
Here's what it's not:
1) Time - I checked the date/time on the iPad - they were within seconds of my mac which sets time automatically on the internet.
2) Password wrong - I downloaded a free app from the store app on the device after entering the password - so the password was fine for a purchase/download after the prompt. (Yet the prompt came back again within 30 minutes)
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the suggestion! I did have two downloads for free songs I got from a card at Starbucks. They started but never came on my iPad (and that was 4 days ago). The store error is happening only yesterday - possible but a long time after the "failed download". I just got those songs after your suggestion on my mac by checking for available downloads. Maybe that was the root cause?
Add rebooting to "here's what it's not" - I forgot to write that down. Also - I was not interested in restoring the iPad - like taking a firehose to water a flower, that certainly would fix it at cost of overkill. (and maybe only until the backup was restored if the file causing the issue is something that would be backed up).
The problem seems to be that the device either doesn't save the password or something is causing it to be periodically marked as bad. Both ideas have me scratching my head. Rebooting didn't resolve the issue - only signing out from the store.

Itunes store password required twice

everytime i start itunes (latest version on Windows) it wants my itunes store password twice, can anyone explain this or suggest how i stop it?

Try this,
After iTunes accepts new password, go to
iTunes Menu Store/Select Authorize This Computer.
The response is that it is already authorized.
This will resets the authorization.

ITunes store password popping up

in the past week or so my iPhone has been prompting me to enter my iTunes store password several times a day. Why? It never used to do this.

Have you got an app in there that hasn't finished installing or updating, or some songs from the store? That would be the most likely reason.
If you start to get something from the stores but then lose the network connection you'll get re-prompted for your password when the connection resumes.

Is my iTunes store password & Apple ID the same thing?

I want to change my iTunes store password. If I do this am I also changing my Apple ID password? (Are they one & the same?)
Ideally I'd like a different password for iTunes to my Apple ID one, just checking if they're the same thing?

Thanks, I'll leave it alone then.

HT201303 Is there a difference between the apple store id password and apple iTunes store password?

I know my apple id password. When I try to log into my apple tv, it asks for my apple iTunes store password and when I enter my apple store password, it is rejected. I tried to change my apple iTunes store password to the same as my apple id password and it says I have previously used that password which leads me to believe they are the same but then why does apple tv not accept it?

The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

Auto login issues to iTunes Store password incorrect

Running Windows 7 with iTunes 11. When I open iTunes and it attempts to auto login I get an error message that my password is incorrect (see image below). I can type in the correct password and everything works fine until I close iTunes and reopen it, then I get the same error. Steps I have tried to resolve issue: 1) Logged out of iTunes, 2) deauthorized this computer and reauthorized it, 3) Reset warnings and cache. All to no avail.

When you change your USER ID (which is generally your E-MAIL), Itunes for some reason gets confused... Any apps, music etc. purchased off the itunes store before you made the change still bring up the original USER ID to update, authorize etc. So if you try and enter the password without changing to the new user ID, even if the account is technically the same, you're going to get "incorrect password" or "can not connect to itunes" or possibly "account doesn't exist".

ITunes Store Password

I'm trying to download an app on my iphone but it tells me that the iTunes password I've entered is incorrect. That being said, using the password I tried for the app download I am able to successfully login to my iTunes account. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I need to do to fix it?

I would say, next time at your computer, ensure you are logged into the iTunes store on the computer before syncing your phone. The iPhone gets this info from they sync and only gets it if you are logged into the iTunes store when you sync.
Then try again.

IPad asked iTunes Store Password out of Nowhere

Hello,
I'm using a 3rd generation iPad. Earlier in the day I was deleting some apps to make some space for the big iOS 8 upgrade. I have apps downloaded by two different Apple ID accounts and I probably deleted some apps which belong to both of them. Anyway my actual question is while I was doing that iTunes Store screen popped out from nowhere. I wasn't downloading or upgrading an app. And I didn't select the "upgrade automatically" option. I read some of the similiar stuff here but most of them was saying that it keeps doing that, mine was just a one time thing.
Do you have any idea what was it?

Given the spate of identity thefts as of late (think of Jennifer Lawrence's nudie pix getting swiped from her phone), usage profiling has probably been tightened down. So, whenever you do something out of your ordinary workflow, the system automatically triggers a validation to make sure you are you. My credit card does that whenever I try to purchase something way different or more expensive.

ITunes Store purchase history incorrect

I purchased a TV season on iTunes some time ago. When I went to download it, I found something very wrong.
The season says "Purchased", the first two episodes have a button for "Downloaded" but the third episode's button says "Purchase $4.99" - ie, one part of the page thinks I've bought it but the other part of the same page doesn't. To verify, I looked at my purchase history from within the iTunes app, and that third episode is listed explicitly as covered by the season purchase in the corresponding order.
It looks to me like something is wrong on the iTunes Store backend here. I've asked iTunes support several times, but have gotten unhelpful stock answers.
Any suggestions on how to go about resolving this? Or reaching someone who can?

I got an answer from the online chat support.
It turns out there is a feature called "Hide Purchases" of which I was unaware which does exactly this - makes it act as if specific past purchases don't exist. Not sure how it got set, but this item was hidden. To unhide, look under iTunes Store / Account / iTunes in the Cloud.

ITunes Store and App Store password suddenly 'incorrect' ?

Hi all,
I switched my TV onto the Apple TV tonight to watch a TV episode and found that my Mac Mini server wasn't showing up. iTunes is running but when I turned off Home Sharing and turned it back on, my Apple ID password wasn't accepted. The password didn't work in the Mac App Store either.
At that point, the same password worked fine on the Apple Support Communities.
I reset my password and logged back into the Apple Support Communities - all worked OK (old password didn't work, so it's definitely changed).
Still iTunes and the Mac App Store won't accept my password.
What's going on? Anyone else having this problem?

Forgot to mention - iCloud login in System Preferences works fine with the new password, further confirmatin that the password has definitely been changed.

ITunes Store Password Resetting Constantly.

Thanks,
Jim.

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store
