ITunes will not accept my Apple ID and Password via Apple TV

Hi there. My Apple ID and Password work perfectly well on my computer and allows access to the iTunes store. However, when I try logging into the iTunes store to rent a movie on my Apple TV it keeps on saying Apple ID or password not recognised (or words to that effect). Any ideas anyone. It's been like this for ages and is driving me nuts! (I updated the Apple TV software today).
Thank you.
Graham

I seem to remember seeing something similar when I first connected mine. My userid/pwd were constantly rejected when I tried to rent a movie, and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work. However when I reentered the exact same details under the ATV settings menu and then went back to rent the movie it was fine, and has been ever since. Am not in front of the unit so I can't remember which option it was under the settings menu but it was pretty obvious...

  • Itunes will not accept my securty code and won't take any other card I submit

    itunes will not accept my security code so I can not update or purchase even free aps and won't take another card- so what do you do?

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • My MacBook will not accept my iCloud username and password.

    I can log in on my iPad and iPod but the MacBook keeps saying "your email and password didn't match."

    I suspect that your OSX version (listed above as 10.5.5) is old, otherwise you would not be able to have iCloud service to begin with.
    To test your icloud ID and password, go to icloud.com and log in there using your id/password to test this info.  If you can log in, then you're using the right id/password.  If you are, be sure the mac is connected to the internet.  Let us know what happens.

  • I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, as a result nothing will work on my phone and I cant access emails!

    Do you have a new Apple ID to use in NZ? If not open iTunes Store. Log out of your old Apple ID, then try to login. Select Create Apple ID from the dialog that appears. Make a new Apple ID for NZ with a NZ email address. Once that is approved and verified, log into the iTunes Store with the new Apple ID. This should fix all other issues.

  • TS1538 I was attempting to update iphone 4s today, laptop went flat during the last stages. The iphone now only displays USB cord, with an arrow pointing towards iTunes emblem. iTunes will not accept/read the iphone. HELP??

    If you have the latest version of iTunes you should not have to download the ipsw file separately as jalp suggests. iTunes will download it automatically.
    This error (9) most often means that your antivirus or firewall (or router) is blocking access to Apple's servers. In rare instances it can also mean that the phone was hacked (or "jailbroken") to unlock it. If this is the case you must do a DFU restore, not Recovery Mode, as follows:
    Reboot your computer
    Disable your antivirus and firewall. If you has Kaspersky you may actually have to uninstall it, as it can never be turned completely off.
    Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. DO NOT connect the other end to the phone
    Disconnect all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard and iPhone cable.
    Launch iTunes
    On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. The screen should be black. If it has an Apple logo this means you held both buttons too long. Release the HOME button and do it again.
    While holding the HOME button connect the free end of the cable to the phone.
    After a short while iTunes should recognize a phone in "recovery mode" (iTunes doesn't know the difference between DFU and Recovery modes, but the phone does)
    Release the HOME button and don't touch the phone or the computer until the process completes or you get an error message. Ignore any displays on the phone.
    If the error recurs the phone was probably messed up when it was hacked. This is not a hardware problem, or if it is, it isn't one you can fix.
    You can try repeating these steps with a different computer and a different cable. If that fails also the phone is probably not repairable.

    We have some information in this article that may be helpful:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:

  • Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps.

    Whenever I update from Windows 7 get error 1602, iPod shows USB connection to iTunes, but iTunes will not recognize the device. None of the Apple documentation helps. The Apple Mobile Device driver is loaded and operating. The anti-virus software and firewall are not at fault (were uninstalled, and made no difference). The iTunes on my older machine running Vista does recognize the inoperative iPod (iTunes has detetced an iPod in recovery mode) and allows me to restore the device. Can anyone help to resolve this problem on the Windows 7 PC?

    So yu tried all of this:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If you had then time for an appointment at ther Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory settings

    itunes will not recognize my iphone 5s and i need to reset to factory setting because the phone is locked and cant remember passcode

    Hi CMC08,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resource below will explain what to do if you forgot your passcode and need to restore your iPhone:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/ht1212
    Erase and restore
    If you can't remember your passcode, you'll need to erase your device, then use a backup to put your data and settings back on your device.
    Recovery
    Mode
    Use these steps if you've synced your device with iTunes.
    Use these steps if you have an iCloud account and have Find My iPhone turned on. 
    Use recovery mode if you can't sync or connect with iTunes and don't have an iCloud account.
    I hope this information helps ....

    Itunes will not accept my debit card info it keeps sayin that my security code on the back of my valid card is invalid.. Ive looked online an ive done what other people had said to do but nothing worked

    You have to make sure your iTunes address and your cards billing address are exactly the same (including capitalization and spaces).
    Or you could just run off gift cards.
