Itunes will not accept my apple id password in the store.

when I enter the store in itunes 11.0.1, a message popps up telling me to enter my password to enable automatic downloads. When I enter the correct password, the same message pops back up instantly. If I enter the wrong password, it tells me so in red. I can not do anything with the store, because it will not accept my account. I can purchase on other devices with the same account and password with no problem.

You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account.  Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer.  Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

  • I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

    Hi,
    As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password.  I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

    Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
    Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • ITouch says connect to iTunes, itunes will not accept it due to password.

    My iPod touch has a screen with a USB cable pointing twards the iTunes logo, and I assume that means to connect it to iTunes. When I hook my iPod up to my computer, however, iTunes gives me a message saying "iTunes cannot access this device because it has a passcode lock on it." The problem is, however, that I cannot type the password in on my iPod, because it will not move from the "Connect to iTunes" screen.

    Bump. Help needed PLEASE.

  • App store will not accept my Apple ID Password

    I try to connect to the app store to download and app or update existing app
    i click on "get" for a free application downloadm the system just keep on asking me for password , it seems that for 3-5 sec it starts the download process and then again it asks for the password
    I try to use "wrong" password and i get "wrong password" notice, so i know that i am using the rigth passward - it just wouldnt connect.
    i try to "open" the option to use my fingure recognition optino for App - this is also asking for the password and go back to "close" and wouldnt allow me to use it.

    Test your Apple ID & Password at id.apple.com.  Click on Manage Apple ID, and then sign in.  If it works, then try this.  Close the app.  Restart the device.  Open the app up again and try to log in.
    If the password doesn't work at id.apple.com, then reset the password.
    Also, take a moment to double-check that it really is the exact same Apple ID.  I've seen issues were there was a misspelling and someone ended up with two very, very similar Apple IDs ( example:  'b•••••@g•••••.com & b•••••@g•••••.comz)

  • 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...

    IF your imessage is saying waiting for activation then do this:
    backup your phone to itunes or icloud.
    then on your phone go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
    once the process is done, you can restore from the backup you made, then you should be able to activate your imessage.

  • Mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    mail will not accept my apple password since setting up iCloud?

    Hi there.
    Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
    I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
    I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
    So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
    Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
    Thanks!

    I have moved from the UK to New Zealand and Itunes will not accept my new Zealand bank details, I am trying to change my details on the Iphone 4s

    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??

    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.

  • When starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names

    when starting up after a erase/reinstall of Mac OS X 10.6 it will not accept any of my passwords/names, I had just entered my info and clicked on "continue", the cube began to turn and froze, a translucent screen came over the whole window and request that I restart the computer, after doing so, I got the start up sound and a message saying that OS X was starting up and then the sign in window, but when I entered my info it kept shaking/rejecting it, only thing I can think is that could I have possibly entered my password wrong twice, don't know, I'm still scratching my head.

    Do it again, I'm afraid. Be sure you set up the initial admin account with a proper password you can remember - all lowercase letters and numbers. No special characters or spaces except for the "_" underline character.

             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
