Locked out of iTunes store

I was using safari, was looking at a site, a message came up in the middle of the screen telling me "someone in my city wants to be my f...kbuddy". I tried to exit... locked on the site. Turned off the iPad.... turned it back on - site still locked in. Eventually I pressed OK..... then later went to update some Apps. The Apps store then told me I cant as "my account is not valid in the US store". I went into my account..... it was showing UK store (I am in Australia). I changed that ... but I still get the same message when i go into Apps. Can anyone help... I am about to leave Australia for US in a days time and need my iPad to be working.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hi MaraAndKaid,

Locked out of ITunes when tried to change user ID

Tried to download OX Lion to migrate Mobile Me to ICloud.
Went to App Store to buy Lion, tried to change Apple Store User ID in ITunes and got locked out.
Can I get back in without talking to someone? thanks.

Do as the manual says and restore the ipod.

Dont know answers to outdated secuirty questions locked out of itunes

How can I reset security questions for my sons phone it was done years ago by my neice and she has no idea answers to her questions. We are locked out from buying things. Apple support cant call for days help.....

Unless you previously set up a rescue email address, you need to wait. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID; you won't be able to transfer purchases or iTunes Store credit between them.

Why is my Mac locked out of iTunes Match?

I spent the $25 to purchase iTunes Match on my family's shared media iTunes account and the day the service went live. I then set it up with our Mac Mini, the computer that serves as our family's media system. The iTunes account in question is relatively new, only a few months old. Prior to that, my wife and I were using our individual personal iTunes account to purchase apps and media. It wasn't until I realized we were going to need an account we could all share that I decided to create a family account. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I wanted to show my kids "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" while the adults continued their after dinner discussions. A year ago, I bought that television program from iTunes on my personal account and knew that I could now download it through iTunes. But when I switched over to that account to download it, the computer automatically become un-"associated" with my shared account account and "associated" itself with the old account. And now, I cannot use the account that was used to set up iTunes Match, on the computer for which Match was purchased in the first place. As of right now, I apparently cannot re-connect that machine to Match for another ninety days, which is nearly one quarter of the year for which I purchased the Match service.
I find it troubling that Apple is punishing me for accessing media I have purchased in the past by locking me out of a service for which I have paid. Both accounts are associated with my name, both accounts are associated with the same credit card information, the only thing that differs is that they associated with different email addresses. This all seems very esoteric and not very customer service oriented, and this is coming from an owner of numerous OS X and iOS devices. This is an issue that is going to come up more and more for Apple's customers as more people buy in to the iTunes/iOS/OS X ecosystem and try to make the best possible use and sense out of it all. My attempt to get resolution to my problem through Apple Support was met with a very flowery, "tough ****," from a customer support representative. Neither the choice, nor the response are suitable. What efforts, if any, are being made to try to make this more workable for people like me, trying to make the best decisions while moving ahead in the iTunes ecosystem?
Is there a fix for this, or am I just going to have to eat it and not use the service I bought, on the computer for which I bought it, for a quarter of the time I paid for?

I did contact them. I put in a ticket immediately after discovering that I was locked out. I asked for help or in lieu of that, a refund. Two days later a customer support representative contacted me via email to offer nothing in the way of help and to tell me that a refund was not an option per the iTunes EULA.
I am very disappointed by how this has been handled thus far. iTunes Match seemed like a wonderful service, but being punished for reasons that are entirely unclear, has really soured my opinions about it.

Can anyone help with "session timed out" at iTunes store?

I am trying to purchase music from the iTunes store and I am being asked to accept Terms and Conditions to continue which I do - I check the box and I click on accept (immediately). At this point I am told that my session has timed out and to try again. I cannot get past this step, I'd appreciate some advise. Thank you.

I used to see that in iOS6 once in a while. Close the apps and reboot the iPad and then look in the apps again. You know how to close the apps so close them first.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Is there a way to auto sign out from itunes store when itunes is closed?

We have multiple libraries on one PC (Win7). Each user has their own Itunes account and their own Itunes library. When Itunes is closed and then reopened into a different library, the Itunes Store remaines signed in to the last user who signed in. I would like to automatically sign out of the Itunes store when Itunes is closed. Anybody have a suggestion?

Hi,
iChat and Messages 7 (Mountain Lion) had a pane in the App Menu > Preferences called Alerts.
This could see the Sounds in iChat (or Messages), the System Sounds defaults and anything you had stored in ~/Library/Messages and you could set any of these Sounds to any of the 17 actions as a global choice
As in Maverick if you highlight a Buddy in a Buddy List and then use CMD + i (Get Info) you could similarly set sound to individual Buddies.
You cannot do this in Mavericks/Messages 8 as the Alerts Pane have disappeared.
You cannot turn Off the sounds the app makes for the various different actions such as Video Invite or File Transfers.
You can no longer set individual Buddy sounds either.
There has not been a way to do this for iMessage Contacts.

Need to Log Out of Itunes Store

Every time I try to install an application I have to enter my Applestore password, but my girlfriend had logged in on my ipod with her account and now it will only ask for her password. How to I switch log ins. I've tried logging out of the Itunes store, but it still remembers her ID and asks for her password.

When you get the prompt, you can overtype her ID with yours, and then enter your own password.

Vista locks up in iTunes store

I tried installing the up to date video driver (ATI Radeon 2400 Pro). Updated to the newest version of itunes. But still when in i-tunes store the monitor goes blank or gray and I have to do a hard book to get out of it.
Any advise?

Perhaps the app was purchased through a different iTunes Store account? If so, and you're not signed into that account, the app will give you a notification of an avaialble update, but will say that no updates are available, (which is technically true since it refers to that account only but is rather confusing).
Hope this helps.
