Mac App Store won't accept my password

Ok, well I sent tech support an email about this yesterday and never heard back, so I guess I'll give this a go...
The main problem is I can't access my account in the Mac app store. Everytime I enter my password its says "unkown error occured".
I did change my password yesterday before this problem arose, I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but the new password works in iTunes...

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

I have reset my password and my I cloud and App Store won't accept the new password

Normally it's the Apple ID that's tied to your content not your password (You can change your password every day if you want to). Try again and choose the option I forgot my password and your will get an e-mail how to go about it.

App store won't accept my password

App store wouldn't accept password, refused three times so I had to change it. Same thing happened again. Message says 'unknown problem'. Yet I can sign in to My apple ID and to this help page. What is going on?

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try again.

App store won't accept correct password

Only one of my devices won't download apps. The password is correct. I can even go to safari on the phone and log in to my apple Id there. It doesn't say my password is incorrect. Ive tried using an incorrect pw and it informs me it is wrong.. I have signed in and out. Closed all my apps, reset multiple times. Plugged it into iTunes and checked the account was right. It just keeps bouncing me back to putting in the password.

I have the same problem. App store dont accept my correct password. I reset the password. Finish all application. I try new session in settings. Not works.
I update to IOS 8 and dont work too.
And now, some applications doesnt work and I cant to update or install news.
Please, help me!!

HT204266 App store won't accept my password. My wife has an iPad also and it keeps bringing up her email address. How can I cure this?

How can I remove my wife's email address and password from my app store account? I am trying to update apps and it won't let me use my info. My wife has an iPad and an account, some way the info got on mymipad.

You can log out out of the currently logged in account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and you can then log in with your account - but if any of your wife's apps are on your iPad then only her account will be able to download updates to those apps as they will be tied to her account.

Mac app store does not accept my apple password

The Mac App store does not accept my password for my apple ID. A red line appears that says "an unknown error has occured." The ID and Password are being typed in correctly, I am 100% sure of that. Credit card is up to date. Itunes is working fine and logged in to Apple ID. Ipad and Iphone are logged in, working fine. Have not installed Maverick, still using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. I was going to update to Mavrick, but not sure I should with all the negative reviews and now this problem. Please help, thanks!

It's been reported that Apple's servers are having problems tonight. Just try again later.

My mac app store won't load and when click it nothing happens happens

my mac app store won't load and when you click it nothing happens...it was okay for the past months but now i don;t know why it won't open...please help...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

What do I do if the Mac App Store won't except my code for the OS X Mountain Lion code?

Hello milkisoo,
Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused.
As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment. However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear. This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order, resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed. Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
Thank you for posting.

ITunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?

iTunes store won't accept my password from my iPhone 5 this morning. Ideas? Know issues?
And no matter how many times nor what I change the password to I cannot log in to purchase music.
Help!

I tried "resetting" my password, but b****y iTunes just keeps asking me for ANOTHER password, and won't accept the password I want to use! I'm getting mighty fed up with iTunes - I'm a senior citizen, and my memory isn't as sharp as it might have been, so passwords HAVE to be fairly simple and OBVIOUS to me. I can't just keep thinking up new passwords because they are getting more and more irrelevant, and I will NEVER remember them.
What am I supposed to do now?
I can't use my iPhone when I'm out of the house, because it won't recognise my new email address and password. I can't use BTFON because it needs my password, which I can't get iTunes to accept.
I can't get the bloody thing to do anything, and although it cost me £600 when I bought it 2 years ago, I'm not very happy with it any more because I just can't get the thing to do anything.
HELP!!!!
Bill

Mac App Store Won't Sign Me Into My Apple Account

Today, I was going to download and install an app from the Mac App Store. So, I opened the App Store, found the app, and clicked download and then install. Of course, it popped up the box to sign into my Apple account. I typed in my e-mail and password and click "sign in". It began its little turning-circle "loading" icon on the little box (not the beach ball). But nothing ever happened. After 15 minutes, I forced quit App Store and tried again. Again, same thing. I did this a total of three times. So, I decided not to touch it and just let it run its course. Well, it's been at least four hours now, and no change. Still "signing in", but nothing's happening. Has anyone else had this problem? Because I can't find anything anywhere about this on the discussions site. Help! Please!

Go to Settings > Store and sign-out. Sign-in again using your Apple ID. Of course this won't help if the apps were purchased using your friend's ID.

Mac App Store won't allow re-downloading of deleted apps

I am experiencing very glitchy behaviour with the Mac App Store. The store can't tell when individual apps are deleted, and therefore won't allow re-download. This has been going on for a while - when I click on the Purchases tab all Apps are still listed as Installed and the button is greyed out - I can't click to re-download. At the same time, an app that I previously did download and later removed called Cobook won't delete from the computer - after a few minutes to an hour it will re-appear in my Applications folder.
I have done a clean re-install of Mountain Lion trying to fix this problem, however the same problem exists even after a re-install - Apps that had been deleted prior to the clean install are still greyed out in the Purchases tab, and can't be re-downloaded. The only way that Apps can be re-installed is to use Time Machine backup. I am concerned that this means that updates also aren't working, since the App Store doesn't seem to know what Apps are on my computer and which ones aren't.
Yes I am using the correct Apple ID assocaited with the purchases. My purchase history shows up just fine in the Purchases tab, its just that they are stuck showing that they are currently installed, even the ones that aren't.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2, 21.5" iMac (mid-2011).

The problem is possibly worse than I expected. Since the clean re-install, now any App purchased and downloaded via App Store won't appear in the Purchases tab. So in other words, although the download seems to work correctly, and the app works, the App Store seems to lose all track of it. Which is a problem for paid apps.

ITunes store won't accept my password

Just changed ISPs (from Orange Wanadoo to BTInternet. Had the 'engineer' come out and do all the connecting stuff because I ALWAYS get it wrong.
He said he had connected everything and all would be OK.
But it isn't.
I wanted to check email on my iPhone, and it wouldn't. Took my phone to an O2 shop (where I bought it from) and bloke there got it going eventually.
Back home, I want to download the BTFON app, but when I enter my iTunes password, it is rejected.
Can't understand what is going on, and getting very, very angry with it because virtually nothing works like it did.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what to do to get my iPhone to accept an app download from iTunes?
Many thanks,
Bill
