My apple TV will not let me purchase items direct from iTunes and I am logged in. why?

I have nmot been able to rent a movie from my apple TV. I am logged into iTunes. When I try and rent a movie it tells me that I need to varify payment on my computer. I have then rented a movie from my PC but this will not show up on my apple TV, and indeed the "rented Movie" option is not in my movies list. I have the latest version of softeware, 3.02, and have tried resharing the library. No Joy
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you are using the correct location in the Apple TV store settings.
Try changing a few details and changing them back before updating when you verify in iTunes, also check that your details are correct (ie that you have filled the state field out properly and so on)
Rentals don't just show up on the Apple TV when you have rented then on your mac/PC,you need to transfer them.

I needed to go to my account page then to billing and re-verify my code, because i was accessing my account from a new device. once i did this everything is fine as the device is now authorized on my account. Allthough, it does not show up under devices on my account page?
Many Thanx to me for the help.

OK, I have fixed it here. Here's what I did:
quit iTunes
trashed ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.plist
started iTunes, and authorised my account
Worked straight away after that !

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

TS3297 Ive purchased a lot of lives on candy crush and it will not let me purchase anymore how do i fix this issue

Ive purchased a lot of lifes on candy crush back to back and it will not let me purchase anymore, what do I do?

What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

I have money on my account but it will not let me purchase music can someone help? pls

I have loaded an itunes gift card to my itunes account and it will not let me purchase any music can anyone help with this

What exactly happens when you try to buy something ? If you've already removed the card from your account then iTunes shouldn't be asking for any details about it.
If you log into into your account is the card still shown . On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

What does "it will not let me purchase it" mean exactly? Are you getting an error message?

My apple TV will not let me use my gmail account to log in to Youtube. Is it because it is the same email account I use in my Apple ID?

My apple TV will not let me use my gmail account to log in to Youtube. Is it because it is the same email account I use in my Apple ID?

I'm having the same problem.
Error message reads: This account cannot be used with Apple TV. Please sign in with different account.
I'm using my gmail account to access Youtube as i do on my Mac. I have a completely different Apple ID account.

I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?

- Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
- For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
- Instead, try restoring from backup.

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1441?viewlocale=it_it
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Hello aweirandyski.1975,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device. You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.
