Password shows as incorrect ONLY on desktop

For about a year now, every time I launch iTunes I get an "incorrect Apple ID password" dialogue. I followed through and reset my password several times, but that has never solved the problem. It's perfectly fine on my iphone, ipads, etc, and it's perfectly fine for logging into my apple account and obviously for logging in to use this site. But logging into the desktop iTunes doesn't work. I'm COMPLETELY fed up with it and have no interest in continuing to change and change my password (and then having to reset it on all my devices) when it doesn't resolve the problem.
I've tried logging out and logging back in, and now I'm just frozen out of iTunes.
I've tried your standard troubleshooting (typing it where I can see it then copying and pasting it, obviously rebooting, etc etc etc.)
Any ideas?

My guess is there is more than one Apple ID and password associated with your iTunes account.  As you may know, several accounts (Apple IDs) can be authorized on one iTunes version on a computer.  Consider whether you have other Apple IDs authorized and go to Store > Deauthorize This Computer for these others.

  • When I login to Horizon View, it shows me the list of desktops to connect to. If I'm entitled to only one desktop then can View auto connect me to that desktop instead of me clicking on Connect?

    Yes you certainly can.

  • [kde] "Only show tasks from the current desktop" doesn't work for max

    Hi,
    I have two monitor setup (laptop + main monitor) and I would love to use "Only show tasks from the current desktop" option in KDE Task Manager but for some strange reason it doesn't work for me. Well, it works but only partially - for restored/unmaximized windows. When I maximize one it appears on the Taskbar on both screens. Is this normal? May it be due to the fact that I've placed Taskbar on top of the screens?

  • Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password. Started up from OSX install disc 1 and selected password reset from utilies in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good). What can I do?

    Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password (which I had already changed.) Followed instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Started up from the original OSX install disc 1 and selected "Password reset" from "utilies" in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good as the support website underscores: Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.).
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your suggestions. Antonio

    Not familiar with that version of OS X but try using Terminal and type in resetpassword. If that brings up a password reset screen is your original username shown?

  • My MacBook Air shows only the desktop, the "dock" has disappeared. This happened before, and a technician said it had to do with the settings. Does anyone out there know how to retrieve the "dock" so it reappears?  thanks,  roger

    My MacBook Air display shows only the desktop background, the dock has disappeared. Does anyone know how to restore the dock to the desktop?  thanks

    The dock can be configured to automatically show and hide when moving the mouse cursor over the current location.  You can try to move the mouse over the dock area to see if it appears.  Hopefully it will, and if you don't want that setting you can then change it to show permanently in the System Preferences > Dock settings.
    If that doesn't work you can change the dock location in the preference settings to align on a different side of the window to see if it appears.  That's all I can suggest at the moment.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Is anybody else having issues with Google Calendar events showing up incorrectly on weekends only.

    My Google Calendar syncs with my iPhone and it seems that since the last IOS upgrade, weekend events are showing up incorrectly.  For instance, an event that should be Sunday 7pm until Monday 7:30am shows up on the calendar view from Sunday 7:30am until 7:00pm.  When I click on the event to edit it, it says that it is Sunday 7p-Monday 7:30a (which is correct); it's just displaying in the wrong timeslots on the calendar view.  My Time Zone is set correctly, and this is only happening to events on the weekend.  Other events that are identical show up correctly on weekdays (Monday - Friday).

    So, don't use youtube.

  • Why do certain apps were not showing up in creative cloud desktop manager

    I'm not so sure on why this error message shows up every time I logged in to my computer. Here’s my scenario…
    Every time I try to open the Creative Cloud desktop manager and it will not launch as if it’s not working. So I saved a copy of their installer so that I can reinstall it every time I login. Yes EVERY TIME. Once the CC desktop manager shows up, the only app that shows up is LR. But as I check my Control Panel, Photoshop CC, Dreamweaver and Acrobat was installed. However, as I try to launch those three programs, that error above shows up. So my daily routine is to install a software and use it. Then tomorrow, same routine again. I’m doing this process for a month now and I’m getting tired of it as time goes by. Is there a possible solution for this? I’ve tried to uninstall and reinstall it again but having the same loop over and over again. Thanks for the help! I’m using Windows by the way.

    It seems that the problem is still there. The usual routine of mine.
    First I opened the Creative Cloud desktop launcher and nothing's happening. It's not opening as if it's not installed. So I tried to run the installer again and it pops out and it only shows that Lightroom is the only one installed. As you can see on the photo above, it shows that Dreamweaver, Acrobat, and Photoshop were installed but it's now showing up in my Apps list. I tried to open Photoshop and it requires me to log in to my Adobe account before I can continue using it. Before, I can use it even if I'm not connected to the Internet. But now, there's this sign in page and I need to be logged in to my Adobe account before I can use Photoshop. Is there a possible solution to this?

  • How do I view only the desktop with icons and the finder?

    I have a hot corner set up to show the desktop.. in Snow Leopard when I exposed the desktop and then clicked on the finder in the dock *just* the finder would show.
    Now, with Lion, when I click on the finder it comes into view but all the other open applications come sweeping back in hiding the desktop.
    Can I change this back to the way it was before? Or is there another sneaky quick way to show only the desktop and the finder? Set up an entirely different "desktop" in mission control dedicated only to having nothing open in it?
    In short: I need a fast way to drag icons from the desktop into folders in the finder. Also, this is driving me nuts.
    thanks to anyone who can help.

    If you can see a patch of Desktop, with a program (any program other than Finder) window active, hold down both Option and Command and click that patch of Desktop. This will auto-hide all windows for all other programs and switch focus to the Finder/Desktop at the same time.
    This works when going from any active program to another, except that the Desktop itself will not get hidden (open Finder folders will get hidden).
    To bring a program's windows back to visible status, just click the program's icon in the Dock. For open Finder windows which are hidden, just click the Desktop (plain click).
    If you want to hide the windows of just one program, with it the active program hold down just the Option key and click in the window of another program (the Desktop or a folder window counts for this purpose). All windows of the original program will be hidden, and focus will switch to the second program.

  • Digital Video Camera not showing up as device on desktop

    I have a 6 year old sony digital video camera. I am able to connect via firewire and upload video using imovie without a problem. It shows up as an option in imovie as dv-vcr. However the video camera does not show up in the desktop and when it is connected I can't find it being recognized anywhere using spotlight. So I am unsure of how to disconnect it. Normally if it shows up in the desktop I would just 'eject' it by dragging to trash. But now I just turn it off and unplug it. When I do it that way the 'did not disconnect properly' message shows up and my external harddrive that is plugged into the other firewire port disappears. Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Hi mpagriffin
    Try this: with Finder on the menu bar go to *Finder / Finder Preferences* and select General, then check all the boxes for *Show these items on the Desktop*.
    You also might check to see if it shows up and ejects in Disk Utility?
    note: that some devices won't show up on the desktop, my wife's Canon will only mount in and eject from iPhoto while all of our other camera's mount on and eject from the desktop.

  • USB External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop

    I have two USB external drives from the same manufacturer. One is for regular storage, the second is for Time Machine and movies.
    The first one shows everywhere, on the desktop, in finder and in Disk Utility.
    The second drive shows in Disk Utility only. However, it is functioning fine with Time Machine. So it is mounted. I have tried several repairs, and it reports no fault found. So it is certainly functioning correctly, but a setting or error in the operating system is not allowing it to be viewed in finder, or on the desktop.
    Any suggestions.

    Correction: Title should be Firewire External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop.

  • Show view options/Show item info - only half working

    Used to be that all my photos in a folder showed the dimension under the name. Now, even tho I do:
    Show view options/ and check Show item info, only some of them have the dimensions. And what's really funny is that the portrait oriented pix have the dimensions, but the landscape oriented are missing the dimensions. What's going on here?

    must've recently done something to the Landscape ones...
    actually, the workflow I mentioned was applied to only one folder of pix, both port. and lands., but now, even other folders are affected, ones that I didn't run the workflow on. If I go to iPhoto, export some pix from last year to a folder (saved to anywhere), same results, port. have the dim.s below, landscapes do not.
    And now for something completely diff... So I have a folder of pix on my desktop I just imported from iPhoto. I see dim.s under the port.s, none under the land.s. I open a lands. with preview. I rotate ccl, then clockwise (back to original orientation, right?), save, close preview. There it is in the folder WITH the dim.s under it. What kinda ghost have I got here?
    Just to mention, I bought a Touch. It launches iPhoto when I attach it to my MBP (so it can sync the saved photos, only when I have some on the Touch). Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Tx 4 th response, BD.

  • My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to homesharing, iTunes and renting/buying anything.

    My atv says my password/username is incorrect when I try to login to anything. I know both my username and password are very correct for they work on my mac, iPhone and iPad but whenever I try to rent/buy something on my Apple TV or connect to Homesharing or my iTunes it says something is incorrect and I must change my password. I have checked and double-checked that I am not making a spelling or upper/lower-case mistake. My network works because I can browse/search movies and TV shows and I can watch previews but once I try to download something the same problem appears.

    Thanks...was having the same problem and gave resetting the Apple TV a shot...already just resetting let me get on my home network, when before, I was unable to get on and had to use my Verizon MiFi.
    It is now working...thank you!!!

  • HT204053 My Apple ID shows up incorrectly on my Iphone

    My Apple ID shows up incorrectly on my IPhone - Is there a way to get that corrected?  Everything is correct when i check it on my computer at Apple.com.

    Showing up incorrectly in what way ? If you've updated your account and it's showing its previous details on your phone then tap on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and log out of it and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the phone.
    If you mean that you've created a new account and it's showing the old account when trying to update your old apps then it will - content is tied to the account that originally download it, and only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you mean something else ... ?
