Playing songs asks for my Apple ID/password

When playing songs on my Iphone, I'm asked for my Apple ID/password.  My current ID password will not allow these songs to play.  The songs that it does this to are older songs that were purchased under a different password.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    You can remove the Airplay password from the Settings menu on your AppleTV.

    You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new.

  • My apps keep asking for my Apple ID password

  • Iphone keeps asking for wrong apple id password

    So my phone kept asking for my apple id a few weeks ago, spamming and spamming it, on my 4gs, and i couldnt figure out the password so i couldnt log in. then just today i got the iphone 5, and created a new apple id, not using my old one for anything... yet it keeps asking me for it when im trying to update/download apps. ive tried to log out and log in again.. doesnt work. i dont know whats wrong?

    My son had a similar problem when he got a new macbook. It would not let him update software on his brand new macbook.
    Calling Apple support did not get it resolved.
    Emailing iTunes (because they don't talk to you directly) didn't help. (somehow it was related to iTunes)
    Making a Genius appt at the Apple store helped on the second try.
    It should be they just delete the original id but I guess that is not done lightly due to thefts.
    If I were you I would still call, email, and then get to the Apple store if you have to.
    They had told us it was a rare situation and a complicated fix.  That was last year and maybe it's easier now.  Good luck.

  • On my ipod touch 5th version i cannot open an app without a tab asking for my apple id password popping up. I cannot close the app until i hit cancel and i do not want to put my password in because i do not want to pay for anything.

    How do i stop tabs asking for my apple id coming up? i do not want to buy anything and i am not currently buying anything.

    What do you mean by tabs? Are they windows?
    Why not enter you password? Just do "purchase" any paid apps.

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

    Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?

    Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
    You bought a device that can never function so get your money back.

  • When I download from App Store I don't get asked for my Apple ID password!

    I am having a problem with ensuring my children are not downloading expensive apps on my iphone4 and our older iphone3.  The problem is I am not asked for my Apple ID and password once I've signed.  How can I ensure it comes up every time?

    if that is such a hassle then why don't you just tell your kids they are not allowed to download any apps without asking you first?

  • Why does my itouch constantly ask for my Apple ID password after updating to OS 5.1 even when I just leave it alone?

    Ever since I updated to OS 5.1 my itouch has been asking me for my Apple ID password roughly about 6 times a day when I just leave it alone, like I'm not even downloading anything for it to even ask for my password so what is the deal? I've already tried doing a hard reset, still the same. And no I have not done a factory restore that's just a last step I'll ever do, it's just annoying to be constantly asked for my password.

    You might have some app updates or other itmes that are trying to download.

  • IOS 8 New iPhone 6 iCloud is asking for nonexistent Apple ID password

    I just got my iPhone 6 and chose to restore it from an old iPhone backup. Now for iCloud it's asking me for the password to an old Apple ID associated with an email that doesn't even exist anymore. It's trying to verify me via email to that nonexistent email address. When I try to delete that iCloud account, in order to delete it it's asking for the password to this old/nonexistent Apple ID. I can't even reset the phone without this old Apple ID working. I tried changing my current ID to this old one, but then it wants to send email to that nonexistent email address. Help! I'm stuck in a loop.

    I have the same issue. The new address is fine when I use iTunes and on my iCloud account, but my iPhone has my old e-mail address and when I try to change it won't accept my new or old password to be able to do so.

  • HT204053 I let my friend put his ipod on my itunes. I got a new iphone 5 and when i try to update apps,i put in my current apple id and then it asks for his apple id password, which i dont know and i want to get rid of his.

    When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.

    Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

  • When downloading an app it asks for my apple ID password multiple times and never downloads the app

    When downloading an app on my iPad 2, it asks me to verify my account info, and when I type in my password, it does nothing except keep asking for my password.  It is not incorrect when I type it in, it just keeps asking for the password.

    Go into Settings > Store and make sure your Apple ID information is exactly as it is in your iTunes account on your computer.  Make sure your address is exactly the same.  For example if your in iTunes on your computer is 1234 Jackson Street, it can't be 1234 Jackson St., on iPad.  Make sure your credit card information matches exactly as well. 

  • Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

    iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • I recently updated to ios7, and synced my phone with my wifes itunes library.  now, when I try to update my apps on my phone, I get asked for her apple ID password, instead of mine.  We have tried re-syncing my phone to my itunes already

    Resyncing my phone did not fix the problem.  I also tried going into my store settings, on my phone, and logging out of my ID, and logging back in.  It still shows her ID, but only when I am trying to update the apps that are already on my phone.  I have to enter my own ID password to download new apps.
    I deleted all of the apps off of my phone, and redownloaded them (from the Cloud), and that still did not work. 
    Does anyone know how to delete my wife's apple ID from my phone completely?

    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    All you need to do is delete those apps belonging to your wife.
    Check Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > your own Apple ID here. If not, sign out here and sign in yours.
