Trouble with ipod recognizing apple id after synching - it keeps telling me to reset my password. I did

Hi! I just synched/updated my ipod touch. Now when I went to use it I received a mesg saying that the Restore was successfully completed and I just need to follow a few steps and I'm done! I follow the steps and it asks me for my apple id and password, I hit next and it asks me for my apple id email then I get a message saying to try another id, this one is being used. If this is my account then I need to reset my password at iforgot.apple.com. I reset my password and it still is not working....What did I do wrong? Please help! It is much appreciated since I am really severely technoloically challenged. THANK YOU!

Hello LeloChick,
It sounds like you are being prompted that your Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons, and even though you have reset the password, it keeps re appearing. If you have done all the steps outlined in the following article:
Apple ID: 'This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons' alert appears
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2446
I would next reach out to our iTunes Account Security team with this link:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My Iphone 4S keeps telling me to reset my password with the app store, and after I do, it still says it needs to be reset and won't let me sign in

My Iphone 4S asked me to reset my password for the app store, but after I reset it, it still asked me again as if it were invalid. what to do?

Okay - tried that and it didn't work either. HOWEVER ...
I SEEM TO HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE! If this happens to anyone else, this might help you ...
A while back I had to set up a second apple ID in order to use the iCloud. So now I have two (annoying), and from what I'm reading on forums, this has happened to many people and you still can't merge accounts. But I digress.
Apparently the apps in question were purchased on one apple ID, but the phone had the other apple ID set within the app store. The store, it seems, will only update the apps if you're logged in as the account that initially purchased the apps. So it means going to Settings > Store > Log out, then log back in with the other ID. Annoying. But at least I know, now, what's going on.
The password, it seems, was right all along (since I have the same password for both IDs). Too bad the phone's error message told me the password was incorrect, instead of saying something more useful like "This apple ID is not authorized to update this app." Or ... something like that. Apparently I've been chasing down the wrong solution due to the wrong error message being given.

I just bought a Macbook Air. I also have an external harddrive for which to transfer and save all my existing music from my PC. Will I have any troubles with iTunes recognizing where my music is located if I keep it on the external harddrive?

Check iCal preferences, the Accounts Tab. You might have duplicate accounts.

Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Did you go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign back in?

ATTENTION!! RECEIVED FRAUDULENT EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE APPLE!! I received an email informing of a purchase made on my account and telling me to change my password if did not purchase the item, which I had not. I have received valid emails from Apple

ATTENTION!! RECEIVED FRAUDULENT EMAIL PRETENDING TO BE APPLE!! I received an email informing of a purchase made on my account and telling me to change my password if did not purchase the item, which I had not. I have received valid emails from Apple in the past asking letting me know a purchase had been made and asking if I had made the purchase, but the item listed has alway been a purchase that I had made. Since I had received similar emails in the past, I didn't think anything of it. Because I had not purchased the item listed, I immediately clicked on the link in order to change my password, which has been suggested in authentic emails i had received from Apple in the past. The site I was redirected to was exactly the same as the Apple site where you go to change your password. I entered my userID and password and it stated a verification email would be sent, if it was not sent click "resend email." When I did not receive an email, after about 10 seconds I went to the Apple site and followed the SAME EXACT step on pages that were IDENTICAL to the FRAUDULENT website I apparently had just been at. When I clicked "Send verification email," I DID receive an email within seconds, which had a special link that brought me to a page where I could change my password, which I did. I later compared a legitimate email to the FRAUDULENT email and I DID FIND A DIFFERENCE, BUT IT WAS ALMOST UNNOTICEABLE unless you were really, really looking. I doubt it would be noticed by anyone if not comparing it closely to a real email. THE DIFFERENCE WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AUTHENTIC EMAIL, THERE WERE THREE LINKS THAT COULD BE SELECTED - My Apple ID/Support/Privacy Policy. ON THE FRAUDULENT EMAIL THESE LINKS WERE NOT PRESENT!!! Just today I received an email from Apple stating my password had been changed today. I did not change my password today. When I changed after getting the fake email, I did not think about my SECURITY QUESTIONS!!! If you forget your Apple password, you are able to answer the security questions in place of your ID and you get a confirmation email. Even though I changed my password within a one minute when I did not get a confirmation email with a link to change my password right away and I went dierctly to Apple's site, apparently it was enough time to take all the information on my account - INCLUDING MY DEBIT CARD NUMBER, WHICH HAD BEEN REQUIRED WHEN I INITIALLY SET UP THE ACCOUNT!!! Today I received a call from VISA FRAUD PROTECTION asking about strange activity on my account and stating they were concerned and wanted to ensure I had used the account. I HAD NOT, AND ALL THE MONEY IN MY BANK ACCOUNT HAD BEEN STOLEN!!!!! I am writing this in hopes that many people will see it and NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM. Please pay close attention to any emails you supposedly receive from Apple - If the links "MY APPLE ID/SUPPORT/PRIVACY POLICY," PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME IT IS AN AUTHENTIC EMAIL FROM APPLE. I suggest you immediately forward the email to apple, which I didn't do because this happened days ago. Nothing was taken from my money that was already on the Apple account, and nothing had been taken from my checking account. I guess I assumed there had been something wrong with the link in the email directing me to where I could change my password, plus I had gone to the valid Apple website and changed my password for real, and I guess I was thinking that changing my password would prevent someone from being able to acces my account info. PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THIS SCAM AS I DID!!!!

No need for alarm. There are several folks a day posting like threads. Most folks know these phishing attempts for what they are and merely delete with prejudice.
To the bottom line... if you wish - and I am sure Apple will take notice - you should FORWARD the email to [email protected] and delete.

This is the 4th time I have had to reset my password in 2 months, this is being generated by apple not me. I keep getting emails as well telling me to reset my password. Is this due to a hacking attempt or a virus or perhaps IOS ? What is going on??

I have a problem with my Apple ID password. I have been asked several times over the last few months for my Apple ID password and then when I go to enter it tells me that it is incorrect and I have to through the whole thing again.

If you are receiving e-mail messages telling you to reset your password, you should never click links in those e-mail messages and enter your password there! That is a common phishing attempt, and entering your Apple ID and password on the page you are directed to would give it to the hackers behind it.
It could also be an error of some kind (someone is trying to reset what they think is their Apple ID) or a malicious attempt to reset your password (stupid, since you'd get the reset e-mail, but some folks aren't that bright about this sort of stuff). In either case, turning on two-factor authentication will prevent anyone from even attempting to reset your password without additional information. See:
Apple introduces two-factor authentication
If you keep getting the reset e-mails after turning that on, it's phishing and you should just delete the messages.

How do I get Apple to send a link I can use to reset my password to my rescue email address?

I don't know my password. I do know what my Apple ID and rescue email address are. How do I get Apple to send a link I can use to reset my password to my rescue email address?

Without the Apple ID you can't get a password reset email. The link I gave above can help you recover the Apple ID as well, though, via your security questions. If you don't know those either, then you may be out of luck, though you can try calling Apple Support and asking to speak with Account Security and see if they can help, though you're going to have to prove that you actually own that Apple ID and aren't just trying to get illegal access to someone else's account.
Regards.

Photoshop elements 12 keeps wanting me to register the product after installing but keeps telling me I have no internet connection or the clock is wrong, why does it keep asking me this? I have register online via the main webpage.

Hi,
You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
If you are having problems, see if the following helps.

Good luck

My apple id was disabled. I followed the instructions, reset the password. But still gives me the same message. How do I fix it?

My apple id was disabled. I followed the instructions, reset the password. But still gives me the same message. How do I fix it?

Did you follow all of the instructions i.e. since resetting your password have you also logged out of your account on your device by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
If that doesn't fix it then contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I received an email with a virus to my gmail account. I deleted it and reset my password and have had no problems since. Would my Mac have been affected by this or is it the case that it was just confined to my email account?

HT201210 been trying to restore ipod touch for days after updating itunes. keep getting error #9. Tried it on 2 computers, with vista + XP. tried all the solutions posted. nothing is working. Thanks Apple. Didn't have this problem before updating itunes!

Been trying to restore Ipod touch for days after updating Itunes. Error code #9. Stuck on restore screen. Tried all the solutions posted. Tried on 2 computers, Vista + XP. No device shown on computer. Thanks Apple! Didn't have this problem before update. How about rolling back your update?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
