Troubleshooting app store with apple ID and password

Hi there, I have an iphone 4, ipad and my son has an ipod touch. We have previously downloaded music, apps etc. but all of a sudden we can't access the itunes or app store. I have gone in and changed everything hoping this would fix the problem but it hasn't. I can log in to view all of my information, which tells me I have the password etc correct, but when I try to sign in for updates to my apps or to download music, a message comes up that says "cannot connect to itunes store' and that's all it gives me... (this is for all 3 devices so it is obviously connected to my ID and/or password)....
anyone else have this issue?? EXTREMELY frustrating...
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

Oh, and I can access the internet from all 3 devices as well....

Updated ipad2 to ios7 and my apps ask for Apple ID and password to open. It then goes right back to main screen

I updated my ipad2 to ios7 and restored backup. My apps now ask for my Apple ID and password. It then goes right back to main screen without opening. Help please

- Try going to Setings>Store and sign out of the account and then sign back in.
- Reset the iPod. 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

App asks for Apple ID and password?

Hi,
I've just downloaded Whatsapp 2.11.4.ipa which is and older version of Whatsapp. I did it because I want to use Whatsapp in iOS 6 design. But when I launch the app, it asks for my Apple ID and password. Is it normal?
The same thing had happened when I once downloaded an older version of YouTube, too. Then I had uninstalled it.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.2

Downloaded it from where? If you got it anywhere other than through the app store, what you have is an illegal bootleg. It's asking for the ID/password of the original purchaser.

How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro

I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?

Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro.

IOS6 upgrade issue. error message "could not sign in could not communicate with server when attempting to log in with apple id and password. Any ideas?

To finish the upgrade setup, can't get past the screen where you need to log in with your apple id and password. Error message appears "could not sign in" "Could not communicate with the server." Tried a reboot, but that didn't work or get us anywhere either.

Go to Settings then down to Facebook then select account then delete account and select remove info and re enter your user name and password and then it will work again

HT4623 Cannot sign in on my iPad with Apple ID and password. Everything is correct, but I keep getting a message that an error occurred during activation. Try again.

Any help? I am unable to change my settings because my iPad is not recognizing my Apple ID and password. Everything is correct,but I keep getting the message that an error occurred during activation. Try Again.
Thank you!

Try this. Go to Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also correct.

Can you no longer sign out of the App Store with one ID and then sign in with another?

i can no longer sign out of an Apple ID on the App Store and then sign in with another. I did this in order to share games with my sons. Is this no longer possible? When I try it now I get a message saying he will have to wait 90 days before he can use his ID again.

The page that I linked to, associating a device and the 90 days, has been around for a few years (at least 3), but from what some people have posted on here the association doesn't always kick in.
Are the apps that you might want to sync in the computer's iTunes library that you sync his iPad to, or have you got copies of them somewhere so that you can add them to it and then sync them instead of redownloading ? If they were bought on a different computer, and are still on that computer, then you should be able to copy them over to his iPad's computer - by default an iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
There should be a 'Mobile Applications' or similarly named directory under it - copy the apps to a flash drive, if not already done so then authorise your account on his iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) and then add them via File > Add To Library menu option

Why do Apps that I downloaded to check but then deleted, still appear in App Store with a cloud and an arrow pointing down next to them?

Greetings!
I clicked on a few free game Apps to check them out. After deciding I did not want them, I deleted them from my iPad by leaving my finger on their icons until it started shaking. However, each time I click on the App Store icon, I see the same game Apps there as "purchased" Apps, with a cloud and an arrow pointing down from it, next to each App. How can I get rid of them once and for all?

You can't it's only a history. The apps are in the cloud and not taking up space on your iPad.

I have received 6-8 messages from Apple indicating that someone has downloaded an App using my Apple ID and Password. Each time the

them doing this.

Hello Geotra,
As the e-mail did not originate from an Apple e-mail address, I would avoid taking any action as indicated in the message. I would recommend marking the message as spam and reporting it to your e-mail provider if possible.

Cannot connect to App store using apple ipod and windows vista

My Apple IPOD isn't letting me into Itunes

Is it safe/secure to enter one's apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?

Is it safe/secure to enter one's Apple id and password (e.g., email, icloud, Facetime, iTunes, etc.) when attached to a public wifi?
I would imagine this applies to any iOS mobile device. I need to set up a video conference at a local library meeting room. I was going to use my MacBook Pro and Facetime. When I open Facetime on my MBP, it prompts me for my Apple id and password. If I were to enter it when connected to a pulic wifi, is the transmission of my account info visible?
What about when connecting to something like an Optimum Online hotspot where I need a username and password to access the wifi? Is that any more secure?
Thanks

Thanks. I had heard stories of Apple ids and passwords being stolen when using pulic wi fi.
Thanks again.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
Let me know how you get on?
Thanks.

Open Sysem Preferences from your Apple () menu top left in your screen then select the Firewall tab.
Make sure the Firewall is turned off.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???

There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
