why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

  • Why can't I sign into the iTunes store?

    I've been trying to sign into the iTunes store for months now. Since v10 released, I have been unable to sign into the store, use Genius or any other feature that requires an active store use.
    I can sign in here (obviously) but when I try to sign in IN iTunes, it trys for about 30 seconds, pulls up the review dialogue and then goes back to asking me to sign in before I can review my information.
    Sometimes it pulls up a Welcome page that looks like it's all text without any of the formatting or bells and whistles.
    The fact that this has been going on so long, that I've found LOTS of other users with the same problems and that there is no fix for it annoys me to no end.
    Has anyone, anywhere found a fix or heard anything about this problem being patched? Should I try reverting back to 9.x version of iTunes?

    Try refer to this article to delete SC Info.sidb file:

  • Cant sign into the itunes store. Already verified email and have been signing in for a year.

    so i was trying to redeem a movie today and when i got to itunes and clicked redeem it asked me to sign in and i did and it said this. the apple I.D cannot be used for the itunes store. Can somebody plz help

    I did notice that you said everything you have obtained you've legally bought.  Because if there was anything in there that you didn't buy with your AppleID but WAS purchased with another AppleID this will happen.
    If this is not the case their is a possible issue with your account.  Only reason I say this is because it's happening on both of your computers.  So both of them have the exact same library?  Do you have another computer you can sign into the itunes store that has none of your content on it and if so does it continue to happen?
    Have you tried un-installing and re-installing itunes?  Are you up-to-date on both versions of iTunes?
    If there is an issue with your AppleID you might need to contact Apple and get an RTA sent to SSE(Site Support Engineering) to troubleshoot your account.

  • I am trying to see my iTunes billing history.  I sign into the iTunes Store but where do I go from there?

    I am trying to see my iTunes billing history online.  I sign into the iTunes Store but where do I go from there?

    You can't see your purchased history for the purposes of seeing what a purchase cost, when it took place, etc. on the iPad. You can only do that on a computer in your iTunes account.

  • I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?

    I can't sign into the itunes store using the 3G network?
    I keep getting the error "Can't connect to the iTunes Store"
    This also makes it impossible for me to use itunes match with the 3G network.

    I've got this as well and it seems to have affected only the Music and Home pages - do a search in the search bar and you will get to the films etc. Looks like somone goofed! If anyone from Apple checks this out, mine is the UK store. Home page and Music pages only affected.

  • Why does a box asking me to sign into iTunes keep popping up?

    Last night I logged on to buy something from one app.  It froze up on me.  When I went into one of my other apps purchases had been made. 
    Now I have the little box pop up asking me for my pass word.  But I wasn't trying to buy anything.

    When you buy an app (or music, etc), that item is forever associated with the Apple ID that was used to buy it.  If you later change the connection to the itunes store (i.e. use a different ID) you will need to provide ID and/or password of the old ID.
    Sounds like this is your problem.  Be sure your itunes store account is the old one.

  • How to sign into the iTunes store without a credit card?

    For the past little while I have been very frustrated with itunes. I don't have an apple device, but I want to start legitimately purchasing the music I listen to (I live in Canada, so downloading music is legal, but I'd still like to purchase music to show support for artists I like)
    So anyways, I download itunes and it says to make an account. Okay. So, I follow the steps and then it asks for my credit card information. I don't have one right now, so I just left it blank. Suddenly, RED BOXES. D: I hate red boxes. So I can't even create an apple ID, eh? Hmm..
    So I go to the apple.com website and create an apple ID from there. Success! I can now go to the app store and get ready to purchase music...right? Wrong! "This apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes store. Please review your account information."
    Ooookkaayyyy...... so I follow the steps and once again I get to the billing information, which it won't let me skip, so I can't even sign in. I've done some googling and apparently there is or used to be a "none" option for the credit card?? Where has that gone? Why is it not there anymore??! >_>
    What can I do do get around this?
    TL;DR- I am so not apple savvy. Help me.
    Btw, even when I put in the little code thingy for an itunes card in the itunes card box it still wants me to enter credit card info. :/
    Eeeehhhhh..... Uhm, never mind. I guess I might have typed in the code wrong or something because it works now. Sorry for wasting youur time, everyone. I'm new to the whole apple scene, I'm an android convert... lol

    Hi tarameikle,
    Well, bummer! I'm putting a link to the article that shows you how to set up an iTunes account with "None", but it requires a new Apple ID. If you are setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID, a Credit Card is required....
    This is the link for putting in "None" with a new Apple ID:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    This is the link for setting up an iTunes account with an existing Apple ID:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2589
    It does say that once you have set it up with a credit card, you can change it to None (there's a link for that embedded in the second article).....but it appears that it requires a credit card to start with
    Hope this info helps.
    Cheers,

  • Suddenly being asked to log in to the Itunes store when using an app

    When I turned on my IPad this morning I found that when I opened an app the "Sign in to ITunes Store" request came up. This seems to happen with all of the non-native apps I have on my device. It does not affect any of the native IPad apps (Safari, Calender, Camera, FaceTime etc.) I am reluctant to type in my password given the fact that this happened suddenly (the device was working normally yesterday) and only affects the non-native apps. I have not downloaded any new apps. I upgraded to IOS 8.3 several weeks ago without any ill effects. I have an IPad mini 2. Has this happened to anyone else.

    Were the apps on your iPad purchased with the same Apple ID you are currently logged in with?
    Try logging out of the App Store then logging back in.
    Settings->iTunes & App Store-> tap your Apple ID & sign out.  Sign back in & see if that resolves the issue.
    Also check for any pending downloads (stuck apps in waiting)/purchased music....this has also been known to cause odd login request behaviour.
    Hope this helps!

  • TS1424 Can't sign into the iTunes store because of "unknown error", but my password and email is correct

    That's basically it
    I have the right info, but it just says "Unknown Error"
    I can sign into the apple website alright, just not the store

    i think what i did was instead of clicking the little button that has your email to sign into your account, i instead clicked "redeem" on the iTunes store homepage ((cause i wanted to redeem an itunes gift card)) which asked me to sign in, but that time my details worked?? idk but yeah if you try that it might work!

  • Can't sign into the iTunes Store.

    Bought a new computer with Windows 7, installed iTunes today and wanted to log into my Apple account in the iTunes Store but it kept giving me this-
    'We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.'
    I have no idea what this particular message relates to... network connection? Apple ID problem? I'm not sure. I've tried restarting my computer and simply restarting iTunes itself but it hasn't done anything. Anyway, I'm at a loss as to what I should do now! Any help to offer? I just want to sign into my account to download songs I've purchased, since the music's been wiped from my phone now because I synced it to the new computer.
    I don't know if this is needed but my computer is an Alienware X51 R2.

    I was having the same issue ... unfortunately my fix may not help you as I am using a mac but I followed an apple support recommendation from this webpage http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which under the "Troubleshooting on a Mac" said "You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Click here to find out how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain" I repaired my keychain and miraculously I was able to log in to itunes again. There is also a page link there "trouble shooting for windows" so there could be something there that might help which is equivilent to the mac keychain?  Hope this works for you too!
