Why isn't my apple ID email address working to log into iTunes

I have created and verified my apple ID; however, when I try to update...or log in to the APP Store or Itunes...It says I have to verify my info since ive never used my apple ID with anything before....but it won't recognize my email (my Apple ID) as valid and won't let me move past that point?

could it be the cookies? how do I set cookies preferences?

  • I changed my apple ID email address - can't log out of iCloud

    I changed my apple ID email address some time ago - I'm trying to log out of iCloud on my iPad but as 'find my mac' is enabled it wants the password in order to sign out, but the email address is the old one (greyed out); it says password or ID incorrect - yes the ID is incorrect, but can't be changed!
    And BTW in my iCloud account under the new addres, no devices have 'find my mac' enabled

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    What does this mean? My iPad doesn't "open to" any email address and never did. Are you talking about a pass code issue on your iPad? Log into your iPad?

  • Why isn't the default outgoing email setting working correctly?

    In my mail preferences I have send new messages from a specific email address selected. However, mail just keeps sending from the inbox address I am currently in. I really need the default to work. It used to before I upgraded to Mountain Lion.

    I am having the same problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion.  If I don't change the option in the composition window ("From" tab), it chooses another server, mostly the iCloud address.  I want it to just use the default at the moment.  I wonder, if other people are having the same problem?
    Thank you,

  • A form field (for a client fax number) on my own web site is remembering my email address used to log into the site. The usual clearing of the remembered entry works OK, but evey time I remember the login it automatically populates this one field with my

    The form where this happens contains an email field as well as a password field, so it does have both of the fields that are on the login page. It is used to modify the details of the user of our site and is accessed by the administrators, not the users themselves. To auto fill the fax field (which is named _fax) with my email address is very strange. If I log in as a different admin user then the email address I use to login appears in the field. The password field is also appears on the form and is being populated, presumably with my password. How can Firefox get it wrong and put an entry in a field with a different name, and why that field and not other empty fields on the form?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

  • Apple TV will not let me log into iTunes Store

    Hi, Any help appreciated! I have just purchased an Apple TV and it will not connect to my iTunes Store, it gives me the message "User Name or Password Incorrect" but they are NOT, I can log into the store through the Macbook without any problems, I have tried friends accounts and get the same message, Been on the phone to support for 2 hours NO HELP!

    Add me to the list. I just bought mine & can't log onto the Apple Store to rent/purchase. I can on my MBP.
    I've had the same thing happen when I tried to enter my YouTube username & password. It wouldn't accept it. I thought it was a fluke w/YouTube. Apparently not so.
    So, I can't buy or rent movies/TV shows. Exactly why do I want this gadget?
    How about an update on the Apple site that just recognizes these problems & promise a fix?

  • Why does my iPhone 4g keep giving me notifications to log into iTunes when I'm already logged in? Also it tells me to put in my voicemail password and my iMessage doesn't work. How do I fix this?

    MY iPhone 4 just started to give me a message saying to connect to iTunes for notifications. I have checked my iTunes and it is connected properly. Also it keeps telling me to put in my voicemail password over and over. Another thing is that my iMessage is not working. Please help its very frustrating!

    You appear to have multiple problems relating to corrupted data or settings on the phone.  To fix:
    Restore your phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new phone without using a backup.
    Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software

  • Changed Apple ID email address problem :(

    So I changed my Apple ID email address. I logged out of my account on my iPad when it had my old email address for iCloud and iTunes(and the App Store) and logged in using my updated email address. It worked with iCloud but for some reason the iPad will ask me to login using my old Apple id email address in the App Store even though I updated my email address in the settings and even though at the bottom of the screen (when I open up the App Store) my new email address is there. Now I cannot update my apps or download new ones because my iPad keeps asking for the password to the old Apple id email address that I no longer use and it's ext frustratin. I've repeatedly tried to login out of the App Store and re-enter my updated info but it doesn't change a thing. I've even tried to reset the iPad and log in with my new email address but that does not work either.... What else should I do?????

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • I want to switch my Apple ID email address with my "rescue" email address, but it won't let me - how do I do it?

    I want to switch my Apple ID email address with my "rescue" email address, but it won't let me - how do I do it? Thanks

    As far as I understand the way that it works, you won't be able to do this. You are trying to switch two email addresses that are already associated with your Apple ID and therefore, cannot be switched as such.
    Each address is already in use, you so can't make the switch. If both email accounts are active and still work, why rock the boat anyway?

  • How do I get workshop reservation confirmation emails to go to my new Apple ID/email address?

    I changed my Apple ID email address and receives there fine now.  However when I signed up for a couple of workshops, the confirmations went to my old Apple ID email address.  I checked Manage my Apple ID and the Apple Store account and it all has my new email address so not sure why the workshop emails are still going to my old email address.

    I'd contact the store directly offering the workshops.

  • HT1363 hi, i use an old but great black photo/video ipod. Suddendly it won't recharge, when connected it emits several clicks and an ipod icon appears together with the apple support email address. I have tried to restore and reset but it won't work. Any

    hi i use an old black 60G photo/video ipod. Suddenly it won't recharge, when connected to the pc it emits several cicks in serires and then it shows at intervals a low battery signs and another sign, a sad faced ipod icon with the apple support email address. Any clues and to how I can rescue it? Thank you very much. Alf1962 

    I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
    When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

  • TS3988 i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    i changed my apple id email and when i sign into iCloud on my phone it still comes up with the old email and my password isn't working for it?

    Try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • The email address used to Sign into my icloud is no longer active, this is different than my apple id email address though. How can I change my icloud email address to my current apple id email address

    When I received my iphone 4s 3 years ago the my apple id and icloud email addresses were the same, it was a student email from the college I attended. This account is no longer active, but when I changed my apple id email address to a current email (gmail account) the icloud address didn't change over. I now have no ability to sign into icloud on my phone and icloud hasn't been updated in nearly a year. I wanted to figure out this problem before I upgraded to the Iphone 6 this December. Is there any way this is possible?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You should still be able to use your college email address, just log in with your details.
