Your itunes store password was incorrect

A friend of mine is getting this frequently. At least 5 times last month. When I reset the password from the I forget webpage all is fine until it happens again. She is not doing anything different from what she has done the past several years! Anyone know what gives here? I searched google and it seems many users have complained but I found no lasting solution. Any info would be welcomed. Thnx

I have the same problem here. i have a 3GS black 32G and i have had the same problem since i got my phone july 19. i noticed i am only allowed one download, it being music or a app from itunes using my phone, everytime i sync my phone to my computer. After i download my app or song i cant download anymore till i sync with my computer again. If I try it will first tell my my password is incorrect and if accepts my password then it will tell me "cannot connect to itunes". it is a pain it the *** cause i cannot download anything while i am away from my computer. Well i am allowed one download but i have to pick one i really want cause that is all i will be able too till i connect with my computer again.
Apple needs to fix this problem cause if i cant download more the one song or app at a time whats the point of having itunes on the iphone if we cant download anything. i alway have to be at home with my computer to download anything.

    Try from a computer.   You may have to reset your password.  If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question.  Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

  • Itunes store password is incorrect

    Hi all,
    I tried to update my apps, clicked on "update all" and then entered my password. I get a warning message that my Itunes store password was incorrect. Tried several times. Powered off the phone, tried again. Went to itunes on my PC and opened the store, password works fine.
    I am using a 3gs with ios 4
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Ron

    When you change your USER ID (which is generally your E-MAIL), Itunes for some reason gets confused... Any apps, music etc. purchased off the itunes store before you made the change still bring up the original USER ID to update, authorize etc. So if you try and enter the password without changing to the new user ID, even if the account is technically the same, you're going to get "incorrect password" or "can not connect to itunes" or possibly "account doesn't exist". I found this out the hard way when I upgraded from XP to Windoze 7.

    Having the same problem on my iMac.  I've tried everything to do with connection problems in the Help article re: the iTunes store with no results.  Also contacted Support, which referred me to the Help article and to the Support Communities i.e. here; no dice.  I get the idea that something's mixed up here; they told me it was probably my internet connection rather than an iTunes issue, but according to my diagnostics the network is working perfectly fine.  It has to be something on the far end - especially since there would appear to be no less than four people with the issue.

  • Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook

    Cannot access iTunes Store from iPhone 4. Message says 'Your iTunes password was incorrect. Please try again'. I have tried resetting the password on my macbook. What should I do?

    I'm having the same problem as well.  I use keychain access often to remind me of my passwords and was happy (initially) to see one for "iphone backup".  When I entered it I got the same error message: 
    "The password you entered to unlock your iPhone backup file was incorrect. Please try again."
    Really frustrating.
    I searched many ways online, finally I tried "iPhone Backup Unlocker" to help me unlock encrypted backup password efficiently!

  • What to do when your iPad keeps asking for the iTunes Store Password

    I was using my iPad last night when it just started asking for my iTunes store password and I was browsing the web in safari. I just entered it and scratched my head. Later I was playing a game - the same prompt interrupted the game.
    http://skitch.com/mbrad/dru2p/full-screen
    It happened about five times before I finally went to the settings app and signed out of the app store. I don't think it's related to any one app since the prompt was happening at seemingly random intervals no matter what I was doing (even on the home screen with no app "running")
    Signing out seems to have corrected the problem. Apps still run and I will try signing in again later once I need to download anything. I haven't done much other than update 5 apps earlier in the day.
    Does anyone else have experience on what caused this?
    Here's what it's not:
    1) Time - I checked the date/time on the iPad - they were within seconds of my mac which sets time automatically on the internet.
    2) Password wrong - I downloaded a free app from the store app on the device after entering the password - so the password was fine for a purchase/download after the prompt. (Yet the prompt came back again within 30 minutes)
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Thanks for the suggestion! I did have two downloads for free songs I got from a card at Starbucks. They started but never came on my iPad (and that was 4 days ago). The store error is happening only yesterday - possible but a long time after the "failed download". I just got those songs after your suggestion on my mac by checking for available downloads. Maybe that was the root cause?
    Add rebooting to "here's what it's not" - I forgot to write that down. Also - I was not interested in restoring the iPad - like taking a firehose to water a flower, that certainly would fix it at cost of overkill. (and maybe only until the backup was restored if the file causing the issue is something that would be backed up).
    The problem seems to be that the device either doesn't save the password or something is causing it to be periodically marked as bad. Both ideas have me scratching my head. Rebooting didn't resolve the issue - only signing out from the store.

  • I changed my iPhone lately but i can't restore my last backup since it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I don't know where to put the password to make it happen... Any suggestions?

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a new iPhone but i can't restore my backup files beacuse it keeps saying "itunes could not restore backup because the password was incorrect" but I really don't know where to put the password to restore it. I really have some files that are meaningful for me so I really need help. Any suggestions anyone?

    Select your iDevice in the iTunes.
    Choose the Summary screen (tab) and scroll to the bottom of the screen.
    Then un-select Encrypt iPhone backup.
    iTunes will then prompt you to “Enter the password to unlock your iPhone backup”, enter the password you set originally.

  • I keep getting the follow error messages when I try to sign into iTunes store or redeem a song code: We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again

    I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later."  and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."

    Hello, constance132. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50. 
    "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
    See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
    Windows Vista:
  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows 7:
  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    Windows XP:
  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
    Quit iTunes.
    Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
    Enter your account name and password.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
    Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
    If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
    You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
    If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

  • "We could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later."

    When I try to open the home page in my Itunes I get the message "we could not complete your itunes store request. The network connection is not be established. There was an error in the itunes store. Please try again later." It had been working just fine, in fact I had just purchased a song & edited my itunes account. Could changing the name on my account have cause the error message or is something else going on? This is a brand new computer.

    I've got an Apple ID problem, too. All of the sudden in the midnight between August 31st and September 1st, the new apps I picked up on the App Store hung forever 'Waiting..' in my iPhone and never turned 'Loading'. When a substantial amont of time had passed, they reported, they 'could not connect to the App Store' and .. disappeared! Well what they told was not perfectly true because I could however connect to the store as I could browse and pick the apps, but the apps just didn't load. I tried to log into my account in iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop, too, and there got exactly the message in the topic title.
    It appeared later my Apple ID did not completely fail because when I switched from my home WiFi to the phone 3G, everything worked just as nothing happened. Logically, this intimated my WiFi had flaws. Or, some place between my WiFi router and Apple servers did, to be precise. My router was not to blame because I did no changes to it whatsoever.
    All right, it is Saturday today and my ISP is running in unmanned mode meaning no hotline, but I call them on Monday unless the problem disappears by itself. I just wonder what I say, because from non-i-world point of view everything works well, and I know for sure guys in the ISP support don't own any i-stuff, (because they are all android fanatics) . I'm not telling them my Apple ID to let them reproduce the problem on their home equipment, which means I come almost totally proofless.

    All you can do is wait. Apple should have spent the money they allocated toward making iOS all white on network infrastructure to handle the traffic flow during the upgrade rollout.
