Your password has been incorrectly entered too many times. Go to the...

"Your password has been incorrectly entered too many times. Go to the iTunes Store on your computer and retrieve your password."
I keep getting this message, but when I go to iTunes, it lets me in with no problem and I don't know where I should be going to retrieve my password. Additionally, my Mac-based iTunes Library keeps disappearing from the Apple TV menu and today it started streaming (videos from my iTunes library) extremely slowly for some reason which I cannot discern. I don't know what the problem is, but my daughter is getting very frustrated that Word World keeps pausing every minute or so to buffer.
Any help would be fantastic!

I, too, am getting this error. Mine is on my Apple TV (black) and seems to happen any time I switch between items on the main menu screen. Apple recently prompted me to change my password for my Apple ID account. However, when I get this error message, I just select 'OK' and go on. It does not seem impact watching any content streamed from my Mac nor does it impact accessing Netflix...
Other than being a nuisance, I haven't been able to find what is causing it and what limitations are resulting from it. I'm also not sure where I can go to update the password this Apple TV is using.
Thanks for any help you may provide.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT1430 my daughter's ipod has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts. The ipod was not synced to a computer. How can we get it started?

    My daughter's ipod touch has been disabled after too many wrong password attempts.
    The ipod was never synced to the computer so can't connect to itunes.
    How else can we enable the ipod touch again?

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  In your case, choose any computer with iTunes software.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.

    This will tell you how to restore
    iTunes: Backing up, updating or restoring iOS software
    If you cannot restore that way, you may have to use recovery mode

  • HT5622 seems like every 3-4 days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been reset,if you didn't change it go to etc'

    ipad 4
    ALmost every few days I get an email from Apple saying your password has been changed.... if you didn't change please go to Apple and change your id password
    I have had to do this for the 7th time in 4 weeks

    If you are receiving e-mail messages that indicate that someone is trying to reset your Apple ID password, they may be phishing scams. Do not click any links in those e-mail messages, and if you make the mistake of doing so, do not provide your current Apple ID password on the page you are directed to.
    Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be done except treat those messages the same way you would any other spam.
    The other possibility is that someone is actually trying to reset your Apple ID password. This may be due to a malicious attack, but more likely, it's just someone who thinks your Apple ID is actually theirs (due to a typo, faulty memory or something similar) and is trying to "regain" access. In any case, this is merely an annoyance, but you can put an end to it by enabling two-factor authentication on your Apple ID. This will require an additional piece of information that only you will possess in order to even start the password reset process.
    If you are actually seeing your password getting changed, and are having to reset it yourself to regain access, you are being hacked. This could be because your password is not strong enough to withstand a brute-force attack by a botnet. It could also be because the attacker already has access to your e-mail address, and is able to intercept the reset e-mail and complete the reset process. Because of that danger, you should change the password for the e-mail account associated with your Apple ID. You should also change the password for your Apple ID, making sure that it is a strong password, and enable two-factor authentication as mentioned above.

  • App Store drawing: "You have entered too many times today"

    There's a limit of 25 entries per day in the current App Store giveaway/drawing/whatever, but on the second try filling out the webform (http://www.apple.com/itunes/billion-app-countdown/entryform/), I get a "you have entered too many times today" error. Anyone else get this?
    Edit: I just tried it again and it worked. Apparently you have to wait five minutes or so between entries, which is reasonable. I guess they didn't have the budget to write two different error messages.

    Yes. There are instances when you will get that error. That is if you have added to many credit cards on your account. You can contact email support for more information.
