iTunes password not valid on iPhone 3.0

Hi all

I was wondering if you can help? Since upgrading to 3.0, my password for iTunes on the iPhone keeps coming back as invalid when I put it in. Its ok on my MacBook's iTunes, and it worked before the update to 3.0.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Macbook, iPhone 3G, Mac OS X (10.5.7)

Since 3.0 has not been released yet it is difficult for anyone here to help you. If you are using the 3.0 GM downloaded from the developer site you need to use that site (which you have access to since you are a developer, or you are seeding for a developer), then go there for help. If you got it from a torrent site you are on your own.

I'm encountering the same problem-on the public release of 3.0.

I am having the same problem. I'm sure its only because the servers are having issues again. It will probably work later on tonight.

Hey, lucky you! I've been getting the Server Busy message for hours. Nice work getting ready for the release...again!

It works for me. I can't imagine what your problem could be. Good luck.

This is still not working when you do a complete restore to 3.0 that was released on Wednesday. This is very annoying. Is there anyway of setting up another iTunes account and transferring apps you have already purchased on your old iTunes account and move them across to the new account?

I'm having the same issue on my 3G iPhone. I just downloaded the free iTunes song Tuesday night, before the 3.0 upgrade last night.

Just out of curiosity is everyone using apple id or aol screen names?

Same problem here, with one exception, it seemed to recognize the password, etc. for a while, but it showed no new updates available. Then it showed 15 available and it says unable to connect to iTunes.. It's very frustrating. 😟 I hope Apple has a fix soon.

It just worked for a few seconds (connected to iTunes account), then when I tried to log into account again, it said cannot connect. Wish it weren't just us AOL email addresses, because it might take longer to get attention...although lost revenue from apps store should get someone's attention!!! Is there no customer service email address we can alert about this?

I solved this on my ipod touch by accessing my itunes account on the desktop, deauthorizing all computers, re-authorizing that computer and then syncing the ipod again. Once the sync was complete it was fixed. Hope that helps.
