Can't sign into my itunes account?

What version of iTunes are you running?

iTunes 9.0.2.
Trouble logging in for a couple of days.

1. Always have logged in with my username only.
2. Now requires me to login with my username@me.com.
3. When I log in with my username@me.com my account details (top-right hand corner of iTunes store) states username@mac.com.
4. All my previous purchases state in Info that my Account name is just username.
5. Now logging in with username@me.com (username@mac.com) any new purchase list the Account name as username@mac.com.
6. My account two days ago (just username) had credit on it. Now its gone because I can no longer log in under that account.
7. All purchases under that account that have updates are not available because I cannot log in.


ITunes & iPhone error message:
This Apple ID is not available.

Also, tried logging in to send this reply and I received the message This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Why???

So I reset my password - to the same password and had a few teething problems, but have now managed to login.

Note: me.com has not been affected. There has been no issues with my login for my me.com account.

----------------------

But wait there is more....

I just thought I would try it again, because I had just reset the password through Apple Discussions, and I can now login with just my username in iTunes. All seems to be working as per usual.

Why there has been an issue with iTunes and Apple Discussion, and not with logging in to http://www.me.com - I don't know???

Perhaps this will fix your problem as well - reset your password.

Weird!

Hi,

I also reset my password and it still says " apple id has been deactivated." what should i do? I already waited 8 hours until before i tried logging in again and it still doesnt work. Is there someone from itunes that i can talk to?

please help!

are you connecting using a router? i have been unable to connect to the itunes store since before christmas until yesterday when i changed the mtu on my netgear router to 1400. i had been experiencing problems connecting to secure sites like paypal bank etc. These are all ok now. when i ran itunes diagnostic test the only problem was the secure connection to itunes store.

Hi. It would be very much appreciated if you could plese explain how to change the mtu. I've been trying all evening, but each attempt fails!!

Thank You
Rebecca

I can't sign in either. For more data on this thread, this started when I tried to access the iTunes store, and it would just sit there. It would never connect and there was no error message. Decided to "sign out" to see what would happen and then sign in again. Now, when trying to sign in, this happens:

"could not complete your iTunes store request. an unknown error occurred (-50)"

Same here

"could not complete your iTunes store request. an unknown error occurred (-50)"

i have this same issue since yesterday, unable to log into the store, and gives me error (-50), when i try viewing my account from itunes

So how do you fix this problem?

This has been going on for 3 week. First will not connect to store - have tried un-install and re-install twice - no good. Podcasts were still being downloaded - BUT today - oh joy - podcasts will not transfer to my Touch as my account will not authorize. Prompt to authorize over and over ......and over.... losing the will now.........
