I’ve had the same Apple ID password for years. For some reason, after installing iOS 14 my Apple ID password won’t work. I tried to download an app from the App Store and needed to enter my password and it kept saying it couldn’t connect to the Apple server. But I definitely had working wifi. Has this happened to anyone else? How do I fix this?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 14
See if anything here helps.
App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - If you can't connect
Some other things you can try. Do you have access to another WiFi network where you can try? That has worked for several people.
Try a restart.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Try a forced restart.
If necessary
Do a backup and try a factory reset. Then restore from your backup.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
wait, I've been having this exact same problem all morning. iTunes connects and logs me in and plays music just fine from my phone or from the browser webpage. But the desktop iTunes app on my desktop and laptop can't make a secure connection to the iTunes store despite being perfectly connected to my internet. What did you do to fix this?
Thank you everyone. Everything is back to normal. Have a blessed day.
You are welcome.
