Q: Trying to download iTunes Publisher, Apple states apple ID unable to download. What do I do?

I am trying to publish on iTunes. However when ever I try to download or signup the prompt states that my Apple ID does not have permission. Then I log in through iTunes and It states my account already is active? I'm confused.

iTunes Publisher, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    A signup process for either a free or paid books account needs to be completed.

     

    This is in addition to (and different from) your normal iTunes account/login.

    Thank you for replying. I have done tried to do this a number of times as a paid seller. Everytime I try to set up the account i get:

     

    The following error(s) occurred:

    • The iTunes Store account entered has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore. To continue with this application, you must enter a different iTunes account.

     

    I have not set up an account before, this is why i am confused.

     

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

     

    Thank you.
