Hi Pat,

Sorry to read of your log-in problems. I do not know if you have one or 
multitude accounts with Apple hence requiring different passwords for each 
account.

From my perspective I have two iMacs and 1 macbook and 2 iPads all registered 
under the One i.d. Hence when accessing Apple's App Store, the one identity and 
the one password work at all times.

Not being an expert in your particular situation, I wonder if you are 
registered with Apple under two different identities, hence the need for 
different passwords etc? Or else I have misunderstood the problem.

Kind regards,
