I have an iPad mini 5 that I do not use very often. I use it when I go on trips, mostly for games, so very little personal information on it. So, getting ready for a trip, I wanted to add some games, and when I try to download, I get the message, “Apple Account Password
Enter the password for jmilt7@gmail.com to enable new fingerprints for purchases made using your Media and Purchases account.” The thing is, my Apple account’s email address is my “Mac.com” address. I don’t know how or why my Gmail account got associated with my Apple account. I don’t even use my Gmail account anymore. Needless to say, neither my Apple account nor my Gmail passwords worked. I also don’t know what a “Media and Purchases” account is. I can’t find it in settings. And just last week, I downloaded a game, and I was successful. The message I got asked for my Apple account password, but it had my Mac.com address in the message. So, it worked then, but not now. The only thing I have changed is that I have enabled TouchID. Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
