Why does it keep asking for my password ?

Why does it keep asking for my password when i open the APP STORE ? Theres no updates and i aint downloading anything. Any help ? Thanks.

It shouldn't really ask you anything. One way to possibly forestall this from happening again would be to register and enter your own ID and password. The system won't ask you for anything else, since it has all the user info it needs.
When is it asking you questions? When the App Store opens? When you click on hyperlinks to documents?

  • Why does iClod keep asking for my password?

    Why does iCloud keep asking for a password? I don't remember asking for this and if I try to turn it off it threatens to delete my calendars off my mac but keep them on some else's server!

    Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sing back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  See if that stops the prompts for the password.

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

  • Why does Outlook keep asking for my password

    Did you use the two-step authentication for Outlook? Is this a separate app from the native iOS mail app?

  • Why does icloud keep asking for my password since installing iOS 8?

    I installed iOS 8 on my iPhone 5S last night and now everytime I unlock my phone I am prompted for the iCloud password.
    I tried to turn off icloud but it says it will erase all my photos.

    Same here too (I have an iPhone5). There are a few more threads about this btw.

  • Why does FaceTime keep asking for the password for my email account?

    Is it secure to provide the password for my email address to FaceTime?

    Usually when that happens it is a problem on the mail provider's end.
    In time they will catch it and it will end. Until then, there's nothing you can do on your end.

  • Why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    why does mavericks keep asking for my login password?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Why does mail keep asking for my e-mail password?

    This is crap!
    I have the most advanced laptop on the planet and all of a sudden, one of the core applications starts asking for a password EVERY push!
    I have input and re-input the the password both on the Live site and in Mail ... this is getting OLD!

  • Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

    I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
    I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
    Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
    My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
    This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

    Entered incorrectly?
    Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
    Reset Password is the next option.
    If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
    iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
    That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
    And to the comment
    [Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
    Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
    Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
    If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
    Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

  • Why does my Mac ask for my password when I try to make a change on my external hard drive with Time Machine?

    I recently formatted the hard drive to do a fresh install of Mavericks on my Macbook Pro Retina. I then formatted my Western Digital 2 TB External Hard Drive for Time Machine. I then began storing others files and folders on the external hard drive along side the TIme Machine Backup folder. Everytime I added a folder or changed a foler name it asked for my password.
    This has never happened to me before using any other OSX.
    I apologize if this has been resolved before, I'm new to the communities and have yet to find a solution.

    It is not a good idea to be storing other Stuff on your Time Machine drive. You may need an additional separate hard drive for those things.
    Once you tell Time Machine to use a Drive, Time Machine owns the Drive. You (as a User) do not have permission to put things there. If you insist, it will do it, but wants your Admin password to do it.

  • Why does CC keeps asking for login? Keeps showing up as trial.

    Since about a week ago, when I launch any Adobe CC it keeps asking me to login. Afer I login, it says that it's a trial version until it syncs up with my account with a "registration" button. I have to do this every time I launch any Adobe CC product.
    What gives?

    iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
    I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
    To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"
