After the latest iTunes update, why does it keep asking me to enter my password to check for downloads?

After the latest iTunes upgrade, every time you open up iTunes, a window pops up asking you to sign in with your Apple ID to check for available downloads?  Why is it asking this if your account is already stored on the computer?  How do you stop this from asking each time?  Thanks.

  • HT201371 Why does it keep asking me to enter my password at least once a day when buying apps?

    I have touchid setup yet when I go to buy apps it asks me to "verify" by entering my password. What a load.... Why can't it just take my fingerprint?

    Read here & make sure it is enabled:

  • TS1372 After the latest iTunes update iTunes no longer sees either of my ipods.  Diagnostics says no ipod connected.  However my laptop, which is running Window 8.1 does see the ipod.

    After the latest iTunes update neither of my iPods are recognized by iTunes, so I am unable to sync.  When I run diagnostics it says no device connected.  My laptop sees my iPod so I know it is connected.  I have tried all of the recommended iTunes fixes and none work.  I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.  The older version would not reconize my music libray.  Any thouhts?

    I tried deleting and reinstalling both an older version and the newest version.
    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

    The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:
    C:\USERS\<user name>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update
    Right mouse click the msi file and select INSTALL

  • Exclamation point appearing beside songs after the latest itunes update.

    Good Afternoon,
    After the latest Itunes update songs in my the majority of my songs in library now have an ! beside them.
    The songs in question appear to be ones that I have brought over from my older devices (downloaded from CDs), I know how to transfer music from my I-pod to I-Tunes and I have had to do this is in the past when I got a new PC however I don't want to go through the process of re-transferring these songs from my ipod back to my itunes again.
    However If I have to go through this process again is there a way to cement these songs into my I tunes library and will not disappear again after the next update?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
    If you are having problems, see if the following helps.
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

  • Hi, i'm having trouble with syncing my iPod. (after the latest iTunes-update)

    It's a classic, but I have no idea what generation... but it was bought in early 08, and have 80gb. Anyway, it has been working fine all the time, but by the latest iTunes-update, it has stopped working. (mac) Every time I try to connect it with my computer, iTunes says that "this iPod appears to be destroyed, try to restore" (I'm having iTunes in Norwegian, so not sure if this is the direct translation, but hopefully you'll get the picture) - and I try to do this, again and again, but nothing seems to work. I have tried to turn off the computer, put iPod in disc-mode, let the battery run out, give it a two-week break, and now I'm out of guesses on what to do. But no matter what I do it allways appear to have zero songs on it after I am done syncing, and I allways get the "try to restore"-message when i connect it again.
    It's possible that it's just old age or something, but I really want to try everything first, as it seems to be all right otherways. It also works when I connect it with my friend's  PC, but since she has ****** taste of music () it's not an option. I have a MacBook, also from 2008.
    And just to clearify. I have an iPad2, and an old iPod nano (2006) and both works with my computer/iTunes.

    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

  • IPod Touch (4th gen) will not sync music after the latest iTunes update

    I'm using iTunes on a PC with Windows 7 and after the latest update (iTunes 11.2.2), it will not sync with my iPod touch 4 (also updated to the latest possible version - iOS 6.1.6).
    Before the update there was no problem with the sync. And this iPod has always been synced only with this computer, and this iTunes library.
    After the iTunes update, several songs on my iPod were greyed out and unplayable (the library plays fine in iTunes).
    Now, when I try to sync, iTunes goes through all the steps, saying it finished syncing, without any error message but there is no actual change on the iPod.
    I've tried deleting all the music on the iPod, to resync the entire music library anew.
    Again, iTunes went through all the steps, finished "syncing" and nothing - and, of course, all the music on my iPod is now missing.
    When I check the "On this iPod" option in iTunes, the entire song list shows up there but appears greyed out and unplayable.
    On the actual iPod device, there is absolutely nothing in the Music app - no songs, no playlists.
    The iPod always shows "no data" in the Music app.
    Sometimes iTunes shows that I have 18GB of music on the device, sometimes it shows 0GB ...at one point it showed "no space available". But it has plenty of space - 23.5 GB of available space out of 32GB.
    To fix this I've tried the following:
    - automatic sync, manual sync, manually adding/deleting songs on the iPod, autofilling and replacing songs;
    - resetting my iPod by holding the (on/off and home buttons) and resetting through the "reset all settings" option on my iPod;
    - reset and restore from backup;
    - uninstalled and re-installed iTunes on my PC.
    - I've run the diagnostics tool in iTunes - all tests passed;
    ...plus various other suggested solutions I have found in the similar topics around here.
    (I've checked and there are no restrictions to the songs, the computer is authorized, etc.)
    Absolutely nothing works and it is very frustrating, as I usually only use the iPod for the music.
    Please help.
    Violet

  • After the latest iTunes update, itunes says it syncs but never removes anything.

    Is anyone else seeing this issue. I have match turned off to begin. When I sync it syncs in name only. I remove things off the of either itunes or the iPad2 and it syncs right back. I tell it to remove things and they don't go. It is very frustrating because I am using up and running out of space and it is being caused by all thing old stuff I cannot successfully dump. Anyone else seeing anything like this.

    Yes. It is strange. When I removed apps for example I would remove and iTunes would say the app is still found do you want to import. Yes and it syncs or no and it removes them. After the last update it no longer does that. I should say that it is completely hit or miss and it almost appears completely random as to what it does. Best example. I had 6 magazines loaded. I removed them in iTunes and it did not remove them off the iPad2. Then I went in and removed them manually and one of them synced itself back to iTunes. Just 1. I checked and I do not have match turned on either.
    Makes it feel like delete is a polite request that iTunes may or maybe listen to.

  • Why does apple keep asking what my apple id password is when i open a app? and when i don't have wi-fi, i can't open the either. it just shuts down.

    hi my name is vitrieh kromontono.
    i have a problem with my ipod touch 5th generation.
    thank you.
    regards,
    vitrieh kromontono

    Likely yo have an app  or other iTunes medai trying to download or not completly downloaded.. What happens when you enter the password when connect to wifi?
    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>iTunesd and App stores and sign out and sign back in
    - Sync to your computer
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?
