Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

Device always asking for apple password b4 downloading apps

my device is always asking for apple store password even though I'm supposedly signed on. Is that normal?

That is normal, because it doesn't want somebody that may have stolen your device to go using your money on apps you don't want.

Always asking for iTunes password

I have a new 3GS and often when I wake it up it will ask me for my iTunes password. I have entered it several times but it seems to keep happening.
Anyone else seeing this? Any possible fixes?
Thanks

My iPhone (O2,3G) also asks for iTunes passwords when it should not, but only when accessing the App store. It did not initially do this under 2.2.1 but developed the habit when an app update on the phone failed during installation. Installing 3.0 removed the problem but this morning I tried to update an app and although the install seemed to work (the app is now the newest version) there were errors during the install warning me that the installation could not be completed and I would have to download it via iTunes. Following that, the phone is back to asking me for my password every time I open the App store app.
Presumably there's a file somewhere on the phone that is created or touched when doing updates and not cleaned up when they are successful. If so, would there be any way to delete it without losing data?

What do I do to stop my emails always asking for the password?

I have just had my iPhone5 replaced with a new one, and after getting synched with iCloud my email addresses are asking for the password. have never had a password on emails...how do I stop this occuring? many thx

Yes, but for that you'll need a cellular modem and a data plan to go with it. Or you may be able to use a cellular phone in tethered mode. I have no experience with either method, so I'll leave the explaining to someone who knows about them. Or if you already have a cell phone and plan, consult your phone service provider.

TS3276 When sending, Mail always ask for my password....why?

Mail asks for my password when I send an e-mail. Sometimes it take a few minutes before asking. How do I resolve this issue?

Does the same occur when setting Mail to check for new mail every 5 or 15 minutes?
If there are a number of messages to download and/or a message or messages contain attachments and the download process is not completed and the communication with the server closed before the next automatic check for new mail, the prompt to manually enter the account's password will be provided instead of an error message indicating there was a problem communicating with the server or the account will be taken offline.
The same can occur if there is heavy network traffic at the incoming mail server for the account when the Mail.app checks for new mail.
I have the Mail.app set to check for new mail every 15 minutes and if I am prompted to manually enter an account's password, this indicates there is a temporary problem at the incoming mail server for the account.
I have provided feedback to Apple requesting the Mail.app provide a communication with the server error message instead of a request to manually enter the account's password.
Try changing it to every 5 minutes as a test.

Somehow my husbands apple id "jumped" to my phone. Now I'm always asked for his password and it's not even the ID he is using. How do I get my phone back?

Somehow my husbands Apple ID "jumped" to my phone, or at least I'm asked for his password (and not for the ID he uses). How do I get my phone back to my ID?

I believe that he must have at some point logged in to your phone and installed an app that he downloaded on his account and installed that app onto your phone. When your phone attempts to update that app, it will ask for his ID.
OR
He might have just decided to log you out of your account and log himself in.

It might help if you described when you're getting password (for his ID) prompts.

New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

IBooks Always Asking for AppleID Password

This isn't a huge deal, but rather an annoyance.....
Over the last month or two, I've noticed iBooks asks for my AppleID password when I launch the app on my iPad. I can't recall exactly when this first occurred, so I really can't pin it down to anything specific. I'm running the current iOS and syncing wirelessly to my iMac (though I don't know if either of those matter).
In the past, I only had to type in my AppleID password when I actually wanted to purchase or download an app or iBook, but now it seems to want this password when I launch iBooks and start reading a book...I'm not even at the store.
I can't see any settings that would affect this....
Any ideas?

This thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/23617781#23617781 ) suggests it's related to in-progress downloads from the iBooks store, but so far as I can tell, I don't have any of those and I still get prompted each time I launch.

How do I stop the system always asking for keychain password?

Each time I try to get my mail in Entourage, I'm asked for my 'keychain x' keychain password. How can I switch this off?
I have opened keychain access and manually unlocked the 'keychain x' keychain, and checked that it's not set to auto-lock afterwards, and yet this still keeps occurring.
I notice that under the 'login' keychain, only two of my mail accounts appear, when I have four. Could this be the problem? (Though it does seem to refer to 'keychain x' and not 'login' keychain). If so how do I add the others?
Thanks for your help!

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.

IPhone constantly asking for WiFi passwords when SSID is known

I recently got a new iPhone 6 and whenever I'm out somewhere in town I get random prompts "incorrect WiFi password" all the time. This didn't happen on my old 4S that was still running running iOS 7.
So I narrowed this problem down: This happens when some random WiFi network is nearby that just happens to have an SSID name that matches a different network that I previously connected to. Because a lot of people leave the default names like "AndroidAP", this soon becomes annoying as ****.
Now, the password prompt probably makes sense from a technical point of view. Probably it cannot tell WiFis with identical SSIDs apart, right?? But it's so persistent, it annoys the **** out of me. Obviously iOS 7 had a way of "failing silently" - the WiFi password at my work changes every week and yet I never got this message on my old phone. It just would not connect and let you re-enter the password by going into WiFi settings.
Anyone know how to get the old behavior back?

I had the same problem and what I did was to ask a friend to activate his AndroidAP network, let me log in with his password and after being connected I went to Wi-Fi Settings of that network ("AndroidAP") and choose "Forget this Network". It takes a bit of trouble for doing this (and someone able to create a network with the name "AndroidAP", but at least my movies won't be interrupted again when I'm travelling on the bus through the city. Please Apple, allow users to ignore SSIDs without needing to be logged in
