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?

    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.

  • 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sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date.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.

  • IPod Touch continually asking for iTunes password

    Since syncing my iPod Touch 2g to my new MacBook Pro, it's always asking me for the iTunes password. First time I synced it noted I previously synced to another Mac and asked if I wanted to merge or replace; I hit merge, probably not the right thing to do. How can I set things so it doesn't keep asking for the password?

    Make sure you authorize your new computer (in iTunes) and then sync your touch.

    Windows 8. I've bought one movie, but on the second try, the Code redemption keeps asking for my password.
    Thanks for your advice.

    Me too.
    It is asking me for my iTunes password too often.
    I would be okay with it _if it was just for when I hit UPDATE for an application, or buy a new one_... but it seems like it's constantly asking for my iTunes password.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Iphone asking for itunes password constantly

    A month ago something changed and I now get frequent reminders asking for my itunes password - probably about 20-30 times a day. The requests always come in sets of two in a row. How do i turn off this very annoyed undocumented feature?

    No guarantees here, but launch itunes, make sure you're signed in and the account name & password match what's on your phone. Connect your phone & sync. This may fix the problem as your account info is passed by itunes when you sync.
