Always Asks for Apple ID on iOS when Making a Purchase on Mac.

So I got iCloud and one of its purpose is to wirelessly transfer your purchases instantenously. The only problem with that is that everytime I make a purchase on my Mac, as soon as I turn on my iPhone, it prompts me to enter my password everytime.. (It used to be fine).
What's the matter?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

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.

Music, iPhone asks for apple id and password when playing music.

My iPhone 5 keeps asking for my apple id and password when playing an album or any song purchased through iTunes Store. Not only does it ask for it for the first song, but every one after that. Any ideas?

Hello there, shadfly.
Is it, potentially, that you may have purchased the affected songs with another Apple ID? A great Knowledge Base article that always helps me out is:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Particularly what follows:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you are trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you will need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.

My iphone always asks for apple id password

I constantly get the message "enter apple id password" even when I enter over and over again. How do I get this message to stop popping up? It does it when I am texting, checking email, listening to music, etc... It is really annoying...

Having issue with GoFlex Seagate Driver Setting, Its always asking for the installation process whenever I am turning on my mac, any help will be appreciated.

Hi Team,
Unfortunatly, I plugged-in one of my friends external hard drive, and its asked me for the seagate driver instalation, after that every time when I am turning on my system, its asking for the goFlex software instalation process.
I tried out some process by googleing, I tried to remove the complete segate from my system, still it didn't help me.
Please help me with, to remove a complete segate package.
Thanks,
Jayaram.

Thanks Richard.
The 3 point did help me, now its not all asking for the each time instalation for the same driver.
Here one question comes to my mind, by deleting the content of the temp folder for the segate and removing all the releated files from the application, library->application support, library->extension, library->LaunchAgents, I deleted all the releated files of segate, could you please let me know if I need to delete from any more location to avoid the garbage files.
Thanks for your time and help

Erased hard drive now when installing osx is asking for apple id to reinstall osx but I purchased from someone else

I was trying to install Mavericks on the computer without backing up like an idiot. It said the hard drive was damaged and could not be repaired. Long story short I cleared the hard drive and now I don't have an operating system. I can reinstall lion from recovery mode, but I didn't buy it with my apple ID. Also I'm in Bavaria so there are no apple stores nearby. How can I get lion on my apple account. Also the last OS I had was 10.8.5 (Mt Lion)

It's a 2008 aluminum by the way

HT201442 hi there , i forget my apple id and password which is i use for my new iphone 4s , and i dont know what to do now ,, even i cant use the phone , always ask for apple id and password to get this phone activated

my new iphone serial number is DX3LGJH3FML6

I am amazed by the number of people who claim that they've forgotten their Apple ID, password, security questions, and rescue email address. I'm wondering what percentage of these people have stolen property. Regardless, you can get your Apple ID here: Settings>Store>tap on your AppleID.
FYI: you posted in the wrong forum.

IPad continuously asking for Apple iD

iPad continuously asks for apple iD password even when entered correctly

Try typing password really slow make sure there are a capital letter and a number somewhere in your password
If that doesn't work try changing your password to something easier.

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine. Please help!

When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges). I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here. It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT. How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password. I reset it, but it did not change the problem. Can someone help me?

It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

I was using a different itune id and now a new one but when i want to update the old app its always asking for my old app id.

There is no other way you can do now. Actually, you don't need to create a new Apple ID account, you can change the Apple ID from old email account to other email accout easily by all the steps below.
1, Open iTunes > iTunes Store > log in old Apple ID > Click on your apple ID on the right hand side on top > choose account > Apple ID > Edit
As long as you only change your Apple ID, then all the old apps are still under your new email account as well as you can keep downloading new apps.

imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.
