Annoying Password pop-up

OK, I upgraded to OS 4.0 now at 4.02. Ever since the upgrade to OS 4.0 I get a very annoying window that pops up frequently asking for my password. I have not set up any password to protect my phone so I hit cancel and the window goes away. Then, I select something to do and up pops the password window (PW) which I hit cancel and it goes away. There is no rhyme or reason for what I select gets me that PW. One minute, it's when I select Podcast and another time a few days later, if I select podcast i DONT get the PW. I'm going nuts with this stupid window. How can I stop the madness? Again, I have never set up any password protection setting in the IPHONE.....NEVER.

The popup should identify what particular password it is asking for. If it was the phone passcode, it would cover the entire screen but then if you cancelled, it wouldn't allow you into the phone. Is it possible it is for a mail account that you have set to check mail at certain intervals? Is it to the iTunes store by chance? Check the box and see what it identifies itself as and let us know to be able to help you a little more.

  • How to stop voice mail password pop up on iphone 5

    How do you stop the voice mail password pop up on the i phone 5?

    Call your carrier & have them reset your voicemail. Then set such up with a password. Voicemail is a carrier feature, not a phone feature & most carriers require a password for such.

  • HT204053 We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, because I am using it too from now on, but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his, how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gift

    We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

    In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
    Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

  • Canceling Master Password pop-up gives access to protected sites?!

    When I press "cancel" in the Master Password pop-up Firefox still fills the username and password of the site. How to prevent this? Win 7, FF 22.0

  • I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

    I reset a Linksys extender, when I try to navigate Safari using The Linksys network, a Box askin for username And password pops out. What is this about?

    Ask Linksys. If you reset the extender it presumably lost the username and password it was supposed to service.  I'd just supply the name and password and move on.

  • Annoying PPPoE pop-up message using Airport

    Even though my airport wireless works great, when browsing or checking email I keep getting a pop-up that says, "Can't find a PPPoE Server". This doesn't affect the operation of anything I am doing and when I close the box everything continues to work fine. How do I keep this annoying pop-up from occurring?
    On the left side of the opening screen of Airport Utility, I have "Airport" (selected), "Firewire" (not connected), and "Ethernet" (not connected). When I go to Airport Utility (Advanced Setting), I get to a screen that says, "Connect Using" with the only choices being Ethernet or PPPoE. I choose Ethernet (even though I don't have Ethernet, trying to get rid of the PPPoE pop-up). Below that item it says "Configure Using" and I select "DHCP" (the other choice is "Manually"). Any ideas about shutting off the annoying PPPoE pop-up? Thanks.

    I have a Network extreme and 2 network express bases currently (my house is small but loaded wth chimneys lead pipes and water tanks which hamper basic routers). I am getting the same pop up but during the process of my Mac attempting to access the PPoE server there is no internet connection. (it took me 5 minutes to move from a previous page to this page thanks to this recurring process).
    Previous to this set up I was using the standard BT infinty router which used to lose the connection frequently. I've even tried connecting the nearest Network Express to the Mac with an ethernet cable but to no avail. I still get frequent 3-5 minute breaks in connection mostly on start up or if the Mac wakes from sleep.
    Where is the setting to switch to DHCP only?
    Its really beginning to bug me. 2 iPhones and 1 iPad have no probelm connecting to the Network.

  • Cannot access the iCloud mail for some reason I don´t know. Worked perfect until Nov 28th, but a message with "incorrect ID/password" popped up. Contacts and iCal is accessible. Have tried from iPad, Mac, iPhone and PC. Any recommendations?

    Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

  • ICloud password pop ups, asking for my gmail

    For the past few weeks I have been getting iCloud password pop ups when I power up my Mac Pro, asking for my password for my gmail account. I enter the correct password 3-4 times before it goes away. I have the same problem on another user login?

    Contact your carrier and have them re-set your voice mail password. Once they do, you should only have to enter it once. Then you won't be prompted again.

  • My password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for logging in to a website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted.

    I accidentally typed my email AND password in the email box when logging on to a website. Now my password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for this website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted. I have cleared the cache, deleted cookies, cleared history, shut down and restarted the computer. How do I keep this from automatically appearing please?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

    Might try calling Apple to see if you can either get replacement originals, or Retail Tiger Disk, might have to talk to a product specialist & explain the no Disks deal.
    You can check eBay, just be ertain the disks work for your particular model, many/most are machine specific.

  • Keychain password pop ups affecting functionality

    I keep getting keychain password pop up requests. Tried to change password etc through utilities but computer won't let me, just get spinning color wheel. Any suggestions??

    If the request is for a Mail account password, which is the most common problem of this type, that is most likely a problem on your email provider's POP or IMAP server and the only cure on your end is patience until they recognize the situation and get it fixed. If it for other passwords try launching Keychain Access in the /Aplications/Utilities folder, select your keychain the on the Keychain Access menu bar select Keychain Access > Key Repair and see if that helps.

  • Annoying password box pops up constantly

    Since I downloaded Mountain Lion, I am constantly asked for access to my login password.  It is annoying.  What's up with this?

    You may have an app that is trying to update or download that needs the password to continue... once you enter it it will time out so you don't have to worry about putting it in.
    Enter it and it should store it for 15 minute only and after that time you'd need to enter it again to buy something.
    Updates do not require password anymore but purchases do
