App Store asks for password for every download
Sometimes I download a few apps at a time but every time I am asked to type in my iCloud password. Why?
I have not exited the App Store app on my iPhone, I'm still in the same session, I've just looked around for just a couple of minutes more before I select the download button for another app... only to get the iCloud password window. Again.
Surely doing it once should be enough. Surely not having to do it at all because it's MY iPhone should be ideal.
Is there a way to control this?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for the heads up.
Sometimes, though, I've downloaded a couple of apps within quick succession but I have still been required to type in my iCloud password...

App store asks for login to the wrong account
My previously employer had initially purchased this software (FCPX) on this Mac. When I left the company I was allowed to purchase the Mac from them. I no longer have access to the Apple ID that was used to purchase this software on this Mac so I deleted it (FCPX) from my Mac and repurchased it from my AppleID however, when I try to update FCPX the App Store demands the password for my old AppleID. How do I get the software that I purchased to update?
I have this same problem! All the iOS apps on 2 iPads and 2 iPhones have to be deleted and reinstalled again when clearly the iTunes Store must know that those apps were originally acquired under the previous Apple ID. Why is the "ownership" of the apps not heritable??? I've been into the "Featured" tab in the App Store to look to sign out of the old ID but it shows the correct current ID. There are currently 47 apps needing an update, all of which won't download because they were purchased or acquired with the old ID. When I changed ISP's back in August of this year I was told my Apple Support that the original Apple ID tied to my previous ISP had to be deleted, without ever mentioning that this would involve this aggravating process of having to delete old apps and try to replace them by making a list of those that won't download under the new ID and reinstalling them all over again. Several apps were "paid" apps and I don't see why I should have to pay for them again! Oftentimes I just give up rather than have to go through this frustrating & arduous process of delete-sign out of ID-sign back in-try to download again when Apple could simply mark your new ID as having replaced the old ID.

Mac app store asks login every launch
One purchased app from the mac app store, makes the mac app store ask me to login every time the app launches.
The app we are talking about is "Dropzone", which by the way I recommend strongly, almost every time I login to my mac, the app
store asks me to login for this app. I need this app to launch every time I login. I tried deleting it, deleting its data from the Library->
Application Support, but still prompts me to provide my app store password. Is there any idea ?Hi ..
Check your download speeds here > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
If your download speed is less than 10Mbps, the file may be timing out before it can finish downloading.
Make sure your Mac has sufficient storage space. Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac > More Info > Storage. Make sure there's at least 15% free disk space.
Apps such as Little Snitch, Growl, MacKeeper, and anti virus software can prevent apps from downloading
Disable anti virus software if installed
Check the firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons... -
My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps.

How come I'm not asked for password for every app purchase, app auto downloads once I tap install, not good when my kids start buying apps because they are not asked for password, help!!
Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..
Thanks again for prompt reply!!! -
cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
ı try to re-download my purchased apps app store asked for money from me again
I try to re-download my purchased apps from app store. app store asked for money from me again
you can go to expresslane.apple.com and select itunes>store>purchices, billing and redemption> select apple id account billing. it will ask you to tell more about the issue, type there what u typed here, if you can include song names you have tried, select your counrty and click continue, itll give you a few options, select email to contact itunes store department directly; the more info you can give them the faster itll be, like the media titles (or if available the order numbers in the recipt u get in ur email) if you choose call in option they should be able to contact itunes for you but its really just a middle man between you and itunes (no phone number for them) and they wont always contact them for you if you havent tried expresslane.apple.com yet; good luck!

GarageBand already downloaded, Mac App Store asking me to pay for it again!
I have a 2008 model of the iMac. It started out on Snow Leopard and came with an iLife '09 disc which had GarageBand. It is now running OS X Yosemite and I have updated all of my iLife apps except for GarageBand. I wanted to update it from the Mac App Store, but the App Store asked me to pay for GarageBand again! Is this supposed to happen? Is there any way around this?

No, there is no way around that, sorry.
To upgrade from your iLIfe '09 version of GarageBand to GarageBand 10.0 is a major upgrade - you can recognize a paid upgrade by the version number. If the first digits are different, it is a paid upgrade; only if only the digits behind the first decimal point change, it is a free update.
If you upgrade, don't uninstall your current version. You may want to use your GarageBand '09 loops and instruments with the new version. It has a very different set of instrument and loops. -
Iphone app store asks for old apple id when i try to update apps
I recently reset my apple id. However when I try to update apps in my iphone it asks for my old apple id info. When I enter this in it states that the info is incorrect and needs to be reset. However when I download new apps the app store asks for my recently updated apple id info. When I have tried to delete the apps that need to be updated and buy them again, I was charged for the app. As a result I cannot update any apps. How can I fix this?
You changed it wrong. You should have done it this way:

Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
Aperture purchased from the App Store asking for Serial Number?
Has anyone seen this? I just updated the app and now I can't get in.
I don't understand.First thing to try is delete the app. Open the Mac App Store and the status in the Purchases section should update to "Install". Click to download the full app rather than an update.

I updated my mac 10.8 to mavericks but after installation the app store ask for the same software update again..i have a slow connection..i cannot install it again and again..what should i do?
In case you are not aware, Mavericks requires a high speed broadband connection.
In the event you need to restore or repair the starutp disk, OS X Recovery also requires a broadband connection as noted here > About OS X Recovery
You can check your download speed here > Speedtest.net
15Mbps or less, you may not be able to install Mavericks or use OS X Recovery. -
