App Store-password request redundancy

Anyone have an issue with the App Store in that it requests you enter my password each time you access the store?  This happens each time, irregardless if you are making a purchase or not.  In some cases it will ask it will request 2 or 3 times...  This occurrence is new to me and its done this for the last 2-3 weeks?? Not sure if I have a security issue or if something's changes and I missed the notice....Any insight regarding this would be great appreciated, Thanks

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

  • HT4928 How do I hide Mac App Store update requests?

    I downloaded a free app in the Mac App Store many months ago, after I got bored of it I deleted de App but now the Mac App Store is requesting me to update the mentioned app which I don't want anymore. How can I make it stop requesting me the update?

    Not in my case, somehow this app doesn't appear in my Purchased panel, just in my Updates panel.
    Here are the screens:
    This the Purchased Panel
    And this is the Updates Panel
    Hope I can get a solution now. And thanks anyway for all the previews replies.

  • Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password

    Hi
      My Iphone 5 screen Flickers some time while entering app store password, not sure if it is BUG of Iphone 5 or I OS6 . Do I need to exchange my device?

    It happened to me as well. Once in App Store and once in Flight+ app. It happens where the keys QWERTY is on the keypad. I assume it is a software bug in the OS. However, I don't eliminate the possibility of a hardware issue with my device since I dropped it on a hard carpet floor from waist height. No appearance damage but not sure about any internal damages. I will update this thread when I get more updates

    1) Go to My Apple ID and click Reset your password.
    2) On the next page, enter your Apple ID Name and click Next.
    3) Authenticate by email or by answering the security question.
    4) By following the emailed link or answering the security question, you'll be presented the option to reset your Apple ID password.

  • HT201658 App Store Password

    My App Store password is different from my Apple ID password.
    I hove found how to re-set my Apple ID password (which I don't need to do as I know it), but I cannot find how I retrieve my App Store password.
    How do I do this?

    OK, to find the iTunes/App Store Apple ID, go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to see if you can retrieve it. You would then change the password the same way you change your primary Apple ID password.
    Unfortunately, there is no way to merge the two Apple IDs. I do have some options for you, however:
    1.     You can change the password on the iTunes/App Store ID to be the same as the one on your Primary ID, so it won't matter which one is asking for a password
    2.     You can start doing all new purchases from the iTunes, App Store, iBooks Store, etc. using your primary ID and stop using your old one altogether. The only time you will need that old ID would be to use the password for it to update apps purchased under that ID, or to Authorize a new computer (you would need to authorize it to both IDs)
    3.     You can also simply delete and re-purchase (or re-download, if free) any apps, music, etc. you purchased with the old ID, and just abandon it altogether
    Best of luck!

  • How can I retrieve my App Store password

    I used a different ID to purchase from App Store, now I can't remember the password for my Apple ID. The problem is, I can't update any apps purchased with that ID. Require immediate help to recover my forgotten password.

  • App Store - Your request is temporarily unable to be processed

    Hey,
    when trying to install two apps I got to the point where APP store says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." The previous message before that is to accept the new terms and conditions. I say yes and then this is what happens. Tried logging out and in - not working.
    Any tips?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List

  • App Store - your request could not be completed

    Hi,
    I have an issue with the message in subject appearing evey time I try to browse the App Store.
    Any idea how to solve?
    Thanks,
    Massimiliano

    I have the exact same problem on my iPhone 4S (in Israel..)
    I am trying to download the apple trailers app with no success.
    When I search the App Store for 'apple trailers' it's retrieves no results, and when I try the link in the Apple trailers website it fails and gives me the same message (your request could not be completed)
    Why is that?

  • Possible to save app store password ?

    I'm starting to collect a few Apps from the App Store. As it is now I have to manually enter my Apple ID password everytime I download a new app.
    Is it possible to have the password automatically saved/applied ? Not a major issue but the password complexity makes it difficult to key in again & again.

    You will find that if you download more than one app or whatever, one right after another, you will not have to re-enter the password. That only lasts for about a minute or so between downloads, but it's helpful. You also need to be careful about hitting that "Buy" button right after you just bought something, because it will be bought and downloaded without any further confirmation.

  • Save Mac App Store password?

    I am the primary tech for a school with roughly 200 Mac computers. I'd like to update as many as possible to Mavericks so I created an image with all of the free apps that are commonly used by the students/teachers (downloaded most from the app store). I'd like to allow those apps to update without my intervention but I absolutely can not give out the password for the school's Apple account (which has a credit card linked). Is there any way to save the password for downloading and updating free apps without allowing purchases? Any help will be appreciated.

    Launching App Store does NOT ask for my password.  Browsing, even my installed apps, and checking for updates does NOT ask for my password.
    Only buying something wants my password.
    You can always change your Apple ID password to something a little more memorable.  If you want to keep it secure, make part of it unique but easy to remember, and then add some repetitive padding that extends its length.  Password length is what makes a brute force attack difficult to crack.

  • ITunes Store and App Store password suddenly 'incorrect' ?

    Hi all,
    I switched my TV onto the Apple TV tonight to watch a TV episode and found that my Mac Mini server wasn't showing up.  iTunes is running but when I turned off Home Sharing and turned it back on, my Apple ID password wasn't accepted.  The password didn't work in the Mac App Store either.
    At that point, the same password worked fine on the Apple Support Communities.
    I reset my password and logged back into the Apple Support Communities - all worked OK (old password didn't work, so it's definitely changed).
    Still iTunes and the Mac App Store won't accept my password.
    What's going on?  Anyone else having this problem?

    Forgot to mention - iCloud login in System Preferences works fine with the new password, further confirmatin that the password has definitely been changed.
