I found this on another thread. I disabled restrictions on my iPhone and it no longer asked for my password. I have not tried re-enabling restrictions though to see if the problem reoccurs.

Why is my password still required for app updates on my iPhone with iOS6?

I've updated my iPhone 4S and my new iPad both to iOS6. Now when I try to install updates no password is required on the iPad, but my iPhone still pops up the password request window.
I've tried restarting the iPhone after the install but that didn't change anything. Is there a setting or anything else that I need to change on the phone in order to no longer need to enter my password every time I update apps?

Password not required for system updates

Purchased new imac at apple store in March - let them perform the set-up. Was told by several individuals at retailer that system was secure out of the box, and that any changes to machine would require user name/password. After three months and many updates, system has only asked for password once, and that was when we installed ilife 11. We do have the imac set-up for automatic login, however, software update is not set-up to download updates automatically. Is this a defect in the machine, or was a setting changed inadvertently at set-up by the retailer. What should the default settings be to ensure that downloads (apple and other) require a password to download.
Please help.
Thanks

G'day,
The first user account that you create has Administrator access to the machine. In recent updates to Snow Leopard, an Administrator user does not need to re-enter their credentials in order to apply Apple System Updates.
However, for any other software installation requiring access to "system" folders, the username and password will need to be entered.
This is not a security issue at the current time, although some people (including myself) think that it is not good practice to use an Administrator account all of the time. If malicious software ever does get through your defences, it is better if it can only run as a Standard User!
A more secure configuration for your machine would be to create a second user account (a Standard User), and do all of your work in that.
If you run Software Update from that account, it will then require you to enter administrator credentials to run the update. In fact - all Application installations (even "drag and drop" and Apple Store) to your /Applications directory will also require the entry of credentials.
Cheers,
Rodney

TS4062 can't update apps cos my daughter's Apple ID password is required: even though I'm signed in via my Apple ID in settings (she uses my Mac for her itunes and didn't sign out, i synced my phone and it's been like this ever since) GRRRRR!

And there's no option of signing her out, it seems? GRRRRR!

Apple Id for App updates

Hello,
I have a question - my ex boyfriend set up my Iphone when I got it so he used his Apple Id (he has a macbook) but since then we broke up and I hav ecreated my own Apple Id but all of a sudden, my phone is asking me of his Apple Id to update my apps... I have been to my settings and changed the Id in the Itunes Store/App Store section but that didn't change the fact that I still need to input his Apple Id password to be able to update my apps.
Anyone had the same issue / knows how to resolve this?
Thank you!

The apps are attached to the Apple ID used to download them. There is nothing you can do to change that. You could always delete the apps and re-download them with your Apple ID.
Hope that helps

HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

OS X 10.10.1 installer says the requirement for the update does not meet

Greetings.
I noticed the auto update setting of my MacBook Air had been not working for a month or so today.
So I tried to manually update OS X 10.10.1 (released Nov 17, 2014) and got this message from the installer: "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
But the thing is, my mac already meet the requirement, as description of the update.
My mac is on OS X 10.10 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update states the system requirement as "OS X Yosemite 10.10"
How can I update my mac? What can be the source of this problem?
FYI, once I participated in Public Beta of Yosemite and clean-installed 10.10 from 10.9 with disk formatting.
Tried solution: rebooting, and repairing permission and repairing OS disk using Disk Utility.
Thank you in advance.

In About this Mac, click on the Version number. It will change to a build number. Please post that. Although it sounds like you don't have a beta still installed, it may be still hanging around which would cause the problem you see.
The GM Build was 14A389.
Never knew the version number could be clicked, and now it says 10.10 (14A379b).
I googled the build number and it's Public Beta 4. Now it is clear that my mac still have old beta version AND the OS X showed a message to me when I tried to download a copy of Yosemite from the App Store:
Maybe the OS thinks itself as a full release of 10.10 for some reason. It explains why it did not auto download and install the system updates, regardless of the auto update System Preference of App Store.
Now I am going to download and re-install 10.10 rather than updating the OS.
Thank you very much Barney-15E for providing the clear answer and others for reading and giving advices.
Have a nice day!

Cellular Data for iTunes Match but not for app updates

In iOS7 we can now have App updates downloaded automatically. Great. But if I want to use cellular data to stream songs from my iTunes Match library in iCloud when I'm on the road, but don't want to waste cellular data on App updates how can I do this? It appears that enabling cellular data for iTunes Match also requires using cellular data for any of the four auto download features as well in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Am I seeing this correctly and is there a way to fix this? I don't want to use cellular data for app updates, just for iTunes Match streaming. Any help would be great.

This looks like the same problem I've come across. From what I have been told, they are not separate, ie if you enable use cellular data to stream songs from iTunes Match you also have to download updated apps if you have it set to automatically download them.
I think this should definitely be separated.
The other thing you could do it go to another streaming music provider and then turn cellular downloads off. That's what I'm looking at doing.

Why is there no option to check for app updates in the latest version of ITunes?

I downloaded the latest version of ITunes but Apple took away the button to check for app updates. Why?

Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.

10.5.7 This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

First, 10.5.7 is not showing up in software update. I downloaded both the delta and combo 10.5.7 updates and they both give me "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I've done all the requisite stuff, permissions, volume check, reset PRAM, etc. I've downloaded the updates several times, and they worked on my 2008 iMac and 2007 Macbook Pro, so I know they work. I've searched and searched and can't find a resolution. It's as if there is some signature written to my boot volume that is preventing this update. Applecare was of no help either. Any ideas?

Hi! Im new to this forum and i really dont know if this is the right place for me to say this but i really need some help! I have a MAc OS x 10.5.7 and had bootcamp installed on it so i could run both windows and mac!

Ive never had problems with my Imac until now and im really worried! I could really do with the help! Thanks Sam

Im trying to install a new application on my mac but it keeps on coming up with 'The volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas how to solve this?

I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
thanks

That may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements. A common phenomena. If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App. That's one possibility for the error message appearing. If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview. You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
Hope this helps
