Can I choose to require a password for ANY App purchase?

The options seem to be all or nothing. Either I can enable or disable apps. I also noticed the "disable in game purchases". This blocks some, but it does NOT block the purchases where there is a link in a children's game for example. That still results in it opening up the App Store. Then I can purchase and install. I just want it to ask for a password every time I go to buy an app. Is this possible?? It seems to ask for a password sometimes, but not always.

This is a problem that has been highlighted by a leading consumer programme in the UK. Even if the App Store is set to ask for a password on purchasing, if the time is quite short (don't know exactly how many minutes) between purchases then there is no password prompt.
This has led to many users facing large bills because their children have bought a lot of in-game credits thinking they were just some sort of free part of the game.
I believe this is being looked into.

How do I require a password between every app purchase on my iPad?

How do I require a password between every app purchase? I'm trying to avoid having my son make purchases without my consent.

See if you have something in your settings that shows Profile. Settings>General>Profiles.
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles. For additional information, contact the administrator or the person who installed the profile.

Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )

Thanks again for prompt reply!!!

Website default folder requires system password for any change

So i turned on my OSX Server's websites section and seems to work fine. The next step of course would be to drop in a folder of one
of my old projects, but the server requires my password on ever new folder I create or copy to the directory.
How do I stop this so I can add folders and create new files in my webserver directory without being botherd to enter a password every time?

I right clicked on the sites default folder and then under shareing and permissions I clicked the + button and added my user and set the permissions to Read and Write.

IPad did not require password for in app purchase after two days

I just made an in-app purchase on my iPad and was not prompted to enter my account password. I checked my settings and it was set to require a password after 15 minutes. The last time I entered my password to make a (free) purchase was two days ago! I've now disabled in app purchases as a precaution.
Is this a bug in iOS 8? It asked for a password every 15 minutes in iOS 7.

Even after disabling in app purchases (General > Restrictions) and setting the password requirement to 'immediately', I tried another in app purchase (for a smaller amount) and again it went straight through without asking for a password.

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's Imac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works!

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works! I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one. I tried his security questions to no avail.
Thanks

Since that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

HT204266 Can't write review for any apps. It keeps repeating to ask you for password, and it never goes through.

Recent, I have a few apps having problems. I just want to write it on the apps review. I go to the reviews of the apps, and click write a review. First it will pop-up a box with my Apple ID already on the box where I just need to enter password. After I entered password, it will pop up another message box to request me password. This time it also says, "AOL members can sign in using their AOL username and password." Then I click the "Sign In" button on the bottom to enter password again. Then it will just pop up the "AOL" message box again, and I just repeating the same procedure. I tried to input different password. It will reply the password is incorrect immedicately. Thus, I can't write review for any apps now.
I wonder this may happend since the last update of the IOS, and then I have a few apps encoutered problems.

Your profile indicates your Mac as v10.8.1 installed.
If that is correct, updating your system software may help the review issue.
Either click Software Update from your Apple menu 
Or open System Preferences > Software Update and click Check Now.

How to require password for each iTunes purchase

I'd like to setup my son's iPod Touch so that all purchases from iTunes require a password to be entered at each purchase. Currently, when the first purchase is made a password is required. However, subsequent purchases do not require the password. Is it possible to require the password each time a purchase is made from iTunes?

The only ways I know of is to take the iPod away from him for 15 minutes, or sign-out of your account after completing his purchase.
From page 133 of the User Guide, "For additional purchases made within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again."
To sign-out, go to Settings > Store > Sign-Out.

HT201304 If you set restrictions to on for your ipad or iphone & you set the password restriction to immediately for in-app purchases will it ask you for your password every time you make a purchase over a certain time period or just the first time you us

I am setting restrictions on my iphone and my ipad for my four year old son as he somehow purchased an app for $99 unbeknowst to me.
Does anyone know if you set your restrictions to ON, there is a setting that is called "Require Password" and there are two choices to choose from
"immediately" or "15 minutes". What I want to know is if my son asks me to purchase an app that costs $1 and I let him purchase it. Be entering my passcode
will it not ask him for any future purchases or an in-app purchase where they tend to rip you off. I want to ensure that it asks for a password every single time anything is purchased whether it is an in-app purchase or an app. I am unsure what the difference is between choosing immediately or 15 minutes on this specific Restrictions setting. Thank you.

Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>In-App Purchases>Off. Then: Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>Require Password...set this to "Immediately".
Doing the above will accomplish what you want.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program

Hi friends,
Is it possible to reset password for any user using abap program by specifying client number and user id. in selection screen.
if any code for that to reset password please mail me.
Thanks & Regards,
Yogesh

Hello Yogesh,
Yes you can reset the password for any body using ABAP Code. But for that you really don't need any client number.
If this process is on regular basis, then recommended is to use BAPI for changing the user details Otherwise BDC also works fine.
=> Function Module - BAPI_USER_CHANGE
Call this in the program for resetting the password.
=> CALL TRANSACTION 'SU01' USING InternalTable
This will be executed in the BDC of SU01 transaction recording. Use the Password Change button in the application toolbar of transaction while recording.
Hope this helps.
PS If the answer solves your query, plz close the thread by marking it solved and rewarding each reply.
