Can I disable the password requirement to download applications from the app store?

Recently, my Apple ID has become "locked" roughly twice a month for the last two months and it's been driving me insane. To try to remedy this issue, I finally changed my password -- after struggling to come up with a password that was "strong" I ended up with one that's more than 20 characters long and incredibly convoluted.
This brings me to this question: is there a way to disable the App Store requiring a password to download apps? It was already a nuisance, but it's going to be wholly worse now that my password is Biblical in length.
If there is an answer to either of these issues, that would be awesome! (Why does my Apple ID keep locking up twice a month when I type my password immaculately? Can I stop needing my password? I'm the only one using my iPhone).
Thank you so much!

Awesome. :|
Thank you!

HT1904 I can download applications from my app store why?

I just bought a new iPhone I can download any application from the App Store why??

- Go to settings>iTunes & App store
- tap on your Apple ID
- tap sign out
- sign back into Apple ID
It should sign you into the Greek Store automatically but if it doesn;t then do this:
- tap you apple id
- tap view apple id
- select country/region
- if it is already selected on the Greek Store then select another country then select back onto Greece
- tap done to the top right

Halfway through the OS X Yosemite update it says I am not connected to the internet (when I know I am because I can search through the app store). How can I fix this? I cannot get on Safari because it requires an update to Mac OS X 10.9 or later.

Just to be clear. You have downloaded the Yosemite installer. However you say while it's updating you get the error you are not online. This is confusing since you shouldn't be able to use your computer in the process of updating.
Exactly where do you see you need to 10.9 to get on Safari?

I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.

As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

Even though I can connect to the app store, apps rarely will download.

Even though the iPad can connect to the app store, apps and updates do not download (except occasionally).
The error message is "Cannot connect to the iTunes store." Obviously there is something wrong with that error message, since the iPad actually connects to the store in order to attempt installing an app or update.
I have tried changing networks, changing locations, rebooting the iPad, turning WiFi off and back on and downloading updates instead of new apps, but the fact is that apps and updates will rarely download. I have gone through every troubleshooting item in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368, http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1424, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398, although I found that almost all of it does not refer to my problem. I also tried everyting in an advanced iTunes troubleshooting document I can no longer find. The fact that it works some of the time seems to eliminate most of the troubleshooting steps, which assume the problem is not intermittent.
This started several weeks ago. Before that, I had no problems dowloading and installing apps. The problem started abruptly. At first apps would download maybe 75-80% of the time, but lately, it has gotten rediculous. The successful download is highly intermittent. Apps and updates will download maybe one in 20 attempts or so.
This is an iPad 2 running iOS 5.01.
If anyone can give me some ideas how to proceed here, I'd really appreciate it!

I Can sign to the app store normally but i cannot make download from it on my iPhone 4s

Hello
I Can sign to the app store normally but i cannot make any download from it on my iPhone 4s
Any body can help … please

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
It will not go to the Mac App Store
I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

HT1918 When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information

When trying to download the free applications from itunes app store its asking about billing information.
Billing popup will display and navigating to billing detail page.

Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item (free or paid-for) from the store.
If you are being prompted to review the account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054
If not then you will need to enter credit card details - you should be able to remove the card after entering it

Re: Trouble connecting to apps and iTune store.
Jan 30, 2013 10:29 PM (in response to DonWhite)
Like so many others, after updating to OS6 and changing my iCloud password, none of my devices (iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iMac etc) could connect to the tunes store, the error message was something "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again." However, there was nothing wrong with my internet connection - programs like Safari & Mail worked just fine.
After trawling through the discussions and trying the recommendations (change time/date, activate location services, reset network settings etc) I just became more frustrated.
I figured that if iTunes thought my network connection was the problem, maybe I should try tricking it and, after much trial, error and frustration, I did find a solution - and it may work for you...
I turned off WiFi on my iPhone, then connected to my telco's 3G network, then connected to the iTunes store and it worked fine. Then I switched back to WiFi and all is good. Did the same for the iPad. For the MacBook and iMac I turned off WiFi then tethered the iPhone on the 3G network to the computer, then connected to iTunes Store, then went back to WiFi. For some reason that I don't understand, this all went as planned and now everything works.
Anyway, I thought I should contribute to the community by letting you know the solution I found. Of course, this may not necessarily work for you, but it's worth a shot.

Hi there , I'm downloading game from Mac App store ( The Witcher 2) and it's stuck on waiting almost at the end of the download pls help? I don't want to download it again is there any solution for this?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

Can I disable the password requirement to download applications from the app store?
