Connecting to my wi fi requires a password each time I connect

This problem started after my 9 year old was using my macbook. I now never re-connect to my home wi fi from my macbook -- it always appears that the connection is lost and I have to reconnect and provide my password each time I use my macbook --- any ideas what is amiss here? Very frustrating.

Why does Lightroom Require Admin password each time I open it?

Hi,
Just joined the community and downloaded Photoshop as Admin.
I then enter my non-admin user (same PC).
Photoshop works fine - I open it no problem.
Ligghtroom, which I had downloaded a trial version a copule of weeks ago, required me to always enter the Admin pw every time - annoying.
Does anyone know how to stop this happening?
Many thanks, Dave

Dave if you create a new Standard account do you face the same password request? Is your computer remotely managed?
I don't believe reinstall Photoshop Lightroom will change the behavior. If you do wish to reinstall though then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html if you face any difficulties with reinstalling Photoshop Lightroom through the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

HT204306 starbucks app requires username/password every time. How can I tell my phone to remember my u/p?

Starbucks app requires username / password every time it is invoked.
Is there some way to tell the app to remember me?

Meg,
passcode was where you suggested.
But it says that passcode is to be invoked each time you invoke the starbucks app.
I do not wish to create another step. I wish to remove one (or two).
But thank you for calling that to my attention. I did not know it was there.

How do I set mail to require password each time?

I can't get my mail account to ask for password on each access. How do I change that to ask for password each. time I access email?

- Use webmail
- What sort of works for the Mail app is to go to Setting>Mail and turn the mail accounts off. Then go to Settings>General>Restrictions and turn on the Restriction and prevents changing accounts. To access mail you have to turn off the restriction and then turn the Mail account back on.

What's with having to change passwords each time one error is made entering it?

So I entered what I believe was the correct itunes store account password and it says invalid. I try again and it suddenly locks me out, now I have to create an entirely new password (one that has not been used in over a YEAR) and a bunch of other restrictions on how many characters, what types of characters are allowed, where the characters can be placed (oh no, you can't have three characters the same together, no matter how long your password is.)
I understand the risks out there, and I understand Apple is doing what they consider is best for the customer. But Appple, you really dropped the ball on this one. There are many disappointed and frustrated customers, including newbies, who chose Apple with the understanding it was more friendly than the "Other" platforms out there. ****, my government security isn't even this stringent!! Lossen up Apple, you're not doing your customers any good furiating them with complex passwords. Next you'll be expecting the general public to come up with their own password Algorithums!
This goes against the principal of Apple's reputation of making computers friendly for ALL users.
Listen, we know the risks. You make us agree to those internet inherant risks before we can use any of your products. We need Apple to ease up the the stringent security measures a bit and find other non-invasive ways to protect its customers.
I was so frustrated, I might even go back to the "Other" camp.

"Here's the problem: if I leave the network or power down (macbook pro), I'm told that my machine can't find the proper network once I boot back up. I have to manually enter the name of the network and enter the password each time in order to get access——then I'm back online again"
On your MacBook Pro, you might check a few things:
Open System Preferences and click on Network
Click on your AirPort connection on the left to highlight it and then click on the Advanced tab at the lower right of the pane.
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "remember any network this computer has joined"
Also check to make sure that your network shows up in the Preferred Networks list and that it is listed at the top of any other networks you make have shown.
You would also want to make sure there were NOT check marks next to:
"Disconnect from any wireless networks when logging out" and
"Require Administrator password to control AirPort"

Problem with having to enter password each time to gain access to network.

Hi there. I have just setup an airport express——connected to our dsl modem——as our only wireless network in a small flat. We just have two computers connecting wirelessly: my macbook pro (10.5.7) and my wife's powerbook (10.4.11). A very simple setup.
A few changes I made, using airport utility: I changed the MAC Address Access Control to timed so that both of our computers are on the approved MAC address list with "everyday, all day" access.
I also made it a closed network. And I changed the WPA Group Key timeout to under 12 minutes.
Other than than I left the settings as-is.
I was able to get both of our notebooks connected properly and everything seemed dandy as we were both online.
Here's the problem: if I leave the network or power down (macbook pro), I'm told that my machine can't find the proper network once I boot back up. I have to manually enter the name of the network and enter the password each time in order to get access——then I'm back online again. My wife's powerbook, however, doesn't have this same problem. And I've saved the network's password to both our keychains, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
Any thoughts? I'd love to be able to simply power up and be connected like a normal human being.

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

That would depend on the application you're using to access Sirius, I would presume. What application do you use?
If you're using just a web browser, I don't have a subscription to confirm but it does look like it would require the user name and password whenever you reconnect. Sirius support or a Sirius-releated forum might be able to provide additional information.
Regards.

How do i enable my Itunes account? When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disable." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They didn't help

When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disabled." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They said they would try to fix it and they never contacted me after that. I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.

What did itunes support tell you?
If you did everything it says then you contacted them.
From the article you linked:
If the issue persists, you can visit iCloud Support, iTunes Support, Apple Print Products, or contact AppleCare for further assistance."

I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

HOW TO STOP THE PROMPTING MESSAGE OF MASTER PASSWORD EACH TIME I OPEN MOZILLA FIREFOX?

Firefox will ask for the Master Password on startup if it is needed on a page.<br />
This can be Sync or a web page that is (re)opened automatically and you have saved a name & password for this website.
You didn't confirm whether you are using Sync or not, so I don't know which of the two would apply.

Must I enter password each time I update an app

Must I enter my password each time I update an app

Yes. That is how they know you are the one that bought the app in the first place. Pretty basic security for you and them. The good news is that once you enter it, it will remember for 15 min, so you can update others, or get new apps without needed to re input.

TS3988 why do i have to enter my apple id password each time i use my phone

I recently backed up my phone to icloud while it was NOT plugged into anything, now I have to enter my appleID password each time I try to send a message! What happened?

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

I dont want to enter password each time i log on

I do not want to enter password each time I log on to my computer

Hunter1744, welcome to the forum.
If you are using Win7, you can go into Start. In the "Search programs and files" box at the bottom type "cmd" and hit Enter. This will open a terminal window. Type "netplwiz' next to the prompt and hit Enter. This will bring up a box titled User Accounts. Uncheck the box next to "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." It will ask for a Password and to verify the Password. Once you do this, you should not have to logon with a Password in the future.

Why am I asked for my password each time I open iBook? Started a week or two ago. 4th gen iPad with iOS 6.1.3. And iBooks 3.1.

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, try this - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
 Cheers, Tom
