When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.
Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

Installing .air file on osx Mavericks keeps asking for installation package
After upgrading to OSX Mavericks and Upgrading to Adobe CC I'm having trouble installing .air files.
I'm working on OSX Mavericks 10.9.1
I have built an Air application with the Air4.0 SDK in Flashbuilder 4.7 and packaged a release build as a signed Air Package.
When I try to install it by double clicking the .air file , the Air Application Manager Starts but asks for an Installation package instead of using the package I just doubleclicked.
Any ideas how to solve this?
kind regards
PatrickHi
I never had Air 3.8 installed on my machine (after a clean install of osx mavericks). Only 3.9 4.0beta and now 4.0 release.
Even now that I reinstalled 4.0.0.1390 I'm not able te uninstall. It still give an "already installed message)
The Package insttaltion problem occurs with any .air file, so for instance even the air SettingsManager.air from the adobe site.
It's probably some hickup with my machine, but I don't know where to look anymore.
I'm not sure what you mean by the app.air file.
I have sent a a simple .air file to your mail address.
Oddly enough when I double click any .air file (and the "select installation package" window appears) and then doubelclick the .air file again from the finder,
the air installation window does appear behind!! the "select installation package" window ( but I can't click it ).
So it seems that, when first opened, the Adobe AIR Application Installer doesn't receive the file path of the .air file that was clicked.
Best Regards

I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!
Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID. -
Help! When I went to restore back up for my Iphone after downloading software update, it asked for password which I did not know. Apparently the box for encrypt had been checked but I do not recall anywhere indicating I needed to choose password. I was sent back to page with 2 options - set up new phone OR restore from back up WHICH I CANNOT DO WOTHOUT PASSWORD. wHAT DO i DO?
Connect it to your computer via the supplied sync cable and restore.

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
My iPad won't let me sign into my Apple ID when I try and download an app it asks for my id and password and when i type it in the iPad displays a message saying cannot connect to iTunes Store. However when i do this on my phone it works perfectly. Even when i sign in and out.
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how can I fix this?Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections. -
Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password. Had to go to Outlook (ugh!) in order to work (this suck!). Please help!
Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account. Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password. Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend. Why?
Thanks.Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

How come I'm not asked for password for every app purchase, app auto downloads once I tap install, not good when my kids start buying apps because they are not asked for password, help!!
Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..
Thanks again for prompt reply!!! -

It sounds like you’ve forgot the passcode for your iPhone and you want to know how to restore it. The article linked below will walk you through the process of restoring your iPhone from recovery mode using iTunes.

Which Mac are your trying to upgrade? It needs to be:

MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
