Every time I update my apps I am asked to authorize my computer
Why am I asked to authorize my computer every time I try to update my apps on my desktop
Greetings samuelfrommilton,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that iTunes is repeatedly prompting you to authorize your computer when you update your applications. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the information in the attached article.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

ITunes ask for my password every time I update an app
Device: iPad2 with iOS 7.0.3
Starting just this week, every time I click on "update" to update an app, it prompts me for my iTunes password. This happens even if I click on one update after the other, it prompts me to enter my password every time. Last week, I was able to update apps and it didn't prompt me for my iTunes password each time.
Any ideas what may of happened?
Thank you in advanced.This worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' ? If you do then you will need to enter your password for every app update as well as for every new purchase. -
Since update to iOS 7, every time I open an app a pop up message telling me to connect to iTunes to use push notifications comes up. EVERY TIME! How do I make it stop???
Do you use iTunes with your iPad and if so, have you tried syncing your iPad with iTunes since you updated the iOS?

I am not able to update my apps because every time I am doing this, it is asking for a password which I have never used and the person who used it is in no more contact. how can i get my id instead of his??
Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

My Ipod touch plays music but every time I open an app that I have downloaded it closes immediately. This started happening after updating to the latest version of Ipod software.
Here's a couple things to try:
1. Reset the iPod by holding the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
2. Uninstall and reinstall one of your purchased apps. Sometimes this can rectify the issue.
3. Connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it. New system software usually resolves the issue. Make sure you sync before restoring because a restore removes the data from your iPod.
Hope one of these works for you! -

Renew subscription EVERY time I launch an app??
Hey guys, I was asked by the AdobeCare Twitter Account to post my issue in this forum, so here I am:
I recently subscribed to a Adobe CC membership and everything worked fine when I had the CS6.
Now since the CC Versions were released, I wanted to update of course. So I did.
Since then I am constantly haveing the same issue: I can not launch an app without having to do so many steps!
Here is what I have to do in order to open up any app (I have to do this EVERY time I launch an app..meaning when I open PS I do this, when I open ID I do this etc)
1) I click on the icon of the app (in this example PS)
2) I get the following "error":
(it is asking me to renew my subscription)
3) I click on "try again" and I get this message:
(it says "Thank you, your subscription for CC is now activated")
4) I click on "Continue" and get this message (again):
So I click on "Do you have another Adobe-ID?" and get to see this window:
... where I type in my Password and click on "Sign in" resulting in this:
and finally after clicking on "accept" in this:
...which basically is the same windows I get to see right at the beginning.
At this point I want to mention again that I have to do this e v e r y t i m e I start an app, for each app I have to run through all of these steps and if I close an app by accident and re-open it, I have to do this again.
I already tried to delete that file in the OOBE folder, did not work out.
Also, I am lacking all the presets in Premiere Pro (Digital DSLR etc) which makes me think, that all of my apps are running in trial mode..? At least I had this issue, when I launched Premiere as a trial in the past.
Don't get me wrong..But this is totally annoying and kills my workflow.
Any help? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks and greets from Germany!
DaniloOn the device that you don't want the apps to be downloaded on, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Once you turn that off, your problem will be fixed.

I'm having trouble with my Apple ID. I changed my email account, and recently (a month ago) and since I switched is requested every time I open any app to Apple ID password to the old email. How can I solve this? Could it be that my iPhone 4S is in sync with my Ipod???
If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPhone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

IPod messes up every time I update.
Hey all. I have an iPod touch 3rd Generation. I just updated it yesterday to the new iOS. When I updated it gave me an error message saying (usually 9 or 37) and told me I'd have to restore my iPod. I had to restore it on a totally different computer...because it won't restore on my laptop. It has no problems restoring on the other computer, then I add all my stuff (apps/music/videos, etc) back on from my laptop. I have this issue every time I update my iPod. Am I the only one out there with this problem??
Sounds like some kind of conflict.
Next time, try turning off any anti-virus or spyware software. Also, try plugging it into a different USB port - and don't use a hub. Be sure you are using a 2.0 USB cable.
Maybe that will solve your problem. -
Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels every time you start the app.
I want to confirm that this is not an isolated issue and to make a bit more noise because Apple didn't fix this in the 10.5.3 update. The problem is that the Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start the app. This only happens if the Address Book window is sized vertically larger than minimum. Now, each time you quit and start Address book it will reposition it's window 3 pixels down. After some time and many Quit/Starts your window will end up at the bottom of your screen and even size itself down to vertical minimum. If you have it positioned so that the bottom of the window protrudes off the screen then it will continue until it reaches the top bar of the window. It's not a serious bug I know. But, for the way I use Address Book it's annoying to have to reposition it's window to align with my other apps which I have open aligned/arranged at startup. It's just that all the other Leopard apps don't do this. Maybe it's a feature added to avoid patent infringement. Who knows! Apple I know you have bigger fish to fry but would you please clean this up.
To test first start Address Book and size your Address Book window vertically larger than its smallest size. Now repeatedly quit and start the Address Book application. Watch your Address Book window migrate down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start. Have fun, watching Address Book falls from grace. Good thing it doesn't migrate off screen completely!Hey! It works! Nice catch
Gee, now if the rest of Leopard would work properly they would even have the time to fix this -
Constant "Problem with Shortcut" Every Time iTunes updates
Sorry to vent, but this really bugs me.
Ok, this can't be hard to fix and isn't hard for ME to fix when I update iTunes, but this is REALLY, REALLY, REALLY annoying.
Here's the issue. Every time iTunes updates itself, it invalidates every Shortcut for the executable. I get "Problem with Shortcut" Windows Window and which says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."
This happens EVERYTIME iTunes updates itself, which seems very often.
It is really, really annoying. And it ONLY happens with iTunes (no other software - for example Firefox doesn't do this), which says to me that Apple can't be bothered to make sure that the path to their new executable is the same as the old when they do the update. Actually, now that I look at it, it looks like it is somehow deleting the path in the existing shortcuts when it updates, which sounds like a bug.
Any decent usability testing would find this and quickly fix this, but this happens on EVERY windows computer I have EVERY time iTunes updates itself, and it has been there for at least the last 5 upgrades, so I know it is not a 1 off thing only I am seeing.
Please, please, please fix this in your next patch.
Thanks.Add me to the list of the angry. Safari on Windows does this too.
Apple apps are the only ones I've ever seen on Windows to do this. I don't even understand how/why it happens - does it take the time to find all the shortcuts (which are separate files it would have to search your HD for) and deliberately break their paths?! If Apple are going to make windows applications, it'd be nice if they swallowed their pride and learnt the windows platform and its norms. 99.999% of other software vendors have figured out how to make shortcuts that work...
The worst thing about this is that the error message (admittedly, I think it's a windows message) gives the impression you have to reinstall iTunes! A quick Google search shows that a fair few people think that's the solution.
*If you're getting this problem: there's no need to uninstall or reinstall iTunes!* the problem is with the shortcut only, not the program. To fix it, find a working shortcut to iTunes (as mentioned above, there's normally a fresh one in your start menu somewhere) and drag it wherever you need it, then delete the old one. If you can't find a working one, browse to "program files"->"itunes" on your hard drive, select itunes.exe, go to File->Create Shortcut. A new shortcut will be made in that folder, that you can put wherever you like.
