How did the Amex App access my location without asking for permission first?

I just downloaded the Amex App and started using it, put in my info and logged in. Checked balances and things then logged out. After going to my settings I noticed Amex was turned on under Location Sevices and that it had accessed my location earlier. It did not ask me if I allow or not when I was logging in the App earlier. This is the first time that my location was accessed without permission from any app or safari. I realize once you allow the permission it doesn't ask again, but in my case I just downloaded the app and used it the first time. Is this how some apps may do it, without permission?  I thought Apple was big on these kinds of things? 

My apologies about the post but in the App there was a section where it did ask for permission. It's all good. Thanks

  • How can view another macs screen without asking for permission

    I just recently upgraded all 4 of our macbook pros to mountain lion.  So far no problems until I wanted to look at my sons screen to make sure he was doing homework and not playing minecraft.  I went to "Network", chose his computer on our network, then chose Share screen.  I get two choices "ask for Permission" or "Log in".   I have screen sharing enabled on his computer and I have myself as a registered user.  I have tried turning on and off the Back to my Mac setting in iCloud on both computers.    I want to be able to see his screen without it asking for his permission.  Kind of defeats my purpose for screen sharing if it gives him time to quit minecraft before he answers my request. 
    The other choice "Log In"  is beyond useless.  I have not idea what the purpose would be to be logged in on someones computer and only be able to see your own screen.
    Before I upgraded to Mtn. Lion, I was able to screen share and see any computer without it asking for permission because I was a registered user on their computer.  I home school my kids and need to be able to see/control their screens from another room. 
    Any ideas on how to get this to work?
    Thanks,
    Jennifer

    Nope, it shows me a log in screen with my daughter/son's pic but won't let me type anything in the password box.

  • HT5925 I have an iCloud email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete it and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    I have an iCloud email and Yahoo email on my iPhone that is now old as hacked and unused. I can't access anything as it asks for that account info and I don't remember the password etc. How do I delete and replace it with my new iPad email? ! Help..

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

    I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?

    They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

    How does the itunes app on my 1pad2 work?

    The iTunes app on your iPad is just a portal to the iTunes Store.  To play music or videos, use the Music App and the Videos App.

  • How did the Apple Genius tech run that diagnostic test?

    Hello guys. I had a problem with my MacBook Pro with Lion when I installed Citrix Receiver. That drained the battery etc.... I took it to the Apple store and the Genius tech run a diagnotic test on it and fixed it. It seems it is a very common problems with Citrix and Lion.
    He run the test after he connected an Ethernet cable to it. Then, a series of small windows were displayed on the computer: the good ones were in green and the bad one was the Citrix one. I don't know if this was Apple Hardware Test (tried with pressing the D button while restarting, didn't work). I didn't run the DVD though.
    Can somebody tell what was that and how did the guy do it? Thanks

    The Genius was using proprietary software that is only available to Apple-certified technicians.

  • Just did the Mac App Store update and now MBP won't boot?!

    I just did the Mac App Store software update that required a restart and on bootup it just hangs at the spinning wheel and I can't get anywhere.  I've tried resetting the SMC and PRAM, but that hasn't helped.  Any ideas here?  I can't believe that update toasted my MBP!
    And I tried unplugging all my drives from it as well.

    Were you trying to install Mavericks?  What do you see when you restart your Mac with the Option key held down?  Does it indicate the boot volumes is Mavericks or your previous system?  If it's Mavericks boot into the Revovery volume and try reiinstalling from there.

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

  • The new U2 album that I never asked for keep playing on my Ipad, how do I get rid of it ? seems to come from the iCloud....

    need to delete this album from my ipad...
    icons of iCloud on the right of the songs.
    the album appears under artists
    doesn't appear on lists
    doesn't appear on the Imac when Ipad connected ?
    how do I suppress this music I don't want ?

    ok thx for answering, but I still don’t understand why the music is playing while I never downloaded it ?
    when I use the music icon on my Ipad, on my lists, it suddenly plays the U2 noise in the middle of it
    why, if it’s not on my Ipad ?

    when it show a cloud to the right then it's not on your device
    it mean that it's tied to y our iCloud account and can be redownloaded should you wish to
    if you buy other music from iTunes and don't want it on the iOS device anymore because you transferred to your computer
    and wish to add other music then that too will show with the cloud it mean that should you wish you can get it downloaded again free
    it's pretty much the same deal in app store app where you can click on purchases and access all apps tied to your appleID

  • After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

    Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc")  upwards.  I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

  • I have a canon MX7600 multifunction printer. My security setting allow connection with the printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine. If the firewall is running I get a dialog box every time I print asking for permission. How do I fix this?

    I have a canon MX 7600 multifunction printer. Each  time I print I get a dialog box asking for permission to allow connections to the printer. This box stays on my screen for a few seconds, if I don't click allow I get a communication error which then requires me to delete the job and start over. I contacted Canon and proceeded with their suggestions to no avail. They now say it is an Apple issue. My security settings are set to allow connection to the canon printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine, once I enable the firewall the problem returns.  This issue is a royal pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it short of buying a new printer?

    Thank

    The iPad is designed to be a single user device, and there is currently no way to password protect the Mail app - even removing the account password from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars will just prevent new mail being downloaded, it won't hide those that have already been downloaded. There is this work-around for the app : https://discussions.apple.com/message/13127632#13127632 . Also there might be third-party email apps that feature password protecting.
