How do i get automatic downloads to stop asking me for my password?
hi, i am wondering how i could get automatic downloads to just automatically remember my password instead of asking me ever single time i open iTunes, its starting to get on my nerves that for itunes to "automatically" download my purchases i have to actually initiate it my self by inputing my password. it kind defeates the purpose of the whole "automatic downloads" feature. please help!
Call them up anf you cancell your Data plan. If you sold the iPad you should have done this before hand. Otherwise you are basically paying for the other persons Internet access.

No matter how many times I provide my Keychain Password, the pop-up window keeps coming back. Seriously annoying...I'd rather not use Keychain. Any way to just turn this crap off?
If you're still having this problem, this might correct it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5362.

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.
Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
(A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
(B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
(C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
(D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
(E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
(E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
(E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
(E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.

A family member passed me down their iPod, but how do I get it to stop asking me for their password?
Every time I want to update or download an app, it shows their email and asks for their password. Is there a way I can get it to stop and only ask for my password?
Apps will always be tied to the acount form which they were purchases and will always have to be updated using that account.
For itunes: you can sign out of the itunes account and sign into your under Settings.
You should read the manual:

How can I get iTunes to stop asking me for my password?
Lately I'm asked to enter my password two or three times every time I open iTunes, and it's getting old. I am an adult and the sole user of this computer so I don't need big brother Apple looking out for me. Just give me something to sign so Apple's lawyers can go screw something else up and leave me alone to enjoy my music. Does anyone have an actual demonstrated working solution, rather than just some pet theory? (I say it this way, because I have tried several suggestions by other posters.. "just log out of iTunes, close the program and then open it and log back in..." and blah, blah blah, and nothing has even made a difference)
I have the exact same problem. It asks me 3 times before it accepts the bloody password. It asks me every time I open the program. It asks me if the program is open and I venture over to their lousy radio feature. Just leave me logged in for crying out loud. Pardon my vent.

What OS are your running? If you can access your user library, you can go to Keychains/login.keychain and move it to your desktop. Restart and a new login keychain should be created. If successful, delete the one from your desktop. -

How do I get os x to stop asking for confirmation of a command?
Ask anything, delete email, close a window, etc. and it constantly asks for confirmation. Any way to remove that?

Confirmation of what command are you referring to?
You can set the mail preferences so that trash is not stored in the trash, but deleted immediately.
Most apps have preference settings to not ask for confirmation, such as Trash. Have you looked carefully at the preferences?
Which windows ask you for confirmation requests when closing? Are you referring to 3rd party software? Also closing is not the same as terminating.
Safari and FireFox only ask for confirmation, not when closing a window, but when closing the app, and then, only if more than one tab is open.

RESET PASSWORD CONSTANTLY. SEEMS LIKE ITS OUT OF SYNC WITH ITUNES, HAVE GONE BACK TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS AND HAVE SYNC AGAIN WITH ITUNES SUCCESSFULLY
WHEN EVER i TRY TO DOWNLOIAD AN APP IT WILL REJECT THE PASSWORD. HAVE RESET THE PASSWORD SEVERAL TIMES. STILL CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANY NEW APPSI'm having the same problem with my iPad Mini. I've decided after many attempts that it's Apple's problem, since I have no problem accessing the store and making purchases through my other devices. It's saving me a lot of money not being able to buy new apps and in-app purchases. And I'm not going to waste any time with Apple Support on it. They want my money, they can figure it out all on their own. Maybe Samsung is better with this sort of hiccup...

How do I prevent automatic downloading of .pdf files?
Hi:
I've noticed previous queries (from 2008 and 2009) asking how to prevent Safari or perhaps Adobe Reader from automatically downloading .pdf files when they open them.
I haven't had this problem recently until today. Previously, I would click a link and the .pdf file would open in a separate window. If I wanted to download the file I would have to select the download icon from the pop-up icons at the bottom of the page.
Today when I click a link to a .pdf file, the file automatically downloads to my Download folder. Adobe Reader is opening the file. In its Internet Preferences, I deselected "Display PDF in browser using. . ." and "Allow speculative downloading. . ." to no effect.
How can I get automatic downloading to stop?
I also selected a .pdf file, pressed Command-I, and in the Open With section of the pane, tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect.pjmetz: You say "tried changing from Adobe Reader to Preview and then Safari to get the automatic downloading to stop, but neither choice produced the desired effect." What effect did these changes produce? I am sure they didn't leave things as they were, did they? If they did, and Adobe Reader is strong-arming its way to causing all PDF files to download, try removing Reader and give it a test with no Reader-assist. Oh, I'm not trying to get you to give up on Reader. You can copy Reader to an ext. HDD for safe-keeping, and then trash it from the internal HDD, and empty the trash. Then test Safari. If Safari works correctly without Reader, get your answer from Adobe.com
maxintaft: PDF files cannot be editied easily even on your HDD, mush less in a browser window. Whatever it is you are typing in (or have been typing in previously), it is not a PDF file, so your issue needs a new question, or contact the school site webmaster for help. -
Why do I keep getting a pop up menu asking me for my password in itunes to enable automatic downloads? I turned it off in the itunes preferences several times. iTunes still gives me a pop up message asking for my password. Please help.
Automatic downloads is for when you download something on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and automatic downloads will download these on your Mac or pc, eliminating the need for syncing. But I have limited bandwidth at home so I do not want this feature. Mine actually stopped bugging me for now, I cruised around the whole community looking for an answer and different things seems to be working for different people. It just seems to be a bug that will hopefully be fixed in an update. For me, I put in my password, even though I didn't want it, made sure it's not set to allow automatic downloads and tested it and it worked. It hasnt bugged me since, but it may come back over time.

Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?
If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

How do I get my downloads to open automatically, right now I have to find where my download folder is each time and then find the file I just downloaded. My download pop up screeen is also blank.
This should not have changed all by itself but it should be easy to change back
*See [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]
** You should be able to choose to open .pdf files with Adobe. <br />Use Menu Button {Three bar icon) -> Options {cog icon) -> |Applications|
*[[Use the Adobe Reader plugin to view or download PDF files]]
* Also see [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]] Although that is not what you will be doing. -
outlook closes and will not download a particular message.How can i get that message to stop coming to my inbox?
Hi,
May I ask your intention by doing this? Is the particular message harmful to your computer?
Which type of email account are you using? If you want to prevent a particular message from being downloaded to Outlook, we can login to the web interface of your email account and then remove the particular email from your Inbox.
If I've misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.
One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place.
