How do I get iCloud to stop asking for my PW?

I just got a MacBoook, and iCloud keeps asking for a password.
I never set up an iCloud account, and I don't know why it's doing this.  How do I make it stop?

Can't explain why that would happen.  If you haven't already done so, try simply restarting your Mac.  You might also want to check System Preferences>Internet Accounts as well as the Accounts menu with apps like Mail (Mail>Accounts), Calendar, Contacts, Messages, etc. to be sure your iCloud account isn't listed (if you have one).

    how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password  that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes.  I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work. 
    iTunes is having issues.  I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works. 
    Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this.  For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

  • How do I get Lion to stop asking for a network server?

    Hi all,
    I keep getting a very annoying message after upgrading to Lion.
    The message is: "there was a problem connecting to the server POZ.local"
    It does not make any difference if the server is up, running and connected to the network either.
    What can I do to get rid of this irritating dialogue box?
    Thanks in advance all!
    Patrik

    I have the same problem. I suspect it has something to do with the versioning function, as it only seems to happen when I have a document open that I have made a change to. In my case it's asking for my NAS. Sorry I can't be more help.
    Regards,
    Fiver

  • How to Get Safari to STOP asking for Password

    Whenever I start up Safari for the first time, it annoyingly asks for a password, and I've dismissed this prompt without typing in any passwords, and I've been able to continue doing what I'm doing. But how do I get Safari to stop asking for a password? I've read similar posts but nothing has been asked in exactly this way, as far as I can tell. What I've done:
    - Gone into Keychain Access and deleted the only Safari-related item I find there, called "Safari Forms Autofill." This works temporarily but the password prompt comes back again, and this item appears again in Keychain Access.
    - Gone into Safari Prefs Autofill and made sure Passwords was unchecked; it was.
    Any ideas?

    Aha, I've answered my own question: You have to uncheck the "Other Forms" option in Safari Auto-Fill Prefs as well. Ho ho ho all.

  • How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?

    How do I get iTunes to stop asking me to sign in?  I will never buy from iTunes so there is no point in me signing in.  A year ago I bought a couple of albums off iTunes but I was sorely disappointed that I did not have the hard copy and album art in a physical form.  That made me resolve to only buy music (or any content) in solid form and from the artist themselves if possible.  And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.  So with that said, it is very annoying that iTunes on start-up asks me to sign in, not once, but TWICE.  For such a little thing, you would think it would be infuriating.  But alas, I'm very tired of being bullied and that is all it is to me.  ITunes is a marketing BULLY.  I'll stop now before I start in on all the explicatives I can think of for iTunes Store.
    CAN ANYONE HELP?

    Try this...
    Sign into the iTunes store and View account.
    Uncheck Ping (to turn it off).
    Also, iTunes prefs > Store. Uncheck Automatic downloads
    And this is not to mention the proprietary format of iTunes music
    Good thing we don't mention it then because AAC is not proprietary.
    which basically makes every purchase a lease and not an ownership.
    You mean exactly like when you purchase music on a CD (or from any other online store or source)?
    You do own the actual CD, but for the music, all you are purchasing is a license to use it (a lease) in accordance with that license.

    If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
    Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
    If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

    How do get it to stop asking?

    Go to iTunes Settings, on the Devices tab you will see a list of all available backups.  If you don't see the one you're looking for there it doesn't exist to restore your phone to it.  Also, if you want to prevent iTunes from syncing automatically you can check "Prevent...from syncing automatically" on the Devices preferences screen.
    If you do see the backup you are trying to restore to listed here, you should be able to right-click on the name of your phone and select it to restore from.  When you right-click on your phone you should see these choices, where "iPhone" is the name of your phone:

    Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
