How do i stop having to put my apple id in every time i download an app?

I just got my iPhone and am trying to set it up. It seems like I have to type in my Apple id every time I want to download anything, even free stuff. Is there a way to set it so that my phone stores/knows my id and can skip that step?

Seen as you are a rather experienced iPhone user, Is there a setting for this?
Based on the OPs post, he is being prompted for the password when downloading new apps, not simply when opening the app store app. Oonce the password is set in the system, your shouldn't need to add it again just to open the store, only when making a purchases (including free downloads). That is how the system is designed to work, and is not likely to change anytime soon.

On 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.

As rex already mentioned, Apps and other content are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. No transfers. No combining Apple IDs. Forever means forever.
In practice, this means any apps you currently have - free or paid - will need to be either repurchased using your new Apple ID or downloaded again if free. Until you refresh all of your apps, your iPad will ask for credentials to the old Apple ID any time one of the apps is updated.
Why did you feel it was necessary to create a new Apple ID?

How do I stop the Welcome to Firefox tab from opening every time I open Firefox?

I have read two ways to try and stop this in the help but they either did not apply or I could not do what they suggest.
Every time I open Firefox of late the Welcome to fire fox tab opens along with my home page. It is only a small annoyance to turn it off each time but I would like to stop it from happening. What can I do?
I found another where they say to delete something out of the about.config but I was not able to delete the line. I could not find how to delete a line out of the about config.

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

How do I stop the "Better Privacy" help page coming up every time I open Firefox and while browsing?

The "Better Privacy" help page opens as a separate tab every time I open Firefox. I close it, but it keeps coming back, usually when I go to another site (by clicking a link or using a bookmark) and at seemingly random intervals while I'm browsing.
chrome://bprivacy/content/BetterPrivacy.html
I'm sure it's not malware, but it's driving me mad. Is there no way to block this annoyance?
I don't want to disable Better Privacy, but I'm often tempted to do so.
I'm using (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04, which comes with Firefox 18.0.2.

Check the Home page setting:
*Edit > Preferences > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

How can I stop iTunes from prompting me for my password every time I open it?

Every time I open iTunes I am prompted four times to enter my Apple ID password. Now I know that this is because I have automatic downloads enabled but it never used to do this when I had iTunes 11, only happened since I've had iTunes 12.
Short of turning off Automatic Downloads, is there a way that I can get iTunes to stop prompting me for my password?

Hi mikehoft,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are receiving repeated prompts to sign in with your account when you open iTunes on your Windows computer. It sounds like to me, because you mention Automatic Downloads, that you are being prompted to authorize your account. If this is the case, I would recommend working through all of the troubleshooting, in order, in the attached article to resolve this issue.

How can I stop Mac OS X from resetting proxy settings every time it reboots

I have an issue I have been working on for a few weeks now. We have several Mac Pros that connect to a Windows network. We use an automatic proxy pac file from the proxy service. I can change the settings in the network control panel, and in the browsers, even as the root ID in hopes it would hold and affect all of the users that may login. But every time the Mac Pro reboots, the settings are reverted to the previous setting.
I have tried setting up a fresh new location in the network control panel, but that has not helped.
I am still learning Mac OS X and I have not figured this one out yet.
Anyone have any ideas on how to set a proxy setting and have it apply to all the users that will login to our new settings?
Thanks in advance.

There are multiple ways to configure the proxy settings on a Mac it sounds like your trying to do it manually. All the places I have been that have used a proxy server have used the "Auto Proxy Discovery" method and this has worked fine. This will work fine for multiple user accounts on multiple Macs.
For those unaware "Auto Proxy Discovery" uses WPAD (Windows Proxy Auto-Discovery) protocol. This means it either 'learns' the address to download a PAC file from via DHCP option code 252 (preferred), or if it cannot get that address via DHCP it tries using the DNS method.
All the Mac web-browsers use the proxy settings learned via System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxies however some other software particularly command-line tools may need configuring individually. For example curl needs to be told separately.

How do I stop iTunes from being brought to the front every time I rip a CD?

It used to be that "Hide iTunes Windows" will do the trick. With the new iTunes, it stops doing it. I have over a thousand CD and it is getting annoying having iTunes keep popping up with each CD I put into my computer to get it rip, especially when I am working on other stuff.
Thanks!

Two places to set your prefs.
1 is in the System Prefs>Hardware>CD/DVD.
2 is in iTunes prefs>Advanced>Importing.
Set your prefs in those 2 places and all should be well.

How do I stop spam tabs/new windows from opening constantly every time I click on anything?

Hi! I have been having this issue recently of new tabs and windows opening constantly on my MacBook whenever I click on whatever website. I mean, even when I was trying to write the question to post on this forum, a new window popped and opened in the back ... without me clicking on something related whatsoever! I read that it might be malware or similar stories, but nothing works, I don't seem to make them stop under any circumstances. Please help because I am sick and tired of closing unnecessary popping tabs and windows all day long. I use safari and I have a MacBook Air.

And ofcourse I found the answer as soon as I posted the question (doesn't it always happen that way?). I went to Preferences - General - and checked the box "Close windows when quitting an application".

Because the JList doesn't itself implement ListDataListener, so I can't pass the JList to the removeListDataListener() method.
Looking at the code, it seems that this listening is handled by some universal Handler class that is passed to the BasicListUI.
Tracing further through the code, the only way I could come up with to remove the JList's ListDataListener is to call its' UI's uninstallUI method: So my code would be like this: list.getUI().uninstallUI(list); that seems a bit extreme, but unless I get someone to provide me with a better way, I guess it's better than the hack that I was mentioning before.

How do I stop iTunes from opening and playing a song every time I unplug my headphones?

I noticed today that iTunes was opening automatically and playing the first song in my library. Through some searching in the community here, I figured out it has something to do with when I jiggle the cable on my headphones, plugged into the headphone jack. I have an old late 2008 MacBook with all of the latest OS and iTunes, and I need to stop doing this. I flipped through the settings and the community and didn't find a solution other than "don't jiggle the cable".
I need to do some screen recording for work later on today and I don't want iTunes to keep opening and playing audio while I'm doing this. Does anyone know of a way to stop this from happening software side instead of hardware side? It seems ridiculous to me that iTunes would just open up because my headphone jack moved a little.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Garrett,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes launching unexpectedly. I recommend reviewing the following article to see if any third-party plug-ins could be causing the problem:
