How to stop the ATV asking for Apple ID Password

I just upgraded to 6. Now everytime the ATV boots up (I turn it off at night) it asks for my AppleID password. This never happened under 5.x. I do not rent or buy iTunes stuff from my ATV. I do not want to enter my password because I never had to under 5.x, how can I stop it asking for my password?

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

  • I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

    The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

    The iCloud password isn't saved anywhere on your device, this is the way it's supposed to work.

  • How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

    I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
    How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

    That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.

  • Why does iOS prompt repeatedly ask for Apple ID password?

    Dear Apple Support Community,
    Device: iPad 4th Generation (64GB WiFi + Cell/LTE)
    iOS Version: Latest version at time of publish - 6.1.3 (6.1.4 is iPhone specific)
    SITUATION: I am prompted for Apple ID password every time I access App Store or iTunes. Typically, this should only be required to confirm purchase(s) or if password has "timed out" between purchases.
    Additional Information: I suspect this is associated with Pre-ordered Movies and Music. This was experienced only after Pre-orders on all versions of iOS 5 and 6.
    Thanks in advance for your help, guidance, and coaching a "Technoid."

    Michael,
    Thank you for proposing a solution. However, it appears my restrictions are "Off". Your thoughts appreciated.

  • How can I stop my iphone 5 from asking for Apple ID Password constantly?

    I've had this problem ongoing for awhile now and it's starting to drive me nuts.
    A few months back I was using an app where you could purchase in-game points which would come through your apple ID. I purchased the points and they never arrived, but it's like my phone is constantly now trying to buy the points over and over. Randomly even when the app is closed I'll be asked for my Apple ID password, even if the app is deleted from my phone. If I enter my password it'll go away for a little while and then try again later. So I figure it is just continually trying to make the purchase and fails each time.
    I've contacted the support for the app and they never reply to any support email questions, I've looked around online and similar problems seem to be fixed by people looking at pending downloads sitting in itunes on their PC, but there is nothing pending at all. I've changed my Apple ID password. I've made sure it was synced with my phone, I've cleared it from my phone and re set it up again ... nothing seems to work.I even reset my phone entirely and it continues to ask .. it's like the problem is linked more with my apple ID rather than the phone itself. But I'm out of ideas of how to stop it.
    Any suggestions? It's incredibly frustrating!

    Turn the account off in settings.

  • How to stop the pw asking from iCloud

    After the iOS8 upgrade, every so often a pop-up message asking me for iCloud password shows out. The password I do not have.
    The problem is that I never activate iCloud but my son did it with an ID different from mine.
    I was told there are only two ways to resolve this problem:
    Access the email account associated with the ID as in the typical "forgot password" procedure. Login iCloud and change the ID. However, I cannot access the email account and my son forgot it after he had his fun.
    Provide the proof of purchase from two/three years ago.
    The things bother me are:
    Short time after my iphone purchase, I applied my apple id to get apps from the itune store. I used to believe this is only apple id I need and I can stay away from any apple service I do not need.
    Why my son can activate the iCloud service without knowing the password to my apple id?  When I purchased a free app, I had to provide my apple id/password. Why does a service that can lock my iphone require less?
    I trusted Apple service to be simple and friendly. Why I as the original owner of the iphone can not remove the iCloud service unconditionally? Specially, I bought it thru my mobile service provider.

  • Repeatedly asking for Apple ID Password with every app update iOS7

    Since I updated to iOS7, I have to type in my password for every app update. I don't want to auto-update all the apps; I like an older FB app. How can I get my phone to remember my password like before in the app store?

    I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
    Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.
