I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app, big problem with kids

I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app or music in iTunes, big problem with kids. How do I enable

To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

  • Can i stopping it asking for my password when downloading from app store?

    Hi all
    wondering if anybody could help me please
    i brought a iphone 4s at the weekend and every time i download a app from the app store i have to put my password in, if i download an app then click on another to download i have to put it in again, as my password has to be more than 8 letters long its getting a bit annoying having to keep putting it in every app i download and was wondering if there is a way to set it up so that i dont have to put the password in for every download i make please ?
    thanks in advance

    Unless you changed it in Settings>General>Restrictions, you have 15 minutes after entering your password during which, if you buy other things, you will not be required to enter it again. Outside of 15 minutes, you will always be required to enter it. That is a security feature that is not user changeable.

  • Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

    I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
    I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
    Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
    My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
    This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

    Entered incorrectly?
    Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
    Reset Password is the next option.
    If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
    iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
    That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
    And to the comment
    [Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
    Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
    Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
    If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
    Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

  • I'm being asked for my password when I shouldn't be in Net Prefs

    Hello,
    I don't understand why System Prefs asks me for my password to relock after I already entered it seconds earlier to unlock.
    Network prefs is where this happens, and it occurs about half the time.
    I'm hesitant to blindly enter my password whenever I'm prompted when it seems to be out of place like this. I'll enter my password to unlock so that I can make a change. Then when I relock it asks me again. If I do not enter the password, and instead close the password box, the entire Network Prefs window contents disappears leaving a blank box.
    System bug, or malware/intrusion?
    Thanks.

    If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
    If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your data is unrecoverable.
    While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups & restore the phone as a new device. Your data will be unrecoverable.
    You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.
    If you have data on your phone, like messages, you want to save, you're gonna have to use third-party software, like this, to extract them from your phone. Notes, contacts, etc, you can just sync back to your phone after you restore as new.

  • Apple App Store asks for different password when updating an app. Its an old apple ID i don't know the pass for.

    When I initially download an app on my iphone, I use my current apple ID. When I appstore tells me I have an update for an app, it asks me for a different apple ID, which I no longer use, nor know the password to.

    Go to Settings/Store and verify your apple id stored there. You can tap on it and sign out, allowing you to log in with your new apple id.

  • HT201272 Why am I asked for bank details when downloading free apps?

    When trying to install and download free apps from the app store why am I asked to enter my bank details and confirm my purchase???

    For the App Store you need an Apple ID with a credit card tied to it.
    Apple will make an Authorisation Holds for a $1 to verify credit card information but will be not charge.

  • IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

    My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
    On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
    Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
    I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
    I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.
    iBook G4 1.2 Mac OS X (10.4.5) All updates via Software Update
    iBook G4 1.2   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
    To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
    If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
    And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
    But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

  • HT5631 How do I turn off being asked for my password EVERY time I want to download an app?

    How do I turn off being asked for my password EVERY time I download an App on the app store?  When I go to the security page on "Manage my Apple ID" it only has a link to set-up two step verification...not disable it.

    You can't.

  • HT1349 I am being asked for a password on my exchange account -- what is that and how do I find out the password?

    I am being asked for a password on my exchange account -- what is that and how do I find out the password?

    That is your mail account (or one of them anyway) and you need to get it from your Exchange administrator.

  • I have just synced my iPhone to a new mac, however i have lost all photos plus my work emails, certificates etc. I am being asked for a password to restore settings but cannot remember this - can i get a password hint. Or any other ideas what i can do

    I have just synced my work iphone to my new mac and have lost photos, work email etc I am being asked for a password for mu iphone backup, however cannot remember this and cannot seem to get a hint - can anyone help please. I had not previously synced this phone with another computer

    Hi Bob
    Thanks for the input.  Interesting that it ran on my computer for a 
    while (about 2 days) before it first started bleating.  I suppose if I 
    had to upgrade, it would be to the Mac version.  Everything else I 
    have tried on Parallels works, even Steinberg's Wavelab, which I 
    thought would be an impossibility.
    I shall persevere.  I am just appalled at the level of support that 
    Adobe provides, plus the fact that their website just plain doesn't 
    work.

  • I am being asked for the password for my btinternet account however when I supply it I get a message saying there is an error in the internet accounts preference pane

    I am being asked for the password for my btinternet account however when I enter it I get a message saying there is an error in the internet accounts preference pane. How can I resolve this?

    BT have made some changes to their email services recently (http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44789/) so you may be having problems because of this. I was certainly having problems, although I don't think that they were exactly the same as yours, and resolved it by creating a new account called something new. If you haven't deleted any mail from the BT webmail, when you create a new account on your Mac, it will mirror everything on webmail as it is an IMAP account. Once you are happy that the new account is working properly and that you haven't lost any messages, you can delete the old account.

    I've just upgraded to iPhone 4S and restored data from my old iPhone through iTunes.  I'm being asked for a password to get into my phone and the old password I had doesn't work.  I don't know what password it's looking for

    Thanks for replying, I'm a real techno-cretin.  What do you mean by not using the backup?  I'm busy trying to restore my new phone and it's doing a 6 hour download with updates.  Can I restore the data from my old phone backup onto the new iPhone 4S when the download is done?
