IBooks is now requiring Apple ID password upon opening!

Why do I need to login with my Apple ID every time I open iBooks on my iPad mini?
This is cumbersome!

Try this I read on another Support Thread:
Go into your iTunes app on the device(s) you use and check the Downloads tab. If you have pending downloads clear it.
I checked both iPhone and iPad and sure enough there was "pending" downloads in the iTunes app. I cleared them and signed on to iBooks without having to re-enter password. Still a "Bug" in my book but at least a workable solution.

I just downloaded a lot of PDF textbooks to my ibooks, and now it crashes within seconds of opening the app. I have tried restoring the iPad and just updated the iBooks to 3.1. Any ideas? I have the new iPad.

What a waste of space to paste the code.
Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.

Device now requires an encryption password

Hi, I went to make an alarm change on my HTC One M8 and found my phone had powered down on its own. After I powered it up it now requires a password to decrypt my device. I have not turned on encryption and have not rooted the phone, thanks.

That's pretty strange, dstenz50. It takes a few steps to encrypt a phone http://bit.ly/1kdQYgh and I haven't come across it doing the process on it's own. Has anyone had access to your phone? Did you previously set up a PIN or password to your device? What's the exact message you're seeing?

Why does iBooks keep asking for apple ID password?

For a few days whenever I start up iBooks on my iPad, it asks me to log in with my Apple ID. I can say 'cancel' and going on reading without problems; I can also give my Apple ID password and everything will behave the same way (I see no difference).
I have seen the discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20897580#20897580 and I tried to follow what was described there, but it did not worl. I get no warning on 'purchases not yet downloaded'

That thread helped me. I am using the latest (11.1.1) version of iTunes.
Went to Store > View Account
Right at the top of the page, and I mean the top (right around the Account Information title) was a message proclaiming downloads pending download. I clicked it and then the notification went away and so did the message on my iPad.
Bit long winded there but I'm just happy to have that popup gone! Best of luck!

Iphone requires Apple ID password every time I turn it on

Hi,
I have a brand new iPhone 6 that I set up as a "restore from backup" from an old phone. Every time I turn the phone on, it asks for my Apple ID password. The username (email address) is correct and pre-populated, and it accepts my password. But it does it every time.
I have tried logging in and out of iCloud. I have turned off and on iCloud, Find My iPhone, Keychain, Facetime, iMessage etc. I have backed up the phone and restored it from backup. I have reset my network settings. I have checked for incomplete downloads of apps, music and videos. I have been through chat with Apple Support a few times and had a support call from them, where they suggested the actions above. I just can't seem to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in anticipation.

Mine too! I read in our local paper that someone was having the same issue and got tired of hitting cancel and entered their password. They then received their bill for over $1000 on their account for charges to their itunes account. I am still trying to find out what to do myself about this.

Deleting files now requires my user password?

This suddenly started happening and I don't know how to turn this function off. Maybe I accidently turned it on somehow...
Help please.

You didn't tell me this would automatically delete the files, and not move them to the trash. Now it doesn't ask for a password anymore, but permenatly deletes the file right away.
It shouldn't
Choose your Home folder "Get Info" (command-i) and be sure you have "read & write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. Check under "General" section to be sure it isn't locked. If that is correct, launch Applications/Utilities/Terminal and at the prompt copy & paste this command…
mkdir ~/.Trash
If you get a message that the folder already exists, copy & paste these commands...
sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
Press return Enter your admin password (it will be invisible) Press return
Then copy/paste this command...
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash
Press return. Log out and back in, or restart.

Removing password upon opening iphone

how does one remove the password option on iphone 4s running the latest iOS7

Tap Settings > General > Passcode Lock

Linked PDF with Open Doc password- false, Edit Permissions- true, requires password to open AI doc

I would like to password protect editing of a placed PDF. I have set the PDF Open Doc password to false and the Edit permissions to true. Illustrator still requires the permissions password to OPEN the Illustrator document. This would defeat the purpose, no?

Well, it does seem to work, sort of. The Illustrator document with a placed, protected PDF asks for the password when opening. The password is also required when attempting to embed (edit) the linked PDF, as expected.
I would think the correct behavior should be for the Open Document password protection (or lack of) to control opening the Illustrator document and the Edit Permissions password to be applied when embedding or flattening the linked PDF, making it accessable to editing. Acrobat seems to be able to make this distinction.
This would be a significant feature for users who need to restrict editing of sensitive portions of their layouts while allowing necessary prepress work downstream.

It sounds like this iPad was purchased second hand. If so, you will need to contact the original owner, otherwise your iPad will remain Activation Locked.

I recently backed up my iPad and then I restored it to factory settings. Now, I want to restore it from the back up that I created, but it will not accept my Apple ID password. Is there any way that I can save my data?

Hi,
As I have said in the title, I was supposed to do a restore on my iPad for work. I backed up the device and then I restored it to factory settings as I was instructed. Now that all of that is complete, I tried to restore it from the back up point I created and it will not recognize my Apple ID password. I really hope that I won't lose all of my data, but I don't know what else to do. I have tried entering my password numerous times. I really hope that someone can help me.

Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

I've had my iMac put away for about a year, now I can not remember the admin password upon startup. And I don't have the installation cd's (of course)! Is there any way to re-boot, re-do, get into my Mac to change it. I don't remember it even w/ the hint

Call Apple with the Serial and they will send you the ones that came with the Mac. Or search the Net.

Hi, I want to revert back to my old apple id password (6 digits). The complicated password now is not very user friendly to me.

Sorry I misinterpreted what it was that you want to do. The following gives the current password requirements: Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
There isn't any way to have a 6 digit numerical password -- as you already found. With the amount of password hacking going on currently, I suspect that if you were able to change it back you would be putting your account at a significant risk. You are being forced, but I think Apple is doing that with good intentions and that it is in your interest. You can complain (provide feedback) at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

HT1430 For some unknown reason my Apple ID password does not work when trying to down load books from the IBook or Nook Apps. It also has stop work when trying to down load new Apps. Any suggestions out their???

For some unknown reason, my Apple ID Password does not work when trying to down load IBooks, Nook books, or new Apps. Everything else seems to work. Any suggestions out their???

I appreciate the info and realize that the Nook App is not related to my Apple account but this too has stopped working. My situation first started with the Nook App not down loading and then has now spread to my IBook and new app downloads. I have checked into my ITunes account and the ID and password are correct and at times when I am asked to submit my Apple password such as setting up this Apple Support Community the ID and password work. My problem seems to be just with trying to use my ID and password when wanting to download new books or apps. I can go into the IBook, Nook, and App stores and seemingly download an item but when clicking on the new book or app nothing happens and I get a message that states it can not get into the ITunes store and it wants me to either try again or cancel. This message appears usually ten minutes after I have tried to make a purchase. At other times when I attempt to download a book or app I lose the screen and the IPad goes into the opening screen. Short of redoing my Apple account or deleting an app and attempting to reload the app (but this won't work because the App store won't load new apps) I don't have a clue what to do.
