Installing additional content is painful asks for password near the end and stalls

Content addition does a bit of downloading then stalls askes for user password I dont want to babysit my computer for 30 hours to re supply a password for each new bit of content every once in a while. Why does it do this?

Because too much time has passed I can't edit this into the prior comment, but here is the info regarding reverting to iTunes 11.0.2 (assuming you do have a time machine backup) from https://discussions.apple.com/message/22057703#22057703

Repairing permissions doesn't fix it.
I reverted to the previous version, 11.0.2.
1. Quit the new crash-prone iTunes.
2. Delete the app.
3. Restore v. 11.0.2 with Time Machine.
4. In your iTunes folder look for a folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries", find the latest one.
5. In the iTunes folder itself you'll see "iTunes Library.itl", delete it (or compress it and save a copy for later just in case.
6. Copy the newest .itl file in Previous iTunes Libraries to the iTunes folder and rename it "iTunes Library.itl".
7. Launch the older version of iTunes.
My crashing has seemed to have ceased with a revert to an older version. I noticed today that the newer crashing iTunes had been launched for hours but not playing anything, when I played internet radio it crashed within 5mins, fed up I reverted to an older version.
Btw, a simpler way to do this is to revert to older iTunes app, then hold Option when it launches and choose an older library.

Apple ID pops up asking for password all the time

Apple ID pops up asking for password all the time which I type in, I know correclty, however a screen afterwards pops up saying 'password incorrect'. I've had to change my password continuously as whenever I try to sign in through the Apple website it too tells me my password is incorrect. I'm worried that my Apple ID is being hacked or there is some glitch or virus occuring. What should I do? Also lately there has been a similar occurence with Game Center, whereby it will pop up in a few of mu games every 2-5 minutes, I don't use Game Centre but my sister does. I disable Game centre, but after 2 or so minute it will pop up again, not sure if this is happening due to the password issue. Does anyone have any ideas of what it happening or how I could fix the issue. (this is through my Ipod touch iOS 6.1.3)

I'm not entirely sure from your description exactly what is going on. However, if you are being asked for the password for your Apple ID (be sure it's the right one) and the password that should work is being rejected, one strong possibility is that someone has hacked your Apple ID. They may do this in order to purchase apps, music, movies, etc, on your credit, which can then be used (though not updated) even after you change your password. Check your purchase history for any unusual purchases. Change your password (which may require a call to Apple if you no longer know the current password) and consider enabling two-factor authentication to protect against any future unauthorized changes to your Apple ID.

I had the icloud account changed on the iPad (have added new ID and deleted old one). However when updating/downloading , it still asks for password to the previous account...?

I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!

Maybe you should set it up as new device again:

There is a world of information in these forums if you use the search function near the top right of this page. Just type in NAS for example and you get many threads on the subject (marked with a green checkmark if it solved the question) another example would be Airport Exterme and sound system. Once you formulate your ideas better then specific questions can be addressed one at a time. You may find that a less expensive choice for a server might be a mac mini. Good luck with your project, ask more specific questions and update you systems profile.

Emails are not displaying content. Not asking for password.

Usually with every sign in/opening Mozilla, I am asked for my password for my account. As of this morning, it is not asking me for my password. When I click on a previously viewed email, it shows a blank screen. There are some emails that show normally, but most are not showing the content at all (just blank)??
HELP!
Thanks,
Jen
''(E-mail address removed by moderator. Please read the [[Forum Rules and Guidelines]]) Thanks!''

I am connected to the server, and it appears Mozilla is connected to the server. I am receiving emails and can read the emails that have been received today. But any emails I received prior to today I cannot see (this includes emails that I have opened and read, and emails that I haven't opened). Can you direct me how to review my password information and prompts? I don't know why it is not prompting me for my email account, but my childrens emails the password prompt comes up.

Mail keeps asking for password when I enter and try to send messages

When ever I enter 'mail' and then try to send messages it always ask for a password in both instances. I have changed the preferences and added the password and when I save the changes they don't appear as changed

OK. When you say that Mail doesn’t save the password, are you basing this solely on the fact that Mail keeps asking for it? Or is there something else that makes you believe Mail doesn’t save the password?
Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, try removing the password entry from the keychain and let Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.

Ask for password, but not accept, and how to chang...

Hi!
I tried to switch from my old e-mail adress to my new, because the older is not alive anymore (delete back in 2010), and I want to switch to the new, but then, Skype asks for my password, and I give it, but always returns with a not correct password error. What can I do?

I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

AOL asking for password all the time

Hi,
Everytime I log onto iChat with my .mac account (the only one set up on my compter) I have to enter my password to allow me to connect to AOL AIM. I have tried saving the password in my keychain but it still keeps on coming up. My password is less than 16 characters, as I heard that was a problem with AOL. Does anyone have any way of getting rid of this?
Thanks

HI Susan,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages
If you go to iChat > Preferences > Account and click on the Account and then look at the Account info on the right is the password dots there ?
IF you log that account out of AIM and re-enter the password does it stick ?
You may have to delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist
This file is in Users/(your acount)/Library/Preferences.
Restart iChat afterwards. Yu are likely to be sent back to do the Startup screens.

Outlook 2007 and 2010 on Windows XP keeps asking for password

I have a fresh installation of Exchange 2013 installed on Windows 2012 and the problem is that Outlook 2007 and 2010 which is installed on Windows XP keeps asking for password.
The problem occurs only on Windows XP while on Windows 7 is working fine.
Any help will be appreciated!

Hello
I had similar issue in my environment -Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4-v2 ,DAG 2 MBX servers(MBX1 and MBX2) in production site ,2 CAS in production site ,17 mail box databases , Public folder replicated to all the mailbox servers.
strangely users using outlook 2003 and outlook 2007 were being prompted for user name passwords.
investigations were done as follows
1. test connection status -click on the outlook icon in the lower right of the users desktop.clicked on test connection status ..
2. found that the username was being prompted while attempting to connect to the public folder in MBX1 server.
3. using EMC on the exchange server, changed databases pointing to public folder in MBX1 to public folder in MBX2. This solved the issue for us.however we were not sure of what the exact issue was ..was it public folder corruption in MBX1? .we found
that the users were being prompted for username and password only in outlook 2007 and not in OWA or outlook 2010. this made us rule out possibility of Public folder corruption in MBX1 server.
4.raised a case with microsoft to do a RCA (root cause analysis) . The resolution from them was to change the exchange RPC service on MBX1 from "network service" to "local account" and switch back to "network service".
The reason stated by microsoft is "password cache corruption" .Any ways the problem was solved at the server level.
Hope this helps all of you who have been scratching your head over this issue

Startup asking for password never asked before

Why would my imac ask me for a password, never did before. At startup shows my pitcher and below to login. On bottom center of window has shutdown, restart etc...the backround looks like the mission controll backround color silver or grey, I have my computer set not to ask for password.

Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences and turn automatic login off and back on. Also ensure it's not disabled in the Security pane and that FileVault isn't enabled for your account.
