IOS6 asking for Password for Apps
Hi Everyone,
I got my iPhone 5 recently and synced with two of my Apple ID to download the apps I need. Some apps were purchased on my 1st AppleID, and some apps were purchased on my 2nd AppleID.
At the moment I have apps from both ID in my iPhone5(iOS 6.0), but whenever I launch the Apps from 1st ID, it asks for password. If you cancel, the app just closes.
Now this is very annoying as I have some paid apps that are scattered across two different AppleID, and they are not exactly cheap to buy again:
1st ID: has two dictionaries $40, plus games $12,
2nd ID: has games $10 and different dictionaries $15
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
Is this a new restriction that was put into iOS6? do we have to keep putting in passwords every time we use apps from our previous ID?
The Apple policy is that you can deauthorize a Mac in the same way you authorized your new one, it is in the same iTunes app Store menu. But it must be in your physical possession to do so. Otherwise, if you have authorized five Macs, once a year Apple allows you to deauthorize all five at once, whether in your possession or not. But you cannot activate that process until there are a full five authorized Macs.
However, perhaps contacting iTunes Support they can assist you in deauthorizing a stolen Mac, outside the normal policy. In iTunes Support go to the Authorization section and you can email iTunes Support for assistance;

Good luck

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first. -
How come I'm not asked for password for every app purchase, app auto downloads once I tap install, not good when my kids start buying apps because they are not asked for password, help!!
Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..
Thanks again for prompt reply!!! -
Continuing asked about password for old Apple id on iphone5
I have changed Apple id, but I still been asked about password for the old one on my iPhone 5. How do i solve this probleme?
Are you saying you don't know the password for your old Apple ID?
To update any apps, on your phone, obtained with your old ID, you will have to: Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...then sign back in with your old ID...update the apps, then sign out again & sign back in with your new ID. Is this what you're doing?
There are only two ways to fix this: 1. Delete any content obtained with your old ID, then re-purchase with your new ID, or 2:
Go here:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Ask for assistance, and ask that the content obtained with your old ID be transfered to your new ID. If iTunes support agrees to do this, they will add the content to your download queue. -

trying to hook up preowned airpoirt extreme. asking for password for selected wireless device. would there be a password from previous owner?
A "hard reset" will do the same thing.
Make sure that the AirPort Extreme is powered on
Hold in the reset button for a few seconds and the amber light will begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding the reset button when you see this for another 4-5 seconds and release
Allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility and click Continue to follow the guided setup -
Asking for password for keychain access, but won't accept my password... What's up with this?
Restarted my MacBook just now and it's got a continuous stream of pop ups asking for password for keychain access, won't accept my password, won't go away (cancel), any suggestions.
Hello Al323,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Keychain Access on your Mac. I found a couple of articles I suggest for the issue you described.
Your keychain uses your the same password as your login password. If it is not accepting that password, I recommend running the Keychain First Aid using the steps in this article:
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7296
If you are still repeatedly seeing a prompt to enter your Keychain Access password, you may need to reset your keychain. This will create a new keychain so any saved passwords on the old keychain will not be available, and you will need to enter them when accessing sites for the first time again. Follow the steps in the article below to create a new keychain:
OS X: Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect. It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network. Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?
First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
Hope this helps. -
I keep having trouble with my pro it keep asking me password for my yahoo account
I keep having trouble with my pro it keep asking me password for my yahoo account
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
If you can't remember the answers then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Security' and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox) - but some recent posts are saying that Apple have temporarily suspended the reseting of security question/answers whilst account security processes are improved, so it may take longer. -
Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud. -

I took my iPhone 4s that I got for Mothers day of this year to the Apple store, because it would not activate after I restored it. So I have this new phone, did a restore from backup, and all is good. Except it keeps asking me for a password for my voicemail. Even if I am not in voicemail. Never had that problem before, and I did not set one up in my other phone, and do not want to set it up in this one. I tap on cancel and it goes away. But these little things really really bother me. I even have an issue with the iTunes Apple store asking me for my password every time I want to update. Sorry, it just bugs me. I can understand if I am buying something, but updates? And free apps? Anyway, if I have to I will keep tapping Cancel, but I never had an issue with my last iPhone 4s. Thank you.

IPAD Facetime keeps asking for password for wrong Apple ID, how do I fix this?
I have an iPad. It does not have a data plan. It can only access the internet via a wireless network.
Every time I turn it on, the FaceTime program asks for a password for an Apple ID account that I no longer use.
I have tried to reset the password, but it keeps saying to "enter a valid email account". Guess what, the email account IS VALID!
Also, I have asked to be sent an email to reset the password, and I don't get the email.
There does not seem to be a way to change the iPad to get out of this loop, and I cannot do anything else on the iPad until I answer the password, which I don't know.
I am beginning to lose faith in Apple products. Apple ID's are needlessly complicated. I should be able to merge two Apple ID accounts, but Apple won't let me.
For iCloud, it seems I need a separate account for everyone and every device in my family. Sync has already hopeless screwed up my address book on my cell phone, when it synced to my wife's account without me knowing it.
Surely Apple can make this easier, or perhaps not?
Of course I bought apple care, but they don't have 24 hour service, so as of right now, it was a waste of my hard earned money.Start with the Settings app
Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on your Apple ID and then tap on Sign Out
Then sign in with your correct Apple ID and password.
