IOS6 still asks for password for free App updates

I thought free App updates are supposed to install without requiring my app store password to be re-entered, yet my iPad 2 still asks me for it each time. (my iPhone 4 is fine, free updates install without asking for my password).  What am I missing here? Is there some weird hidden away setting I need to configure on my iPad?
Thx

My iPad 3 running iOS 6 doesn't ask me for a password if I update Apps.
I don't think that I have any weird setting set.

    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.

    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..

  • 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.

  • 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,

  • Trying to hook up preowned airpoirt extreme. asking for password for selected wireless device.  would there be a password from previous owner?

    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

  • 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?

    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.

  • Why does Apple charge USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on App Store?

    I just found out that Apple charged my credit card for USD1.00 for downloading a FREE app like Hay Day on my iPad. At first when I sign in using my Apple ID, I it prompted me my credit card information. I thought it was just for verification purpose only. Later today, I received atext message from my bank telling me that Apple has charged USD1.00 on my credit card. Apple... Please explain!

    They don't.   Please see the document here >>>>>>>

    As you can see, it will never actually be charged.
