ITunes Account Confirmation with every App update?

On iTunes 9.1.1, every time I go to download App updates, I first type in my password, then I am taken to the Account Settings screen. After I click done on the account settings screen, I am taken back to downloads, and must click "download all updates" a second time.
This behavior seems strange. Is anyone else experiencing this on their Mac? Is there a way to stop this behavior?

Same for me - once I enter the password in the first screen I 'cancel' the second request. Most of the time then things are ok - it is a pain but not enough to stop me from taking care of business.

Repeatedly asking for Apple ID Password with every app update iOS7

Since I updated to iOS7, I have to type in my password for every app update. I don't want to auto-update all the apps; I like an older FB app. How can I get my phone to remember my password like before in the app store?

I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.

Can I change iTunes account associated with an app

I downloaded a free app for some of my board members using my itunes account. When it needs to be updated it wants my itunes account information. Can I change this to their iTunes account?

No, apps (including free ones) are tied to the accout that downloaded them and they can't be copied/transferred to another account. If it's a free app then they should be able to delete the app and download their own copy without spending.

Can't update apps, wrong iTunes account associated with them.

I have just a handful of applications that when I try to update the the app store app prompts me for a password to my other account which the apps were not purchased on. All the apps were validly purchased on the first account, but now the apps are associated with my second itunes account and I can't update them. I've gone into the app store app and set the account to my first account but that does nothing for the update, it keeps prompting me for my password for my second account. I need it to switch back to the first account for these few apps. What's odd is that every other app updates just fine and are associated with the correct account, except for just these few. Any thoughts?
The message I get is that "this discounted price is only available to owners of previous versions.... blah blah." well, I own the previous version, that's how I got it on the iPad. But it's a different account. The update prompt does not allow you to change the username/email, only enter a password. Anyhoo, this is getting annoying.

I ran into the same problem. I had purchased apps using more than one account. When updating apps, I would get errors. Here's what I did to fix it . . . not easy, though.
First, attempt to update your apps on the PC. This will update all of the apps associated with the current account on iTunes.
1) Double-clicked in Apps iTunes (on PC)to open the Apps in another window
2) Arranged windows so I could see both my apps window and the main itunes window side by side.
3) Select an app in the apps window
4) Click on the down arrow right next to the name the Name column which and choose the app name from the drop down list. This will open the app info from the iTunes store in the main iTunes window.
5) Compare the versions. If the Store version is newer, delete the app from the iPhone and from the PC.
Repeat for each app.
Time-consuming but it works.

I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated email address on iphone 4

I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

I have had to create a new iTunes account. However, there are updates that were not performed while under the old account. So now when I try to update apps, it's asking for the login of the old account, which I do not have.

I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here:

I generated a new Itunes Account and now the App sync. does not work with theapps I bought with the old account. Is it possible to merge the old and the new account ?

It is not possible to merge Apple IDs.
Why did you create a new one?

Why won't my itunes account work for the app store on my imac?

I just got my mom's imac, which has her itunes account linked to the app store.
My personal itunes account is logged in in and working in itunes, but when i attempt to log into the app store, it says "Your device or computer could not be verified".
What's up??

Thanks for the help.
I just spoke with an apple rep and they walked me through a ton of stuff.
Ended up restarting a couple times they had me move the file "com.apple.appstore.plist" from Library/Preferences to my desktop and restart.
Then, logging in worked.
Thanks again!

Use cellular data for iTunes Match & Radio but not app Updates

Is there any way to set an iOS device so that it will allow using cellular data for iTunes Match and iTunes Radio but not downloading app Updates. I want to be able to set my wife's phone so that the apps are automatically updated over Wifi but she can then use iTunes Match and iTunes Radio when she is out. She only uses those in limited capacity so I am not too worried about her using up her data plan with those. However, app Downloads seems to be quite large, and they happened a lot recently when they all updated for iOS8.
Thanks,
Tony

No, but you could turn off Updates under Automatic Downloads in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then update them manually when you're connected to wifi.

TS3376 2 iPhones, 1 iTunes account, Find my IPhone app question.

My wife and I both have iPhones and use the same iTunes account. Consequently, this app only locates my phone and not hers. Is there a way to make it see both phones?

Does iTunes reconize your bf phone as diff from yours ? Should be his name.. Does he have his own apple ID?
He should have.. If those are both yes, then iTunes should reconize and seperate the two iPhone's. Also what operating system do u have? if it's windows u can use windows contacts and let your bf use yahoo so there is no confusion . Also it sounds like your contacts are in his iPhone back up and the same with yours....
Let me know if my babbling helps u lol ...

ITunes still says I have app updates after updating

I've been trying to find a solution to this for a while. iTunes will tell me I have a certain app for updating. I'll update it and after updating it still says that app needs to be updated. I've tried to delete the problematic app and re-download the app but it still shows it needs to be updated. The only solution I've found is to update the app on my iPhone and let it sync with iTunes to update it on my mac.
Does anyone have the same issue and have a better solution?

This solved my problem.... tnx Vadim Tumanov
