ITunes asking for password varification when videos are playing

Is there a setting that can be changed in iTunes? When I am watching movies on my iMac iTunes will pop up a message stating "check for downloads please enter password" I press cancel and get back to my movie 1-2 min later the same pop up appears and re appears untill I enter the password and then it asks again. I have run anti-virus software on my computer (though I don't see why I had to it is brand new I got it 1 week ago) no viruses. I took it to the apple store and they took a look at it and could not find any virus. So what is going on!!? I thought with the new update to OS X 10.8.3 I tunes would ask for password once and never again while it was running. I get asked for a password varification at least 6 times when I am purchasing from the iTunes store or downloading new content or updating my library. ***!!! I don't mind varifying my password when I am purchasing but when I am watching a movie iTunes needs to turn the **** off!

Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in).

After booting itunes asks for password ..

only on my mini i7 itunes always asks for password, very anoying ..
thankfull for any ideas to solve this.
(all other macs no problem)

Sounds like you encrypted your iPhone backup. If you did, a password is required to restore the information to iPhone(the one you entered when you checked the box to encrypt your backup). If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you will have to do a full software restore and when prompted by iTunes to select the backup to restore from, choose Set up as a new device.

ITunes asking for apple ID when importing tracks from Windows Media Player

I have a friend who is a new radio DJ. I have convinced her that iTunes would be better to play her tracks from than WMP. What has happened is that iTunes has imported all of her tracks and albums from WMP but it is asking for her Apple ID for every track she tries to play.
Most of these tracks were imported into WMP from CD so why is iTunes asking for the Apple ID? How do I resolve this for her?

Are these songs MP3's or WMA files? What is the source of those songs? Did you rip from CDs into Windows Media Player? If you did then they shouldn't be protected files. iTunes will now have to convert them to an iTunes compatible file (MP3/AAC)
I only use MP3.

ITunes asking for password to unlock backup file?

I am upgrading my iPhone 4 to iOS 5. I backed up my phone (via iTunes 10.5) and downloaded and installed iOS 5. I am now going through the setup process and it is at the "Restore from iTunes Backup" step. I connect to iTunes and iTunes is prompting me for a password to "unlock your iPhone backup file." No I did not encrypt the iPhone backup, nor is it or was it checked in iTunes. I have tried my iTunes password, my 4 digit unlock code for the iPhone, and several other passwords. When I did the backup an hour ago I was not asked for a password. I am at a loss as to what it is.

Well I finally got through with the correct password. For some reason it was the original iTunes password I had setup when I first got the iPhone 4 and iTunes 17 months ago. I had changed that password soon after creating it and have since changed it several times. Somehow it popped into my head and after trying hundreds (no I'm not kidding) of passwords, success!
It is important to point out:
When I have performed previous upgrades to the iOS I have never been prompted for a password when restoring the data.
I have never checked the box in iTunes to encrypt the iPhone backup.
I still have no idea what made iTunes go back to an ancient password.
Good luck to all if you have to go through this because this has not been a fun few days.
Let me add a suggestion that I have come up with for storing passwords where you can access them from anywhere. Setup a Yahoo or Hotmail account with all fake information (Name, address, b-day, etc.) with a “handle/name/email address” that has nothing to do with you but you can recall. In other words, you are setting up an anonymous email account. In this email account, create an email to the same account and put your passwords in it but do not include the accounts/websites they are for. You could include hints (that only you could recognize/decipher) that would tell you which accounts/websites went with which passwords.
This will just be a list of passwords so at least you have a master list somewhere and not stored on your computer(s)/drive(s). Just an idea I wanted to share.

ITunes asking for Password over and over, wont open, won't quit

Hi All... My MAC is Driving me mad, please help!!!!
I'm pretty sure this is a Cookie problem from some of the other threads I've found and because it started shortly after insaling "Safari Cookie" - which I have now removed.
Senario is;
If I dare to open iTunes 10.6 (latest one) it will open ok then ask for my Apple ID and PW which I enter again and again and again... sometime with a Remember box (which I tick) and sometimes not.
I have persisted with this wondering whether it will have an end when maybe all of my DL songs are individualy recognised perhaps, but after pasting it in well over 100 times I gave up. I've also tried Cancelling the request but it just keeps asking me over and over untill it crashes.
On one thread I saw that it could be because the something in the way iTune Store's PW are formated/storeage/processed has changed and I should go to to the iTunes store and reset my PW, but if I attempt to open the iTunes Store iTunes crashes - evertime so I can't do it. I did manage to reset it by clicking Forgot PW but after changing it no it made diference.
Inscidentally, when it does crash, it reopens whether I click "reopen" or not. If I quit, it reopens, if I fource close, it reopens. To reboot I have to Restart, Force Close, Force Close Force Close untill the Restart App gets to close when Itunes is in it's DownTime of the loop.
Just thought of something odd too.... after doing the PW change online, I tried entering the new one (over and over for a while) and then looked at the keychain and it still contained the old PW.
I've tried reinsalling iTunes, deleting all cookies and the Keychain PW (not the certificate as I'm worried I'll loose my perchased stuff?). Changing PW in Apple.com, changing Cookie settings in Safari to "accept all", used Onyx to repair boot and done all the automated maintainance/cleaning/permissions.
I can't think of any other useful info... but ask anything you need to know and please help if think you can!!
Thanks
James

ITunes asking for password to old Apple ID

I had to delete my e mail address as it was hacked. Because of this, I needed to change my Apple ID information. I set up a new Apple ID and deleted my old one, however when I am trying to update any apps, iTunes askes for the password to my old ID and yet I've changed iCloud and everything. I can't change my e mail back as it's deleted. It's quite frustrating as I need apps for school work but cannt use them until I have updated them. Help would be REALLY appreciated!! P.S Please keep it simple! Thanks!

Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Have you tried providing the password for your old ID to update the apps?

Bt/yahoo and apple ME, both wont send emails but can receive. Started with constantly asking for password but when entered never able to send.

I am using OS X 10.7.5 I ahve BT Infinity and use there email along with ME
Although I can receive emails I cant send any. I am asked for a password but it makes no difference. smtp list states all (bt & me) off line. Contacted bt who are no help!

Please help otherwise I will have to go back to BT and pay to fix there problem!

Itunes Ask for Password

I have previously downloaded apps on my iPod and deleted them because I've given my sister my iPod. How do I make the App Store ask for my password when she downloads apps? This is because previously installed apps don't ask for your password, they just say install. Any help would be appreciated.

No I mean like, I want her to download apps, but she has to come to me to enter a password. But say, like Facebook, I had that previously installed. I deleted it off her iPod, but if she wants to download it she can go to the app store and just click Install, it won't ask for my password because I installed it before. How do I stop that.

HT2731 when i restore my ipod itunes asked for password but i forgot it how to know my password or get back it.

help me

Only you will know your backup password, it's not stored anywhere and nobody else can tell you what it is. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946 (which applies iPod Touches as well) :
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

Why is Acrobat X Pro (CS6, Windows 7) asking for Flash Player when trying to play a video?

I created an interactive PDF from InDesign that includes f4v and mp4 videos. When I click on them to activate I get this message: "To view the Flash® technology content in this PDF file, please install the required version of Flash Player." I checked the version of Flash player on both of my computers and they both have the latest. And, they both worked when tested.
So, what the heck's going on here?

Well, it sounds like Flash Player is installed and running, though I think you might have transposed a couple numbers (it should be 10,3,183,7). Are you having problems with any other FB games? Have you posted on the game's forums to see if any other user has encountered issues recently?

The new iTunes update mutes the volume when movies are played in full screen. Help?

Yep. After installing 11.1.3, the audio of a movie in iTunes when you switch to full screen plays for a fraction of a second and then goes off. I can play other things in the background (Pandora, ANYTHING with volume) and the volume for those is fine. Full screen iTunes, however, is muted. Furthermore, when I switch from full screen to regular, the audio picks up where it was BEFORE full screen mode and is out of sync until I quit out of the movie and reopen it.
Is this a new 'feature' setting or has the update given us some fun errors and bugs free of charge?

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

How do i get rid of fuzzy green screen when videos are playing?

I get random fuzzy green screen appearing on macbook pro whenever I watch videos online. How do I get rid of it? I didn't have this problem before and I didn't do anything new to computer nor did I drop it.

On the TV or iMac display and is Mirroring On or Off?
First check all of your cables, connectors and connections.
If it's a really strong green hue, then there is probably something wrong with the cabling or a connection.
If it is only slightly off hue, then go to: System Preferences > Displays > select the Color tab for whichever and try selecting a different Display Profile or setting a new Profile by selecting the Calibrate.... button.
