  • My iphone keeps going in circles asking for my password when I try to update apps, help!

    My iphone 4 (not sure if its a 4 or 4S) stopped letting me update my apps after an ios update a few months ago. When I go to the 'updates' section in the app store, I have several apps that need to be updated. Whether I click 'update all' or try to update each app individually, it asks for my password. I input my password, but the updates do not start. If I click 'update' or 'update all' again, it again asks for my password, and just keeps going in the circle without ever actually starting the updates. This is happening on my ipad as well. I know an option is to delete my apps and reinstall, but I don't want to do that and really feel there must be a way to go back to being able to update. I've tried turning my phone off and on and reseting, but now with two ios updates later, I'm still not able to update any of my apps. Help!

    Were these apps acquired with the same Apple ID?
    Authorization for the update requires the password for the Apple ID used to acquire the content.
    Does the same issue occur if attempting to update the apps via iTunes on the computer?

  • After installing Mt. Lion, Mail no longer asks for a password, even though I set preference for using a password.

    After installing Mt. Lion 10.8.2, Mail no longer asks for a password before opening messages, even though I tried to set preferences for using the password. Help!

    In Mail Preferences, Accounts item: I tried to delete the password (but that did not save). I got this idea from some Mail Help item that I cannot seem to find again. I cannot recall how I did it in Snow Leopard, but I had it set to ask for a password that was used solely for Mail. It would not download anything until I entered that password. Note: I am not on a network; just the single user of the MacPro. Thank you for any guidance you might be able to offer.

  • The AppStore asks for my password before 15 min iOS 6

    The AppStore keeps asking for my password even when I'm updating apps one by one

    Carolyn,
    You wrote: Open System Preferences and move this app: Google MACFuse or any other third party apps. Restart your Mac.
    You say "MOVE" this app: Google MACFuse or any other...
    Did you mean REMOVE or MOVE? If MOVE, how do I do that? If REMOVE I think I just right click the preference and then choose remove.
    Any other third part apps?- What might the ones be that are causing this - I generally have quite a few other third party aps from TextExpander.
    Thanks for any additional comments here before I try to do what you've suggested.
    Best regards,

  • I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data.. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password.  how can i resolve this without giving him my password

    I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data before shipping to him.   however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password.  how can i resolve this without giving him my password?  will a hard reset take care of this?

    Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
    The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account.

  • How do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    how do i get itunes to stop asking for my password repeatedly?

    The solution (for me at least) is to keep trying the same password  that I know is correct.  For me, the fourth try of typing in the exact same password works in iTunes on my iMac.  I have repeated this several times, and each time it works.
    I also reset my password, but the same problem occurs in iTunes.  I have to type in my password four times in iTunes to get it to work. 
    iTunes is having issues.  I can log in easily on the first attempt every time to post on this message board and I can sign in easily on my iPad 2 to get app updates, but in iTunes on my iMac it takes four attempts and then it works. 
    Apple needs to release a statement to the public telling people abut this.  For Apple to know that this iTunes problem exists and that it is causing literally thousands of people to be stressed out is callous and uncaring.

  • IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

    My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
    On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
    Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
    I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
    I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.

    I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
    To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
    If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
    And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
    But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

  • My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts.  New iMac with OSX Maverick

    My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts.  New iMac with OS x Maverick.  We get messages such as " Mail can't connect.  Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out."  I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.

    Hi Bob13524,
    Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:

  • My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

    My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
    It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
    Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

  • I can no longer get on iTunes because it asks for a password that shows someone else's name

    please help..,i have a MAC, IPAD and IPHONE.
    i have no trouble with MAC or IPAD.  But when i try to access itunes or app store on my iphone i get Heidi @yahoo.com and asks for her password..i know noone by that name and cant explain how it got there.
    its causing me problems with Updates
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You probably have at some time been given an app that was purchased through that Apple ID. If so, you will have to find and delete that app from your iPhone. Also, go here:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    and confirm that you are signed into your own Apple ID. Even if you are, you may want to sign out and back in.
    Regards.

  • What can I do if my computer asks for a password before booting and I don't know it?

    I have a toshoba satellite that is my sons.  I recently replaced the hard drive and now it is asking me for a password upon startup.. There is a black screen with a blue box asking for a password.  I have seen videos on how to remove but none of them apply to my model.  Any help would be aprpreciated.
    Model-L755-S5306

    If it's a power-on password set in the BIOS of the laptop, there's no way to remove it without professional servicing. If it's a hard drive password, the hard drive would need to be replaced. I'm sorry.

  • Itunes no longer asks for password on new purchases since updating to iOS 6

    Since updating iOS to version 6, and updating my Mac to 10.8.2 I am no longer asked to input my password on new purchases and can't see anywhere to re-enable that, it used to be set to request after 15 minutes of inactivity. If this has been taken away Apple need to re-instate it and fast, my kids have iPads and I don't want them to be able to download content without my authorisation, I used to control this by entering my password.

    Try changing Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password to 'immediately'

  • ITunes no longer asks for password on purchases

    Since upgrading to iTunes 11, it has stopped asking to confirm Apple ID credentials when making purchases.  This was a handy parental feature, so us as parents, could "authorize" our kids downloads/purchases.
    How can I restore this essential feature/option?
