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.

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?

Every time I launch itunes it always asks for password

Every time I launch iTunes it always asks for password. I have no pending downloads or app updates. Nothing. There is no downloads plist to delete, no preferences to set - Fed up wth this. Been searching for answer for months. iTunes Store help just gives the runaround.

Good idea, thanks, but no, that didn't solve it. Any other thoughts?

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

I should note that my problem was on Mac.

ITunes store always asks for password

Every time I download anything from the iTunes Store (usually about once per week to update iPhone apps) it asks me for my password even though I mark the checkbox to remember my password for future downloads.
Is there a way to fix this? I have tried deleting the item from the keychain and even creating an entire new keychain.
Thank you.

Andy, same here, for the moment.
These steps (maybe pedantic, but it's what I did):
1) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Sign Out... (logging out of iTunes store).
2) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Deauthorize Computer... (deauthorizing your iTunes account - be sure to type username and password properly).
3) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Authorize Computer... (reauthorizing your iTunes account - be sure to type username and password properly).
4) Under the Store menu in iTunes, select Sign In... (logging back into the iTunes store - be sure to type username and password properly).
Since I've done this, I have not been asked for my password, a little less than 24 hours, but no new shows. So Monday morning will be my big test.

Second replacement unit automatically shuts down and never opened again. can i asked for a brand new replacement since it'll be my third replacement?

Last September 13, 2011 I purchased an Iphone 4. I was told that it's warranty is good for 1 year. On may 13 2012, the sleep/wake button of my iphone malfunctioned. I immediately brought it to store where i bought the unit. They sent it to Singapore for service. 10 days after, on May 23, 2012, I received a text message from them telling me that my "replacement unit is available for pick up". Meaning that my old unit was replaced. When the customer representative and I checked the replacement unit issued to me, we saw deep scratches in front and back of the unit. I returned the unit to them because of the deep scratches. They told me that they'll return it to Singapore and will make a new report. Comes June 12, 2012 when i received a message again from them saying that my replacement unit is again available for pick up. the customer service representative and I checked the unit again for scratches. Finally the unit is clean. On June 23, 2012, the replacement unit issued to me automatically shuts down for 8 times. i quickly brought it to the store. Even their security saw the problem of my iphone (because he helped me troubleshoot it first). on the last time we tried opening it, it hanged and didn't continue to open. So for the third time, the unit is again subject for check up to see if it is under warranty. my concern is, apple is very vocal about their warranty which is "replacement".. Is there anything I can do to ask for a good unit from apple since this matter is a big inconvenience for me where in i have to provide myself another phone where i can use my number. and the worry that i might get another bad replacement unit.

Of course you can ask... asking is always an option. Regardless, it is always up to Apple as to whether the device is replaced with service units or new.

HT201269 Itunes Encrypted Backup Asking for Password That Doesn't Exist - Can't Set Up New Iphone

My iphone 4s has a broken wifi transmitter so it has never been backed up to iCloud. I backed it up on Itunes before setting up my new 5s. When I selected Restore from Itunes on the 5s, I got an "enter password" message on iTunes and saw that the backup of the 4s had been encrypted, even though encryption had not been checked. I looked in Keychain for the password but it wasn't there. Now I have no way to transfer the data from my old phone to my new one. I suspect this is a bug with Mavericks as I just upgraded. I had never used backup encryption before. Any ideas?

If you're still having this problem, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
Note: this will only work if your current ID was created by changing the details of your old ID. It won't work if your current ID is an entirely new ID.

Just upgraded to TB 31.4.0 and it is no longer asking for password, will not download new mail but does connect to POP server. I can send (it asks for p-word)

Failure to download or allow sign in started with current upgrade.
Despite inability to sign in, I have access to all settings and address book.
I've "repaired" the inbox folder and checked the firewall settings. Connection to POP server is fast. Downloads for the last week or so (prior to upgrade) have been VERY slow...
Likely the solution is "simple", but I'm very much NOT a "software tech" kinda guy.... If you can help, please use small words ; )

Itunes 11 repeatedly asking for password

This seems not to matter if I'm even using iTunes or not. If the program isn't forcibly quit (it almost never is, since the family uses the AppleTV all day), the password entry window will pop up on the iMac over and over again. I just had it happen 7 times in 5 minutes and I'm about to lose it. Any help greatly appreciated.

one more time.

Facebook app asks for password more often that before update

This is only happened a few times, but before I updated the Facebook app, it never asked me for my FB password, unless I logged off. Anyone else notice this?
Thanks.

Try downloading a compatible version:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

HT1911 ask for password before downloading

Just Downloaded IOS6. Notice that iTunes now doesnt ask for password when I download new apps or update existing apps. Is there anyway I could turn on the password again so that I will have to key in my password before downloading paid apps?

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

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.
