ITunes now requires password everytime I startup. Help!!

I think it might be since 7.2 was released. Everytime I start iTunes, the userid/password thing pops up for the store. Why does it do this and how do I get rid of it? I've dug through preference menus and my account and can't find anything.

I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

ITunes 9 requires password verification for all store purchases!!

Can someone please help me figure out why it is that iTunes is now requiring that I enter my iTunes password seemingly every day for any new purchases I make, even though I've checked the checkbox to "remember password".
I can't be sure but this behavior either started happening when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, or when I upgraded iTunes to version 9.
I know this must have been addressed on these forums somewhere, but I wasn't able to come up with any thing meaningful when I did some searching for the answer.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

I just tried deleting the local copy on my original library - that just left me with 2 cloud copies.
Then I tried deleting 1 of the cloud copies - that worked initially but shortly afterwards they have now reappeared.
what the heck's going on....

My iPad he'd to get recovered now music and movies are gone help please

You can either resync the lost material to your iPad via iTunes or you can restore the device from backup, assuming you have been backing up the device.

I have forgotten my itunes back up password please can you help

i have up graded to the new iphone 4 s and i have set it up but i have forgotten my old back up password for itunes can you please help me find my password.

Sorry, but there's no way to recover a password to an encrypted backup. If you've forgotten the password, then that backup is no longer usable.

Shut Down Mac, and Now Requires Password?

My Mac hadn't been shut down in a couple weeks (it was running just fine so I kind of forgot to shut it down and give it a brief reprieve). When I did shut it down by hitting the button- because it froze on me and I couldn't do it any other way- it shut down normally. Now, however, it appears that my password settings are reset and it requires a password every time I log in.
I know how to change the settings back, and I know my password. But, I'm wondering why my Mac would suddenly switch to requiring a password without me initiating the change?
Thoughts would be appreciated!

Well lets clean you out first.
Download and run ALL of the free OnyX initial checks, cleaning and maintainence aspects and reboot at the end (you can cancel the in between reboots)
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11582/onyx
Scroll down of your OS X version is earlier. Please mention your OS X version, your Mac's model and if OnyX gives any warnings on the initial checks, it's important.
If you get a warning, please quit OnyX and backup your files off the computer as soon as possible and disconnect this drive.
You may have to hold c and boot off the 10.5 or 10.6 disks and run Disk Utility, or hold command r boot and run Disk Utility from the Lion Recovery Partition on the drive/OS X partition and Repair Disk, Repair Permisisons.
If Repair Disk gives any errors, please state so. Repair Permissions always gives a long list, it's ok.
After this is done, also run OnyX > Verify >Preferences and copy down any corrupt plist (preference) files.
Mention those here and I'll tell you where to find them to remove them.
Once all your problems are cleared, there is a System Preferneces > Accounts > Log in items where you can change things, see if you can change your desktop, screensaver etc, it these setting don't remain upon reboot, that's a sign of a corrupt system preferences plist file.

Cannot open itunes now I've downloaded the update - help please

I launched my itunes and had a message asking did I want to install the updated version. When it finished installing it said it needed to shutdown and restart - which I did. When I tried to reopen itunes from the shortcut it said it cannot open it coz some files are missing. Can anyone help please. I have contacted apple and although i've had my phone for over 90 days they have emailed me steps on how to uninstalled and reinstall safely. However, once I got the email, the first thing it tells me to do is to launch itunes which I can't do. can anyone help please? Many thanks.

Hi,
Try the following
First of all, see if you can uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If this completes, restart the PC.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
After the installation, restart the PC again.

Why isn't my iphone 3gs activating? i just updated it on itunes now it's not working. HELP!

i bought my iphone 2nd hand off trade me (similar to ebay). i now have a sneaking suspision that it was bought overseas and now it has locked?
it has come up with cannot read sim card, and cannot be acctivated.
WHAT DO I DO. PLEASE HELP

You don't. Hacked/Jailbroken phones can not be discussed here at all.
You can try putting it in DFU mode and restoring it, but odds are, the baseband was altered by the hack/jailbreak, which means the damage is permanent.

HTC ONE randomly shut down now requires password to decrypt storage..

I have had my ONE for a couple of months and had MULTIPLE issues but this one takes the cake! I was in Wal-Mart and the phone randomly shut down with a full battery. It would never reboot on it's own so I had to push power down and volume down to get reboot screen. When it finally restarted, it came up with a screen that says "Type password to decrypt storage" or "place an emergency call". I never set a password so am unclear on what to do from here. Tried to factory reset but it doesn't work. Any advice??

That's pretty strange, dstenz50. It takes a few steps to encrypt a phone http://bit.ly/1kdQYgh and I haven't come across it doing the process on it's own. Has anyone had access to your phone? Did you previously set up a PIN or password to your device? What's the exact message you're seeing?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
Any help would be appreciated

Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.

Itunes asking password everytime for sync

Hi, I own a 2nd generation ipod touch. whenever i start itunes and want to sync my ipod, it asks for me to activate the computer im using. So i have to enter my itunes account and password. Once that is done itunes tells me: this computer has ALREADY been activated. it annoys me, that i have to type in my password everytime i want to sync my ipod. My brother doesnt have to do that. If i dont activate my computer, all my applications get deleted. I already tried reinstalling itunes. Is there anything i can do.
Thnx

- Did you look at iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV (icon), is "Look for Apple TV" checked? Also on the same dialog box you should see apple TV listed.
- I had something similar also. "Apple TV" disappeared from my iTunes device all the time (so i could not change sync settings), it started to happen when I turned the wireless security ON (even when ATV could see my iTunes library). I finally found the problem. This was the solution, maybe it could help you also?
1) Go to iTunes preference and go to Apple TV as described above. Remove Apple TV if it is listed.
2) Go to your Applet TV, select "Sources" from the Main menu. Select Resync off and on. Now you we will see the security number that should be entered on iTunes.
3) On your iTune enter the security number.
4) Now the "Apple TV" device should be back in iTunes and watch out it will resync everything, it takes a while, also check your sync settings, because the originals will be lost, as what type of movies, photo library you want).
