ITunes Password asked for repeatedly

Every time I open iBook a popup asks for my iTunes password.
It didn't do that in the beginning and it's quite annoying.
Any way to stop it?

I think this is an easy fix, since it doesn't happen to me. Go to Settings, Store, and View Account. I think it saves everything.
However, I think that if your iPad is not used for some amount of time, if you go to iTunes store, you will have to reenter your password. It's security. You don't want someone downloading dozens of songs on your account if you lose your iPad.
If your books are downloaded, you shouldn't have to go to the iTunes store, unless a download wasn't completed or something similar.

    What can I do, iPad disabled/lockout and iTunes keeps asking for password, I cannot restore...iTunes grays out backup and restore but my iPad and iPod shows on Apple etc..???

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • Why does iTunes keep asking for my password when I want to listen to my music on my iPhone?

    When I want to listen to music on my iPhone, iTunes keeps asking for my password.  I am not purchasing anything.  It started today.  Why is that?

    I've been having the same problem on my iPad and iPhone. I talked to Apple customer service this morning. They had me do the following on both devices in the Settings:
    * Sign out of iTunes & App Store
    * Sign out of FaceTime
    * Sign out of Game Center
    * Delete iCloud account
    They also had me restore my iPad due to some glitchy behavior in the Music app.
    Things seemed to me fixed for a few hours until I went into the iTunes Store app on my iPad and added a movie to my Wish List. When I went back to the Music app, the dreaded "Sign In to iTunes Store" popup started showing up again on both devices. Suspicious!
    So, I cleared out my Wish List in both the iTunes Store and App Store. I've been poking at the Music app on both my iPhone and iPad since then I haven't seen that popup once since then. I'm not going to declare victory yet since it's only been an hour or two, but I thought that this was worth mentioning.

    You may need to connect the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restore it via iTunes.  See this article for instructions on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.;

  • For restoring from backup itunes is asking for password

    Hi Experts
    for restoring from backup itunes is asking for password and i didn't give any password when backup was going on not even i checked on encrypt my backup.
    please help me ASAP

    See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3057884
    I too have experienced the "blame everything but Apple products/software" indoctrination of the Apple phone support techs!
    I have a feeling that iTunes automatically switches encryption on and puts as default a previous iTunes store password but as I don't leave mine the same all the time (and don't feel the need to remember historic passwords that I'm not using to secure anything against) I have no clue what it is.
    Good luck trying to get useful advice on here relating to the issue, it will go along the lines of...
    1) Its your fault for setting it and forgetting the password,
    2) We know everything and theres definately no way iTunes would set backups to encrypt without your knowledge and...
    3) Theres no fix for this issue, you might be able to save some of your data, but most will be lost (unless you specifically ask for an iTunes redownload exemption/ token then your purchases could be lost too).
    Welcome to the world of Apple!

  • HT1766 I am trying to restore my new iphone from a previous backup but itunes is asking for the backup password. But I never had one.

    itunes is asking for a password for the backup that I did not set. I can NOT set up my new iphone and restore it from an old backup. What can I do?

    This message is asking for the password that was added when the backup was first created IF you don't have this passcode you will be unable to restore from this backup.
    Good luck Friend.

  • When i open ibook, the iTunes store asks for my password. it goes away when i press cancel or when i put in my password. why is this happening?

    When I open IBook, the ITunes store asks for my password.  It goes away when I press cancel or enter my password.  It seems unnecessary to me.  Why is it doing this?  I already paid for the book. 

    If you are trying to update information for your apple id then go to appleid.apple.com and click on manage your apple ID... you'll probably have to enter your old email address/password
