"iTunes Password" box keeps opening up at random on iPhone.

*For the past five days* my friend who is running *iPhone OS 3.0* on his *iPhone 3G* has had the 'iTunes Password' request box *popping up frequently and always at random*. *He has not prompted the box by opening up the App Store or iTunes*. He has tried turning on and off to no avail. It is not a jailbroken phone. Any help here will be gratefully received, the box popping up all the time is getting a bit tiresome.

Well here's another user with the same problems. There is no fix to this bug. This is all caused by file sharing issues which I've heard on good authority Apple are desperately trying to sort out. Sad however they haven't posted this out to the general public which would negate the needless hours spent by faithful users of the product in wasted time. Come on Apple - you can do better than this afterall this is your main source of income now.

  • Registration box keeps opening when starting Photoshop

    I installed Photoshop on my laptop running Windows 7.  Each time I start Photoshop, a box opens up and asks me if I want to register the product.  I went ahead and filled in the boxes and registered, however, the same registration box keeps opening each time Photoshop starts running.  How do I stop this annoying box from opening again?

    Let me guess, it's an older version of Photoshop, right?
    You'll most likely get past it by doing the following:
    Disable UAC, reboot Windows, run Photoshop from an Administrator account, then re-enable UAC and reboot again.
    Some say just running Photoshop as Administrator will take care of the problem, but there are subtle differences between running an app As Administrator and running with UAC disabled.
    Microsoft doesn't advertise it much, but the reason UAC can be disabled is that there are compatibility issues with older software than are worked around by doing so.  If you choose to leave UAC disabled, you should read up on what UAC does for you and make sure you understand what additional precautions you should be taking to keep malware at bay.

  • ITunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS

    Why does iTunes 10.5 keep downloading IOS 5 onto my iPhone 4GS, when it already has IOS 5 as a default on the phone?
    I clicked "Check for Update" and it says that my iPhone IOS is update to date. However, when I try to do a restore, iTunes will contact the iPhone server and download IOS 5.
    What gives? Is there a way to do a restore on my iPhone without having to download IOS 5?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Restore has always worked that way, even in versions before iOS 5. It never keeps the OS file (it's a pretty big file because it's an operating system, so why would you want that to stay on your computer and take up space?) so it always has to download it again, whenever you want to restore your iPod.
    Nothing to worry about.

  • ITunes Password Input keeps popping up

    I keep seeing a pop-up asking me for my iTunes password.
    Anybody else have this problem or know why this would happen?

    Thanks @Phillpkd for your post, but this is not the fix for everyone.
    When I first got my iPad I never had this problem, until I contacted Apple support about my iTunes account. I told Apple that my iTunes on my new system did not down load all my purchased music from the iTunes store. Apples reply was that I needed to backup my file from my old system and import it to the new system.
    I told them that could not be done the old system is no longer around. Besides I thought that all my purchased music would download to the new system once I authorized it. Apple saide "No, it will not" what Apple did was they reset my downloads so that they would download again. However they did tell me that I may not get all my downloads "purchased" music, anything they no longer carie that I purchased will not download.
    So Apple reset my account and everything downloade. After the reset is when the problem started. I know that not everyone has had iTunes reset like I did. I think it is a problem with the iTunes verification and authorization for the iPad.
    The iPad is performing random checks on the iTunes store for updates to apps and it is being challenged every time. This is my theory for all of us that are not seeing the same thing that Phillpkd is.

  • Password box keeps popping up-New IPAD

    Just got my new IPAD. Restored via Cloud backup. I keep getting a password box while I use the IPAD with some weird login name in the top part of it. I have to hit cancel. I have no idea how this was caused or how to fix it. Appreciate any help. This is driving me crazy. When I go to Itunes store I see a list of songs it shows purchased but that is not me. It seems to be somebody elses login. My IPAD was registered to me in all my settings so I could download my programs and such.

    Well I get a voicemail password popup when I'm just trying to look at contacts. But I also get the iTunes password window come up when I tried to buy a song. It worked ok originally, but now when I enter my password, the window just sits there and the "Ok" button is grayed out. Very frustrating..not sure what's happening.
    Thanks

  • I uninstalled FF4 because it's buggy. Some kind of dumb dialog box keeps opening, and there's much that isn't compatable with new version.

    I want to go back to firefox 3,6. I uninstalled FF 4 because it's buggy. I don't like it. There's a dialog box that keeps opening. That never happened before. It's damned annoying and not necessary.
    There are a number of items that no longer are compatible that once were.

  • ITunes Password Window Keeps Appearing...Why?

    For the past week I have constantly been bombarded with the iTunes Password window. Sometimes it happens when I first turn on my phone...sometimes it happens when I change to a different App... and it frequently is on the screen when I go to press End Call at the end of a conversation. The iTunes Password window is on the screen instead of the call that I am on. I have rebooted the phone a few times, and I have synced my phone recently after the problem appeared. I have not yet done the 3.1.3 software update. How can I keep this from happening. Thanks for the help.

    Try this:
    When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer, the account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device for use in the iTunes Store from the device as well. This same account is used for the App Store as well. This account will be used on the device for both stores until you sign in from your computer to the iTunes Store with a different account, and then resync your mobile device with the computer.
    When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch, the iTunes application on the computer will share its current iTunes Store account ID with the device you are syncing. This account ID will be used to make purchases from the iTunes Store and App Store on the mobile device.
    It is not possible to change the account in use on the device itself or to sync multiple accounts to your mobile device. To change the account you are using on your mobile device, go to your computer and sign in to the iTunes Store with the account you want to use on your mobile device, then sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer again. This will transfer the new account information to the mobile device. To sign in or out of an account in iTunes choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
    So, try syncing your phone using the account you used in itunes & see if this fixes the issue.

  • Password box keeps popping up..but can not close it?

    Hi all,
    So I'm using my brand new iPhone, and at various times, a password input box pops up. The problem is, when I enter what I think the password would be (didn't set one??)..it will not allow me to enter the password. The ok button is greyed out, and stays greyed out. So basically a password box just hangs there.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

  • Why apps keep opened even when turning the iPhone 5 off then on?

    Hi guys, please tell me if this is the current bahviour of iPhone, when turning the device off, with many apps opened in the background, turning it on again, it keeps opened! It's like hibernating your computer, isn't it?
    Thank you

    They don't.
    What makes you think the apps are still open after restarting the phone?
    If you are looking at the app icons at the bottom of the screen when you double-tap the home button, then those are NOT running apps. That is simply a list of recently used apps. Which apps you have recently used does not change when restarting the phone.
    Most apps on the iPhone do not run in the background anyway.

  • ITunes app keeps opening by itself randomly...

    The iTunes app on my MacBook Pro randomly opens and starts playing from my music library no matter what I'm doing on my laptop.  I keep quitting iTunes but it reopens on its own. I've restarted my laptop several times but that hasn't solved the issue. what can I do? (I have the latest iTunes version installed)

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My iTunes keeps opening/popping up randomly and disrupting computer function. I do not even have wireless, so that is not the solution.

    The only answers I have seen to this issue are to "disconnect the wireless," but my computer doesn't even have a wireless adapter (I use ethernet only).  What is the solution to this really annoying issue??

  • "Cannot Open iTunes" Dialog Box continuously opens in alternate profiles

    I just installed iTunes 8.2 (64 Bit Version) on a new HP e9107c-b desktop with Windows Vista-64 (fully patched). I have multiple profiles setup on the computer and ONLY ONE profile ever uses iTunes. However, all other active profiles continously chime and display an error dialog box that says:
    "You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open..."
    Again, I am not trying to launch iTunes in any other profiles; but, this message continues to pop up until I close iTunes in the one profile it is running in.
    This is extremely annoying and appears to affect my computer's performance. I've read all the articles I could find on the topic and they simply say you can only run one instance of iTunes when using profile-switching on a Windows machine - I'm only running one.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks - kc

    We just purchased two PC's with Windows Vista 64 bit - both are HP. We are getting the same error. My wife does not use iTunes, yet this error: "You cannot open the application "iTunes" because another user has it open..." keeps popping up every minute or so, and an alarm sounds. She is not trying to open iTunes and has never used it. My daughter uses iTunes on the same computer and if it is open when my wife logs in or switches to her user account, this annoying issue persists all day long. How do we get it to STOP?
