"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.

How do I fix a ipad that is "disabled"? When we connect to itunes it requests a password that must be typed into the ipad - which we can't do because it is locked.
If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode

iOS- Understanding passcodes
A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
2. Connect your device to your computer.
3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
4. Select the Summary tab.
5. Select the Restore option.
6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
necessary to create another.
7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
logo while starting up:
After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
you see "iPhone is activated."
9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
Placing your device into recovery mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. 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.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information. -
I am using iphone 4 and just updated the software on my mac but wanted to restore my calender/contacts/messages after backup. itunes is requesting for a password to restore backup but it is not accepting any of my iphone passwords. what password does it require? If i cannot remember this then how do i continue backup without the password request?
If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can require encrypted backups. Try using your Exchange password.

Password request keeps popping up in itunes
I know this question has been asked before, but how do you stop the password request for your Apple ID from popping up continuously in iTunes, even after you entered it?
Chances are that you have slightly different 'Artist' labels for those songs.
This could be as simple as 'The Rolling Stones' vs. 'Rolling Stones' or more difficult to spot due to leading or trailing blanks, such as:
' Rolling Stones' or 'Rolling Stones '.
You'll have to figure out your own specific situation. -
Random requests for iTunes password
My iPhone 3G has suddenly started asking for my iTunes password at random. I have the latest version of the OS installed and am not aware that I have changed any settings. I have cancelled these requests in the off chance they are the result of some sort of virus (yes, I know iPhones never get viruses, but...)
Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, do you know what is causing it.Hi, i had the same problem after with my iphone 2g after i updated it. What worked for me was just going to settings>store and signing out of my account and then back in again. Haven't had the problem since but don't know if this will work for anyone else or if i was just lucky!

Slow iTunes Store and Password request
Is there something wrong with the iTunes Store at the moment. One minute it loads when I click links then it stops loading and stalls at "Accessing iTunes Store ... ". Then it requests my password.
If I try access my account from within iTunes it requests my password but then the account does not load. If I click on it a second time it does load.
I have tried deauthorising and reauthorising. I have also tried Resetting Warnings in my account in the iTunes store.
What's up?I'm having the same issue it tries to connect to the iTunes store and just sits there forever. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Trying to figure out if it is just me.

How can I get the iCloud/iTunes password for my (now) deceased Father-in-Law's iMac? I have a list of his passwords, but nothing works! I know his email, but that account has been cancelled for security purposes, so we can't just request a new one. I tried his security questions to no avail.
ThanksSince that password is tied to his Apple ID, you will need to contact Apple; as far as I know, it will be a somewhat lengthy procedure and you will need to furnish necessary paperwork (including a death certificate as far as I know). Best to either stop at an Apple store or call them to find out exactly what it is you need to do.

How can I disable nagging "Apple-ID" password requests?
Hello,
In order to describe the problem I'm experiencing, I need to say some things in advance. I'm trying to install the same software on each of our 10 iPads. To do so, I install all necessary apps on one selected iPad (from here on "iPad No. 1") and do all in-app-purchases I want to do. On this particular iPad, everything will work fine, but not on the other ones.
Afterwards, I create a backup of iPad No. 1 within iTunes using the Option "Save" (all captions are translated from German and might not match exactly with English captions). Then, all iPads are connected to my computer, one after another. All of them have the same name and are fed with the data from iPad No. 1 using the iTunes option "revert to backup...".
Then, all iPads are supplied with a profile using the "iPhone Configuration Utility". The profile contains wifi access data among settings for password requests as well as permissions to use the iTunes Store and to do in-app-purchases. The last three options must be unrelated to my problem, though, because I tried all possible combinations of those three options (brute force) and changing the configuration to any of those settings did not solve my problem, which I will come to describe in a second.
Until I did some in-app-purchases, the above procedure worked just fine and I wasn't bothered with any password requests. But now, all of my iPads have the following problems - except for iPad No. 1:
The in-app-purchases are registered on all iPads, i.e. I'm not asked to pay again for what I already paid for. Yet, the additional data and program functionality I bought in iPad No. 1 and downloaded on iPad No. 1 is unavailable on all other iPads and needs to be downloaded manually by the push of a button. Note: I do not need to enter any password in order to download the in-app-purchases I already made. But 12 In-App-purchases on 10 iPads makes 120 manual actions for each time I need to reset the devices to the backup I created. That alone makes this procedure a real hassle, and things are getting worse:
All devices except for iPad No. 1 will ask for "password for Apple-ID" regularly, e.g. when the device is switched on after the backup. Since the devices are to be used in an educational environment and were selected as the devices of choice for the mere reason that they are very easy to use without any knowledge of computer equipment, this makes the whole thing completely unusable.
The password requests will stop once I manually downloaded the in-app-purchases.
In other topics, I read that this "password request problem" can be caused by incompletely downloaded software. People have advised others who had this problem to "synchronize" and "submit purchases" within iTunes. But doing those after "revert to backup" didn't help, as expected.
It is correct, though, that the problem seems to be related to incompletely downloaded software. Yet I don't know what I could do to transfer the in-app-purchases from iPad No. 1 to the other devices. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just a partial solution to what I described.
Best regards,
JörgIf your two IDs have duplicate contacts, simply turn contact syncing off in one of them. You can do this on your Mac at system preferences > iCloud or on a mobile device at settings> iCloud.

I keep getting the following error messages on my Mac when I try to redeem a song code: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection could not be established. There was an error in the iTunes store, please try again later." and then, "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-50)."
Hello, constance132.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are some troubleshooting steps that I could recommend when receiving error -50.
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.

Over the past year, when using iTunes Radio on my iMac, I keep getting the following message: "We could not complete you iTunes Store request. You are not authorized to access the requested resource. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later." This only happens on my Mac, not on my iPad.
I looked at the Apple Support Communities and the most common workaround is to click on Store/Authorize this Computer. After entering my Apple ID password, the response is "This computer is already authorized." Well, duh. But at least the iTunes Radio starts to work for awhile.
There are other workarounds, but none is easier than the one I just mentioned. But my question is, when will Apple fix this problem? It's just annoying.
ClayHello there, TaylorGraphics.
Some users have seen resolution to this issue by logging out of the iTunes Store and then back in. The following Knowledge Base article provides a reference on how to do that:
Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store, Mac App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2589
Use your Apple ID with the iTunes Store
Open the latest version of iTunes.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password and click Sign In.
Click Review when asked to review your information.
Enter your billing information.
Click Continue after you enter your credit card and billing information. You can remove or edit your credit card information at any time. Learn more about updating your iTunes Store account information.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Iphone asking for itunes password constantly
A month ago something changed and I now get frequent reminders asking for my itunes password - probably about 20-30 times a day. The requests always come in sets of two in a row. How do i turn off this very annoyed undocumented feature?
No guarantees here, but launch itunes, make sure you're signed in and the account name & password match what's on your phone. Connect your phone & sync. This may fix the problem as your account info is passed by itunes when you sync.

My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?
Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer?
