Itunes popup on mac requesting for my password, how to turn it off?

When I click the play button on my mac to listen to music it doesn't turn on because itunes keeps requesting for my password for automatic downloads. How do I stop this? It just started after I got my iphone.

@ Ivmedic... Disabling automatic downloads does not resolve this issue. I am having the same issue. I open iTunes and get prompted for my log in info for automatic downloads, if you log in the issue returns the next time you open iTunes same as if you hit cancel. Also you actually have to go through this 2 times when opening iTunes before it stops... Certainly a bug in the 10.5.1 (42) build.
Does anyone know a way of disabling it in the terminal ?

If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can require encrypted backups. Try using your Exchange password.

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

My daughter let a friend use her ipod shuffle. Now we can't find her so we can't get into her itunes. Restore still asks for her password. We just want a clean install. Is that possible?

Are you sure you have an iPod Shuffle and not an iPod Touch?

I am trying to download audible books to my itunes, it keeps asking me for a password which I have changed and confirmed ??
is there a seperate password for downloading audible books to itunes, so I can download onto my ipod??

I assume you mean the phone is asking for the 4 digit password you set at the time of the backup of the phone...

Probably.
something has to be set up wrong on my iphone, cant figure it out
You need to use the AppleID & Password you used to set up the iPhone.

I have a question. For the past week I have not been able to access my iTunes app it always kicks me out. I've turned it off and on and still nothing. I was wondering how can I get it to work or what should I do. Thank you

You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I open iTunes it will automatically go to full screen mode. I can't work out how to turn this off. Only iTunes opens to full screen mode.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "General". Click "Always close windows when quitting an application".
That should fix it.

I've been sent a scan of a document as an attachment. Clicking on it, I get the message, "Pixel aspect ration correction is for preview purposes only. Turn it off for maximum image quality." What is pixel aspect ration and how do I turn it off?

It's "aspect ratio", not aspect "ration".
It's what determines whether you have square pixels ("normal") or, if rectangular pixels, what the aspect ratio (width : length) of that rectangle is.
It's explained in the Help files. I cannot go into more detail because you have neglected to provide information about your platform and exact version of Photoshop.
