HT204266 App store say's I need to answer three security questions but keeps asking for my password! Won't log in to fill in info keeps asking for password even though I fill in password.

After setting up new account with iCloud so I can use the app store it asks me to answer three security questions for further security then I am prompted for my password to log in then I put in password and it never logs me in and keeps on asking for my password. I went over all setting but found no problems wit network as I can go on line etc, if anyone has had this issues please help. I was able to download too apps and then was prompted to answer these questions and it would not let me proceed.

Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
      Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
      like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
      tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
      "done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
      Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
      should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
      security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
      selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
      should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
      questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends!

Mail keeps asking for password even though I checked "add password to ..."

keychain"
This started happen a few days ago. Every few minutes when it checks my main mail account, the password box pops up. I searched on here, saw recommendation for running Keychain FirstAid. Ran it and it gave me this error message:
"Repair started
Checking keychain configuration for user (user ID=501)
Home directory is /Users/user
Checked login keychain
User differs on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, should be 501, owner is 0

Checked default keychain
Checked keychain search list
Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
Checked contents of /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
Warning: some problems were not fixed

How do I fix this problem? l have several mailboxes for different accounts and I have seen this happen occassionally with them as well.

Of course you only had read access to that file. That’s precisely what I said and why I suggested to do File > Get Info (⌘I) on com.apple.security.plist, to fix that problem by changing the Owner in the Ownership & Permissions > Details section, which was wrong and the cause of the problem...
Anyway, the file should be re-created when needed, so I wouldn’t worry about that. Actually, opening Keychain Access and running Keychain First Aid again may cause the file to be re-created.
The thing is, do you still have the problem of Mail repeatedly asking for the password? If Keychain First Aid doesn’t report any problems now, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.

Running adobe captivate keeps asking for flash even though its already installed

iTunes will ask you to enter your password when buying songs for each browsing "session". This wouldn't explain why you are being asked to enter it every 3 minutes though.
I would suggest logging out of your Apple ID on iTunes and logging back in. Also, you may verify that your computer is "Authorized" for use with your iTunes content.
To do this on a Mac, go to the "Store" tab at the top of the screen and click "Authorize this Computer"

Apps won't download, keeps asking for password even after I enter it.

When I go to download any app, it asks for my password, I enter my password, it thinks for a second, then asks for my password again. It does this continuously and no apps will download. Please help. So far I have tried to sign out of my Apple ID then restart the phone and sign back in. I have tried going to Settings > Wifi then hitting the info button and hitting Renew Lease. I also made sure my Data & Time settings were set to automatic. These were all of the suggestions I have seen, need some more!

Yes, it shows it, and it is correct. I even tried typing in an incorrect password, and it says that password is incorrect when I am typing my password wrong.

Yahoo mail is not working on my phone..it keeps asking for password even after entering its d same

Please help me resolve the above stated problem

Hi Aurion23,
If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

I should note that my problem was on Mac.

Trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?, trying to buy, download a song and keeps asking for password over and over, even after entering correctly. Why?

Trying to buy, download songs on iTunes and keeps asking for password for the account. Entering the password correctly but it keeps asking for password. Have downloaded hundreds of songs before, first time this has happend. Why?
Thanks.

Hi, Trex8.
There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue. First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes. You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates. If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below.

Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

Mail keeps asking for password - new bug???

Mail has just started asking for my password - every time I start up and click GET MAIL! This is a bug I think cause I go in and check it is a POP setting, I check I have my password typed in. And funnily it keeps deleting my password even though I type it and click save when exiting Preferences.
I click Remember Password in key chain but when I start Mail again it is not there!!!
This is really annoying. Just started - interestingly I updated last night my software update?

I Launched Mail Under the Help Menu I typed Keychain This is from Mail's Help Documentation:
If Mail keeps asking for your keychain password, your keychain may be set to lock
after a certain period of time, or when your computer goes to sleep.
To change the keychain lock settings:
Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities.
In the sidebar, click All Items in the Category section,
and then select your login keychain.
Choose Edit > “Change Settings for Keychain ‘login’.”
To reduce the number of requests for your keychain password,
deselect the "Lock after [number] minutes of inactivity" checkbox,
or increase the number of minutes. You can also deselect the
“Lock when sleeping” checkbox.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out of the account from your iOS device first, then sign back using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
