Keeps prompting for other's Apple ID and passwords

My Music (I think) keeps prompting me to imput other people's Apple IDs and passwords. I recognize the names but don't have their passwords. We had shared music in the past (years ago) but I have never had a problem with being asked to input credentials. I recently moved from Music Match then back to it. The problem started at the second iteration of Music Match.
Is there a way to find and delete songs not purchased with my Apple ID. Maybe even locate music purchased with a specific Apple ID (I have a couple, my wife's etc.).
This phenomenon seems to happen immediatly after I sync with iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

You’ve run into the one problem with the newer Operating Systems (10.7, 8, 9). They are tied to the users Apple ID and password so that no one else can re-download them. The older Operating Systems (10.6, 5) came on a DVD and could be used by anyone. Just pop in the DVD and erase the drive and reinstall.
You can order a 10.6 install disk from Apple and after installing it use the App Store to order 10.7 Lion with your Apple ID and password.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
For 10.7 Lion you can get a redemption code to use in the App Store here. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

I tried to transfer purchases from my iPod to a new computer, but for some of the songs it asks for a different Apple ID and password than mine. Ideas?

You definitely need to resurrect the old password associated with the Apple ID you used to purchase the music.
Go here: https://iforgot.apple.com
An email will be sent to the email address associated with that account with instructions regarding resetting that Apple ID's password.
If you no longer have access to that email, the resolution to this problem becomes considerably more difficult. In that event you would need to contact iTunes Support and explain your dilemma.

Ecause they are on they are on the other person Apple ID and password

I recently purchased an iPhone 3G on eBay I have deleted apps downloaded by the previous owner but can't use or delete the rest as they are locked on the other persons Apple ID and password is there a way of deleting them and downloading apps back I want to use, or alternatively is there a way to change to my ID and password

Hello Pinocio,
Congratulations on your new iPhone! If you are trying to sign into the iTunes and App Store with your Apple ID, you can use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
Additionally, you can set your iPhone up as a new device using the steps in this next article so that it does not have any of the previous owner's information on it:

I keep getting prompted to enter my Apple ID and password numerous times daily on both my iPad and iPhone. This started happening after I installed the latest update. Any suggestions?

Ever since installing the latest update to iOS 7.1.2 I am prompted numerous times daily to enter my Apple ID and password. I am having the same issue on my iPad 2 and my iPhone4. Any suggestions?

First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
If needed, change the email linked to it as well. Get control of that account back.
As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account. Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
or maybe iTunes Support

HELP! I switched out my iPad mini today. Was able to log into my 2 magazine subscriptions, but the problem is when I click on 'restore past issues'. When I do, I'm then prompted to enter my Apple ID and password. Saying pw is wrong, but it's not. Why?

I just got a new iPad mini and when i tried to update my apps, and sign in to the iTunes store, it is asking me for my husbands apple id and password. but the apple ID in Settings is mine, not his.

How can I change the sign in so they ask for my Apple ID, not my husband's. This is a new device.

Hi Marmee14,
If your Apps were purchased with his Apple ID, it will still require his Apple ID to update them. If they were purchased with your Apple ID then it will use yours. Apps are linked to the Apple ID they are purchased with.
If, for some reason his Apple ID is set somewhere in the system, this article gives how to change it.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
For example:
App Store
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, sign in with your current Apple ID.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, tap your previous Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then enter your current Apple ID to sign in.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Firefox keep asking for proxy moz-proxy username and password

Windows 7, latest firefox. When I go to certain websites (like amazon.com), it keeps asking me The proxy moz-proxy:... user name and password. Entered CORRECT username and password and doesn't work. Keep asking again and again until I click cancel. Quite for couple of minutes and then back again. Not all sites, some sites have no problem at all. Using system proxy.
Tried reset firefox and lots of config setting on the web, nothing works. Can someone help?!
Thanks.

Separate Issue; Update your
Flash Player '''v15.0.0.189 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'''
If you are not sure about something asking about your password, '''Leave.'''
The only thing that should be asking about your proxy, is your proxy.

Cannot update apps. It keeps asking for an old email address and password and I can't seem to get rid of it.

I have everything running fine on my laptop with my new email address and password, but after using the sync feature, it still won't update the old apps on my iPad without using the old email.

That is how it is supposed to work. Apps and purchased content are always tied to the Apple ID that you bought it with. You will have to continue to use the old ID and password in order to update those apps.
You can sign in and out of the accounts in Settings>Store>Apple ID as needed.

My entries for serial number, apple id, and passwords are rejected. I need serious help. Thank you all.

On my IMac using Yosemite 10, I cannot find any of my passwords. When I enter information that is mine, I see it's not valid. Cannot seem to get help anywhere. I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords. Any help you all can give me will be so very appreciated. I am a little old 80 year old Apple user who is out of her depth trying to fix the problems. Thank you all and hurry.

Cannot seem to get help anywhere.
Where did you seek help from? If your iMac is still under warranty and/or you have AppleCare, you can call Apple tech support. Since you have an iMac, a tech will come to your home to troubleshoot if it cannot be done over the phone.
I don't know my keychain password so cannot find my lost passwords.
Finder>Go>Utilities>Keychain Access.app. You do not need a password.
Anybody else has access to your comp?

HT203128 Why can't I sign in to buy music on iTunes? The prompt doesn't process my Apple ID and password after I reset my password.

I reset my password for my Apple ID. Then go to Apple to sign in and my new password works. But, when I go to my iTunes App to purchase anything, when prompted to enter my Apple ID and password, it doesn't go through. I don't get any errors saying that I entered anything incorrectly or anything. I just get the prompt to enter my Apple ID and password over and over and over again, which does nothing but **** me off. Someone please help me!!

Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

How do I reset my Apple ID and password after I reseted my iPhone

My child lock my iPhone 4S and I had to reset my whole phone by connecting to iTunes on my PC and that was successful now as I was setting everything up again it was telling me to enter the Apple ID and password but it's not working so I was wondering how do I reset both of them

Did you buy this phone new? Or Used? Or did someone else have this phone previously?
Sounds like you encountered the activation lock. If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. No must enter the previous Apple ID and password in order to use the device. If you cannot do this chances are You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling but new owner can't log into apple keeps asking for old( mine) Apple id

Sold my wifi iPad and reset b4 selling
New owner can't sign into his Apple ID keeps asking for old (mine) Apple ID
Thought would have erased with resetting iPad

Hello, your iPad is 'Activation Locked' as a part of 'Find My iPad'.
Log onto www.icloud.com, go to 'Find My iPhone'. Then select 'All Devices', your old iPad will probably show here, select 'Remove from Account'.
If there is no option to 'Remove from Account' ask the current owner to switch iPad off for a while, and remove from account should show in 5 minutes or so.

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
