Must I enter my password each time I update an app

Yes. That is how they know you are the one that bought the app in the first place. Pretty basic security for you and them. The good news is that once you enter it, it will remember for 15 min, so you can update others, or get new apps without needed to re input.

I dont want to enter password each time i log on

I do not want to enter password each time I log on to my computer

Hunter1744, welcome to the forum.
If you are using Win7, you can go into Start. In the "Search programs and files" box at the bottom type "cmd" and hit Enter. This will open a terminal window. Type "netplwiz' next to the prompt and hit Enter. This will bring up a box titled User Accounts. Uncheck the box next to "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer." It will ask for a Password and to verify the Password. Once you do this, you should not have to logon with a Password in the future.

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

I have a Sirius subscription. Do I have to enter password each time I log in?

That would depend on the application you're using to access Sirius, I would presume. What application do you use?
If you're using just a web browser, I don't have a subscription to confirm but it does look like it would require the user name and password whenever you reconnect. Sirius support or a Sirius-releated forum might be able to provide additional information.

Problem with having to enter password each time to gain access to network.

Hi there. I have just setup an airport express——connected to our dsl modem——as our only wireless network in a small flat. We just have two computers connecting wirelessly: my macbook pro (10.5.7) and my wife's powerbook (10.4.11). A very simple setup.
A few changes I made, using airport utility: I changed the MAC Address Access Control to timed so that both of our computers are on the approved MAC address list with "everyday, all day" access.
I also made it a closed network. And I changed the WPA Group Key timeout to under 12 minutes.
Other than than I left the settings as-is.
I was able to get both of our notebooks connected properly and everything seemed dandy as we were both online.
Here's the problem: if I leave the network or power down (macbook pro), I'm told that my machine can't find the proper network once I boot back up. I have to manually enter the name of the network and enter the password each time in order to get access——then I'm back online again. My wife's powerbook, however, doesn't have this same problem. And I've saved the network's password to both our keychains, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
Any thoughts? I'd love to be able to simply power up and be connected like a normal human being.

On your MacBook Pro, you might check a few things:
Open System Preferences and click on Network
Click on your AirPort connection on the left to highlight it and then click on the Advanced tab at the lower right of the pane.
Make sure that there is a check mark next to "remember any network this computer has joined"
Also check to make sure that your network shows up in the Preferred Networks list and that it is listed at the top of any other networks you make have shown.
You would also want to make sure there were NOT check marks next to:
"Disconnect from any wireless networks when logging out" and
"Require Administrator password to control AirPort"

ITunes ask for my password every time I update an app

Device: iPad2 with iOS 7.0.3
Starting just this week, every time I click on "update" to update an app, it prompts me for my iTunes password. This happens even if I click on one update after the other, it prompts me to enter my password every time. Last week, I was able to update apps and it didn't prompt me for my iTunes password each time.
Any ideas what may of happened?
Thank you in advanced.

This worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

Do you currently have Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately' ? If you do then you will need to enter your password for every app update as well as for every new purchase.

Iphone won't automatically re-connect to wi-fi; have to re-enter password each time

I just "upgraded" my wi-fi router to a Netgear WNDR3400. Everything seems to be set up fine, and I'm able to connect with our various iphones, ipads, and AppleTV. But our iphones won't automatically re-connect to the network after the connection is lost, and we have to re-enter the password when we re-connect.
Kind of stumped here.
Jim

These didn't work, but oddly enough what worked was choosing "other" network, typing the name of my network in (even though it already showed up in the list of networks), indicating WEP encryption, and typing the password in.
Disconnected a few times and was able to automatically connect.
Kind of odd if you ask me.

All of a sudden can not delete files unless I enter password each time, why?

as title indicates why has my system changed? any ideas why I can not delete without a password?

I understand that I do not have permission, my inquiry is why, I have had lion installes for about 3 weeks and a few hours ago for no reason I am unable to delete without a password. My system was not updated changed or manipulated by me in any way for the past week unless it was done behind the scenes with no visual or auditory notification!

I just updated to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Now I must enter my admin password each time I attempt to access my main hard drive. How do I reverse the need for the password. It's a real PAIN!

I'd think you have a Keychain problem (Keychain storing passwords and the likes).
When you are being asked, are you offered the checkbox, "Remember this password in my Keychain"? If so, check and see if it stops asking.

I changed my facebook password, now i have to enter the new password each time i log in, how do i lock the new one

How do i enable my Itunes account? When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disable." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They didn't help

When i try to purchase or update it says "Your Apple ID has been disabled." I have contacted Apple 3 times and they told me to change my password each time and i told them i tried that, but it didn't work.They said they would try to fix it and they never contacted me after that. I have an ipod touch 2nd generation.

What did itunes support tell you?
If you did everything it says then you contacted them.
From the article you linked:
If the issue persists, you can visit iCloud Support, iTunes Support, Apple Print Products, or contact AppleCare for further assistance."

What's with having to change passwords each time one error is made entering it?

So I entered what I believe was the correct itunes store account password and it says invalid. I try again and it suddenly locks me out, now I have to create an entirely new password (one that has not been used in over a YEAR) and a bunch of other restrictions on how many characters, what types of characters are allowed, where the characters can be placed (oh no, you can't have three characters the same together, no matter how long your password is.)
I understand the risks out there, and I understand Apple is doing what they consider is best for the customer. But Appple, you really dropped the ball on this one. There are many disappointed and frustrated customers, including newbies, who chose Apple with the understanding it was more friendly than the "Other" platforms out there. ****, my government security isn't even this stringent!! Lossen up Apple, you're not doing your customers any good furiating them with complex passwords. Next you'll be expecting the general public to come up with their own password Algorithums!
This goes against the principal of Apple's reputation of making computers friendly for ALL users.
Listen, we know the risks. You make us agree to those internet inherant risks before we can use any of your products. We need Apple to ease up the the stringent security measures a bit and find other non-invasive ways to protect its customers.
I was so frustrated, I might even go back to the "Other" camp.

TS3988 why do i have to enter my apple id password each time i use my phone

I recently backed up my phone to icloud while it was NOT plugged into anything, now I have to enter my appleID password each time I try to send a message! What happened?

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

What can I do to have my AppStore ID Password asked each time I download an app ?

What can I do to have my AppStore ID Password asked each time I download an app ?

Apple just recently changed the authentication process to NOT ask for username/password, at least when installing a *free* App or updating one that was free.
In iOS 6, (at least, I don't remember if it was in iOS 5), you can set the amount of time before a password is again requested:
Settings>General>Restrictions>Require Password: Immediately. Not having used this, I don't know if it will ask for a password everytime. You might want to give it a shot.
