My Apple ID keeps poping up asking for the password. I enter it and it tells my its not right, but then I down load a song and it takes the PW and works find.  Whats up

This started when I was seeting up the messanger to link with my iPhone 5

Hi Counselor B,
Is his Apple ID showing up when you are trying to update Apps? If so, then that means that those apps were purchsed under his ID, and they will be forever tied to that ID. So, to update them, you are either going to need to know his password, or you are going to need to delete them and re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
Cheers,

  • So, my girlfriends old apple ID keeps popping up asking for the password. I have changed my apple ID and my Itunes ID and it still pops up. what do I do?I cant download some of my apps because of it

    so, my girlfriends old apple ID keeps popping up asking for the password. I have changed my apple ID and my Itunes ID and it still pops up. what do I do?I cant download some of my apps because of it

    If you have any apps downloaded with the other AppleID, those apps
    will ask for the other AppleID to update.
    Downloads are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
    Delete the apps associated with the unwanted ID and download them
    under your ID. You will have to purchase apps that are not free.
    You cannot transfer apps from one Apple ID to another, not can you
    merge 2 Apple IDs.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    When I downloaded PhotoShop CC to my iMac it was suppose to include Lightroom. Lightroom was already running as a free trial.  Now the trial has expired and PSCC asks for the Lightroom serial number. What to do?

    Lets clear a couple of things up first.
    1, You have the Photographers CC subscription which gives you access to PSCC and the current version of Lightroom.
    2. PSCC does not include Lightroom.
    Now what you will need to do is delete the Lightroom app on your iMac and restart the Mac. Then you can d/load Lightroom from the CC app.

  • Why does my email keep asking for my password on my mac and iPhone?

    My email continues to ask for my password on my mac and my iphone 4 and it had never done this before. I continue to not recieve my emails because of it.It is saying it rejects my password.

    Is this a Gmail account?

  • Cab you get your ipod to forget old apple ID, because it is asking for the password but I do not use that apple ID becaue I have a new one, and not it will not let me enter a few of my apps

    I Have a new apple ID and it is asking for my old ones password, I try to enter an app and it asks me to sign in but I hit cancel then ot kicks me out of the app, everytime.

    When an app is purchased, it is locked to the Apple ID used to purchase/download the app. That will never change. If you have apps that are asking for the old ID for an update, it is working the way it is supposed to. If you cannot remember that password, then you will need to delete that app and download it again with the new Apple ID.

  • Asking for my password when I try and delete a file

    I have a few files that I can't seem to delete without the computer asking for my password. When I try and delete them, it shows this message:
    Authenticate
    Finder requires that you type your password
    Then the window has fields for my name and password. Under the Details arrow it says this:
    Requested right: com.apple.desktopservices
    Application: /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
    I'm not happy with having to provide my password just to delete a file. And not all files produce this result. Why does it do this?
    Cheers,
    Tina

    Select the folder containing the file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu; if the file is on the desktop, click on the desktop so that no icon is selected. Under Ownership & Permissions, change the settings so you have Read & Write access to the folder. This should not be done in system-level folders.
    You will be asked to enter your password when you try to delete the file in the following circumstances:
    1. If the folder you're deleting the file from is set not to allow you write access. This is the most common case.
    2. If the folder containing the file has the Locked checkbox set. This cannot be turned on or off in the Finder in versions of Mac OS X older than 10.4. If this was the case, you would be told that you didn't have permission to delete the file even after entering your password.
    3. If the enclosing folder has the sticky bit set and neither the file nor the enclosing folder are owned by your account. No item in your home folder should have the sticky bit set, but other parts of the hard disk(such as /Users/Shared/ and the hard disk itself) do.

  • HT201209 I am unable to redeem anything on my Itunes, asks for my password, I imput it and still will not allow me to redeem anything

    I am trying to redeem a free book from I picked up from Starbucks, and when I clicked the Redeem link and imputed my password, it did not toggle over to the Redeem site, instead it kept asking me for my password. I did it about four times until, I came to this site to see what is going on. It has been awile since I have used Itunes, but I have never had problems before redeeming songs or Itune gift cards.
    I wonder what is going on.
    Any information will be helpful. Thanks.

    Hi AnnaDiCe,
    If you are repeatedly prompted to enter your password when trying to use the iTunes Store, you may want to make sure that you have the most recent update to iTunes:
    Apple Support: iTunes 11.0.4
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614
    This update fixes a problem that may cause iTunes to quit if you switch between wired and wireless syncing and addresses an issue that may require you to log into the iTunes Store repeatedly.

  • I am trying to update my itunes but continue to get a error message after download is complete. The error is say that i need to have apple application support downloaded for the itunes to work. What do I do?? Shouldn't  apple application support be there?

    I am trying to update my itunes on my pc. After the download in complete, there is an error message telling me that Apple Application Support needs to be installed for Itunes to work. What do I do?? I've already unistalled and install the download four times and installed WinRAR. Still no success.

    These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
    Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
    Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.

  • Can't sign into my Apple Youtube app (the app that Safari links to when you click on a Youtube video). Ive tried the 2 step verification method and tried signing in with my gmail and the password given for the app- doesnt work? What do I do?

    Ive tried followinf a number of posts on using the 2 step verification method- none of it works. Please I need help with this, thanks.

    Also forgot to mention- i can log in with Google's Youtube app- the problem is Safari doesnt link to this app.  So if anyone knows how to get Safari to link to Google's Youtube app youd also solve this problem for me.

  • I have changed my Apple ID n pw , however an old Apple ID pops up asking for the pass word , I can't stop it or get rid of it, or find a pass word that works. Or reset it?

    I Changed my Apple ID and PW they work fine. But the old Apple ID keeps popping up asking for a PW, how can I get rid of the pop up request Or the old Apple ID? This only happens on the iPad.

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • MacBook keeps asking for the 'login' keychain password?

    Well I updated my Macbook to Mavericks and after restarting it a couple days later, a window annoyingly keeps popping up asking for the keychain password which I've unfortunately forgotten. I researched a little and someone suggested trying the KeyChain First Aid and if that fails, to delete it but neither work. How can I stop this from constantly popping up on my screen?
    Thankyou!!!

  • My yahoo mail keeps asking for my password, even though I entered it correctly.

    after my mail comes up and before I can read any emails, the system goes to a screen asking for my password. I enter my password, go back to mail, and before I can read any mail, the screen asking for my password pops up again and does it all over again.
