My iPhone 5S always asks for my iTunes password before i can use my fingerprint

I have set my iPhone 5s up, i use the fingerprint sensor to unlock and dowload apps etc, i have gone in to settings, general, Touch ID & Passcode, Touch ID and selected to use the finger print sensor for iTunes & App Store, i put my password in etc, yet every time i try to download an App i have to input my password again before i can use Touch ID! Why??
Just what is the point of setting it all up, when it is obvious that the Touch ID is not 100% trustworthy, has the password would only need inputting once if it was!
Really not happy with this repetitive cycle, i may has well of stuck with my iPhone 5, than waste my money on a gimmick!!

I would try a reset, hold the power button and home button until you see the apple if possible or hold for about 15 seconds then let go. If that does not help, I would restore it through itunes on your computer.

  • Ipad 2 with version 8.1.3;  update to take out bugs etc and now every time I click on an app it asked for my itunes id before I can get it to open;  any help would be appreciated

    I did the update to take out bugs etc;  now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open;  this is a pain;  has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this,  assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks

    Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke.  If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Iphone 4s keeps asking for my itunes password

    I goto play a song on the memory or access the internet or open an app and my itunes username pops up with theblank password field.
    I can press cancel to get rid off it without entering thepassword but it does come back.
    any thoughts?

    I have the same issue on a 4s with iOS 6. Asks me every 5 or 6 tunes. Hit cancel and it plays. Enter it and it plays. 5/6 songs later it is back.
    Has anyone managed to work this out yet? Driving me crazy.

  • Why is my iPhone asking for my iTunes password randomly and repeatedly?

    I have seen this question in several discussions, but all are archived. None had an answer.   I have 3 iPhone 4S's and 3 iPod Touch 4g's.  All, radomly but frequently enough to be annoying, display a pop up screen when first using the iPhone/Pod Touch (normally from sleep mode) asking for your iTunes password.  It gives you the option to select "cancel" or "enter"and sometimes I just hit cancel b/c I am so fed up with this.  I notice no problems if I do not enter my password and hit "cancel."  But, who knows if something is compromised by not giving the device what it "wants."   So, most of the time  I enter my password hoping that will satisfy the "beast" and it will not ask for it anymore.  No luck.
    I hope someone knows the answer to this before the "Gods of Archive" close this question/discussion.  I have to believe something is going on that is not right.
    One iPhone 4S and iPod Touch 4g is running off a MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.3
    Two iPhone 4s's and two iPod Touch 4g's are running off MacBook Pros running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    All devices are sharing the SAME iTunes password for apps, music, etc.
    Best, Mr. Luigi

    For those who might be experiencing this same problem, I'll pass on the things I try and whether it meets with any success or not.
    Here is my latest idea:
    As I mentioned earlier, our family of 3 shares 1 itunes account for apps, music...This way, one song, one app, whatever purchased by one of us can be used on the other's iDevices.  Up until recently we had 8 devices sharing this one account:
    3 MacBook Pros
    3 iPhone 4S's
    1 iPad Original + 3g
    1 iPad 2 +3g
    Then we were given 3 iPod Touch 4th generation devices.  I set them up and things seemed ok. Seemed...
    Then I noticed in the iCloud "Account Info" for this 1 account the 1 iPad Original + 3g was not listed as included with this Apple account.  Hm...
    In iTunes, I had 'Automatically Sync New Apps" turned ON for the iPad Original + 3g.  However, I noticed in the actual iPad Original + 3g that when I went to Settings --> Store,  Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and Books was set to OFF.  So, I naturally turned those to ON to coordinate with the "Automatically Sync New Apps" setting for this device in iTunes.  Next time I turned on that iPad a warning pop-up appeared that said only TEN devices could be associated with 1 iTunes account for automatic downloads.  Hm...
    I thought that perhaps having all our iDevices (8 of them) set to "Automatically Sync New Apps" was confusing iTunes because that meant I was asking it to Sync New App to 11 total devices (including my 3 computers).
    So, I am going to watch and see if anything happens by taking our original iPad out of the "loop."  Maybe this sorta random having to enter my password is because iTunes can't "handle" having 11 devices asking for app syncing when Apple has told it to only allow 10 devices.  (BTW, I think that Apple needs to change this rule now that it has Computers, iPhones, iPod Touches, AND iPads competing for those precious 10 spots.  It's easy to use them up even for a small family of 3 like ours.)
    If this has confused you, welcome to the club.  There is another discussion focused on families and their use of the new iCloud service.  It's a gargantuan discussion, so I'm not the only one perplexed as to the best way to manage a house of Apple Products sharing an iTunes account.
    All I can hope is that I am now confused at a higher level, and about more appropriate things so that eventually I may figure this out. Bye.

  • My iPad asks for my iCloud password but I can not. that I can do? the problem is that I try to access it by putting my email but I do not remember which was which I put.

    my iPad asks for my iCloud password but I can not. that I can do? the problem is that I try to access it by putting my email but I do not remember which was which I put.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reconnect before I can use it.  Any suggestions?

    Every time I start my Apple TV it shuts down. I have to unplug it and wait for it to reboot before I can use it.  This makes turning on Apple TV a very long process.  Any suggestions?

    That would be very hard to do, as I would have to do a lot of things--including moving furniture to get at the back of a receiver--and I'm not at all sure that the receive could accommodate it.
    The process is like this:  I dial the receiver to the Apple TV input.  The light comes on, like it's connecting, but then the Apple TV goes dark before any connection happens.  Then I unplug the power cord, wait a few moments, and plug it back in.  Then the Apple TV actually connects, but only after a full reboot (setting time, etc).

  • My iTouch has apps that are ready to upgrade. I'm asked for my iTunes password which I enter but it tells me it's the wrong password. It isn't because I can login to iTunes with it. I also have another iTunes account but app upgrade defaults to one a/c.

    My iTouch has several apps ready for upgrade. When I ask it to upgrade it prompts me for my iTunes password relating to one of my iTunes accounts but when I type it in it tells me it's the wrong password even though it isn't. Any ideas out there?

    From your discussion it sounds like the app you want to update were purchased under a different iTunes account than the iPod is current signed into.  Go to Settings>Store and sign out of the existing iTunes account and sign into the account that purchased the apps.  You can't change the account when the message identifying the signed-in account and asking for the password.

  • Why does my iPhone keep prompting me for my iTunes password? ...

    Starting a few days ago, iPhone 4S. Every so often, it seems randomly, when I'm using the phone I get prompted for my iTunes password. I enter it without error, get no error message.
    But then nothing else appears to happen, until I'm prompted for it again a couple hours later.
    My first thought was that I had a stalled download on the phone? But I don't see one.
    Any guess as to what's going on?
    Starting a couple nights ago, my daughter was downloading a bunch of purchased songs and one of them is apparently corrupted and stuck in never-never land. Keeps trying to download to our iTunes PC with no luck. Coincidence?
    Thanks very much,
    Chris

    It's all coming from Facebook.
    Either a notification is turned on or somehow these "events" have been synced to the calendar.
    The "how to fix" would depend on the notification.  If it's coming from the Facebook app, again, fix the notifications in the settings for your facebook account.  Since you're also getting emails, I believe this is where the notifications are coming from.
    If they are coming from the calendar app, then either change the notifications for each event or delete the events.

  • How do I stop my iPhone from constantly asking for my voicemail password and then telling me it's wrong?

    During my use of my iPhone, a box pops up intermittently asking for my voicemail password.  It then says "incorrect password."  It IS the correct password.  What can I do to stop this?

    Contact your wireless provider, have them reset your password, and try again.
