My iPhone 5s is still asking for the password in the App Store.
I just got the iPhone 5s yesterday. I setup the fingerprint scanner wich works great aside from one thing, It always asks me for my itunes password in the App Store. I have turned on the correct setting and I have updated to iOS 7.0.1. I have restrictions turned on since my kids use the phone alot. When I turn off restrictions everything works fine. This is definitely a bug. I asume apple will address this in an update soon, but has anyone found a fix for this?
It's not a bug. If restriction is on, what do you expect?
iPhone is meant for a single user, so if restrictions is set, you cannot use Touch ID to buy.

I recently changed my iTunes identity (email address) and password using my iMac on System 10.10.2, but my iPhone and iPad still ask for the old one. How do I switch them over?

Hi!
I have changed my Apple-ID to a new mailadress. But I have not been able to change the iCloud-adress in my iPhone. The iPhone just asks for my password to the old Apple-ID. Can anyone help?If the old ID is yours, and if your new 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.

Just upgraded IOS to V7 and iphone is asking for a password and the online password will not work. I really need to get this sorted as I am away and need to get the phone working.

No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone? -
I am trying to restore the last configuration I saved for my iPhone but iTune is asking for a password although I did not set any. What shall I do?
No there's not. Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps. How do I get mine back?
Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x. You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom). If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID. Then you should be good to go.

My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....
I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -
my daughter let a friend use her ipod shuffle. Now we can't find her so we can't get into her itunes. Restore still asks for her password. We just want a clean install. Is that possible?
Are you sure you have an iPod Shuffle and not an iPod Touch?

I cannot get my sons iPod touch to unlock. He has forgot his password and I have not synced his iPod to my new computer. I put it in recovery mode but it is still asking for his password. Any idea what to do next???
Try DFU mode instead.

When I go to Setting>icloud, the tap Delete it asks for a password and the email on screen is incorrect.So I cannot delete Account.
Don't know anything about McAffe Enterprise Server, but if your employer is preventing you from using iCloud backup there's really no way to use it without removing this from your phone. Unless you can convince the IT guys to make an exception.

If by anychance i signed in app store to buy a game using my friend"s ipad , and i forgot to sign out , does it mean that he can continue buying apps without facing the password question ? Or he must enter password for each purchase? Is it possible to save password from the first time signed in ?
Is changing the password of my app store account sufficient enough to protect my privacy ?
ThanksYou would have to move to the U.S. and find a place to live. Then you would have to get a credit card billed to that U.S address. Then, as long as you were inside the borders of the U.S., you could buy from the U.S store.

I am unable to receive my email because of a box that keeps coming up requesting a password, and when I put in my password, it says it is incorrect! I do not have my email set up to ask for a password. I am able to send emails, but not able to receive them??? My email still works on my iphone and my ipad, but I need it on my macbook Pro!
To my knowledge there is NO email provider that allows anyone to get or send emails without a password on the account.

I Have a new email address which I have entered into settings and it has been verified. I no longer have the old email address. When I try to update an app, it comes up with my old email address and asks for my password. It always comes back with a message that the password is incorrect. What do I do to fix this?
Hi Vivian Zollman,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm not sure if you are referring to your Apple ID or just your email account in the Mail app. So, I've included all of the articles that may be relevant for you.
iOS: Setting up an email account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810
If you already have an email account set up and you want to modify its settings, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, tap the name of your account, and then your email address. Then tap any information you want to adjust.

Does it show on your purchase history ? You can view recent purchases on this page : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
That should also let you contact iTunes Support and see if they will credit or refund you (we are fellow users here on these forums). If that page doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
In terms of not asking for your password, if it's been entered within the previous 15 minutes then it does't need re-entering - unless you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password set to 'Immediately'. -
Forgot the password to delete app store
i've made a password diffrent from my apple ID password to delete app store and other locked apps and now i forgott it. Can i reset the password?
Not without remembering it, that is what makes a password secure.
If you have Find My turned on in Settings > iCloud you can use your Apple ID and password to turn that off, and then you can restore to factory condition, that is erase all content and settings, to get rid of the other password. There is no way to change it without having it.
