My iphone does not ask for password for itunes

Ever since I installed ios 6 to my 2 iphone 4's. It does not ask for a password to download games or make purchases. I have a 5 year old son who can now purchase at will, how do I reset or fix that? Where is my security?

Thanks for letting me know. I never even checked to see if it was configurable.
Edit: I don't see where you can turn enable or disable the requirement for a passcode for udates? Can you tell me where to find it? The path you referred to only seems to relate to purchases.

  • IPhone does not show album artwork for some songs!

    My iPhone recently stopped showing album artwork for newly added music....
    I tried to add the album artwork thousand time but no use...
    Restore didnt help as well...
    Any solutions?

    no, it shows only for some, the old ones...not the newly imported ones
    I select all the songs from the album, I drag the picture -from folder or safari- then i drop it in the artwork box...
    sometimes shows for the first song only, but always shows for the album little preview, and never for the rest of the songs...

  • My iphone does not sync unless I reinstall iTunes every 2 or 3 syncs.

    Recently my iPhone 4G has stopped being recognized by iTunes. I tried everything, rebooting the iPhone, the MacBook Pro, switching USBs...
    Reinstalling iTunes fixes the issue, for a couple of syncs, then it happens again. I can't keep reinstalling iTunes each time I need to sync my phone.
    THe same thing happens with my iPad.
    Any idea?

    I found a solution
    I uninstalled the latest version and downloaded an older version but the problem kept on going.
    I followed the steps from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    I went into If only Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod appears
    and followed the steps and its working now.

    For the home WI-FI network. I need to unlock it so I can use the internet on the phone off the broadband network. I was in my friends house and when I connected to her WI-FI it asked for a password to allow me to run my phone off their broadband. When I selected their network it asked for as password which i entered and unlocked it. This is not happening for me on mine home broadband ??

  • ITunes on iPhone does not offer DL link for movie purchase!?!

    Is anyone else having this problem?
    I'm browsing thru movies on my iPhone 3G in the iTunes store
    and many of the movies don't have the button
    for purchase or rental. There's details about the purchase.. Like... 'If you buy this
    the SD version will be downloaded to this device and when you connect to
    iTunes on your computer the HD version will download.'
    I don't want to DL this movie to my computer. I'm trying to
    watch movies and TV shows on my iPhone.
    Anyone have any clue to why the link or button to
    purchase or rent is just MISSING for the page?
    This really seems just weird!
    Does iTunes NOT want to make money??
    I think not. PLEASE help.

    Are you using the same iTunes ID on the computer and on the device?

  • HT204053 Since upgrade to the latest version of the iPad system, my iPad does not recognise the password for iCloud and won't let me access it to change it

    Since the last upgrade on the iPad system, I have not been able to log in with my password to iCloud.  I have changed my Apple ID and password to see if this would help but no it hasn't made any difference and every time I go into my emails the log in screen keeps popping up with the old username and the sign in it won't recognise.  Please could someone tell me in easy steps how to alter this?

    Hi Susie. If you don't remember the password to the apple id with which you have logged into icloud then you need to reset the password at iforgot.apple.com. Put in that old apple id and if you have access to that email you can have a link sent to it to reset your password. If you don't have access to it then you can choose to answer security questions. If you can't answer the security questions properly then you need to go to expresslane.apple.com and tollow the prompts for apple id issues/can't answer security questions and if you put in your contact information Apple will call you immediately and you can talk to someone who can help you reset that password.

  • When macbook air restarts, it does not require the password for the admin

    I set up parental controls on son's Mac boolk air, but anytime it is restarted, it defaults to the admin account without haveing to enter pasword.  So basically, pointless to have controls if he can just use admin account.

    A. He can't use the admin account unless you gave him the password.
    B. He cannot access the admin account on startup unless you are using automatic login on the admin account.
    Turn off Automatic Login in Users & Groups under Login Items. Start using a new password on your admin account and keep it secret.

  • My iPod touch 5gen sees the wifi but does not accept the password

    My iPod touch does not accept the password for my home wifi but can connect to other wifi like Best Buy's.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • ICal error:  Server does not recognize your password

    Today I opened iCal on my iMac and I get an immediate error message saying that the "server does not recognize my password for my user name and says to make sure that it's entered correctly." I went to MobileMe in System Settings and everything was OK. I was able to see it on the MobileMe website but it still gives me the error message when I open iCal.

    Today, I had this exact same issue. What helped was quitting iCal, deleting the cal.me.com password in keychain, starting iCal again, then entering it again in iCal preferences. It started syncing right after that.
    People who don't have the cal.me.com password should check their general mobile me settings.
    Ghostlarke: if you sync your calenders, you ARE using MobileMe.

  • Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt

    Why can't I update or load new apps on my iPhone and iPad. It does not ask me for my password. I tried to sync from my laptop now I am unable to connect to any sites from internet explorer. When I try to update or load any app it tells me it is corrupt

    You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

  • My icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?

    To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID.  If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.
