No longer asked to enter my password for purchases or updates on my iPhone4

Can I turn the password request ON again? I'm afraid to update my kids iPods without them draining my bank account!

My Apple ID was changed. Yet when I try to update apps I am asked to enter the password for the old IG which will not work and no matter what I do. When I attempt to update apps it still askes for the wrong ID data.

My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.

You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

Every time I open my email on my iPad, I'm asked to enter the password for my old address. I have deleted that account, but I'm still asked for the password. What to do?

This is normal behaviour. Apple have recently introduced increased security to protect you from fraudulent transactions. Once you have answered the questions (remember your answers) you will only be asked for them occasionally in future.

I am trying to publish my iWeb page and it's asking me: Enter the password for "lets4267" on 184.168.17.1 Why is it asking me to enter a password...never had to before. I don't recognize what 'lets4267' is.

I recognize the "lets" but the 4267 I don't know where it came from. Why I'm I all of the sudden asked to enter a password to publish anything on the web site?

In the left hand column of iWeb, select the name of your web site. It should be listed at the top, and indented below it are all your web pages. This should display the "Site Publishing Settings".
Ensure that "publish to" is set to FTP server, then look in the FTP server settings info area. There is a spot there for a password.
This password is provided to you by your FTP server. If you can't remember what this password should be, then you need to contact your FTP server.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Why do I have to re-enter my password for my wireless router?

I bought my brand new Macbook Pro yesterday and am pretty disappointed.
Can someone please explain in very basic terms, how to keep my Mac connected to the internet? Every time I attempt to connect to the internet, I'm asked to enter my password for my wireless router. I also have a ThinkPad that's also new and it stays connected to the internet and once I entered my password for the router, it's stayed connected and I have never had to enter the password again.
Did I make a mistake buying a Mac? I have time to return it, so any advice is much appreciated.

Hi phog,
When you're entering the password, are you being sure to check the "remember this network" checkbox that's on the box where you type your password in? If you don't, every time you reconnect to your network, you'll be asked to re-enter it. Also, is this happening only when you restart your machine or wake it from sleep, or is it happening every time you quit your browser and re-open it?
Keep at it! There's a learning curve with any new equipment, but as someone who switched from PCs myself about five years ago, I can tell you that it's worth it.
Hope that helps!

HT1918 My husband's iPhone4 uses one apple id for purchases and updates, but another is listed in the App Store. How do I reconfigure his phone to only use the apple I'd and password that is used in the the "featured" section of the App Store?

My husband's iphone4 seems to have 2 apple ids. The one listed in the featured section of the App Store is the correct one. The one that asks to be signed into for purchase and updates is also mine, and the incorrect one. Hence, our devices are linked. How can I remove my apple Id from his phone so that there is no connection between the two?

I think it may be because he got his phone first and not seeing a future issue, I set his phone up to my already existing apple Id used for my iPod. If I connect his iPhone to our pc, can I create his own apple id account?

I just downloaded a new software update on my I-phone5. As part of the process I was asked to sign in to iCloud and enter the password for an ID that I've long ago deleted with Apple. Anyone know why my new apple ID isn't coming up,

No. The problem is that when you changed Apple IDs you did not update your Apple ID to reflect the change, so your phone is still associated with the old ID. You will need to un-associate it. The process is the same as what you would do if you sold the phone. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

Hi appledapple1964,
After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

After updating to ios 7, I am now asked to enter my password continuously when using outlook web access for my work emails. This didn't happen before, I only had to enter my password once. How can I fix this?

After updating to ios 7, I am now asked to enter my password continuously when accessing my emails on outlook web access. Before I just had to log in and I was able to reply, save emails, etc without re entering my password. How do I fix this?

Similar thing is happening to a relative.
He upgraded his iPhone 5 and lost his iCloud account and all his email accounts. Major pain in the neck for a senior. And it was not a user error...unless you count the fact that he hit the upgrade button.

You can't reset it. If you don't konw the password then you can't use that backup
