Parental Control: Allowed apps now ask for password

Hello,
Mac OS 10.7.2.
I have set up parental controls on my kids' accounts and I have turned on the restrict applications setting.
I have placed check box next to each app they are allowed to use, Mail, iTunes, specific games etc.
I have un-checked a few specific apps, TurboTax, etc, that they don't need access to.
When they log in and try to use their allowed applications, Mail, Safari, etc, it is asking them for an admin password on everything they are trying to open, even though the apps are checked on the 'allowed' application list.
Is this normal?? I thought it should only ask for a password on apps that are NOT on the allowed list..

Hello, I wondered if you got through to Microsoft and they managed to change your parental control options? I am having the same problem as you with downloading apps on my son's phone - need parental control, but it doesn't let me carry it out comes out with a error code and says contact support.
I tried to contact Microsoft but they put me on hold - sending my call to America and India (was on hold for an hour or so). I have logged a complaint and emailed Microsoft but still nobody gets back to me.
So currently have a phone for my son but he cannot download apps. Dont want to reinstall as he will have to change all his details on Xbox and all his avitars etc (friends) - we want to keep his same email address.
Driving me crazy and Microsoft not coming forward with any advice. All I want to do is adjust my parental control to let my son download apps.
Appreciate any help please. Thank You

Got a new iPad and set up to sync with iCloud and now asking for password which I never set. How do I get on device if I don't know what it thinks password is?

Help. I just got a new iPad 2 and set up sync with iCloud and no password. Now asking for a password and I never set one up. What password does it want: iTunes, iPhone (no real password there either). Tried as many passwords as I could think with the iPad locking me out since I don't have the password! Would like to use the iPad but can't get on to try it.
Thanks.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

Mail App repeatedly asks for password

Mail App asks for password for Yahoo mail several times a day.

No sign of disobeyance from her till now. But

Nothing is sure in our world.

App Store asks for password to wife's apple id

Had my Iphone 4 replaced at the store yesterday, all restored fine from backup however when I go to update my apps it asks for my wifes password to her id!
My wifes phone is synced on the same pc.
I have checked all settings in the phone and they contain my own apple id details.
Upgraded phone software to 4.3.5 (didn't work before, doesn't work after)
Itunes recognises phone as my own.
Have restarted phone and itunes.
No success, help.
Thanks

If the apps were bought with your wife's Apple ID, then they need to be authorized with her ID for use on your iPhone.

App Store asks for password for every download

Sometimes I download a few apps at a time but every time I am asked to type in my iCloud password. Why?
I have not exited the App Store app on my iPhone, I'm still in the same session, I've just looked around for just a couple of minutes more before I select the download button for another app... only to get the iCloud password window. Again.
Surely doing it once should be enough. Surely not having to do it at all because it's MY iPhone should be ideal.
Is there a way to control this?
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks for the heads up.
Sometimes, though, I've downloaded a couple of apps within quick succession but I have still been required to type in my iCloud password...

App store asking for password

I used to be asked for my password after selecting an app to download. Now I'm being asked for it as soon as I open the "appstore" app. Was there a change?
Thanks!

App store will not accept my password. the email address was changed and shows it changed ever where EXCEPT on my iPhone and will not accept my password so I cannot update or buy new apps! HELP!

App store asks for password immediately after opening

Hi,
some strange behaviour I noticed recently: the App Store-app asks for my password *immediately after I opened it* (before I clicked on any app to install it ...).
Is this a new bug?
regards,
Joerg

Login to iTunes on your computer and check for available downloads. You have something waiting to download that is too big to download on your phone. Once this downloads, the prompts will stop on the phone.

Email now asks for password every time I try to access it. Getting very annoying

All of a sudden I have to enter my email passwords each time I try to access my account. I check the box that says save in Keychain access and it makes no difference. Sometimes it asks for my password 3 or 4 times.

you may want to try repairing your keychain and see if that resolves the issue, the following article tells how to do this:

hopefully this helps, if not let us know

I downloaded an app under my ex wife's apple id. App did an update so icon is no longer on screen and app keeps asking for password to ex wife's account and not allowing me to reinstall under my new apple id. Help please.

All purchases are associated to the ID that was used to download/purchase it. There is no way around it, it is due to copyright DMCA laws. You will have to login in with her ID or delete it and re download it with yours. Sorry.

Mail.app still asks for passwords, i tried everything !

each time I launch mail, it asks me for my passwords (3 for pop accounts + 1 for smtp). I tried to delete the preferences, I tried to delete the accounts and re-create them, I tried "SOS trousseau d'acces", I put the file login.keychain on the desktop, system.keychain too, I tried disk utilility to repair the authorizations, I reboot each time, NO WAY, it drives me crazy ! it looks like every change has no effect on the "trousseau d'acces".

You might try deleting the file located at:
/Users/cynthiabartz/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Deleted%20Messages.mbox/Messages/29051.emlx
If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too.

ITunes and App Store ask for password and tell me it is wrong even after I go in and change it.

I am stuck. I can't download apps or music. I can log into my account and change the password. As soon as I attemp to buy something, it says the password is wrong.
I think I may have a second apple ID attached to another email. When I try to add a backup email to the account, it tells me that email is attached to another Apple ID. But when I ask Apple to send a reset to that email, nothing happens.

Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

Hi,
I have a mac mini server with mavericks, i have 2 iMacs as clients running mavericks too, when i use iMac (A) mail app and icloud work fine, them i take iMac (B) and mail app start asking for password , it just won't take the password, icloud do not load and cannot use anything else on system prferences because it locks system preferences, i need to force quit system prefrences , so I return to iMac (A) and i get same behaivor as iMac (B), i would appreciate your help for finding a solution for this.
All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
Thanks
Hector

Hector;
I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
Example:
my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
instead of
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies.

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

When I update an app it asks for my password (as usual) but now there is no touch keyboard or other way to enter the password. This problem started, I think, after the latest OS update.What's going on?

I tried a reset and it did the trick.
