Password lock for app from App Store

Is there any app that I can get to lock with a password an app I got from App Store like Facebook, Instagram, etc?

No. That would have to be coded into the specific app by the developer. Just passcode lock the phone. It's not supposed to be a multiuser device.

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.

How do I turn off password protection for apps and keep them from downloading on all my apple devices

How do I turn off password protection for apps on my Iphone4 and keep them from loading on all other devices?

What do you mean by "password protection for apps"?
To keep apps from downloading on a device automatically, go to Settings> Store> and turn off the things you don't want downloaded automatically.

Cannot update my keynote, pages and numbers from my ipad. I have different accounts, one for app store and other for icloud. What can I do?

You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

Can I use touch ID for App Store without using a passcode?

It seems that the ony way I can use the touch ID for App Store and iTunes is if I have a passcode to get into my phone. I don't want a passcode, it get in and out of my phone too often to have to unlock it all the time and I hate manually typing in my password for App I buy. Why can't it do both, isn't the touch ID just as secure for purchases even if you don't have to unlock the phone to get to it??

From the article:
You can set up Touch ID in iOS Setup Assistant or by tapping Settings > Touch ID & Passcode. To set up Touch ID, you must first set a passcode. Touch ID is designed to minimize the input of your passcode, but you need a passcode for additional security validation, such as enrolling new fingerprints.
So yes, that's how it's designed. You must have a passcode, though as long as you understand the caveats:
In addition, you will need to enter your passcode to unlock your iPhone in these conditions:
After restarting your iPhone 5s
When more than 48 hours have elapsed from the last time you unlocked your iPhone 5s
To enter the Touch ID & Passcode setting
and
You can't use Touch ID for purchases if Require Password in Settings > General > Restrictions is set to Immediately.
you should be able to use Touch ID without needing your passcode. If none of those circumstances is true and you're still being asked for your passcode to make a purchase from the iTunes Store, it would seem that something is amiss with your iPhone.

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.

Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block the facebook and twitter on my ipod touch with a password will is effect the password on the app store ?

Hey Apple (: Just wondering if i block my facebook and twitter on my ipod with a password does this password effect the app store password or can they be different ?

I did not blocked it . My mum did she got the people from the store to do it but i'm just worried that the password she use to block those sites might effect the password for my appstore. So you're saying that it won't effect and that i can use a different password ?

Spotlight Comments not editable for App Store Apps

I'm liking the app store and the ability to download apps quickly and efficiently. However, I'm not able to edit spotlight comments for downloaded apps. I've tested editing spotlight comments for my regular assortment of apps that were not downloaded from the App store and didn't have a problem. Nor did I have a problem editing spotlight comments for regular files. I've just been locked out of editing app store apps. The permissions for App Store Apps appear to be set identically to other apps I have. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the built in update process for these apps, and now they are locked out for any modification by end users? Anyone else have this problem, or know of a workaround?

Good:
Unlocking the application and adding the privilege allowed me to edit the spotlight comment.
Bad:
After updating the application (Sparrow Mail for my example), I'm in a worse spot.
I changed the privileges again, and unlocked the application.
I can not edit the comment.
Spotlight is not finding the comment.
Reindexing Spotlight
Still not finding it.
Anyone have suggestions on this one?

How to change the account setting for App Store

My last question wasn't so clear, so I would like to post again. I want to know how to change the account setting for App Store. I have changed in the Settings but it doesn't reflect in App Store.
Thanks,

once you sign out just click sign in and put the new email address in the "Username" field and your correct password then click OK
it will look like it is doing nothing but give it time and it will sign you in with the new username.
is it possible you have multiple itunes accounts?
when you changed your itunes account from your me.com to your gmail.com address did you change it within the itunes Edit Account Info ('Store' menu then select 'View My Account', then sign in , select edit account info) or did you just create another itunes account?
be well

Greetings chaimba216,
After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
iCloud: Change your iCloud password
Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Is the password question in app store occur each time i want to buy or i can change that in the settings to enter it just once?

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 ?
Thanks

You 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.

HT201371 A "bug"?. Need touch ID only for app store and no passcode to unlock the Phone!

Hello. I have an Iphone 5S and have a doubt about the touch id. I want to use it only for getting apps from the apps or itunes store. To unlock the phone i don´t want neither touch id or passcode. Is this possible?
I´ve tried all the options available.
- if only select touch id for app store, it keeps asking me the passcode to unlock the phone
- If i turn the passcode off, it doesn´t allow me of course to use touch id anywhere...
Thanks in advance for the help!

I get in and out of my phone 100 times a day I'm not going to waste .5 seconds every time just to unlock my phone.
If you're using Touch ID, it takes no longer to unlock your phone than it does to pick it up. That's the whole point. It certainl doesn't take 5 seconds. Of course, it also doesn't take 5 seconds for me to enter a 4 digit passcode.
Best of luck.

Message: "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on"

Trying to install 10.7 (from 10.6.8) on Mac Mini server 4,1. I don't use it as a server, and don't know anything about that.I get a message "Waiting for App Store to download Mac OS X Server Add on" check download at App store. There is none. Help?
Mac Mini Server 4.1/2.66 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo/8 GB Memory

Ran into this myself on a new MacMini Server. I renamed the ServerVersion.plist file in /System/Library/CoreServices/. That allowed the install to start. Unfortunately it seems the installer is setup to install that at the same time. I renamed the file back before the restart and it complained on restart that the server install wasn't found.
So I thought I would try downloading it on another computer with Lion. That didn't work either. As soon as it finished download it installed and deleted the installer.
What a pain.
If you can start from scratch, you should be able to rename the file, do the Lion install then after the Lion install rename it back. Then do the server install. I'm not sure what that will do to existing server configs though. There must be some reason Apple set up the Lion installer this way.
Oh, now I can't reboot into my existing OS. It keeps rebooting into the installer. Tried the option key and both options are named something like base os. Neither boots my existing Snow Leopard. Gonna have to get an external DVD drive and install from scratch I think. Luckily this is a new server not in production, so not a big deal. I hope people with production machines read the boards and tread carefully.
