Password Request Loop

I have just updated iTunes and Iphone with messy results.
iTunes now asking on a continuous loop for my password to re-set my billing info. SOOO frustrating.
Can anyone help? I have reset password 4 times, and force quit iTunes several times. and it is stuck on a loop. i have even ticked 'remember password
My password works as im logged in to here!
help?

I have had a similar problem with iCloud, iMessage & Face Time since installing 2 step verification. It started with my Apple id being refused for logging into Face Time, but then I was asked to log in to iCloud and my password was refused for that. I then had to change my Apple id and next  time I was asked to log in to iCloud my Apple id was accepted a s a genuine Apple id but was not a valid iCloud account! I was subsequently forced several times into setting app-specific password for Face Time, iCloud and iMessage. However, I was being asked for my Apple id to log in to those apps (which was refused) , not the app-specific password!. After going round in circles repeatedly re-setting passwords I eventually switched off 2 step verification and it all stopped. I would like to have 2-step verification for my security, but I am not prepared to have all that hassle again.

  • Stuck in password reset loop

    Hello,
    As others have noted, I too am stuck in the password reset loop.  I have tried the clear cookies solution but it does not work.
    Please help!

    Good morning bigroot-
    Not being able to access BestBuy.com is definitely no fun.  How else are you going to take advantage of all the great deals we keep putting up on there?
    I believe that I have figured out why you are experiencing this issue, which is that we don’t show a telephone number currently attached to your account.  Once I’ve entered this in, I will request a password reset email be sent out to the email address on your BestBuy.com account.  Hopefully this should correct the issue for you, but if not, please let me know!
    Thanks,

  • How can I disable nagging "Apple-ID" password requests?

    Hello,
    In order to describe the problem I'm experiencing, I need to say some things in advance. I'm trying to install the same software on each of our 10 iPads. To do so, I install all necessary apps on one selected iPad (from here on "iPad No. 1") and do all in-app-purchases I want to do. On this particular iPad, everything will work fine, but not on the other ones.
    Afterwards, I create a backup of iPad No. 1 within iTunes using the Option "Save" (all captions are translated from German and might not match exactly with English captions). Then, all iPads are connected to my computer, one after another. All of them have the same name and are fed with the data from iPad No. 1 using the iTunes option "revert to backup...".
    Then, all iPads are supplied with a profile using the "iPhone Configuration Utility". The profile contains wifi access data among settings for password requests as well as permissions to use the iTunes Store and to do in-app-purchases. The last three options must be unrelated to my problem, though, because I tried all possible combinations of those three options (brute force) and changing the configuration to any of those settings did not solve my problem, which I will come to describe in a second.
    Until I did some in-app-purchases, the above procedure worked just fine and I wasn't bothered with any password requests. But now, all of my iPads have the following problems - except for iPad No. 1:
    The in-app-purchases are registered on all iPads, i.e. I'm not asked to pay again for what I already paid for. Yet, the additional data and program functionality I bought in iPad No. 1 and downloaded on iPad No. 1 is unavailable on all other iPads and needs to be downloaded manually by the push of a button. Note: I do not need to enter any password in order to download the in-app-purchases I already made. But 12 In-App-purchases on 10 iPads makes 120 manual actions for each time I need to reset the devices to the backup I created. That alone makes this procedure a real hassle, and things are getting worse:
    All devices except for iPad No. 1 will ask for "password for Apple-ID" regularly, e.g. when the device is switched on after the backup. Since the devices are to be used in an educational environment and were selected as the devices of choice for the mere reason that they are very easy to use without any knowledge of computer equipment, this makes the whole thing completely unusable.
    The password requests will stop once I manually downloaded the in-app-purchases.
    In other topics, I read that this "password request problem" can be caused by incompletely downloaded software. People have advised others who had this problem to "synchronize" and "submit purchases" within iTunes. But doing those after "revert to backup" didn't help, as expected.
    It is correct, though, that the problem seems to be related to incompletely downloaded software. Yet I don't know what I could do to transfer the in-app-purchases from iPad No. 1 to the other devices. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just a partial solution to what I described.
    Best regards,
    Jörg

    If your two IDs have duplicate contacts, simply turn contact syncing off in one of them. You can do this on your Mac at system preferences > iCloud or on a mobile device at settings> iCloud.

  • IOS 6.1 on iPhone 5: multiple Apple ID password requests on restart

    After installing iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 5 and restarting the iPhone, I was besieged with requests to enter my Apple ID password...6 in a row, one after another. After things calmed down, I turned off the iPhone completely and turned it on again to see what would happen, and got another 6 password requests. This onslaught of requests does not happen on my other two iOS devices, an iPad 2 and a 3rd generation iPad, but it happens every time I power down (not sleep, but power down) and then restart the iPhone.

    No. You must sign in with your Apple iD.

  • I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and I am being subjected to additional password requests and the monitor take store ever to boot up.  Approximately 5 mins which is way in excess of previous operating system.

    I have recently upgraded to Mavericks and I am being subjected to additional password requests and the monitor take store ever to boot up.  Approximately 5 mins which is way in excess of previous operating system.

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • How to enable password request for restart and shutdown?

    Hi,
    I'm neither a Linux nor an Arch Linux newbie, but inexperienced regarding this particular issue.
    I want to enable password request for restart and shutdown and want to know if I'm mistaken, because trial and error might become to time-consuming while working on a project.
    I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … o_shutdown.
    $ ls -hAl /usr/bin/shutdown
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 22 03:02 /usr/bin/shutdown -> systemctl
    If I try to run $ shutdown -hP 28 or $ shutdown -c nothings happens, I need to run $ sudo shutdown -hP 28 and $ sudo shutdown -c and type a password. That's the way I want it.
    If I e.g. run $ shutdown -r now no password is needed. I want to disable this. It should behave the same way as shutdown -hP/-c behave. I want to type
    $ sudo shutdown -r now or $ sudo systemctl reboot etc. and then the password should be required.
    $ sudo grep -vn "#" /etc/sudoers | grep [[:blank:]]
    72:root ALL=(ALL) ALL
    73:rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL
    The user "rocketmouse" should have all permissions after typing a password, but not without typing the password.
    IIUC what's written at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Polkit, I need to edit
    $ pkaction | grep login
    org.freedesktop.accounts.set-login-option
    org.freedesktop.login1.attach-device

    IOW I need to replace every yes and no etc. with auth_admin in $ grep -v lang /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy.
    Am I mistaken?
    Regards,
    Ralf

    You'll need to create a rules file which uses javascript.

    // /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/10-admin-shutdown-reboot.rules
    polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {

  • ICloud password request at start-up

    During the past week or so, I've noticed a persistent request panel that appears during startup and asks for my iCloud password. I've never seen this request before. The first time it happened, it was accompanied by several other password requests for Apple related items. Now it only asks for the iCloud password. Is this a new security feature?

    No, it shouldn't be doing that.  If this is happening on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  See if that stops the prompts for your password.

  • Constant password request pop-up!

    How can I get an old user ID password request to stop popping up on my iphone? My Apple ID has been successfully changed, but this request, related to an earlier email address, keeps popping up. Any password I try to enter fails, but if I cancel the request the pop-up goes away. This began happening after the latest IOS 6 update. Going into my account with the old user ID in question and requesting the lost password be sent to me produces nothing.

    I have found that frequent user ID - password requests are directly related to Game Center.  My recommendation is to go to Game Center, and sign out of it (except when you're using it).  That should help a lot.

  • How to automize Self-control [Internet blocker] / bypassing password request?

    Hey  there,
    I hope someone on here may be able to help with this. I figured it might be good to ask about this on a popular board geared towards general non-technical user like myself. 
    I use  the app SelfControl [http://selfcontrolapp.com]  to help me manage my internet addiction. The app's great. It really helps--when it's running.
    I've been trying to set it up so it automatically starts at certain times of the day [i.e. every day 10pm-7am], Using the guide found here [ http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20100801214648362,] I've been able to integrate SelfControl into my iCal, to set it up as a recurring iCal event. 
    But SelfControl requires my admin password to  actually initiate the the internet block. So right now, I have to manually enter the password every time iI want to run SelfControl--even when it's automatically launched as an event from iCal. This kind of makes the app useless as I can just not enter the password and continue surfing endlessly. 
    Basically, I need  some help figuring how to bypass the password request/have it inputted automatically. I did try following the instructions found in the above link about using keychain access, etc but none of it seemed to work--SelfControl still prompts me for my password.
    I am hoping someone here can help me out; the instructions in the above page are a little too technical for me to fully comprehend (and the forum linked above is now permanently closed)
    I'm the only user of my laptop, if that makes a  difference. I am running OS 10.10.1 Yosemite.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks,
    Kursty

    My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?

    Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
    My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
    I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
    If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer?

  • ICloud password request comes on screen and won't cancel or allow log in. other issues before this included flashing screen, safari help line invitation and redirected searches. have done safe reboots with mixed success.

    had a new drive installed on my MacBook Pro and since then some problems have come up. at first i'd get redirects on my searches that would often lead to a popup stating Safari had a security issue and I should call a certain number.  I guessed that to be Bull and tried to correct the problem myself. Numerous safe boots would clear it for a use or two then back to the redirects again. Now the iCloud password request comes on after startup. it offers two options, cancel or log in. Neither goes anywhere. Is my next option only take in for a service call?

    You might have to enter the password a few times before the prompts stop. If you don't actually use iCloud, sign out of it in the iCloud preference pane.

    Hi Mauricio,
    I remember a sim. problem on MacOS 10.6. I remember that by then it was Firefox which needed to be upgraded to use the systems JRE (Java Resource Engine) instead of some other floating around on the OS. Maybe the conclusions drawn in the thread (external link) can help you, as this sounds a little like your problem: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1153590
    Furthermore, I urgently advice you to scan your computer for viruses and malware programs. MacScan is offering a trial mode, where you can do this for free. Hope that helped.
