"Password required" every time I want to edit my contacts. Why?
Since I updated, I keep getting the same request from my contact list on my iPad. Not on my iPhone. I can't figure out where to correct this and it's driving me crazy.

Yes I'm logged in. It only does it on my iPad. I tried restyling my Apple ID password and it still does the same thing.
I'm missing something but can't figure out where. It started after I updated to ios7. Maybe there is a setting somewhere I'm missing.

10.4.7 upgrade "Mail password required every time"

I have a fleet of G5 Powermacs in two cities a thousand miles apart plus the new Macbook Pro. All required the 10.4.7 update which was done by the Automatic Software Update feature.
The problem.
Not one, but all of these machines (5) including the Macbook Pro will not save the login password for our email accounts in Mail. We have 2 POP accounts plus 3 .Mac accounts. Mail since the update does not seem to access the keychain to use or verify the password for each account.
I have looked in the keychain and all the passwords are there. I have checked the "save password to keychain" box every time I log in. It does not save it.
Is this a bug in Mail? I have seen a lot of messages about problems with Mail since this Update but none have provided he right answer to this problem.
I have seen answers blaming the ISP. This is clearly a Mac problem as the update does not use the information stored in the keychain. I have also re-entered the password directly into the Mail Preferences setup box only to see it blank the nextime I open it. Ver 10.4.6 always showed an invisible password ie a row of black dots in this box. Ver 10.4.7 is always blank.
All machines access ADSL. Some directly, some through a router. All have exactly the same problem.
Does Apple know about this problem?? Can anyone give a straight answer?

In addition to the above post I have done all of these as suggested in these posts, "they dont work" :-
"Open Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the Keychain. If that doesn't work, you may try removing the password entry from the Keychain, and let Mail create it again.
Also, open Mail Help and read the article titled Mail keeps asking for my keychain password, in case it applies to you. There is a related article titled My password is not saved that you should ignore, as the last suggestion provided there (deleting the mail account) is wrong and could cause irretrievable data loss if this is not an IMAP-type account."

How to disable/remove password requirement every time you send amessage

Every time I try to send an email, I get a box requiring me to type in a password (the one associated w/my ISP provider account). I can't find a way to turn off. My daughter uses Thunderbird & does not have this problem. She has a desktop pc & I am using a laptop, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference? This is so annoying and I couldn't find an answer any where in HELP or online support. My daughter set Thunderbird up for me & can't figure out why this is happening or how to make it so I don't have to do this. Please help & provide me w/a solution. THANKS!

There is no check box with, at or near the password requirement. It is the same password used to access my server (comcast.net). I have asked comcast.net and they told me it is a Mozilla Thunderbird problem, and they have no control over it, so can't fix the problem - CALL THUNDERBIRD!
But Thunderbird doesn't have any customer service. The problem only began when I had to change my comcast.net password (and no, the old one doesn't work either now).

Mail password required every time

After every computer restart or program restart i am prompted for my ISP password.
I have checked the "save password to keychain" box every time I log in. It does not save it.
I have also re-entered the password directly into the Mail Preferences setup box only to see it blank the nextime I open it. Ver 10.4.6 always showed an invisible password ie a row of black dots in this box. Ver 10.4.7 is always blank.
I am fed up playing doorman at the Mails gate.

imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update changed the Mail version to 2.1. As a result, the keychain items used by Mail need to be updated in order for the new version of Mail to be granted access to them. The first time you launched Mail 2.1, it should have asked you whether you wanted to update your keychain. If you didn't do that for some reason, then Mail won't be able to access those items in the keychain now.
You can try to fix the problem in Keychain Access using the Access Control pane for each item, or just delete those items so that Mail creates them again.

I have to renew my password every time I want to sign in.

Please can you help - every time I want to log in to the discussion forums, I get a red message telling me my password has been incorrectly entered. I use the same password and I have to go through resetting it every time. Why could this be happening? Do I have a bug?

Hi Lindart,
Apologies if I was being presumptious in dismissing your issue as being a server-side problem without first going through the proper troubleshooting procedures. Just to let you know, your thread in the Safari forum is still active should you choose to post more information in the future.
All the best!

Every time I use my I pad it keeps popping up with enter my iTunes password. I have nothing waiting to download and not trying to purchase anything yet every time I want to listen to music or use my apps this happens. Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

Signing in with username and password every time I want to check emails on my PC using iCloud
Having convinced my parents to get rid of their old AOL account and sign up for iCloud to sync their new iPhone with their old PC running Windows 7, I thought I was on to a winner. All working OK but is there any other way to get into emails besides going on iCloud website and signing in with name and password everytime? Can it be set up as a Mail account directly like on a Mac? Or using Outlook or Entourage? Help! I'm not a PC person!!
ELF

If they have Win 7 or 8, and Outlook 2007 or newer then you can.
Just download the iCloud Control Panel for Windows. Install and select the services you want (Mail Contacts and Calendars will appear in Outlook)

Entering ITunes password every time it want to rent movie

I Have Apple TV 2nd generation. Every time I want to rent a movie or show I have to enter my password , even for purchases on the same day.
this started happening with the last software upgrade. What can I do to save my password for ITunes in Apple TV?

Hello rsaugust,
The option to save your Apple ID is selectable when signing into your Apple ID in Settings, as detailed below.
Sign in to the iTunes Store
From the main Apple TV menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store.
If your location and iTunes account already appear here, skip to the next section.
Select Location.
Scroll to highlight your location and select it.
Press the Menu button on the remote once to return to the previous screen.
Select Sign in.
Enter your Apple ID and password. If you don't have an Apple ID, create one using iTunes on your computer. (The password is case-sensitive.) Note: If your Apple ID is an AOL account, you'll need to convert it to work with Apple TV. If you need help converting your AOL account, please contact iTunes Store Customer Service.
Apple TV will give you the option to remember your password. Select Yes if you want to save the password.
Press and hold the Menu button to return to the main Apple TV menu.

TS2446 i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, what is the problem? what can i do ?

i have a problem in my account every time i want to install application from app Store on my iphone a message shows that my Apple ID has been disabled, i creat a new password and still that message shoes ,what is the problem ?can you help me please???!!!!

If your account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

Must I reconnect to my wireless network EVERY time I want to watch ATV?

This seems like basic stuff to me, but I can’t find an answer anywhere, short of calling the support line….so thought I’d try here first.
EVERY time I sit down to view my ATV, if I want to use it outside of what I have synced to it, i.e. in streaming mode for iTunes, YouTube, Flickr, etc. I have to re-connect to my wireless network, including having to input my password every time. Is this standard procedure, or am I neglecting to “save” my password somewhere? I would have assumed that since it’s never really turned “off”, that it should stay connected to my network, without having to reconnect every time. I mean, I don’t have to input my network password every time I want to browse the web using Safari on my iMac…..why do have to repeatedly do this with my ATV?
It’s rather inconvenient, especially if other family members want to use ATV when I’m not around, as my network password is confidential. (And while we’re at it – is there any way to input your password without showing it?)
Any help would be appreciated – thanks.

Question: have you installed the new Airport 2.0 software? If so, did the problem start after that?
I have had the same problem. A quick temporary fix -quicker than re-entering your password - is to unplug/replug the Apple TV. It should then rediscover the network: go to Settings:General: NW and see if it appears.
However, if we have the same problem, it won't hold the NW connection. It will lose it several times a day.
I bought an Apple TV the moment the came out a few years ago It always worked perfectly as a music and photo server, connecting wirelessly via Airport Extreme like you, the old round one]. Shortly after installing the software upgrade earlier this month, it lost its ability to see my home network or make an internet connection. After several hours trouble shooting with Apple, we were unable to correct this, and they concluded the ATV faulty and sent me a new one. The new one installed and connected perfectly, but after downloading the software upgrade [curiously the replacement unit had the old software] the new unit will not old an internet connection for more than an hour or so. I must unplug/replug the Apple TV to get it back, but it just looses it again in an hour or so. [NB: this is different than the issue which led to the replacement of the unit, as the original could not make a connection at all]. Now after several more hours of trouble shooting, Apple tells me the problem must be caused by magnetic interference from another system component, probably a loudspeaker. As I have had my current system configuration for 13 months, a sudden problem seems counter intuitive. Ia m now in process of re-locating the speaker six feet away to see if it solves the problem.
My son, A Berkely PhD EE and Computer Scientist, suggests that this could be caused by a bug in the 2.0 software, which is brand new and no doubt buggy. So I plan to re-set to 1.0 to see if that is the case.
I'll let you know!
I replaced the Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule the day before I installed the new ATV. Don't think the new TC is the issue as the old ATV went out wit the Airport Extreme.

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tell me that the file is being used even when it is not. How can I fix this issue?

Why can I not attach a document to an email? Every time I want to send an email with a document attached to it, an error notice pops out. It tells me that the file is being used even when iall other programs are closed. How can I fix this issue?

Thanks Jeff, I was not aware that a template could be multi-page. (All the existing templates were 1 page)
But it worked, saving me some steps. When I was finished I renamed the document, and locked it.
Then tried to save it but could not because it was locked. I closed it, went to my Spread Sheet Folder ,
to find it, it was not there. The Finder could not find it either.
So I start over again.
I opened up Numbers and it showed my personal Numbers template folder, it contained both my new
original 4 page template and the vanished saved document!
I tried to delete the template containing these document data and could not - I had to go to the Library/Application Support/Numbers to physically remove it from this folder. Then I started over again. I Finally found out how to make it work: I can now "save as", and then lock, and it will go to place where I want it to be saved and locked.
The secret is: Click on the document title in the menu bar, and it opens up "Save as...", which works the same as in OS 10.4.11, and you can pick the place you want for saving. Once done that, you can then lock the document in the same pull down menu, and then close it.
I also found later that I can delete a template from its folder, by letting Numbers open the templates,
clicking on the one I want to remove, then go to the "Numbers Menu/File/Move to...", select "Desktop"
and from there the selected template can then be thrown into the Trash from there.
It appears now that the real fault of the Numbers software is that the "Save as" command is not available in the "Edit" or "File" pull-down menus, but hidden behind the title of the document.
