Repeatedly asking for apple password when adding security questions

when trying to download apps on ipod touch it asks me to choose 3 security questions (which i did 2 days ago when i first set it up )but when continuing to try and answer questions its repeatedly asks for apple password which i am entering correctly and doesnt seem to get any further and therefore i cant download apps.
Can anyone help?

I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.

  • Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

    I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
    I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
    Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
    My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
    This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

    Entered incorrectly?
    Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
    Reset Password is the next option.
    If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
    iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
    That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
    And to the comment
    [Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
    Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
    Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
    If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
    Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

  • Why does Intel version always ask for my password when adding loops?

    When I add loops to the PPC version, it never asks for my password. I want this behavior on the Intel version. Always asking for my password’s really annoying. Thanks very much. Peace.

    Being able to to access, install and change anything on your computer with a simple keystroke is just not a good thing security wise. Maybe you don't download from unknown sources, use a wifi network, use public or work networks, IM, let others use your computer or let OS and software get out of date. But people reading this may not be in your situation. Most password hacking tools will start with single keystrokes and no password will gain access in a fraction of a second.

    You have to log into your ID/account to redeem the give card.
    Have you logged into your account?
    Is the gift card for the same country you are located?

  • IBook no longer asking for a password when waking from sleep or screensaver

    My iBook was fine until I installed the Security Update 2006-002 via software update. After the "required" reboot (reboot #1) everything functioned as normal.
    On a subsequent reboot (#2) and several other reboots trying to correct the problem (#3-#5) I've found that my iBook no longer asks for a password when coming out of the screensaver, or when waking from sleep.
    Yes, I have checked the security pref panel every time and have ensured the checkbox is checked. I even Sudo'd the panel just to be sure.
    I downloaded the aforementioned security update and re-applied it. It corrected the problem during the same "required" reboot (#1), but after rebooting the computer a 2nd and 3rd time the problem has came up again.
    I wish my iBook wasn't sick! Thanks, I tried searching as best as I could to see if this is a repost.

    I don't have a specific fix but this generalized fix seems to take care of most problems for me. Download Cocktail, Onyx or MainMenu then run Rebuild Launch Services database, the maintenance (cron) scripts, clean all caches then Repair Permissions and restart.
    To test it don't keep restarting, that's extra wear and tear on the computer, just put it to sleep and wake it or log out then back in.
    If that doesn't work get Disk Warrior and rebuild the directory.
    And if that doesn't work do an archive and install then one big upgrade.
    But don't go past running one of those three utilities until you see if someone has a better fix for you. It might be as simple as trashing a preferences file.

  • HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

    Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
    Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

    Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.

  • I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app, big problem with kids

    I am no longer being asked for a password when downloading an app or music in iTunes, big problem with kids. How do I enable

    To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
    I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

    everytime i want to restore my previews backup to my new iphone, itunes asks for my password, when i enter my password it tells me my password is incorrect, but its not! i have even changed my password. but still nothing! I get the same error from itunes!!!!

    Try using your computer password. I tried any password I could think of relating to my phones, but it was none of them; it was, in fact, my computer password.

  • My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player and even with the hint I

    My mac keeps asking for a password when I try to install adobe flash player. Even with the hint I'm not getting it and also tried uninstall and the same thing occurred.

    It's referring to the MAC password that you have setup.
    A software prompts for a password only when there are restrictions set on the user account for unauthorised access to system files and folders.

  • My MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before.

    One of user's MacBook Pro is asking for a password, when trying to play DVD. Anybody experienced that before?
    Maybe the DVD itself is password protected, the user is travelling abroad.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi m,
    My guess is the DVD is from another region than the one the optical drive is set to. Region changes are limited to 5 total, so it asks for the admin password to make sure you want to do it/allow it. After #5, the drive is locked to that region forever.

  • I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

    I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one.  I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

    If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
    - Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
    - Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.

    Click here for information. If the option to have the answers emailed to you isn't available or doesn't work(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article.
    Without a rescue email address, you can't reset them yourself. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • I-phone repeatedly asking for apple I.D.password

    a month ago my phone began asking for a password for an i-cloud account
    connected to an email account that no longer exists
    i would just ignore it and go ahead with making my call or sending message.
    today it has begun freezing up AND my attempts to figure things out on my mac pro
    has led me on a question and answer exercise that just goes on an on leading me back to go.
    so i have a frozen phone, a lap top that just keeps asking for apple id's and passwords
    and i'm literally having panic attacks.
    (i purchased a good old fashioned phone so i can reach my son )

    I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID).
