Repeatedly prompted for air play password?

At work I am repeatedly prompted to enter a password for Air Play though I've never even setup an Air Play password. This just started happening to me recently and is random.....some days it never pops up and days like today It's popped up multiple times. Very frustrating.

Hello leavitt050,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your device.
Force an app to close in iOS
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5137
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1430
If you're still getting prompted for an AirPlay password, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on

Repeated prompts for Apple ID password in iTunes

I can sign in to iTunes with both of my Apple ID's but then get repeated prompts for my password when I attempt to access purchased items or account information. No similar problem on my Mac Book Pro or iPad.
I have de-authorized and re-authorized the computer for both ID's. I also looked for the SC folder but it cannot be found (Apple advises trashing it). I therefore have no access to recent purchases or my own account information. Help anyone?
Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite, 10.10.1

You may need to do a credit card "update" in your account. Apparently "it" needed a re-verify because I had accessed my apple account from another computer. Did so and it worked. Apple is opaque in many ways and it was totally unhelpful as it just kept rejecting my good password with no explanation.

[Maybe solved] Repeated prompts for username and password on HTTP(S)

I'm new to IOS but I'm taking ICND 1 and ICND 2 to catch up. I've gone as far as configuring a 3560 switch from "scratch" in a test environment, and am in part one of ICND 2.
Setting this switch up for HTTP administration, I've been prompted repeatedly for my username and password both when using a browser directly and when using Cisco Network Assistant (currently 5.5). This is different from the production switches I'm working with, that will prompt me once only and let me work. At first I suspected this was because I'm trying to use SSL and an in-house certitficate authority to sign the switch's certificate, but this is happening in plain HTTP as well. If I'm persistent enough, I eventually get the pages or configuration screens I want.
The difference between the production 3560s and my testing one, is the test one uses IOS 12.2(53), the current version. The production ones use 12.2(25)SEE3 through 12.2(35)SE5 and probably everything in between. I'm also experimenting with the releases that includes the web-based device manager on my test switch, but the behaviour is similar whether the image has the web-based manager or not.

In an update to this problem, I've reverted the switch I've been testing back to 12.2(35)SE5, which is what the majority of my production 3560s use. It appears to behave in the same fashion: Repeatedly asking for credentials over HTTP(S).
While my non-production switch has a local user database set up, my production switches use two ACS servers. The relevant bits of the running config are:
aaa new-model
aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
server 10.1.2.221
server 10.1.2.222
aaa group server radius mcbhradius
server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa session-id common
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server directed-request
radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
Another switch that does work without repeated prompting has these relevant bits:
aaa new-model
aaa group server tacacs+ mcbhtacacs
server 10.1.2.221
server 10.1.2.222
aaa group server radius mcbhradius
server 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
server 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646
aaa authentication login default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa authentication login LOCALAUTH local
aaa authorization exec default group mcbhtacacs local
aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure
aaa accounting exec default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 1 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting commands 15 default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa accounting system default start-stop group mcbhtacacs
aaa session-id common
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.221 key 7 [censored]
tacacs-server host 10.1.2.222 key 7 [censored[
tacacs-server directed-request
radius-server host 10.1.2.221 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server host 10.1.2.222 auth-port 1645 acct-port 1646 key 7 [censored]
radius-server source-ports 1645-1646
10.1.2.221 and 10.1.2.222 are the ACS servers, running ACS 4.1 and are linked to a pair of Active Directory domain controllers.
Aside from host names, these two switches appear to have an identical AAA configuration. So why would the first switch repeatedly ask for credentials over HTTP when the second switch with the same software does not?

I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for calendars

I'm getting repeated prompts to enter my password, but only for iCal. In iCal I see an alert, and when I bring it up I get this:
My other iCloud functions seem to be working fine. I'm iMessaging, etc.

I've seen a couple reports on here, and mine has been down for an hour or more. However, as usual there is no indication of issues on the iCloud status page.

Why does iOS prompt repeatedly ask for Apple ID password?

Dear Apple Support Community,
Device: iPad 4th Generation (64GB WiFi + Cell/LTE)
iOS Version: Latest version at time of publish - 6.1.3 (6.1.4 is iPhone specific)
SITUATION: I am prompted for Apple ID password every time I access App Store or iTunes. Typically, this should only be required to confirm purchase(s) or if password has "timed out" between purchases.
Additional Information: I suspect this is associated with Pre-ordered Movies and Music. This was experienced only after Pre-orders on all versions of iOS 5 and 6.
Thanks in advance for your help, guidance, and coaching a "Technoid."

Michael,
Thank you for proposing a solution. However, it appears my restrictions are "Off". Your thoughts appreciated.

Any help appreciated!!

Preview and print a Crystal report prompted for the sa password

Dear All,
Our customer has Crystal report add-on to be installed. When we Preview and print a Crystal report, we got a window prompted for the sa password. Even we type in a correct password, it still says wrong password...
Every time when I open my report in Crystal Basic 2008 on the server, then go database expert >> My connections >> click + in front of the connection name, it asks my sa password. I type in my password then save and close. Next time when I open the report and go my connections, I have to type in my password again. This only happens on one customer.
Any idea? Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Yuka

Hi Yuka,
1) All their SAP client workstation, they have to have use SQL2008 CD and install SQL Client on it
Correct, MS does NOT support MDAC or WDAC when connecting to SQL 2008.
2) Then go ODBC >> SQL Native Client 10.0 >> Create a new connection to SAP server. Should we use sa user or another use that has the same authorization as sa?
Correct again if they are also using ODBC to connect, as for using the sa account or creating a new one is up to you. I suggest creating a Crystal account with what ever rights your app needs, this way if tracing it turned on etc. you can confirm who is actually running the report.
3) Then from MY Crystal report, I have to use ODBC connection as well?
Just to clarify, if you created your reprots using OLE DB then they can do so also. But you need to update your connection properties. Open each report click on Database, Set Location, scroll down to OLE DB and expand and then choose MS SQL Server Native 10 as your OLE DB provider, fill in all the logon info and then verify the database. Do the same for each subreport also.
Save your report and either send them the new one or if you are doing this remotely then replace the original report.
VERIFY your reports to confirm they still return correct data and do work as expected.
Or if you are using ODBC then yes you do select the MS 10 driver with a new DSN. Then do the above to update the reports to all use ODBC as their data sources.
Hope this is all clear now....
Thanks again

Micrsoft Outlook somtimes prompting for username and password

I Have Exchange 2010 sp3 installed two mailbox servers & two HUB & CAS Servers and Outlook sometimes prompting for username and password .
how can fix it .
Thank you

Hi,
Please check the following points:
1. Does the issue happen to your external users or internal users?
2. For all users or some specific users?
If the issue happens to internal users, please configure the authentication in Outlook Security tab with Negotiate Authentication to have a try.

Network printers prompting for username and password

With the more recent OS upgrades I can now see my printers on my home network. Very cool. When I select one to print, I am prompted for a username and password. I have tried my network keys with no luck and cannot set a password on my printers. Is this unusual and if not, what should I be using?

You can try to take a fiddler trace in both scenarios and then search for the differences. This issue seems to be related with your network configuration that with the product itself.
In fiddler you can identify what verb is requesting for credentials and from there you can go further with troubleshooting.

Prompting for username and password for opening

Hi,
The domain of my organisation is xyz.com. So when try to access any office doc from the office network it opens the office docs without any prompt in office client. But whenever try to access them using VPN or citrix it asks for the username and password.
Then if I give credentials or cancel it irrespective of that it opens the doc for me.
The sites are in trusted zone. It is happening for 2010 and 2013 both. But for pdf it is not prompting.
Why it is asking for credentials and how to mitigate this so that it opens directly from everywhere.

Outlook 2013 on Windows 8.1 keeps prompting for username and password.

Hi,
I have a HP Pavillion TouchSmart laptop with MS Windows 8.1 OS. I had installed MS Outlook 2013 Standard. This laptop is joined to the domain like many of my users, however, it keeps prompting for username and password. The emails are still able to send
and receive without any problem.
I have tried to check the connectivity, both cables and wireless are well connected.
I have tried to reinstall the Outlook 2013, but it still occurs.
Attempted to recreate profile but it still occurs.
For the configuration:
I have selected negotiate authentication, and have unchecked the box that states
"Always prompt for login credentials"
Please advise.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately the iPad 1 does not support mirroring. Mirroring is only supported on the iPad 2 or better or on the iPhone 4S.

Word 2010 prompts for username and password when opening a document on trusted website

Hi Guys,
We have a website (not sure if the site is a sharepoint site) on our trusted domain that asked for username and password when trying to access it. I added the site to our trusted sites zone and this resolved the issue however when I try to open word documents
I get prompted for usernames and password again if I cancel the credentials box the document opens with no issues.
Below is some of the steps i have taken
- Tried opening other non office documents (e.g. PDF, JPEG) and they open with no issues
- Tried to opening the word documents with a system that only had word pad install and not Office 2010 and the documents open with no issues so it looks like it's an office 2010 problem
Can you please advise how I can resolve this issue and if this is a client issue or an issue on the web server thanks

Hi,
This issue is caused by the Office suit itself. When Internet Explorer opens an Office document, the appropriate Office application is started with the path of the document. The Office application then tries to access the document directly from
the server. This differs from other browsers and other file types. Most browsers download the file and call the application to open the file from the local cache. However, when this occurs, if the opened file is changed and saved,
the changes are only made to the local copy and not to the server copy.
To establish the richest experience possible, the first thing that the Office application does is communicate with the server to determine the server type and what web authoring protocol is available. The application does this by making
an OPTIONS request directly to the server.
As a new process accessing the server, the Office application is required to renegotiate authentication. This method is more secure than a method in which the new process uses an existing authentication that was established by the browser.
Please try the following methods:
An alternative with full functionality but with a calculated risk
Client approaches that can reduce the impact
Alternative configurations when the web server does not support DAV or reduced functionality is acceptable
