Since upgrading to iOS 6 I am not getting prompted for my password when I update apps. Why is this?

When I updated apps on my ipad2 and iphone4S I used to get prompted for my password within a certain time.  So I could update a couple and then 10 minutes later if I wanted to download or update something else I would need to put in my password again. Since I upgraded to iOS6, I don't believe I am prompted for my password the same amount of times. I updated an app this am after not using iPad through the night and it just updated, no password required. This has me concerned now because sometimes I bump buttons by accident and now I will be charged for these accidents. What has happened to Apple's brilliant security?

They've changed it in iOS and updates (and updates ONLY) do not require a password since it is really unnecessary as they have it on record that you were the one who bought the app. Why is more security needed, you aren't going to be charged for anything?
Next time you update and app go to the App Store and try to buy something. You will be asked for your password.

  • Not getting prompt for 2nd layer when writing DLT

    I am using DVDSP3. Trying to write a dual layer DVD-9. When I attempt to format it goes through the motions and writes both layers onto 1 tape. IFrom what I have read I am supposed to be prompted for the second tape. I have double checked my settings and they are all correct. I have marked for dual layer, one side, I let DVDSP set my breakpoint, 12 cm, OTP.
    I have searched the forum and found that the question was posed before and a couple of people alluded to the fact that there was a fix for this but they couldn't remember. Does anyone know anything about this?
    Thanks in advance

    Resolution- Either I just need a couple of days off or the drive was just being cranky but it is working now. I don't know if I turned things on in the wrong order before or what exactly made it work correctly but as we speak I am writing tape #2. So if anyone has this problem in the future make sure your tape is in securely and try powering everything back down and up. That's all I did.

  • 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.

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

    Well I have checked all the logs and there are no errors.  What I have found out is that it successfully runs but there is 0 ouput, in essence it isn't exporting any data.
    Here it shows that it completed successfully but in the export directory there isn't data when there should be.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • 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.

  • Hey gang, since upgrading to iOS 6 my unlock swipe stays frozen for several seconds longer than normal, is there a fix?

    Since upgrading my ipad to iOS 6 my unlock swipe key stays frozen for much longer than before, is there a fix?

    First try Resetting it: Hold down the sleep and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    If that does not work restore it from your backup in itunes.

  • I am missing my saved passwords and I do not get prompted to remember passwords since downloading a recent update, why?

    I use AOL mail and saw a banner for a supported firefox download and I made the mistake of downloading the update. Since I have none of my saved passwords and I do not get a prompt when I enter a site for the choice to save the password. I am looking to change to Google Chrome if this cannot get corrected.

    I encountered precisely this problem after the first upgrade to iOS 8, also on a 5s: empty Recents lists, failure to log any calls and a badge showing a -1 (minus 1).  It appears to be a problem with corruption of the iPhone backup file, whether backed up to the computer or to iCloud (I tried both).  Whether it was introduced by the iOS 8 upgrade process is open to speculation as I'd had no problems with restoring from backup with a couple of prior iOS 7 updates.
    Restoring the iPhone to Factory settings solves the problem, but then restoring from a backup re-introduces it.  Setting the device up as a new phone is the only way to fix it.  Problem is, you lose your contacts and SMS history, unless you've used a third-party app to back them up outside iTunes.  If that's no problem, simply do a Factory Restore then set up the phone as new and the problem is gone.
    If it is a problem (it was for me), I found two apps that enable you to back up & subsequently restore Contacts & Messages.  Syncios is free and worked like a charm for getting my Contacts backed up & restored to the phone.  However, it can only back up & restore Messages if the device is jailbroken.
    This phone was not JB'd so I had to find another app for Messages: Backuptrans iPhone SMS Backup and Restore.  It is $19 for up to 3 devices but was worth it in my case; creates a backup file on your computer that you can restore from after the Factory Restore.  Very simple & straightforward.
    The photos, apps & music, etc., were easily restored to the phone via iTunes sync.
    Hope this is of help to others similarly affected.  Must be relatively rare, though, as even the Senior Apple Advisors I worked with had not encountered it before.  I made them aware of this thread, FWIW.

  • Internet says it is connected, even ticked but will not browse or recieve messages or email after update. Why is this? How can I solve it? Im DESPERATE!!!

    I recently updated to 10.7 Mountain lion but i cannot browse anything any more. No email or imessage or anything but it says i am connected with a tick next to the network not just at the top. Any ideas why. It worked on 10.6!

    Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

  • Since upgrade to iOS 4 Safari does not remember Wi-Fi auto-login passwords

    On the university campus where I work the public WiFi wireless network requires you to enter your university username and password. A login screen pops up in a special Safari window and asks for this information shortly after the iPhone connects to the access point and the DHCP server gives it an IP address.
    After entering the info the first time Safari asks if I want it to remember the information. In iPhone OS 3.1.3, when I tapped Yes, it would actually remember the information and autofill it on subsequent visits. In iOS 4 it asks, and I say Yes, but it never remembers or autofills.
    I suspect this is just a regression defect that we can't do anything about (other than complain, which I've done and I encourage others to do too if it's not just me), but I might as well ask, has anyone else noticed this, and is there a fix or workaround?
    Complain here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    It's not just you - I've got exactly the same problem. I use a university network, and I've always needed to log in every day, but now (since iOS4) my iPhone doesn't remember the ID and password. Every time I re-type the data, it asks me "Do you want to remember this?", and I say yes, and I've been doing that every day... and it still refuses to remember.
    Very annoying.

  • Since upgrading to FF 7, I do not get pictures in my e-mail (earthlink).

    Prior to the upgrade, I was receiving pictures in my e-mail
    correspondence which uses earthlink mail. Will this be corrrected?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • After upgrade I no longer get prompted for a password to get out to the internet. It just won't connect.

    After upgrade to 28.0 the initial password request, needed by the company firewall, is never popped up. Any site I try to connect to will timeout. I tried all existing passwords, and even completely removed and reinstalled Firefox. Still no prompt. If I open Internet Explorer I can get a password prompt there, and after I enter it I'm good with my firewall for the day, so I know the firewall is still acting the same way as before. I'm set to remember passwords, and my homepage is set to open http://www.google.com. So that's the site that used to hold the firewall login ID and password. Any ideas?

    A firewall should never require a password, only a proxy would require such an authentication.
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Since upgrading to iOS 6, none of the sounds are working. I checked to make sure the volume is turned up and that sound is on. But nothing, except the phone ring works when I get a call n

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, sound is not working on my iPhone 4S. The phone ring works but nothing else, including Siri.

    My wife's phone had similar symptoms, at least with the text notification alert not working.  I have narrowed it down to happening after we use the new navigation feature in the Maps.  When we power the phone off and back on, the alert sound seems to return.  I haven't tried just "killing" the Maps app after we use it...perhaps that would work as well.
