Stop app store from requiring password
My 9 (going on 40 lol) year old niece just received an apple iPad Mini 2 for Christmas.
I have setup a user account for her linked via 'Family Sharing' to my personal account as the adult user.
Big, and almightily annoying problem.
She uses a good load of FREE gaming apps, many of the same she has previously been using on ANDROID devices, with absolutely no problem.
The fact that I am having to take the iPad from her every 12 - 20 minutes and re enter my administrative password is very, very, frustrating, and idiotic.
How do I stop this happening?
I live 60 miles away from my niece so can not have this happening all the time.
I cannot alter, simplify, or switch, passwords.
Simple put. I expect my niece to be able to
a> access her App Store.
b> search and select a FREE app as she knows to do.
c> install and use said app WITHOUT myself having to enter a ridiculously complex and unmemorable password ever 12-20 minutes.

It's built-in the system, so it is normal it tries to reinstall, no way to prevent it other than to fully disable updates.

Stop App Store From Installing iTunes?
Recently upgraded to Mavericks and keep uninstalling iTunes, though App Store continues to want to install it. How do I disable App Store from even checking if I have the latest version of it? iTunes is bloatware- unnecessarily large and I have no desire to have it on my system. Decibel and Play work perfectly fine for my music.
Any help?It's built-in the system, so it is normal it tries to reinstall, no way to prevent it other than to fully disable updates.

App store still requires password (with Touch id)
Hi there,
Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong here.
It just seems that the App store always asks me for my password even when I have touch id enabled.
It sometimes asks for the password and then the touch id? Is there a setting or something to allow me just to use the touch id?
Thanks,
PeteApps are permanently linked to the ID used to get them. If you need to update an old app, you need to use the ID linked to it.

Could Not Sign In to App Store from iPad
I am unable to sign into the App Store from both my iPad Air and my iPhone 4.
When I enter the password, the following error message appears:
Could Not Sign In
FATAL::Unable to process your request. Please try again.
I have reset the password via the Apple web site and can sign in to the web site with no issues. (evidnced by ability to post this).
I have reset the iPad and no change.
Get same error in iTunes Store.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
TimReset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

App Store now requires one-click?
has anyone else noticed a change that the app store now requires that you are using one-click rather than cart in iTunes? This happened when purchasing a "free" app from the store. Before I never had that message.
I noticed this after the iTunes 8 / FW 2.1 upgrade but until I am convinced of stability, I'm still running iTunes 7.7.0 + FW 2.0.1.Just an update: I've 'bought' some free apps by clicking the 'buy' button from the dialog box that explains about 1-click. It seems like it treats that purchase as a 1-click purchase (and if it hadn't been free my credit card would have been charged) but it doesn't change the setting in the preferences, so other purchases at the store can be bought using the basket.
Hope this helps. -
Discovering someone has accessed app store from my computer..?
Hi,
I just went on to the apple store to update some programs. When I clicked update, the window asking for my app store password popped up. Usually my email address is already filled in. Only this time there was some one elses email address there. You'll say it's not a problem, all i need to do is replace it. But how come someone else has connected to the app store from my macbook. No one has had access to my macbook, it's password protected. In addition the email address is (...)@mail.ru which is a russian website, everyone I know has nothing to do with Russia and can't speak russian.
Could someone have pirated my computer? What is going on?
Thanks,
Petehttps://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5261

how do i edit my billing info if my credit card associated with apple id expired and i have a duty to app store from the time when i had the old credit card?
so the thing is a few days ago i made an app store purchase and i didn't know i was running out of money on my credit card. i realized that only when i tried to purchase another item and it didn't work. nothing special til here. the problem is that meanwhile my credit card was replaced by a new one by the bank because the old one was soon expiring. So the data associated with the old credit card no longer exist.
i tried to edit my billing info associated with my apple id in order to enter the new credit card data, but the system doesn't allow me to do that.
so i can neither pay my purchase, nor edit my info, nor access app store anymore.
what's next? any ideas? thanksServers down wait till status is fixed to change or add your data http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
