Suddenly being asked to log in to the Itunes store when using an app

When I turned on my IPad this morning I found that when I opened an app the "Sign in to ITunes Store" request came up. This seems to happen with all of the non-native apps I have on my device. It does not affect any of the native IPad apps (Safari, Calender, Camera, FaceTime etc.) I am reluctant to type in my password given the fact that this happened suddenly (the device was working normally yesterday) and only affects the non-native apps. I have not downloaded any new apps. I upgraded to IOS 8.3 several weeks ago without any ill effects. I have an IPad mini 2. Has this happened to anyone else.

Were the apps on your iPad purchased with the same Apple ID you are currently logged in with?
Try logging out of the App Store then logging back in.
Settings->iTunes & App Store-> tap your Apple ID & sign out.  Sign back in & see if that resolves the issue.
Also check for any pending downloads (stuck apps in waiting)/purchased music....this has also been known to cause odd login request behaviour.
Hope this helps!

    Ok, you should generally only get this when you are converting your ID to an iTS account for the first time.
    Sign into iTunes with your Apple ID and you should get this.... IRC once you agree or accept it's now an iTS account and you wont get that again.

  • Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

    Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

  • "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when using WiFi and Cisco VPN

    hi
    I'm on iPhone software 2.0 and have a connection to the internet via WiFi and VPN (using the integrated Cisco client). Everything works fine (Safari, Mail, mobileme push of contacts and calendars) but the iTunes Store and the App Store won't. While the App Store keeps spinning the iTunes Store says "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". Has anyone else experienced a similar phenomenon?
    thanks

    We're having the same issue. App Store and iTunes do not work when all traffic is tunneled over VPN. Yet, other applications like Safari, New York Times reader, Telnet, etc... work perfectly fine over VPN. If we have the iPhone switch over to using split tunneling VPN mode, then the App Store and iTunes work since they do not appear to be sending traffic over the VPN tunnel. I can say for certain that no outgoing traffic is being blocked on the VPN servers since I administer those servers. I also did a packet capture on the iPhone wireless session and it appears that the App Store sends traffic over the regular HTTP port. So it really doesn't make any sense from a VPN perspective why Safari would work but not the App Store or iTunes when you're tunneling all traffic over VPN. Our iPhones are using the latest firmware (5F136). If anyone has any update, please do share.

  • IPad Mini iOs 8.1:  STOP ASKING ME TO LOG IN TO THE ITUNES STORE!!!

    Keeps asking me on the iPad, not on my other iOS devices.

    Hi iKLutzSupreme,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are being prompted repeatedly to sign into the iTunes Store on your iPad. That does sound frustrating, and I'd recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
    First, make sure you are signed out of the iTunes Store on the iPad:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes App Store.
    Tap your Apple ID and tap Sign Out.
    These steps came from this article:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    Next, force close the App Store and iTunes Store if they are open, using these steps:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    Next, turn your iPad off and on again:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    After your iPad restarts, sign into the iTunes Store again and see if the issue is resolved.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • I have the first IPad and I tried to download a free GPS. It said I had to log in to the iTunes Store on my computer. How does that help?

    Tried to down load GPSLite .  It said Unable to Download App.  It said I ned to log in to the ITune Store on my computer. How will that help?

    Assuming you have an iPad wi-fi+3G, were you connected to an available wi-fi network when attempting to download the application?
    Regardless, installing such a large app on your iPad is probably best via the iTunes sync process which might be required with such a large app.

    My iPod wont connect to the iTunes Store when I am about to get an app when I go to enter my password it says it can't connect to iTunes Store. What do I do?

    Don't worry a lot of people, including me, are having this problem.  I think it's a problem going on at Apple's end, hopefully it will be up soon.

    why do I see the message "This apple ID has not yet been used in the itunes store"when I enter my password in app store or itunes?

    Look at the options for payment methods.  Is there an option that says "None?"
    The short answer for this and for your next question is, "Read what the iPhone is telling you."
