What might cause this problem?

You may have an app that is trying to update or download that needs the password to continue... once you enter it it will time out so you don't have to worry about putting it in.
Enter it and it should store it for 15 minute only and after that time you'd need to enter it again to buy something.
Updates do not require password anymore but purchases do

Hello Tommythecat_nz,
I would check to ensure that the device is fully charged if you got the dead battery indicator. Let it charge for some time.

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen?

I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.

Apple TV is requesting payment verification constantly, even after it has been confirmed multiple times, why will this not stop?

Apple TV has gone off the deep end and is constantly asking me to re-verify my paymetn info... I do it time and time again and the message never stops. It pops up alomst anytime I do anything... When I first got the apple TV I only had to do this occasionally... Now it asks multiple times a day... Any idea on how to make this stop??? To the point that I will start using another streaming device soon...

I have been able to eliminate the Verification Required problem. I believe the thing that made the most improvement happened to be an OS update on the Mac where the home share lives, but it might also be the combination of trying many fixes. The Mac was already running the latest iTunes (10.7), but the my OS (OS X Lion, 10.7) was not patched all the way up to 10.7.5. I am not running Mountain Lion. My Mac is a Mini, 2 GHz Intel Core 2.
I applied the OS patches, after having changed my AppleID password (more complex) and payment method back and forth, and now with all of that done, the Verification Message has gone. I do, still, have the ATV saying it can't connect to the iTunes store frequently, but that message is not as frequent and as annoying as the constant Verification Required message. Note that my ATV showing the error message about "Can't connect to iTunes Store" is on Ethernet and I believe that there is a bug with the ATV update that pertains to Ethernet connectivity which is discussed in the Support Forums on other threads (one I can recall is MLB TV not working, look for MLB, Update, and Ethernet if you want to find that).
Summary of my personal experience to arrive at a fix for Verification Required:
iTunes on host Mac is up to date (10.7)
AppleID password is complex enough (it previously was not)
Payment method was changed away to another method and then re-established, re-confirmed to my Visa
Mac OS Lion was updated to latest patches, 10.7.5
Also, for what it's worth, my Mac is also on Ethernet and my switches are all new Linksys GB switches with the exception of my Linksys WiFi/Router which is only "switching" for WiFi users and connections off of the LAN to the internet.
Best of luck to all, here. This has been terribly frustrating, and lacking any official Apple participation or even clear, cut answers from the user community. I hope my experience helps someone. You may also contact me directly at my first name at my lastname dot com.
Sincerely,
Chris Adragna

What Would Cause This to Happen to the Display?

My 1 year + old iPhone 5 has recently developed this slight green tint of about 2mm surrounding all four sides of the display. The tint is most obvious when there is a white background, which there are plenty of in iOS 7. The touch screen still works great, though the green tint is starting to annoy me a little. Anyone else have the same thing on their iPhone 5? And any idea of why this would happen? Many Thanks.

If you truly believe it is a hardware issue, take it to Apple for evaluation. Regardless of warranty, they will look at the device. If it turns out to be a hardware issue, they will offer an Out of Warranty replacement, assuming the device has not been opened by someone other than Apple.

HT204368 I have a blueant Q2 bluetooth. Previously I had a Plantronics, and a Jawbone. All three headsets use up the battery in 4 to 5 1/2 hours. Actual talk time only about 5 to 10 minutes maximum. What might cause this.

My bluetooth battery dies in approx. 4 - 5 hours. it's supposed to have 5 hrs talk time, 100 hrs. standby. At the time it dies I've only used about 5 -10 minutes of actual talk time. This is the 3rd bluetooth that has done this. I could use some help here. Thanks.

Hi,
I don't have the same problem as you but I know how to conserve energy battery. Don't pay $49 extra service as it is a waste of money. They don't do much and most likely at last they will tell you to contact your carrier and worst of all you need to send in your phone to have it check out. It is a waste of time and they will give you a temporarily use phone that may not be a smartphone and worst of all you have to a fee and a deposit to use the temporarily phone. It is not fair. Don't you agree that the Carrier and Blackberry should pay for the issues? Why does the customer have to pay for it? It is not fair and there is no logic to it. the $49 is just for Blackberry to make more money to increase their bottom line in my opinion. What ever the reason it is, it just does not feel right for the customer to absorb the cost. Afterall, the customer did not cause the problem. Right? Then, why does the customer have to pay for an issue, which customer did not cause? why and why? It all comes down to one logical conclusion. Blackberry is not act on the Customer's best interest. To me, it seems like th bottom line and profits are more important than the customer needs. WRONG WRONG WRONG AND WRONG BELIEVE. Without the CUSTOMER, there is no BLACKBERRY. It is that simple.
Here is how:
1) Don't over charge the phone. Once the phone charge. Unplugg the the charger and let the battery drain until the last bar in yellow shows.
2) watching too much videos drain the battery. Be aware of it
3) Turn off all application you don't use, Facebook, Linked in for example. Just sign out.
4) Change the display intensity to minimum
5) vibration mode and call sound drains the battery quickly. Choose sound mode only.

My MacBook laptop will suddenly instruct me to shutdown. A black transparent message appears and instructs me to shutdown. Then when I reboot, it tells me to send the info to Apple. What is causing this to happen?

MacBook laptop suddenly posts a black transparent message on my screen in several different languages instructing me to shutdown the computer. After rebooting, another message appears instructing me to send the information to Apple. This has begun to happen on a regular basis. What is the issue?

That's a kernel panic. the cause can be a software conflict or a hardware problem, so it's not easy to say without more information what can be done.
Here is the Knowledgebase article which may help you diagnose the problem;

I'm trying to download the latest version of iTunes. I get an "SoftwareUpdate.exe - Entry Point Not Found error". Any idea what might cause this?

THe error box says procedure entry point not found....then a string of code that "could not be located in the SoftwareUpdateFiles.dll".
I'm try to update my software so I can sync my iPhone with my current iTunes library.
any help greatly appreciated.

Let's first try a repair install of your Apple Software Update.
In your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select Apple Software Update, click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Does the repair go through okay? If so, try another iTunes update. Does it install properly this time?

When I click the print button on a website, a separate window opens with nothing on it. What's causing this?

I have tried to print maps from google maps and the same thing happens each time.

Even though I can load the Netflix website, none of the movies will play. Netflix will, however, play in Safari. What might cause this?

When I play an instant view movie, I get an all black window with no loading cues. Window doesn't change.
Mac OS 10.6.8
Firefox V 9.0.1 (currently up to date)
Safari V 5.1.2
Silverlight (latest version, recently upgraded. Main problem started after upgrade)
Prior to upgrading to the latest version of Silverlight, the show I played skipped, the video was missing and the audio played, or the video just froze. This led me to upgrading the plug-in, after which I couldn't play anything in Firefox.

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache/ Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
-> Video or audio does not play
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Video_or_audio_does_not_play
Check and tell if its working.

When loading certain websites the text appears funny and I get these strange large black page breaks. Does anyone know what might cause this?

Here's a screen cap of what I normally see: http://i41.tinypic.com/4tq52a.jpg
I can see websites that appear like that on Chrome as they should appear, but for some reason Firefox gives me all of that mess. It happens a lot on blogs, if that makes a difference. Also, I tried disabling my add-ons, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?

That is a font problem. Firefox can't find the font and shows little boxes with the hex code instead.
Try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

All my title bars (very top of the page) show up in Chinese characters after I've been online for awhile. What is causing this? I've never activated anything in Chinese; this makes me nervous. Is this a virus? My virus scanner is not showing any problems.

I never have noticed this problem until about 2-3 weeks ago & it occurs after I've been online for awhile. When I click through my open tabs, each of them is written in distinctly different Chinese, as if it's translating what ordinarily would have been in English. I have been using Firefox on this computer for over a year, never have had this issue before and have never done anything to activate any translation function.

I want to download apps but my apple id passwords keeps popping up and its annoying. How do i stop that?

How do i stop the apple id password from popping up when i want to download apps ?

You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.
