TS1702 Apps asking for specific information before launch including apple I.D.??? Is this safe?
A recent app I downloaded named death rally was asking for specific details regarding my iTunes account including my password my name and childhood names which are common security passwords and it requires this information before the game will launch. Is this safe? If does not appear to be however since it is from apple is it not protected and secure to use?
Have you restarted your iPad or reset the device since you downloaded this game? Or even quit the game completely and restrt the iPad? I don't know if that would clear this issue up, but frankly, I just don't think that the game should be behaving like this. I have never heard of an app requiring multiple security questions.
Is this a Game Center game? I have a Game Center account, but other than a user name and password, I don't ever recall the game requesting security answers.

Additionally, I cannot find my address book listed on any toolbar. I also put in the address for a site that I have previously gone to and get a page that says that the address can't be found. The address is that of a library. I am not pleased.
I currently have a pop-up from Wal-Mart that I cannot exit. It will NOT disappear no matter what I click. I will have to close down the computer totally to get rid of it.

ITunes no longer asks for my password before making purchases or updating apps
iTunes no longer asks for my password before making purchases or updating apps... my restrictions are set so that is should ask for a password immediately but it doesn't seem to ask for this since iOS7... anyone got any ideas????
Try changing Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password to 'immediately'

My Mac Mail constantly asks for our passwords before opening our accounts. New iMac with OS x Maverick. We get messages such as " Mail can't connect. Appears to be offline due to network problems." or "The connection to the server (null) in port ) timed out." I have confirmed server connections OK with Cox Communication and our Cox Webmail accounts.
Hi Bob13524,
Man, that definitely sounds frustrating! And it sounds like this issue is occurring with several accounts, so let’s see if we can troubleshoot this. The following resource provides some great information for troubleshooting Mail issues, including information on using the Connection Doctor:

Why does my wife's calendar app ask for the password to my calendar account?
My wife and I used to have iPhone 4's. We each have a Google calendar, and we had our calendar apps set up so that each iphone would show both calendars. We never had any trouble.
Recently my wife and I switched to iPhone 5c's. Since then, whenever my wife tries to enter something into the calendar, the app asks for the password to my account. I don't have that problem on my phone. I'm pretty sure the phone apps are set up the same way. What gives?It is possible that those 2 calendars are syncing Google accounts and being shared. My friend shares her calendar with me and it shows up in my calendar.

I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email
If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password. Had to go to Outlook (ugh!) in order to work (this suck!). Please help!
Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

Apple TV 2 is asking for network time before I can purchase a movie? Even restarted it and still did the same thing.
How do you fix this? My wifi is operating 100% connected and I can access the Itunes Movies etc. How do I get it to work again?Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you've had it working previously, try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds, or a restore if the problem persists. -

When playing a podcast without a wifi access, the Podcasts app asks for celluar data access. This is even for podcasts that have already been downloaded and should not require streaming.If I do not provide cellular data access, then the podcast cannot be played.
Is there a way to play downloaded podcasts without cellular data?

Dear Technet,
Windows could not start the Cluster Service on Local computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 2.
My cluster suddenly went disappear. and tried to restart the cluster service. When trying to restart service this above mention error comes up.
even i tried to remove the cluster through power-shell still couldn't happen because of cluster service not running.
Help me please.. thank you.
Regards
ShamilHi,
Could you confirm which account when you start the cluster service? The Cluster service is a service that requires a domain user account.
The server cluster Setup program changes the local security policy for this account by granting a set of user rights to the account. Additionally, this account is made a member
of the local Administrators group.
If one or more of these user rights are missing, the Cluster service may stop immediately during startup or later, depending on when the Cluster service requires the particular
user right.
Hope this helps.

I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup. I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere. How do I get the password or change it?
If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password. I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this. Please help!
I have had this issue lately.
I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
That has solved it for me.
Hope this helps
