TS1702 why do i have to put in password for free apps
why do i have to put a password in for free apps
That's how it is. But really, do you want anyone who happens to get his hands on your iPad to download whatever? It's your account, and entering a password insures you are in control.

HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer
Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?
With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it. However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security. The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password. However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected. So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)! -
Why is my billing information not accepted even for free apps??
I have an iPhone 4S, and today I tried to update some of my free apps, but was asked to re-enter my billing information. I did, with the correct information, and know that I have money in that account, but the information was rejected and I am being asked to enter different billing information.
Sadly, I am only 17, and only have one debit card to use, so do not have the option of using a different card. I am stuck for what to do, as I'm certain I only have one Apple ID, and have never purchased any apps or downloaded any using anything but my phone and the account synced to that. The only thing that I've ever purchased is a few songs, which I put a little of my paycheque aside to do, so I know I have the money.
I would very much like this resolved, as I wanted to download done free organisation apps to help with my A Level studies.*some

Why is the verification of my appleid necessary for free apps
I do have to verify my applid account for the download of free apps . Is that really necessary?
Thanks, MelPaid, free, the system is set up to verify that the owner is the one using the account. Your Apple ID is encoded in every licensed copy downloaded with your account. It is part of the anti-piracy scheme.

Why do I have to change the password for my Apple ID every 3 months?
Until recently I assummed that everyone had to change their password every 3 months, but on searching the web I found only a couple of mentions of other people who have to do this.
My Apple ID was originally set up when I bought a Mac through my company (which was not a developer) from AppleStore Small & Medium Businesses in 2002. Perhaps all accounts set up that way in 2002 work like this?
The only solutions I can think of are:
a) Change something in my Password and Security settings, but I can't see anything relevant.
b) Move to a new Apple ID, but I think I would lose access to existing apps I have purchased?
c) Ask Apple to change my settings, but the response a developer with this problem got from Apple was: "I am unable to change the password requirements and restrictions for your Developer Account".
Anyone else have to keep changing their password?With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.

If you've never used this device with your account, it is most likely a security procedure to verify that it is you using the account on a new device and not someone else hacking your account.

I need to restore my sons ipod touch because he forgot his pswd. I can do thisby hitting restore in itunes, but it asks to backup first and my computer has no more memory to do the backup. Aren't all my itunes app purchases stored anyway? Why do I have to put this info onto my labtop?
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
HT201303 Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?
Why do I have to put payment verification in for free aps?
You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later. -
Why do i have a question mark instead of the app picture. It wont let me use the app either.
Why do i have a question mark instead of the app picture. It wont let me use the app either.
Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

Click the "down arrow" next to your name at the top right side of the page and click "Account." Enter your username and password and click "View Account" to log into your account information.

Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way!
Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way! Apple TV is not Apple anymore...
Primarily because those third party apps are just that, they are not Apple apps, and each have their own requirements for activation.

Hello, I just purchase Adobe Premier elements 12. I installed it but the only problem is when I try to open "new project" it tells me I have to put my password in and username for the first seven days of installation, but when I do that the project never opens, it just has the loading bar loading and then it stops, so I have no idea wat the problem is, please help
new project help
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements running on?
Have you gone through the typical drills of
1. Latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
2. Running program from User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as from Run As Administrator applied to the desktop icon
with right click of the icon, followed by selecting Run As Administrator?
3. Does problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Even though the Premiere Elements 12 Editor will not open, can you open the Elements Organizer 12?
If Yes to all of the above, please review the following for a possible solution...
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Premiere Elements 12 Editor Will Not Open
Please review and consider the above and then we can decide what next which might include trying to open
the program directly from the .exe files. (If Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, Local Disk C\Program Files\Adobe\
Adobe Premiere Elements 12\ and in the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Folder are the Adobe Premiere Elements 12.exe
and Adobe Premiere Elements.exe files. Double click the Adobe Premiere Elements .exe file to try to open the project.)
We will watching for your results.
