Turn off or save AppStore password prompt

Hi there,
Every time I download something from the AppStore I am prompted for my password, even if it's a free app. Is there a way to have my iPad remember this password?
Thanks for the help

What real world are you taking about, Matt?
If you can save the same password for iTunes, but not for AppStore, that's just misleading.
Safari lets you save your passwords for banking online, but if you want to download a free game (even with no creditcard information saved to appleid-account) you have to enter a password.
That leads to changing your password to smth simple and easy-to-type, i.e. lowering your security level.
Everyone admits that this time Apple had a wrong design decision on that would be better for the user (like with those annoying popup messages on iOS), the problem is – it's not getting fixed.

  • Turning off power saver temporarily.

    Is there a way to let the computer know I want to turn off power saver(dimming the screen then turning the display off) when watching DVDs? I seem to remember it was automatic with an older version of DVD player. Also is the solution applicable to VLC?

    Yes, but I have to do this every time I want to watch something with either of those programs. I'm sure the old version automatically overcame this problem. At the moment I have to keep moving the mouse or touching the keyboard every few minutes.

    then under Device there is sound, display, storage, battery, apps.
    then under Personal there is accounts & sync, Backup assistant plus, device setup, location services, security, language & input, Privacy.
    then under system there is date & time, ptinter settings, accessibility, developer options and about phone.
    Im not finding anything that says data manager, I went into the battery section, nothing there. ugh this is so frustratiing, every time I take a picture the number there increases but nothing happens.

  • Does turning off energy saver include never letting the display to sleep? A warning alerts me that its life might shorten... Thanks!

    (I'm doing this for the recalibrating of the battery etc...)

    It would shorten it's life if you leave it on year 'round. For the amount of time to calibrate the battery won't hurt it.

    Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility and wipe the HD. Quit DU and restore the OS. On first boot, migrate properly, using the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • How do I turn off screen saver whilst running time machine backup?

    My hard drive failed today when my MacBook Pro took a tumble from the sofa.
    I have replaced it and am trying to restore from a time machine backup.
    I have to use the snow leopard installation disc that came with the machine, once I get into disk utility I can format the new drive and select restore from time machine backup.
    This all runs great until the screen saver kicks in, normally around 1% into the restore. This crashes the restore and gives me the grey screen of death, it's done it four times now.
    Is there anyway to disable the screensaver? Or will I need to install snow leopard first and then software update and then restore from backup once I can turn off the screen saver in system properties.
    I paid a lot of money for the time capsule and having these issues the first time I truly need it is disconcerting.

    Hi Mewnor,
    Is there anyway to disable the screensaver?
    This might help you if your computer is running Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.3). I can not help you if your computer is running Snow Leopard.

  • Apple must allow only owner can turn off iPhone by his password. Otherwise the thief can turn off the phone and run away, owner can not trace him.

    I lost my iPhone 5 months ago. The thief just turned off my iPhoen and ran way. Even I set password for my iPhone but he can turn it off and of course I can not trace my iPhone by using FIND MY iPHONE. Apple should consider this situation. Thanks

    Tell Apple.

    If you need to restore your phone but can't turn off Find My iPhone, you'll have to force it into recovery mode in order to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

  • The wifi on my iPod is turned off to save battery when not in use. I changed my password, but when I changed it, I must have mistyped it. I cannot restore my iPod, connect it to iTunes, or wipe it, as far as I've tried, and cannot contact Apple, HELP??

    HELP?!?! I'm really frustrated! I tried connecting it to my iTunes on my computer, and it said I have to unlock the device for that to work.... and I don't know the password... :/

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode first before connecting to iTunes as this will allow you to bypass the passcode.  See this article for instructions on getting the iPod into recovery mode.

  • I cannot turn off the save passwords setting

    Each time I restart firefox, the security option for "Remember passwords for sites" is enabled. I uncheck it and click ok and it is fine, until I restart Firefox. This has been going on for a week.

    I load firefox in safe mode and still have the same problem. I tried changing the setting in about:config and that does not work. I renamed the default profile and created a new one, same problem. I moved the prefs.js file to another folder and let firefox create a new one. I changed the setting and restarted FF and it came back on.
    Please help.

  • How do I turn off the "reading untagged document" prompt?

    Assume this is a new feature added in one of the multitude of updates that I get prompted for?  All of sudden today, everytime I open a PDF file from an email, I get the "Reading Untagged Document" pop up that's telling me my document is "untagged and must be prepared for reading".  Uhhhh, no it doesn't because I can read.
    thanks..

    There is no way to turn them off as Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, assumes everyone wants to see this as it's part of Assessibilty.
    That said, there is a work around, but it involves removing or renaming files in the Adobe install directory.  Basically you want to remove or rename the following files:
    <your_adobe_installation_path>\Reader\plug_ins\Accessibility.api
    <your_adobe_installation_path>\Reader\plug_ins\MakeAccessible.api
    <your_adobe_installation_path>\Reader\plug_ins\ReadOutLoud.api
    The easiest method is to create a "backup" folder somewhere (it can be in the Reader folder) and simply move those 3 files there.  The benefit for this is Adobe Reader runs a lot faster and the annoying document preparation is disabled.  Why Adobe doesn't allow users to disable these through the preferences is beyond me since that's the first thing I think everyone does after installing Adobe Reader.

  • Macbook turns off. Date & time, passwords...

    So, today I unplugged my Macbook for the first time in about a week and the battery drained to about 60% and my Macbook shut off. I tried to turn it back on but it didn't work until I got it back onto the charger. When I turned it on, it started up fine but it told me that the date and time was reset to a time before 2008 and it had forgotten my internet password.
    I bought the Macbook in January of 2010, so it's faily new.
    HALP?!

    Sorry! I'm new at this. >_<

  • How can I turn OFF my Yahoo email password from Firefox memory. since it was hacked last week.

    Some time ago I let Firefox remember my Yahoo email username and password. Last week someone hacked into my Yahoo email account and used my email address list to send out lots of yucky spam to them. I have changed my Yahoo password, but now, just for safety's sake, I want to have that password blank whenever I sign in. How do I toggle the Firefox memory OFF so that it doesn't remember my new Yahoo name and password? I would prefer to log that name and password in myself from now on.

    I'm back on Firefox 13.01 and the webmail and Yahoo Home page appear to be sorted.
    From another similar problem, I learned that going into Tool/Options - Network Settings, and changing the proxy setting from AutoDetect Proxy to Use System Proxy, or No Proxy gets rid of the password pop-up problem.
    I've been using 13.01 for the last 10 minutes or so, with Yahoo as my home page, and I've ended and started FF five or six times, and each time, my it went straight to my homepage without requesting a password. E-mail looks to be working fine as well.

  • How to turn off asking to remember passwords each time I open a site

    Where do I go into 'Tools' to reset Firefox site password manager to 'off'. I don't want to be asked to have a particular site password saved.

    If you disable the Firefox Password Manager then you shouldn't get the pop-up to remember passwords.
    *Tools > Options > Security: Passwords: [] "Remember passwords for sites"
    You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-manage-website-permissions
    If you do not keep such settings then it is possible that an extension is interfering.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
