Updates not installing and iPhone not asking for password

Hi - over the past day or so on my iPhone 4 on the apple store app I have 12 updates. When I click 'download all apps' the iphone doesn't ask for my password as it usually did, but just goes away as if it is installing the updates.....but doesn't - I still have 12 updates to download !!!
I then logged on to my laptop and itunes, but cannot find where on the APP tab there is any mention of updates. Please tell me what I should do ?
I have rebooted the phone a couple of times, but no difference.

further to my last - on looking at the apps in question - it has 'installing' sort of greyed out in the background.....but they have been 'installing' for the past 24 hours or more ! when usually it only takes a few mins, and there is no active working ring on the top bar to signify that things are being downloaded. All other things appear to be working i.e. if I download an actual app etc.

Surely the current ID and Password would work . Anyway I will see how I get on with the Device Password.
No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

I'm installing the new OS and iPhone is asking for a password to "restore" my iPhone, but I've never used a password for the phone and don't know what it is!

You selected Encrypt iPhone Backups in iTunes. Then you entered a password.
It would be that specific password it is asking for.

Sir, Thank you very much for your prompt response. I have already done this. But the problem is still persisting. Actually, I want to upgrade my WhattsApp application and as soon as I click the upgrade button in App Store, it asks for the password of previous apple i.d., which I don't have as I have bought this phone from somebody. There is no option for log out or log in. It there any other way out to upgrade the WhatsApp ????

Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
2. Connect USB cable to computer, leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPad
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

My iphone does not ask for password for itunes

Ever since I installed ios 6 to my 2 iphone 4's. It does not ask for a password to download games or make purchases. I have a 5 year old son who can now purchase at will, how do I reset or fix that? Where is my security?

Thanks for letting me know. I never even checked to see if it was configurable.
Edit: I don't see where you can turn enable or disable the requirement for a passcode for udates? Can you tell me where to find it? The path you referred to only seems to relate to purchases.

Iphone will not ask for password for mifi networkn

My iPhone 4 will not ask for network password for Verizon MIFI network. Macbook & iPad both asked for password.

Go to Settings > General > Cellular > Setup personal hotspot on the iPhone. Is there a place for a password? Do you have the password stored in the iPhone but not in the MacBook and iPad? Check these settings and see if there is a fix for it. Otherwise, this might be something that can only be addressed by your carrier (Verizon).

You can guess the passwoard. That is all you can do.
You can enter the router etup and change the password. You may have to rese the whole router. Look at/download the manual for the router to find out how to do that.

Application Server Control does not ask for password

Hi all-
I just installed App Server (as part of Collaboration Suite) and am working on security. For some reason, the App Server Control for the apps tier does not ask for a username/password. Anyone know how to fix that glaring hole? Infrastructure does ask for user/pass, just not apps.
Thanks!
Rob

I had to clear authenticated sessions AND cookies (in Firefox). Clearing only one or the other isn't enough.

Guest password is turned on Cisco Connect but not asking for password when joining network.

I just set my wireless modem and i had applied a password for the guest wifi signal and turned it on. But when you join the network its not asking for the password. What do i do to fix this?

When you connect to the Guest network, you wouldn’t be asked for a password. The guest password would only be prompted once you open your internet browser.

Gsmartcontrol polkit problem: Not asking for password anymore [solved]

polkit 0.112-2
polkit-gnome 0.105-2
gsmartcontrol 0.8.7-4
DE: LXDE
When trying to use gsmartcontrol as normal user it does not ask for permission anymore but starts and the drives are shown as 'unknown model' now.
The polkit-gnome-authentication is autostarted at boot and works fine with gparted e.g.
But with gsmartcontrol I get:
polkitd[356]: Operator of unix-session:c1 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.archlinux.pkexec.gparted for unix-process:1126:101937 [/bin/bash /usr/bin/gparted_polkit] (owned by unix-user:user)
How can I get gsmartcontrol working again as normal user?
SOLUTION:
Use '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol_polkit' instead of (de)fault '/usr/bin/gsmartcontrol' in your starter.

Hello,
I sometimes have the same problem, but there's a secure way to overcome this behaviour : when you have finished your purchases, simply go to "configuration" and "store" folder where you'll simply deactivate your account. It's the safest way, sure.
When you wish to access appstore again, go to this folder back and activate. ID & Password will be required then to download.
Hope this will help.
Cheers.

Thunderbird 31.3.0 Mac Yosemite. Thunderbird does not ask for password, when there are no passwords saved

Have deleted account.
Created new existing mail account, enter server details, click test - the server details are found automatically. Then enter password and click ok - then Thunderbird hangs forever while saying that password is ok.
Alternatively - create new existing mail account without entering password, click ok, then procedure goes through, and the email gets created. However, it never asks for password. Even upon restart of Thunderbird and machine. There are no passwords saved under security settings
Please help
