For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

HT204306 After I updated my iPad Friday 4/24/2015 my iPad is always asking for my Apple password. This is a pain in the neck. How do I get it to stop doing this?

I am frequently being asked by my iPad for my Apple ID. This has only happened since the last update which I installed 4/24/2015. I checked the settings but can find no way to disable this new feature. It is very annoying. How do I get it to stop asking for my ID?

Hello, Elanhui.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you constantly receive a prompt to enter your Apple ID password after an update. After an update, you may be required to confirm the password for multiple services. I am unsure what service is requesting your password as this sounds like one is missing. However, the prompt should inform you what service needs this information. I would recommend entering your Apple ID password for all services that are labeled iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in the article below.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password

Every time I open or close any program on my computer, iTunes opens a window. How can I get it to stop doing this?

Why does iTunes keep opening on my computer without any prompting from me?

Hello,
To find the correct solution to your problem, we need some more non-personal information from you. Please do the following:
# Use ONE of these methods to open the Firefox Troubleshooting Information page:
#* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click on help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
#* Type '''about:support''' into the Firefox address bar and press the enter key.
# At the top of the Troubleshooting Information page that comes up, you should see a button that says "Copy text to clipboard". Click it.
#Now, go back to your forum post, right-click in the reply box and select '''Paste''' from the context menu (or else click inside the reply box and press the Ctrl+V keys) to paste all the information you copied into the forum post.
If you need further information about the Troubleshooting information page, please read the article [[Use the Troubleshooting Information page to help fix Firefox issues]].
If you have the "Show windows from last time" set up for the start up of Firefox, change this temporarily and close the download. Restart Firefox and this cached task should go away. If not, try a Firefox Refresh:[[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] and restore old profile data with this information: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

My iphone 5. Camera just started mirroring images i take of myself. How do I get it to stop doing this?

I just went on a hike, started the hike by taking a photo of myself in front of the trail sign. The picture turned out just as if someone took it of me, the trail sign is readable and not mirrored.
On my return I took the same photo but this time the trail sign is mirrored so the letters are backward.
I can't figure out what I did to screw this up and I have read postings that claim the front facing camera is always mirrored but in fact I have two photos I took that are proof something changed. Because I was on the hike by myself and took both photos myself.
Thank for your help!

Thanks, but that isn't the issue. That switches the camera from normal to front facing. When I take photos of myself I always use the front facing mode so I can see if I am cutting off my head etc.
My question is that using the same setting, front facing, i have two photos taken 2 hours apart. One of me by the trail sign which is normal and the trail sign is readable, and the second one which is "backwards" and the trail sign letters are mirrored so you can't read them.

I use bing as my homepage and primary search engine. Why is Firefox periodically showing plugin is disabled on Bing? How do I get it to stop doing this?

As stated above, Firefox disables some plugin the bing homepage uses. I don't want this plugin disabled. Firefox doesn't tell me what plugin it is. I don't want Firefox, mozilla, or anyone else deciding for me what plugins should and should not be disabled. This is my computer, not yours. How do I stop Firefox from acting like it knows better than me what plugins to disable and when?

In order to change the default search engine or the order of search engines in the top right search box in Firefox, please perform the following steps:
#Move the mouse cursor inside the search box at the top right of the Firefox window and click the down arrow next to the provider's logo.
#If you would like to select another search engine, simply pick the engine from the dropdown list.
In order to change the order of the search engines, do this:
#From the dropdown list, select ''Manage Search Engines...''.
#In the upcoming window, you have all your search engines listed. To change the order, simply click one search engine and then select ''Move up'' or ''Move down'' from the buttons on the right side in order to change the order of the search engines.

Pictures rotating by themselves in DW CC 2014 How do I get it to stop doing this?

Since I upgraded to DW CC 2014 I've had this problem. If I resize an image in my design space by dragging on the corners of the image, it turns the image sideways. I have to go back to the orig files, resize in Photoshop and rename and reupload the files to get them to be vertical again. This never happened in the prior versions. I could grab the handles and resize without any issues.
How do I overcome this problem? It is time consuming and frustrating

That's not my workflow in DW. But try the following:

If all else fails, use the CC/ CS Cleaner Tools below followed by a software re-install.

In Firefox 4, it keeps wanting to open two pages when I open the browser, the home page AND the last page visited in a separate tab. How can I get it to stop doing this?

At 1st I thought this was because I'd forgotten to properly close my last session, but then I realized that it happens every time.

I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

I always have trouble with my mailbox. It is always asking for my passwords but everything has been verified. How can I get it to stop doing it and start working????

There is only one thing that happens -- the Server does not respond.
Your mac concludes that you must have entered the wrong password. That may happen once, but then other issues become more likely, and it keeps asking for a new password.
Sometimes the Server is down for maintenance. Sometimes something is configured wrong. Some services do this on purpose to get you to use WebMail (pick up your Mail with your Browser) so they can show you some ads.

When I burn dvd in iPhoto, it comes out with original photo plus separate close up photos of each face in original photo. How do I get it to stop doing that?

I am reading this post in the iphoto for iOS forum. The iPad does not burn photos to a DVD. Perhaps you'll get some assistance if you posted in th general iPhoto forum.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Whenever I open a new window of firefox a new tab opens with the new window. How do I get it to stop doing that?

Whenever I open a new window of Firefox, the new window opens at the hope page (like I want it to), but then a tab opens up with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I just want the window to open. I don't know how to fix this as I have know idea how I made this happen. This first happened when I hit control + N to open a new window, but I didn't hit the "N" cleanly. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue started.

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.
