Why do I have to enter 2 different passwords to 2 different apple IDs when I have to update an app

Whenever I click on the update button I have to enter my current Apple ID password then it starts updating. But then it asks for the password to my old Apple ID. So I enter that password then it just stops updating and I have to do the same thing over again. It. Just goes in a big loop and I can't update any of my apps. It's driving me crazy. Please help.

Because some of the applications you're updating are associated with the old Apple ID. This can't be changed without deleting them and then downloading them from the new one, which may require repurchasing paid applications.

I have changed my Apple ID primary email but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the email that comes up as my Apple ID when I try to update my apps.Still getting my old email details

I have changed Internet providers and have finally managed to update my primary email details under the Apple ID manage your account area.
However my old email details are still showing up when I try to update my apps etc. Can anyone please tell me what else I have to do to change my Apple ID. It seemed that I had already successfully done this but obviously not. I have an iPad 2

Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

I tried to use my visa gift card to purchase something and I am now aware that it does not have any money in it to purchase anything. Now when I try to update an app it will direct me to the incorrect billing page instead. I cannot update any applications

Hello. I have tried to use my visa gift card to purchase something from apple. However, the security code is not present, which I am aware of. When I typed in the correct security code, I discovered that there was not enough money in the card to complete the purchase anyway. Now, whenever I attempt to update my applications on my iPhone 3Gs, I am directed to the billing information from the previous purchase that did not work. How do I cancel the purchase and continue to update my applications?

This happens for some apps. If you have a computer try to buy on it. Otherwise you will have to enter a credit card or some from of billing.

Where can I learn more about multiple Apple IDs when I have multiple Apple computers?

I have both an iMac and a Macbook Pro. However, I can only locate one Apple ID and that is for my Macbook Pro. How do I locate my Apple ID for my iMac.?

my iMac is not associated with my Apple ID
Have you gone here and checked if all of your machines are listed here (and if not, simply add whatever is missing):

Also, what's important is when you check into the app store: can you purchase/download anything using your Apple ID on either of your Macs?

Why is it asking for my moms Apple ID password when I try to update my apps?

When I download an app it asks for my Apple ID password, completely normal right? However when I go to update my apps it for some reason asks for my moms Apple ID password instead of mine, so why is this, how can I fix it?

Looks like one or more of the apps on your device were downloaded using your moms ID. You need to figure out which one, and delete it and DL it under your ID, otherwise you'll need to sign in with her ID.

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?

Why do I have to enter my password everytime I open iTunes?
The only time I don't have this issue is if I open up iTunes within a few hours of signing in. If more than 10+ hours, I have to sign in with my password.
I can't see an area in the preference panel where I can bypass this step.
It makes sense if I'm in the iTunes store and purchasing a song, but not if I simply want to listen to an existing playlist.
Any help would be appreciated

Actually, the only thng that will do is set the frequency of requiring the password once it has been entered the first time. The default (I think) if restrictions are NOT turned on is fifteen minutes. Regardless of this settings, the AppleID password will need to be entered at least once (more if there is a substantial amount of time between purchases.

I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be era

I have a problem. When I start to sync music to my iPod touch, you have to enter the password of your account. I downloaded the game from the general account, and do not always know the password. He writes that if I do not login, then the game will be erased. Previously, this was not. When starting to sync music, it did not touch my programs, and now because of this music can not be transferred to iPods. PANIC AT ME! HELP

If they are Tunes purchased music you have to sing into the account that purchased them.
Is this the iTunes library/computer you sync with? You can rally only "sync" with one iTunes library/computer.However, yo can manually manage music and videos among different libraries/computer. See the manual method of:

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

HT201210 my ipod is disabled and when i connect it to itunes it says that i have to enter my password but i cant because there is no swipe bar so what do i do to fix this

Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
*Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
So do not rely on it.<br />
If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

HT201365 I just upgraded my iphone and now whenever it goes to sleep I have to enter a password to open it again. Very frustrating! I don't want to have to do that almost every time I use my phone. Is there a way of deactivating that annoying feature?

I just upgraded my iphone and now whenever it goes to sleep I have to enter a password to open it. Very frustrating! Can I disable this annoying feature? I went to Settings and disabled the Find My Phone feature thinking that would do it. But it didn't.
I am somewhat infotech-challenged. So I would appreciate help on this. Thank you in advance.

Settings > General > Passcode Lock : OFF
Important leave Find My iPhone ON in
Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone : ON

HT201269 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone using iCloud - I entered my apple ID and password and selected the backup to restore from but the next page asks me to enter a password for a DIFFERENT apple ID

What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

Time Capsule: Have to enter my password to mount my Time Capsule

Whenever I power off my Mac, which isnt often, I have to enter the password for my backup disk in order for the TC to be seen on the desktop. Is this the usual behavior or is there a way it will automatically show up without entering the disk password?

OBGYNDR,
I'm was still a little confused. You said:
Whenever I power off my Mac, which isnt often, I have to enter the password for my backup disk in order for the TC to be seen on the desktop. Is this the usual behavior or is there a way it will automatically show up without entering the disk password?
I was thinking you meant it kept asking you for a password each time you powered DOWN. But now I realize you meant that when you power back UP it's asking you for a password to remount the TC on the desktop. Well there is a fix for that.
Open a Finder window
Select the TC in the Sidebar on the left.
Click "Connect As..." in the upper right.
Enter the TCs password. Check "Remember password in my Keychain."
You should now see the blue TC folder.
Now double-clicking the blue folder. The TCs hard disk should now be mounted on the desktop.
BTW, you don't NEED to mount the TC on the desktop to have access to it. It will always be accessible via the Finder window if you have "Connect As.." set up to 'Remember your password'. Nevertheless, if you need it to appear on your desktop each time you restar your Mac then do the following:
Mount the servers/volumes on your desktop.
Open System Preference.
Select "Accounts".
Choose your account on the left.
Click "Login Items"
Now drag each drive icon you want to automatically mount at startup into this window.
Close prefs.
Bear in mind that unless you checked “Remember password in my Keychain” the system will ask you for the password for these volumes each time you startup.
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!
