Why do i have to enter my apple id for every purchase

Why do I have to enter my apple id for every purchase in the app store. I thought the new ios would remember it every time.

It only "remembers" such for 15 minutes after the first purchase. This is done for security reasons. It is app updates that no longer require a password.

    You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
    You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

  • Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password every time on the iOS app?

    Every time I open the iTunesU app on my iPad I need to authenticate. I'm guessing it is due to being a course creator but is this really necessary?

  • HT201485 why do I have to enter my Apple ID and Password several times each time I launch iTunes

    Why do I have to enter my Apple ID and password several times to enable automatic downloads each time I launch iTunes? I get no password errors.
    I've also notice that some secure websites, e.g., banks, tell me each time I log on to them  that they don't recognize my computer. I don't know if that's related.
    I use two different wifi networks each day, one work, one home
    I am using OS X 10.10.1 on a macbook pro retina, mid 2012

    That seems strange. Try an iPad reset and see if this fixes the problem,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

    why do i have to pay more than once for my purchased album in itunes, when i download them again?

    Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.

  • Why do I have to enter my Apple ID after an iOS update on iPad?

    Every time I update iOS on my iPad, it asks me to enter my Apple ID to configure iCloud despite the fact that iCloud is already configured.
    Why is that? It's a hassle, annoying, and doesn't happen on my iPhone.

  • Why do I have to enter my apple ID every time I use my software?my new software is always waiting to be installed

    how can I solve this problem

    Are you talking the app store on the iPhone?
    If you are, it has to do with control of getting the updates and control of downloading new software.  Sometimes there will be an update when someone won't want an update.  Requiring the password would give someone better control over what gets installed.  Or if there's new software, it will give a parent, for example, better control over what gets purchased or even just downloaded, in the case of a free app.
    I'm not an Apple employee, but I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't consider it a problem.  They tend to err on the side of caution, especially when money is involved.  Requiring the apple id password every time definitely does that.

  • Why do I have to enter my apple ID password at the end of watching TV shows?, why do I have to enter my apple ID password at the end of watching TV shows???

    I don't mind repetedely entering my password while downloading shows. But after downloading shows and then watching I am prompted to enter the account password once again about a minute before they end. This is annoying and unnecessary. Very Microsoft-like annoyning. Someone at Apple needs to fix iTunes.
    Not to mention the inability to sort unwatched shows from older seasons on iTunes 11. I buy a lot of content and it has become painful lately to manage the content. iTunes 11 is a disaster. Please fix.

  • After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

    After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

    Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks.  Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up.  When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked.  I check it, and all seems correct.  The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked.  Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID.  The log-in loop continues.  For years my keychain has worked perfectly.  What has changed in Mavericks?

  • Tomcat Server Port Number: Why do I have to enter the port number?

    My ultimate goal is to setup a website that displays data from a database. I will use Java, Apache, Oracle, and whatever else I need to create a website the uses servlets, JavaServer Pages, and JDBC.
    I�ve got four Pentium III computers:
    1. Windows 2000 Server to be the web server (MyWebServer, IP = 10.10.1.1).
    2. Windows 2000 Professional to be the database server (MyDatabaseServer, IP = 10.10.1.2).
    3. Windows 2000 Professional that I use to develop and test (MyDeveloperPC, IP = 10.10.1.3).
    4. Windows 2000 Professional that I use as a client to connect to the website (MyClientPC, IP = 10.10.1.4).
    I installed Java Web Services Developer Pack on MyWebServer. It requires Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), so I installed that first. The files I downloaded and installed are as follows:
    J2SE: j2sdk-1_4_0-rc-win.exe
    JWSDP: jwsdp-1_0-ea1-win.exe
    After installing these products, I set the environment variables as follows:
    JAVA_HOME = c:\j2se
    JWSDP_HOME = c:\jwsdp
    Path = c:\j2se\bin;c:\jwsdp\bin; [and other previous statements]
    On MyWebServer I start Tomcat (from the JWSDP menu option). It starts properly (as far as I can tell).
    Then, from MyClientPC I open Internet Explorer and in the address box I type:
    http://10.10.1.1
    �The page cannot be displayed�.
    I then try again and add the port number:
    http://10.10.1.1:8080
    This displays the page c:\jwsdp\webapps\root\index.html.
    Here�s my question: Why do I have to enter the port number to get a page displayed? Do I have to have Apache HTTP Server running on MyWebServer to display pages without entering the port number?
    Thanks for your help.

    Oh simmy1, so silly....
    You have to enter the port number because Tomcat is running on that port (probably 8080). You actually don't NEED apache at all. Most people use it an HTTP listener because historically, servlet engines and application servers had shitty listeners. (WebLogic 5.1 was really bad.) Not sure how they stack up today.
    Port 80 is the default port that browsers will look at. (Try it, hit these forums with http://forum.java.sun.com and then hit it with http://forum.java.sun.com:80. See? Same thing.) If you don't want to have to enter a port number, just make sure whatever is running at the front of your network is serving on port 80. It doesn't matter if its apache, tomcat, weblogic, iis or whatever. There is nothing wrong with running Tomcat on port 80, although using a webserver proxy like apache is generally recommended.
    And don't listen to simmy1, this is his second bonehead post I've seen today: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=45&thread=231154
