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.

  • Why do I have to enter my password 3 times before I can access my iTunes account using a Windows 8.1 pc?

    For the past 6 months or so, I can't log onto my iTunes account without entering my password at least three times. This is only when I'm using my Windows pc (8.1). Logging in on my iPhone, ipad, ipod are fine. Argh!

  • Must enter Mail password everytime I open mail App.

    Please, anyone. What's up with this?? Everytime I open the mail application, it ask me for my password before it will check mail. I searched the help pages and only came up with a potential link to the latest upgrade 10.4.8, but NO FIX!
    Does Apple know about the problem???
    Any help appreciated,
    Jeff

    Jeff,
    You appear to be saying the Incoming authentication and receipt of messages may be OK, you recognize that the request is related to the Outgoing -- is this correct?
    Let me first observe that Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced provides the points to choose authentication of Incoming servers.
    Secondly, let me ask if you are selecting the smtp.mac.com as Outgoing Server? If so, be aware that many ISP limit the relaying of third party SMTP on Port 25, so you should present the smtp.mac.com on Port 587, for best results, in most cases. I cannot yet tell if this is the situation you find yourself in, or not, but what SMTP are you using, and what Port have you assigned to it?

    Although you are apparently not blocked, I think it could relate to the request for Password.

  • Can't retrieve music and have to use password everytime I open iTunes library

    I bought a new laptop about a year ago and was able to move all my music without a problem.
    Now a year later, all my music gets a "can't retrieve file" message, so when I find it and check "try to find the other files in the same location" iTunes freezes every time.
    I really don't want to have to move all my music again!
    Also, I have to sign in every time I open my library, which is just incredibly annoying!

    Hello Cancaillerie,
    It sounds like your iTunes Library / files weren't moved to the right location or consolidated.  The article below explains how to do this.

    If you are repeatedly being asked for a password in iTunes, you may not have the new computer authorized to play your iTunes purchases.

  • I have to restart my computer everytime I open itunes!!

    My itunes worked fine till I downloaded the newest version/update- now when I turn on my computer (Windows7) I can open itunes and everything works fine. But when I close it out I can't get it to open again untill I restart my computer..... I've unistalled and installed itunes many times but it does the same thing. Anyone else have similar problems or knows the fix to this???

    Try reinstalling your iTunes as per these directions:
    support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    Don't worry, your iTunes library will be preserved even if you reinstall.

  • 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
    2.6 ghz core i7 8GB,
    iTunes 12.0.1.26

    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.

    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 master password 3 or more times before it's accepted???

    When the Software Security window opens and asks for my master password, I enter the password, but when I submit the form, the password field is cleared and the prompt persists. Sometimes my password is truncated as I'm entering it, and I have to delete whatever is there and start over. Typically, I'll have to enter the password a minimum of 3 times, often more. It's infuriating!

    I don't know what might have changed. Thunderbird will prompt for a password if it has failed, and is therefore assumed to have changed, or if more than one password is stored for an account.
    Being prompted for the password twice or thrice set me off in search of a solution, and the one I found was this add-on:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/startupmaster/
    which consolidated my two or three login prompts into one. It may help you, but the possibility of multiple stored passwords may still be at the root of multiple login prompts.

  • 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.

  • TS1702 why do i have to put in password for free apps

    why do i have to put a password in for free apps

    That's how it is.  But really, do you want anyone who happens to get his hands on your iPad to download whatever? It's your account, and entering a password insures you are in control.

  • 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.
