Why do I have to log in every time I access iCloud?

I need to log in each time I access iCloud from Firefox or Safari, even though I always check the "Keep me signed in " box.  Is anyone else having this problem?  I never explicitly log out of iCloud (I don't know how I would do that anyway).  If I bring up my calendar in Firefox and then exit from Firefox, the next time I bring it up I have to log in again.  It's supposed to keep you logged in for 2 weeks if you check the "Keep me signed in" box.  Have you seen this problem?  Do you know of a fix?
Thanks!

This has now cleared up for me, I don't know why.  Maybe Apple has fixed it?  I did "Clear Recent History" in Firefox, but that didn't fix it immediately.  It cleared up shortly after that, so maybe that had something to do with it.  It's a mystery!

  • HT201493 why do I have to log on  every time I want to use this app?  Logging on is a collosal pain,

    Logging on every time makes the app much less useful.

    That wouldn't protect your friends.
    Not sure why you are averse to using a screenlock, you run a precarious line by not doing.

  • Have to sign in every time i access icloud

    I am asked to sign in to iCloud every time I access it, even though I select "remember me" option at sign on.
    This has been going on for only about 4 days.  Prior to that time, I never had a problem.
    Thank you.

    I use Google Chrome and I seem to stay signed in.  Make sure when signing in you click the "Stay Signed In" check box.

  • HT1911 Why does Itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? Somehow, my account got disabled now. It also shows that I am logged in....?

    Why does itunes have me logging in multiple times to buy a song? I can access everything else fine, but now my account is disabled for some reason although my password was entered correctly... help

    I've seen a couple of other threads over the last 10 minutes posting similar problems, so it appears to have affected other people as well - the poster on the first thread has now posted again saying that it's now working for him, so you could give it another try.

  • Why do we have to change passwords every time we do something on the iPad?

    WHy do we have to reset passwords every time we do something on iPad?

    You shouldn't have to. It sounds like you may have content on the device associated with more than one apple id. If that's the case then, you may be entering a password for one account when you should be entering another.
    I would suggest using only one apple id username on the device and delete any content associated with another.

  • How do I configure the settings(?) to not have to log in every time I fire up a dark screen?  I'm coming off a PC.

    How do I configure the settings(?) to not have to log in every time I fire up a dark screen?  I'm coming off a PC.

    Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.

  • Why do I have to log in every day?

    It's been a recent PITA that I've had to log in every time I visit the forum, whereas before I could load the forum from my bookmark and I would already be logged in. Is this one of the new forum "improvements?"

    Yeah, I saw that topic. I didn't have time to wade through all the replies, but it seemed that some people were still having problems by the end of it. I was hoping someone would give me a one-size-fits-most solution. It's not as huge a problem as what I'm fearing the formatting may turn out to be, but it is just another annoyance that seems totally unnecessary if it's something that's in Adobe's control.

  • Have to reset Safari every time I access FaceBook - no other apps

    Help - I have to reset Safari every time I want to access FaceBook, but not any other app.  Only happened today after update last night.  Is there a patch?  Some other method to fix it?  This is for a MacBookPro notebook. 

    The message says the server dropped the signal.  Don't think it's my server, because it only happens with FB.  Yes, the same thing happens no matter how I approach it on my Mac.  I don't have the problem if I log in from PC or iPhone.  I can eventually get on if I reset Safari and reload FB, but I'm spoiled by previous performance to expect immediate response. 

  • HBO GO: Why do I have to sign in every time?

    Every time I open a new browser window to HBO GO, I have to sign in again.  I'm accustomed to web sites using cookies to keep me logged in.  Also, it doesn't automatically remember what I've been watching, and navigation is practically nonexistent.  Every time I want to watch another episode of the same show I was just watching, I have to search for it again and browse through all the episodes to get back to where I was.  Why is this site so inconvenient compared to other web sites? 

    Please check your cookie settings. The cookies is what remembers information from the different websites. It's the Verizon website it has to authenticate to. So when you go to the HBO go website, it then authenticates at the Verizon website (a third party site according to your browser since its going outside the HBO go site)

  • Why does iTunes make me log in every time I open it since upgrading to v.12.0.1.26 and Yosemite?

    Since upgrading to itunes v. 12.0.1.26 and Yosemite (same day), iTunes has been making me log in every single time I open it.
    Not only that, but it makes me log in several times, for iCloud, for iTunes match, for whatever else we do on iTunes. It gives me like five different reasons to log in, and I have to type my password in five times.
    Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it? Thanks!

  • Why do i have to contact support every time i buy an app?

    I can't believe I am the only person experiencing this. I've been an apple customer for over six years. I have two personal ipads, one work ipad, and two personal iphones with them. For some unknown reason this year they decided to put some restriction on my account that if i try to buy an app from the app store, I have to call in to support to get it to go through. Support fixes it, but ONLY FOR THAT PURCHASE. Anytime afterward that I want to buy an app, I have to go through the same thing again. Every time I call, I get a difference excuse for why it's happening. One person told me it's because i got a refund on an app once (mind you , the refund was because APPLE doublecharged me for one app, not anything that was my fault). Lately the new line has been that it's "for my protection". Who on god's green earth thinks that is a reasonable way to treat a customer? Why only me? I don't see anyone else complaining about this. I spent thousands of dollars on Apple equipment expecting a certain kind of service, and instead I'm treated like a criminal where I can't even buy an app with a valid credit card without getting special permission. Has Apple lost their collective minds?

    We are fellow users, we won't know why. If you are frequently changing your payment method then that might be why - if you've got the message to contact them again then you could see if they can see why it's happening and if they or you can do anything to stop it happening.

  • Why do I have to sign in every time use ibooks

    Since the ios7 update, almost every time I use iBooks it prompts me to sign into my appstore account.  This is new behavior and is aggrevating.  Why is it necessary?  Am I missing something?

    Pretty sure it's a bug, same problem here. Only started after installing iOS7 7.0.2. It's only happening on my iPad though, not on the iPhone. However, the iPhone (which is logged into iCloud) is not syncing my progress from other devices.

  • Lion: I have to log in every time I start up my computer?

    Hi all.  I took the plunge and upgraded to Lion the other day.  Overall, I love it, but since I upgraded, I now have to log in to Lion every time I initially start up.  I've never had to to do that before - I always just stayed logged in, and when I boot up, I booted straight into the OS.  I've looked all over and can't find the option to just stay logged in.  I know it must be there somewhere.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Here's a picture, it's been a feature with OSX since the beginning, not new to Lion:
