Why do I have to log into apple id when buying a new macbook?

I just bought a macbook yesterday...
And the apple employee asked me to log into my apple id on a random macbook that was displayed at the store.
Why do they ask me for it?
Thanks.

Ask the store. I doubt if anyone here can answer your question. I have no clue why that would occur :)

  • 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.
    Edit : your reply appeared as I was attempting to post this

    according to the tech specs' required to use iClode it seems that Apple is ignoring it's promisses to their valued costumers since 2001..I have to go to an Apple store and buy a new MacBook and iPhone..mm yeah right we are all swimming in cash. On June Apple had promissed it's old valued costumers that they can continue to access their Mac mail accounts via a browser. But hey ! why keep promisses. Now you need to purchase all the latest gadgets to use y'r Mac mail-iCloud. MOVING TO GMAIL !

    If you had a MobileMe account, and provided you migrated it to iCloud before 1 August, you can access your email at http://icloud.com on any modern browser. 10.7.2 minimum and iOS5 or 6 are required for the devices to use iCloud syncing and other facilities.
    If you have Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard you can set Mail up manually to access the email on an existing iCloud account:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger

  • HT203128 Why do i have to log into my account to play all my games now?  I never had to before!

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes today 4/9/15, I now have to log into my account to use any of my apps or programs on my iPad air 2.  I never had to do this before and it is a real pain!  What gives? 

    On the iPad, go to Settings > Game Center and make sure you are signed out.
    You may have to go through this about three times when playing games, after which the iPad will realize you do not intend to sign in to Game Center.

  • Why do i have to log into iTunes match repeatedly?

    I have about four devices synced with iTunes match. Almost every time I log into my computer I have to sign out, sign in, enable iTunes match again. Over and over and over and over again...
    I love iTunes match but I dont understand why I have to enable it so much if it's already been enabled multiple times. The only device I dont have to sign in a lot on is my iPhone, but I use that almost every day with match, but any computer I might use 2 or 3 times a week. It seems to have to do with the duration of time since I last used match. Either way it is quite annoying...

    I'm on Windows 7 and using Itunes 10 (not planning on upgrading to 11 due to others complaints of more issues with 11)
    I've had imatch for about 4-5 days and what I noticed is the 'greyed out/kicked out of imatch' issue only started when i tried to sync my ipod through itunes.   Since I did that, i seem to be getting the whole library greyed out, and the fix is to log out and log in again, start match again, and it goes through it's whole process just like when you first start with imatch.  It's time consuming.   But I wonder if the sync is what created the problem.  It didnt seem to happen before I did that and I read in other forums that syncing and imatch don't work too well together.
    The other thing is I think it could be that once you've played songs from the cloud on your other cloud device, in my case iphone, then go back to the computer, this could also cause the kicked out effect.  I don't see why this should be how it acts, if all devices are using the same cloud, they should all run together seamlessly... but it doesn't seem to be the case.
    The good thing is it always goes back to find the whole library even though I deleted some files from my HD (in process of upgrading all to 256 bitrate) so I am scrambling to get back the last few hundred files on my system.... because I just do not trust this whole cloud thing.  
    Everybody needs to back up EVERYTHING.. ALL the time.
    Imatch is a great concept if they could work out the bugs.

  • Why do I have to log into CC every time I start my PC?

    I am the only one that uses my PC, I don't want to have to look up my lastpass password every morning when I log in. I have tried reinstalling, deleting folders in the Program Data folders etc and nothing works. Any assistance or update on an upcoming feature would be greatly appreciated. I find it funny that the Adobe website can keep me logged in weeks after signing in but the desktop application can't manage to do that.

    I don't have that problem.  This solution was posted by Rajshree in the Creative Cloud Forum.
    Rename the SLStore to SLStore.old from this Location
    Windows:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe
    Mac:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Once done please rename OOBE to OOBE.old from this Location
    Windows:
    C:\Users\(Your Username)\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Mac:

  • HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

    Hi,
    I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

    An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account.  Which of these do you mean?
    By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it?  If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in.   (Did you recently change your ID's password?  That would cause your problem.)
    For example, for icloud:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again using the right password.

  • Why do I have to log in all the time into iCloud every time in spite of clicking the "keep me logged in" box?

    why do I have to log in all the time into iCloud every time in spite of clicking the "keep me logged in" box?

    It is amazing that Apple does nothing about this.  It used to work before but this function (keep me logged in) stopped working a couple of months ago.  Many people seem to have the same problem but Apple seems unable to solve their own problems...

  • My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove?

    My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
    Can anyone help me?

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not.  If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID.  (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library.  It was subsequently synced to your phone.)  The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

  • I paid for exportpdf and everytime i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable.  how can i export only form fields that were filled in?

    i paid for exportpdf and every time i try to use tool on pdf, it asks me to subscribe. i have to log into website EVERY time. not acceptable. Some forms can't be saved so having to log in and only use webtool to upload a saved pdf won't work.
    as well, how can i export only form fields that were filled in if I can get pdf to save to computer?

    Hi kstine,
    I can see why that would be frustrating! Have you tried selecting Stayed Signed In underneath the Adobe ID and Password boxes when you try to log in?
    What did you use to create the PDF form? If you used FormsCentral, form data is saved to your online FormsCentral account. If you have Acrobat, you can export form data as described  here: Adobe Acrobat X Pro * Manage form data files
    Best,

  • 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 may have been infected by malware that you downloaded and installed.  The download was probably called "FlashPlayer.pkg".  If you still have it please don't trash it quite yet.  For the benefit of others in this community can you please upload it to http://www.virustotal.com.  Once you have done that copy the ID and report it back here along with the exact name of the file that you uploaded.
    If the results do not show anything in the status column next to ClamAV can you also upload it to http://cgi.clamav.net/sendvirus.cgi and in the description box include the keyword "macos".  If you know the name of the site where you downloaded it from, that would also be useful.  Then you should trash it so you won't be tempted to run it again.
    A description of this malware along with instructions on fixing it can be found here: http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojan_bash_qhost_wb.shtml
    Thanks in advance and let us know how it goes.

  • I could not log-into "Apple Product Registration"

    Can someone help please???
    I've been trying to log-into "Apple Product Registration", it kept saying wrong password or OD, i double check it was not wrong. Just could not enter this site. HELPPPPPP!!!

    Same thing happened to me after I first got the iMac. I put the restore disk in and did an "Erase and Install" and it worked fine. I did not lose anything because I hadn't installed any programs yet. If you have a lot of stuff installed already you might try "Archive and Install", not sure if that will work or not. Good Luck!!
