Why do I have to "renew Touch ID purchases" all the time?

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password when updating apps?
If I make new purchases, it seems to go thru with touch ID most of the time, however if I update an app I am forced to manually enter my password.
I have the 7.0.1 update and apple store purchases under the general->fingerprint section is turned on.
I have searched here and the common theme is do the update. It's not that.
So short question is, why do I have to "Confirm Apple ID password for <insert my Apple ID> to renew Touch ID purchases"?

Go to "Settings - iTunes and App Store", and make sure you're logged in correctly there, and if you're not on wifi, make sure to have the "Use Cellular Data" toggled on. Now, go back to Fingerprint and try to toggle the "iTunes and App Store" back on.
If this doesn't work, try logging into your iTunes account from a computer. You may be having problems with your Apple ID or iTunes account, which is a bigger problems than what you've just discovered here. An Apple chat is a quicker way to get in touch with Apple.

  • I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

  • HT1688 why are my imessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    Why are my iMessages now turning into text messages all the time?

    There are a number of reasons why they may be sent as regular sms and not iMessages. If either party is in an area with poor reception and the the data network is struggling, the regular sms messages will be sent to the recipient. iMessage can be switched off at a users convienince, your recipients may have iMessage turned off when you've sent those messages.
    There are instances where the iMessage server is not responding due to techinical issues (although, few and far between)

    This is a scam. Do not phone these people, at best they will charge you for unnecessary 'cleaning' and at worst they will gain access to your Mac and steal your data. You've probably managed to install some 'adware' which is producing this fake warning. 'Adwaremedic' should remove it and is safe to use - please see

  • IPod touch applications crash all the time

    I've been really happy with my iPod touch, but recently it has started crashing all the time - generally speaking, an app will run for about 30secs - 1 min before crashing, though this is more like 5-10secs if I'm also playing music. The app crashes and back we go to the home screen, though music will carry on playing seamlessly. It seems to affect all applications (there is nothing on my iPod that doesn't crash regularly now), so I suspect an OS bug rather than individual apps being at fault.
    I still have 2Gb free space but I wonder whether it's possible the device is running out of memory and just crashing the app as a result?
    I have the official 2.1 release installed, no jailbreaking or anything.

    Hi,
    First thing to do is try reset, restore etc. See here [5R's Trouble Shoot|http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/troubleshooting/ipodtouch>.
    Good luck,

  • Why my ipod sync whole music library when connected all the time ?

    My itunes(latest)  everytime i connect my ipod (5th gen ) syncs all the songs from begining even though there is no new songs added ? Can someone please help me out this . This has been happening all the time and i have to wait all my thousand plus songs to get synced all the time !

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    or maybe this:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Do i have to leave my computer on all the time

    do you have to have the computer, where you i tunes is located, on all the time?
    If I don't, Apple TV doesn't keep the photos i've allowed to be shared on Itunes, and i have to restore it.
    I am getting tired of restoring my apple t.v.. I want to go back to Roku.
    Tell me why I shouldn't.

    If you are using home sharing then yes. Only photos used for the screensaver are temporarily cached, nothing else is stored. There is no need to restore the unit in order to view photos from your computer's library.

  • HT204406 How do you get your albums from itunes match to STAY on your iPhone rather than having to download them EVERYTIME you want to listen to them? This is tedious and takes up a lot of time. I just want to have iMatch to keep things synced all the tim

    Unable to transfer a complete album and only 2 songs appear in iTunes. This is from a purchased CD which was uploaded to my private music collection to use in iTunes.
    Unable to keep the songs on iPhone without having to download them all the time. There are albums that apear but greyed because I have to re-download them. It is very nerve racking.
    Unable to keep the files edited properly. Such as New York Dolls when it is supposed to be The New York Dolls.
    So far, these are the problems I have been running across. No matter which I used to sync or to use iMatch it does seem to have me do a some of the actions over. This does not even cover the rating. It should keep all your settings and not selective.
    So I really could use the help. Thank you.

    I take it this isnt somewhere where apple reps reply?
    No. This is a user-to-user forum, where your fellow users help you. Since those users may be on the other side of the world to you, it may take a while before anyone responds. Occasionally, Apple employees do respond, but that is the exception and their responses will usually direct you to articles that they think will help you.
    So, since I have not yet installed iTunes 11.2, I'll go out on a limb and assume that things haven't changed that much.
    On the Device/Summary pane is the option to Sync only ticked songs and videos. Is that option still on?

  • Why Mail on Mavericks keeps Writing changes to disc all the time?

    I have updated my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to Mavericks and now my IMAP Gmail account on Mail is having a huge endless "Writing changes to disc" on +/- sometimes with up to 50.000 messages, almost freezing my computer all the time! My Inbox, only has aprox 50 messages, I always move mesages to other folders!
    Everything just worked fine on Mountain Lion and now my Mac is very slow because of this. Only if I close Mail than I have my Mac back... but I need to work with Mail open, so thats not an option.

    I have the same problem.  Since installing Mavericks I have a major issue with Apple Mail drastically slowing my whole system down.  As others have mentioned, basically Mail takes over the computer and I find myself looking at spinning beach balls for minutes at a time.
    From watching the Mail "Activity Window" (accessible from the "Window" menu item), I have discovered that several times a day it starts "Writing changes to disk" (see screenshot) for no apparent reason (it's not as if I have shifted any mailboxes); and that's the time when everything comes to a shuddering halt.  It takes a long time, about half an hour or so, to rewrite 27,000 messages (or some other ginormous number, it varies) to disk, and during that time I'm held up.   This problem never arose with Mountain Lion. 
    Basically it seems to me that Mail has been messed up in Mavericks, and Apple needs to fix it.
    It was suggested to me by the Apple "Support Advisor" that the fault may lie with Gmail, due to some changes Google have made.  But that sounds like it's a cop-out and anyway it's no excuse.  Here are two of the biggest companies in the world who are constantly talking with each other about many things.  If it's true (unlikely) Apple should be able to communicate with Gmail and get it sorted.

  • Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

    Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
    I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
    But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
    I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

    I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

  • Why do have to disable Yahoo automatic updates all the time?

    I used to be able to open Firefox, and then open my Yahoo mail account without having to go through the additional step of disabling automatic updates. How can I permanently disable automatic updates, so I don't have to do it every time?

  • Why is my iMac running so slow and crashing all the time?

    My iMac is last years model, running on Lion OS X. It's one year old, I had it Christmas 2011. It's 1TB with 4GB RAM. It's partitioned with Bootcamp, Windows 7, so it's 100GB Win7 and 900GB OS X. I'm only using 350GB of RAM altogether.
    It's started running ridiuclously slow. Firstly, it was just when I started to work with large files in Photoshop (CS5.1). I was attempting to work on a piece for college which size is A2 (594 x 420), but it was painfully slow, so I literally stopped working and started researching into how to improve performance. I deleted a lot of software that I didn't need, verified and repaired discs, nothing seemed to work.
    Now Photoshop isn't the only problem. Certain websites aren't loading when they're working fine on my iPhone and on my iMac, such as Facebook, Google, but websites like Twitter and Gmail are working? I downloaded Avast and started to scan for a virus, but then the deadly annoying pop up saying "You need to restart you Mac, hold down the power button etc" popped up... I dunno what I'm supposed to do now, and I dunno why it's acting like this. It's been fine. Think it's a virus? I'm scanning now but nothing found as of yet.
    If anybody knows what's going on, or if this has happened to them, please let me know! I know I could just book a Genius appointment and take it to the Apple store, but I have university interviews in a couple of days, no external hard drives to put my work on, and it's 27" which is hard to lug around town...
    Thank-you.
