Why do I have to type in my password every time I download an app? Can that be changed?

Why

Apps, whether the be free or require a payment are then associated with the Apple ID that was used to download them. To make sure that the person downloading the app is the person to whom the purchase or download will be associated you are requested to enter your password. That's the way it is.
Updating previously downloaded apps no longer requires entering your password.
Downloading multiple apps in sequence will also require only entering your password once.

  • Billing Info bug. I have to verify my billing info every time I download an app.

    Every time I download an app for my iPhone 4, it prompts me to verify my billing info, each time charging $1 to my credit card. It becomes annoying when I download quite a few apps each day. It starts to add up. This is an obvious bug does anyone know how to fix it or has anyone heard from apple as to the cause?

    Just confirmed with apple that the $1 charges wont actually be completed. They are just to check to see if credit card is active. But even so that money becomes unavailable in my account while verification is happening. Still very annoying in itself to have to verify my billing info for every single download.

  • Will I have to enter my Facebook password every time I use their app, and how do I with Firefox?

    Password issues using FB.

    When you open Firefox navigate to facebook.com and enter your username and password. Firefox should then place a drop down from the address bar asking if you want to remember the password. Accept the saving of the password.

  • Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder

    Why do I have to type in my password just to create a folder ! ?
    What can I do to eliminate this silly requirement ?

    If the enclosing folder is one used by Mac OS X itself, leave it as is.
    I appreciate your advice.   I don't know why I need to “leave it as it is” ?  I'm trying to create a new folder in the hard drive. (Done this for 30 years.)
    I did open the Sharing & Permissions section.  system =  Read & Write,   wheel = Read Only,   everyone = Read Only. 
    Should they all be, Read & Write ?

    Why do I have to repeat the installation process every time I turn on my PC?
    Because you never run the install of whatever program you are referring to with sufficient user privileges and it thus never "sticks". Run as admin, turn of security tools, let the install finish properly. If you need more guidance, provide system info and tell us what program you actualyl mean.

    You don't, if you follow the instructions on this page when creating an account (the instructions won't work with existing accounts) then you don't have to give credit card details, you will get a 'none' option on the payments screen : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

  • HT204053 Do I  always have to put in my password every time I purchase/download an app?

    I only have the 1 iOS, the new iPad. I don't use or sync other devices. Can I somehow disable that so I don't have to write in my pw EVERY time I download something new!? It's kind of annoying. Lol I'm using the same device every time, it should remember me! Thanks for help.
