Why does the App Store keep telling me I've got to set three security questions? And how do I Make them?

Every time I try to download a new app, a pop-up comes up telling me to set three security questions. And when I try to set them using the provided link it takes me to a page and keeps asking for my password even after I enter it in multiple times. So, is there another way to set my security questions or is there a way to just get rid of the pop-ups? Thanks.

  • Why does the App Store keep telling me I have apps that need updating?

    My iPhone keeps displaying the little notification that I need to update 1 or multiple apps even when I don't. It happens all the time and it's just a quirky thing. Are there any fixes for this?

  • Why does the app store keep saying my card details have been declined? I have sufficient funds and have tried everything. Please help

    I have tried changing cards and this does not work. I have tried using pc like many sites say and this still doesnt work. Please help

    What type of card is it, credit card or debit ? If it's a debit card (as you say 'sufficient funds'  I assume that it's a debit card) then they no longer seem to be accepted in all countries, and even where they are it seems that not all work.
    For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are.
    Do you have a credit card ? Or are iTunes gift cards available in your country (they are not available in all and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue) ? If gift cards are then you could potentially use them as your payment method.

    Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Updates
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    Step 2
    Do as in Step 1 with this line:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
    Step 3
    Hold down the option key and select
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
    Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
    Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
    Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
    Here, "*" stand for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
    Step 4
    If you still have problems, quit the App Store again.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open $TMPDIR../C
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. Inside that folder, there may be a subfolder with the name "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate". If so, delete it. You can then quit Terminal.

  • Why does the App Store always crash

    Why does the app store always crash when I go to use the app genius on my ipod touch, it does it everytime. It even does it ocasionaly when I search for apps. Whats going on Apple. Please look into this or tell me how to turn genius off if thats what is causing the crashes, I can't find how to turn it off in the settings.

    The most usual explanation would be that you need to update or you have to many things taking up your memory

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer?
    I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

    I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8.  After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8.  The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. 
    I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
    Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

  • Why does the App Store say Numbers is installed when it isn't?

    Numbers crashed after the last update so I removed it from my Mac but now the App Store keeps saying it is still installed and won't let me re-download it. Any ideas? (I have restarted the computer)
    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Sparkoids,
    Perhaps you could try this. In Mac App Store, click on Account, then sign in, and "Reset all warnings for buying and download.' Then sign out and back in and try downloading again.
    (Also, make sure it's the Numbers in your Applications folder that you moved to the trash, not the Numbers that you may have in an iWork '09 subfolder within Applications. You'll probably want to keep the version that's in the subfolder because it's got features that the new Numbers does not have, at least not yet. The two versions for the most part coexist happily on the Mac.)

  • TS1368 Why does the app store sometimes fail to connect?

    I often cannot connect to the app store with my new iPad, while I can at other times.  All the support suggestions suggest that my WiFi connection is the problem. However all the other apps that need the WiFi connection, such as Safari, email and Dropbox work all the time. This seems to indicate that my connection is OK. Why is the app store app unable to connect reliably?

    It will happen if you activate a new device in your iTunes account, such as a new iPod, or, from my experience, randomly. Apple stepped up security some months back to cut down on fraudulent purchases.

  • Why does the App store ask if I want to create three security questions when, in fact, I am required to create three security questions to use the App store?

    This is sooooo lame. I'm given the choice of "Not Now" when asked if I want to create three security questions, but clicking "not now" logs me out rather than letting me download the app I came for. Is this sort of poor design typical for Apple?

    Then why doesn't Apple simply say:
    "To download the app you must first create three security questions and answers. Do you wish to create the questions now so that you may then download the app?"
    As written, the text implies that I could download the app without creating the questions first. Good design calls for a clear and direct statement that an act is mandatory when it is mandatory.

  • Why does the App Store open randomly when I'm using Safari?

    It simply opens the apps store to some game unprompted. It does it without me touching links. It happens without touching anything.
    And yes I have hard reset it and deleted cookies etc. I am not a fool.
    I have seen this question come up a lot and Apple have failed to acknowledge it. It's certainly common enough to be a known problem, so why are they ignoring it?

    This is happening because of bad ads on a site that you are visiting. These ads are designed to randomly redirect mobile device users to other sites or the App Store if the link is to an App. It has nothing to do with your iPad. The random nature of the re-directs is intended to confuse the user and keep this garbage below the radar.
    Turning OFF Javascript bypasses this problem because the mechanism implementing the redirects uses Javascript. This is not really a solution, however, because turning Off Javascript affects all sites and will certainly cause problems.
    Complain to the web site to get these ads removed. They may be unaware of the problem.
    There is no problem with your iPad.
