i get asked this every day when i update apps in itunes
i click a few times and it goes away, i've toggles the option in settings, but every day, its so annoying!!!
Same for me, I just click the X in the corner when the icon appears and it goes away immediately. I've changed my preferences both on computer and all my devices but still it appears - only started with the first iTunes update to include Apple Music.
Any chance you have purchased an app in more than one App store? For example, like purchases in the US store with one Apple ID, and in the UK with another Apple ID? I'm running into this too, and I have purchases from both stores under two different Apple ID's, and I was wondering if it was because it was switching ID's when updating apps from different stores.
I only have the one Apple ID, no changes to my account have been made for at least 18 months (when I registered a new debit card), this only began happening with the latest iTunes update. It may be that this password option only arrived in this update. I have an iPhone 6Plus, iPad mini and an iPod Touch and have also checked settings on there.
Every time I make the change in my iTunes account (via PC) it allows me to amend the password requirement to never then asks me to sign in again (I have already signed in prior to making the change). All remains well for that day, including if I re-boot the PC and re-open iTunes, but the next day the setting in my account has reverted. No other setting changes, just the password requirement.
I'm the same, other than updating itunes, nothing had changed on my account, i only have 1 id, but every day it gives me the pop up 3 times each day.
its a right pain in the posterior
I have the same thing - when clicking on the update all apps button, i used to be able to leave it to finish, now it keeps stalling to ask "Require password for additional purchases on this computer?" with two options (always or after 15 minutes). Very annoying, because it never actually asks for my password. iTunes us up to date, running on up to date Mac. Would like this new bug to go away please Apple...
Same here. Seems to coincide with the update to Apple Music, extremely annoying.
Did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same issue. It's not horrible, but totally annoying. I should also mention, I'm on a Mac. Thanks.
. It is comforting that some things remain the same in these turbulent times, like this bug for example. It still remains with iTunes 12.3.
My account has suddenly stopped asking me about this - happened less than a week ago and I am not sure why. I had discovered in my iTunes folder on my computer there were a lot of iTunes .tmp files going back over several days and I moved the earlier ones to another folder (prior to deleting once I knew they were not needed) and suddenly no pop up about password. However I still have my iTunes re-opening several times after I close it down!!
.
And since upgrading devices to os9 and PC to iTunes 12.3 I now get the cloud password required pop up every time I start to download. I'm not a user of iCloud at the moment so no idea why the system needs me to sign in - it's a pop up that says iTunes sometimes logs you out so you need to log back in - as before, I just close the box down and do nothing.
require password for additional purchases on this computer
