For the last couple of months, every time I reboot, I need to enter my iTunes password. I never needed to do that before. How do I fix this back to the way it used to be?
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
Greetings Howard Brazee,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It seems like you are being asked for the Apple ID information everytime the phone turns on. I would recommend you read this article, it may be able to help troubleshoot the issue.
If you're repeatedly asked to sign in to iCloud using two-step verification - Apple Support
- Tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
- Enter your Apple ID and password to sign in again.
Cheers
I wasn't clear - I have to log on every time I reboot my Mac.
Oh, and it isn't my iCloud account that asks for my password, it is my iTunes account.
I have to log on every time I reboot my Mac.
System Preferences > Login Items and enable Automatic Login.
Edit: System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Items
it isn't my iCloud account that asks for my password, it is my iTunes account.
At the top left of the iTunes window, click on your name and in the dropdown menu select Sign Out. Then restart iTunes and sign in again.
It has been and still is one of my Automatic Login applications. I did the Sign Out, restart, reboot, Sign In thing. Then I rebooted, and had to sign-in again.
It has been and still is one of my Automatic Login applications.
You may be confusing Login items and Login Options. I must apologize for confusing them myself in my first post by saying Login Items instead of Login Options.
For logging into your computer here is where you set the preferences.
Here's mine:
Hmm, I couldn't drag the image to here.
Automatic login: [Howard Brazee]
Display login window as (.) List of users
[X] Show the Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down Buttons
[ ] Show Input menu in login window
[ ] Show Password hints
[X] Show fast user switching menu as [Full Name]
[ } Use VoiceOver in the login Window
Network Account Server [Join...]
It looks like you have it set to Automatic Login. Check out this Apple Support article for more info, especially down toward the bottom about File Vault and fast user switching etc.
If dragging an image into the reply box fails, try using the camera icon at the top of the reply panel, which allows you to select your screenshot.
