    Constantly asking to log in with Apple ID

    See attached, I'm constantly getting this and I've logged in 30 times probably. Same issue on my MacBook Pro as my iMac. Anyone else seeing this? It goes away for a second after a couple entries but then comes back as a badge and wants me to put in my password again. Driving me crazy.

    Security: Log in with Email or Phone Number?

    When presented with the option to log into a website or app with an email address or phone number, would one be considered any more secure than the other? I think email addresses tend to be more public and therefore more prone to exploitation. Thoughts on this?

    How to ditch the old login from autopopulating Itunes

    Ok I FINALLY got my apple ID changed. Wasn't easy. Trouble is it still shows the OLD one in ITunes. It's there when I open it, faded out under account. When I click to login to the ITunes store it autopopulates it, though it does let me change it and login successfully. I foresee this...

    Why does Safari "forgets" GMail passwords?

    Hi, recently Safari started to act differently and to bounce me out from my GMail, so I need to login after reboot or long sleep etc. Any idea why is this happening and how to solve it -- to make Safari "remember" I'm logged in? Many thanks Lexy
