Asking for apple ID password constantly & Crashing apps

iOS 8.2, 6 Plus 64g
Since the 8.2 update, I have had issues with apps crashing pretty consistently, including Safari. Also, I am being prompted to enter my apple ID password about 30 times a day. It happens at random times, unlocking the phone, surfing Safari, etc. It's just asking for password, and not even finger print ID. I live about two hours from the nearest city & Apple Store, so I would like to avoid a Genius Bar appt if able to.
I can do the obviously and set up as a new device, but I would like to avoid that if there is a simple fix.
I am also having the problems everyone else is with cell service being terrible, unable to connect Bluetooth, and WiFi problems. I am constantly having to reset my network settings. Apple - Please give us a new update that actually fixes these issues soon! Any help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid, setting it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards, is the only way to make sure that this is not software related.
Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.
If it is working after that, restore from the latest backup again. If not, contact Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it checked.

How can I stop my iphone 5 from asking for Apple ID Password constantly?

I've had this problem ongoing for awhile now and it's starting to drive me nuts.
A few months back I was using an app where you could purchase in-game points which would come through your apple ID. I purchased the points and they never arrived, but it's like my phone is constantly now trying to buy the points over and over. Randomly even when the app is closed I'll be asked for my Apple ID password, even if the app is deleted from my phone. If I enter my password it'll go away for a little while and then try again later. So I figure it is just continually trying to make the purchase and fails each time.
I've contacted the support for the app and they never reply to any support email questions, I've looked around online and similar problems seem to be fixed by people looking at pending downloads sitting in itunes on their PC, but there is nothing pending at all. I've changed my Apple ID password. I've made sure it was synced with my phone, I've cleared it from my phone and re set it up again ... nothing seems to work.I even reset my phone entirely and it continues to ask .. it's like the problem is linked more with my apple ID rather than the phone itself. But I'm out of ideas of how to stop it.
Any suggestions? It's incredibly frustrating!

Turn the account off in settings.

Repeatedly asking for Apple ID Password with every app update iOS7

Since I updated to iOS7, I have to type in my password for every app update. I don't want to auto-update all the apps; I like an older FB app. How can I get my phone to remember my password like before in the app store?

I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.

Why is iCloud asking for apple id password? I have started using Last Pass to generate passwords that are more secure. Ideas please?

The iCloud password isn't saved anywhere on your device, this is the way it's supposed to work.

Why does iOS prompt repeatedly ask for Apple ID password?

Dear Apple Support Community,
Device: iPad 4th Generation (64GB WiFi + Cell/LTE)
iOS Version: Latest version at time of publish - 6.1.3 (6.1.4 is iPhone specific)
SITUATION: I am prompted for Apple ID password every time I access App Store or iTunes. Typically, this should only be required to confirm purchase(s) or if password has "timed out" between purchases.
Additional Information: I suspect this is associated with Pre-ordered Movies and Music. This was experienced only after Pre-orders on all versions of iOS 5 and 6.
Thanks in advance for your help, guidance, and coaching a "Technoid."

Michael,
Thank you for proposing a solution. However, it appears my restrictions are "Off". Your thoughts appreciated.

How to stop the ATV asking for Apple ID Password

I just upgraded to 6. Now everytime the ATV boots up (I turn it off at night) it asks for my AppleID password. This never happened under 5.x. I do not rent or buy iTunes stuff from my ATV. I do not want to enter my password because I never had to under 5.x, how can I stop it asking for my password?

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

TS1702 When attempting to install an app I constantly get asked for apple id password

I am constantly being asked for my apple ID when attempting to download an app. I have entered it 10 times correctly so what's up? I have an iPhone 4S also so not a newbie to apple this is driving me nuts.

You're welcome. I don't know why this issue has arisen in the last couple of days, but others have reported the very same thing and I found this fix here in the forum.

Constantly asking for Apple ID password?

Is anyone else's iPhone only, not my iPod touch, is constantly asking for you to enter your Apple ID password besides when downloading an app? If so, did you find something that helped? PLEASE HELP! It's only been 2 or 3 days, I believe I have not changed any settings, at least purposefully, so I'm unsure why it started at of a sudden.

I had the same problem, and was able to pin-point one of my app called "LINE" by Naver was causing this issue. So for those of you who have this same issue and also have LINE, here is the solution from LINE support, which resolved my issue.
[1] Please update your LINE app from here:
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/line/id443904275?mt=8
(If you have already got the most recent version please follow the steps below.)
[2] Please try the following steps:
1) Tap your iPhone [Settings]
2) Tap [Store] (On iOS6 this will be shown as [ iTunes Store/App Store]
3) Tap the box that starts with [Apple ID: ] at the bottom
4) Tap [Sign Out]
5) Start up LINE without signing in again and tap [More] on LINE’s main menu.
6) Tap [Settings] > [Stickers] > Purchase History]
7) Tap [Restore Sticker Purchases]
6) When required, enter your Apple ID and password at the pop-up window and tap [OK]
** Don't worry about lossing stickers that you purchased, I completed above process and all the purcahsed stickers are still there **

Updating apps asks for apple id password for old email address

I clicked on update all for my apps and am asked to sign in to itunes store using the apple id password for an old email address.

Then sign in with that Apple ID. Whether your email changed or not is irrelevant. The Apple ID "name" (often the email address you originally used to sign up) should not change.

Apps keep asking for apple ID password

Whenever I open apps, the app asks for the apple ID password or else it will close the app. This is getting kinda annoying. Any solutions?

How exactly can I save my password?
Thanks!

IPhone5 continually asks for apple ID password

Starting appx 6 months ago, or around the time of the last IOS update my iPhone 5 constantly asks for my apple ID password. Whether the password is entered, or I select "cancel", the pop-up will continue.
There is no rhyme or reason as to what causes the prompt as it can occur when I'm on a call, opening the phone for the first time in an hour, trying to watch a video, sending a text or during a phone call. It also pops up nearly every time the phone switches between wireless in the house or LTE/4G out in town.
I have verified there are no pending downloads both on the phone and in iTunes. I have restored my phone both as an existing phone and as a new phone. I have deleted every contact and manually re-entered them, I have deleted each app (there are only 30) and re-installed them each individually as well. Apple has replaced my phone due to the ongoing issue, however, after installing everything back on my phone one at a time over a 2 month period, the issue started again.
I believe it is a software issue but cannot determine which application is creating it. The prompt occurs dozens of times a day and does not matter whether an application is running or not as I've started to "close" them after each use to try and narrow down the root cause. After deleting every application and manually re-entering them one at a time, the issue seemed to have been resolved for nearly a week and then started again. (none of the applications had had an update)
Any other thoughts/suggestions? Completely at a loss at this junction and appreciate any assistance!
Thank You

Update:
I have learned that it is the Photoshop Express app that was purchased several months ago.
Deleting the app, and then reinstalling it did not correct the issue and it doesn't seem to matter whether I just load the basic app or add on the in-app purchases.
Immediately upon reinstalling the app, the password prompt occured and continued until I deleted the app again. I attempted to do it 2 or 3 times just to be sure as had been using the app for months before the prompt ever occured.
I have contacted Adobe/Photoshop and received a notice that they received my inquiry but have not received a response regarding repair.
Unfortunately, the only way to find this issue is to delete every single app that you've loaded onto your phone and then reinstall them one by one, with several hours or a day in between to give the app time to pop-up the prompt.
VERY FRUSTRATING~but at least it was one of my 30 apps vs it having been one of my 700+ songs!
Good Luck!

Asking for Apple ID password bought from someone else...

I just bought an Iphone off a mate of mine but they already have an icloud account on there. Each time i go to install an app and music from app store it asks for password of the previous user, is there any way of disabling this so that I can use my account for things??

Settings > iTunes & App Stores
Sign out of the former users's account and sign into your own. Note that if there are any apps or other content left that were purchased by the former owner, it will still prompt you for that user's account for updates. I'd suggest restoring the iPhone to factory settings:

so that you can start completely fresh with your own account, apps, etc.
Regards.

Asking for apple id password

After the latest iOS update my iphone 4 is asking for my apple id password nearly everytime I unlock the phone. It has updated all apps and has been sync'd. I will enter the password and it will stop for a little while and start back again. What is going on with it???

Settings>Store...is your Apple ID shown? If not, sign in. If it's shown, tap it...sign out...then sign back in.

IPhone 5s asking for Apple ID password at random times

So I can just be sending a text and bam... Please enter your Apple ID to sigh in. So I enter it and little while later I can be doing something g else like dialing a phone number and all of a sudden please enter your Apple ID password. I can cancel or enter it and it works fine but I'm kinda getting annoyed:(

I have the same or a similar problem.
I kept putting the password for my wife's Apple ID into the password alert. I then realized that it asked me for the password of my Apple ID, because all iTunes content, including apps, in our family is purchased using my Apple ID. Realizing this, I supplied my Apple ID password, and the password queries went away.

Why does my old iMac ask for the Admin password when deleting apps?

I just bought a new 2013 iMac. I'm giving the old 2009 iMac to a friend. I installed the old OS onto it, then I updated it to Mavericks. I saw there were some programs still on it that I used to have so I went to delete them. Every time I moved the app into the trash it asked me for a password (I registered the 2009 iMac under my friend's id.) Why is it doing this?

I'm giving the old 2009 iMac to a friend.
You need to wipe your iMac securely so that none of your personal stuff remains on the system. Your friend then can update & upgrade as they see fit. Your friend should also set up a new Apple ID & password for security reasons.
