IPad is frequently asking for Apple ID

My wife's iPad has suddenly started asking for her Apple ID almost everytime she uses it...especially after charging it.  How do we eliminate this?

I would try rebooting the iPad and see if that fixes it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work, have her sign out in Settings>iTunes and App stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID and then tap sign out. Restart the iPad, sign in again and see how it goes.

    Hi there Mullin1!
    I have a couple of articles here that can help you troubleshoot and resolve this issue. This first article will help walk you through some basic troubleshooting steps for FaceTime, and it can be found here:

  • Ipad 2 is asking for apple id after restoring

    I work for a school and we handed out several ipad 2 ,3 and airs over the years. It has come to my attention that I cannot go into recovery mode and restore an ipad any longer with out it asking for an apple id after restored. The problem is that several if not all are asking for staffs own apple ids. Is their a way to change this or can apple change this for me. Our school has purchased all of these from apple. The other big question is how did their ID become paired up with that ipad?

    Hi bgs47,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like iPads that have been restored are prompting for the previous user's Apple ID. This feature is called Activation Lock, and occurs when the user has signed in to the device with their iCloud account and turned on Find my iPhone:
    With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
    With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
    Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    Sign out of iCloud on your device
    Erase and reactivate your device
    From:
    iCloud: Activation Lock
    If the user is not available to enter their information into the device, they can remove it from their iCloud account by following these steps:
    Contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed. It should show a gray dot or the word “Offline” next to the device name.
    Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from their account.
    After the device is removed from the previous owner’s account, turn the device off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top-right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.
    You can find these steps and more information about Activation Lock here:

  • IPad 2 constantly asks for Apple ID

    My iPad constantly asks for my Apple ID.  It started doing this after I updated to 5.0.1. Also, it seems random.

    that is for extra security
    in case if you lose your device, whoever is using it cannot misuse your apple id
    as it will keep prompting for password

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. I don't know where you originally posted this question, but it's only just appeared in the Using iPad forum.
    If you can't remember your password then you can reset it via http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't get it reset via that site then you will have to contact Support in your country, they should be able to reset it for you (they can also reset your security questions if you've forgotten their answers).

    i updated my ipad to ios 8 and now my ipad is locked asking for activation when i put it doesnt accept my apple id do you have a solution?

    Did you by this iPad new? Or used? If it was a used iPad, you'll need the Apple ID login for the original owner. If you bought it new, contact AppleCare with proof that you are the original owner and they may be able to help you.

  • I want to get a new app for my ipad , but it first asked for apple ID and then asked for verify payment, what should i do?

    I want to get a new app for my ipad , but it first asked for apple ID and then asked for verify payment, what should i do?

    The iTunes Store needs the 3-digit security code from your credit card on the account.  The iPad will display the account information so you can enter this information.  Once you enter the information, purchase the app and it will download.  Sounds like the Apple ID and payment information is not yours (your parents), so discuss this with the account holder.

  • IPad continuously asking for Apple iD

    Try typing password really slow make sure there are a capital letter and a number somewhere in your password
    If that doesn't work try changing your password to something easier.

  • IPad startup asks for apple id that is an email

    iPad startup asks for apple id that is an email but my existing apple id is not an email address.  When I try to change my existing apple id to my email, the system won't change it so I'm stuck.  I can't complete the iPad startup without entering my apple id but I can't change it to an email address like the iPad expects.  Any suggestions?

    To be honest i'm not sure but i think the apple id is always an email address and you can't use anything else try putting @me.com after the apple id you have

  • Just got home with my ipad and its asking for a passcode which i haven't set.....any ideas please???

    just got home with my new ipad and its asking for a passcode to let me in - haven't set one up, wasn't told about this in store, any ideas please???? Have tried my apple password & my passcode i use with my i-phone but none works.

    Was this a used iPad? Try going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. This will completely restore the iPad to brand new. It will erase all content, but since the iPad is brand new and you haven't made any changes to it, there is no content that will be erased. Except the passcode, of course

  • Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

    Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

    Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

  • Keeps asking for apple Id that is not mine

    I reset my iPad and now it keeps asking for apple ida that are not mine.  How can i get it to stop?

    Does that id show on the right-hand side of Settings > Store or does yours show ? If the wrong one shows then logout of it by tapping on it and then log in with your .
    Do you recognise the id that is being shown - is it one that you've previously used (in which case any apps that you bought/downloaded with it can only be re-downloaded or updated via it) or is it a friend's id ( have you ever connected to somebody else's computer/iTunes)

  • My Ipad's repeatedly  asking for activation and can't be activate through cellular data, what could I do?

    MY Ipad's repeatedly asking for activation, even though I activated 20 times, not kidding! And the worst is I can't activate it through cellular data, for no good reason. Yes, I checked the setting for the cellular data about itunes and so on. I also tried to reboot, to remove and put back the sim card. I also tried to send a request to apple support, but the f... button in the email sent doesn't work. I'm kind of ****** off, cause I couldn't use my ipad all the last evening till I get to a wifi zone... What the **** is going on with Apple? It's getting worst and worst... I have a ipad retina, not the last generation, but the one before... Not sure which number it is though.

    I understand the question fully. Your issue is that the activation does not seem to be registering nor working properly (which is why you keep being asked to activate it). Maybe activating through Wi-Fi will activate the iPad properly since as you say yourself, "I can't activate the Ipad by cellular data." I don't think it would much more trouble to try it through Wi-Fi and could very well solve your issue.
    A question does not come up though...which activation are you actually talking about? The initial activation of the iPad for use (when you are first setting up the device) or the activation for cellular data with the device's cellular data carrier for use on the device? My initial response was for the first scenario.
