Apple id keeps resetting

My phone keeps asking me for my apple id.  I type it in and it says the password is incorrect.  I reset it as per the instructions and it works for a day or so.  Then I receive a pop up requsting my apple id. It has happened at least 8 times over the past few weeks.
Please help!

No, the apps will NOT update.  I'd like to chalk this up to being a total idiot, but I keep having to reset my Apple ID password.  I did it twice this morning, tried to update the apps and keep getting the password reset message. I haven't touched the iPad since, but it just "dinged" again about a minute ago saying that my Apple ID password needs to be reset. 
The other "odd" thing about the reset process is that when I go to iforgot.apple.com and reset the password, the email address used to send me the reset link is not my primary email address/Apple ID, it is my backup email address.  When I have reset my personal Apple ID password, the email always goes to Apple ID, not the back up.
I'm starting to wonder if MobileIron is doing something to cause the password reset issue.  Our Help Desk says no, but I have found them to be mostly clueless with the iPads.

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • Why my Apple ID keeps resetting?

    Every day or sometimes hours, my Apple ID is reset and I have to get a new one. I have an iPhone, an iPad and my secretary have access to my calendar online to work my schedules. What causes this consistent resetting? Anyone experiencing the same thing?

    Perhaps someone is trying to guess your password and locking the account...?

  • Apple id keeps on resetting

    Hello,
    My apple id keeps on being disabled, and i have to issue new password everytime. 3-4 times this months. I think this may due to the facts that i travel a lot, being in differents countries.
    Is there a way to prevent it?
    Thanks

    You enter the credentials that were used to activate Find my iPhone before you reset it. That's called Find My iPhone Activation Lock.
    It's an anti-theft feature.

    You probably are mixing up your password with passwords from other accounts. If i were you i would write down your password somewhere easy to acess and make it very hard to guess if you ever reset it.

  • HT1918 I keep resetting my password and it continues to say incorrect password or apple ID, I cannot update apps or purchase apps, please help

    I keep resetting my password and it continues to say incorrect each time I try to update or purchase apps

    I have had that problem. I had an apple I'd as we'll not associated with my email. Once I put it on there I had to buy the apps again. Very upset that I have to pay for app om my iPhone and then turn around and buy the same app for iPad or IPod. This issue with it not accepting my password no matter how many times I change it is very frustrating. Took my password to ask the question but it won't to buy an app! Maybe I will just save my money.

    My Apple id keeps getting reset. How can I stop this?

    That's fine. I just didn't understand, but suspected that's what you meant.
    You should contact Apple about this. Go to this website, find your country, and call Apple and ask to speak to Account Security about this.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops

    Hello khanhlinh98,
    I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Iphone 5 got wet, now apple logo keeps blinking and phone is unresponsive. When I try to restore it I get error code 21 then on another computer I get error code 2006.

    My iPhone 5 got wet and I dried it out for 3 days. Now when I charge it the apple logo keeps blinking. Phone is unresponsive, so I tried to restore it but got error code 21. Tried on another computer and got error code 2006. Any suggestions, or is it impossible to get it back?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.
    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.
    If neither of those fix it, then it's toast. it will have to be replaced.

  • User Settings keep resetting

    I have an I-Mac. I keep using the get Info to set my preferance for opening photos and other items. I find that the computer keeps resetting them to the default settings. For example I want my .jpeg files to open with Adobe Photoshop but they keep resetting to preview. I want certain items to open in Firefox but it keeps resetting to Safari. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You are doing nothing wrong. It sounds like LaunchServices is confused.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • Why does my apple tv keep lagging

    My apple TV keeps lagging/freezing then it catches up with it self when im watching a film from my mac or on itunes and if i bought a film from apple it does the same thing.  Ive had this apple TV for over a year and never had a problem, then all of a sudden about 6months ago it has these problems, iv'e done all the updates and reset etc and still the problem is there,  i have really fast internet so i dont know what else to do.  I was going to buy a new one then i read that someone else had same problem and bought another one and that one has the same problems too.  Lots of people are saying that its apples fault as they havent got an update for it yet, and because of the last update these are the problems we are having now.. How can I resolve this problem? is this a problem with the apple tv?

    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Ipod will not charge, keeps resetting, extremely low battery.

    Someone please help!!
    I adore my Ipod, its 2+, it was working fine, till a few months ago.
    In the beginning, it stopped charging on the computer, it synced, but i would have to charge in on a Ipod radio thing first.
    Then after awhile, on the radio, (it worked perfectly at first) the ipod would come up with the message, "This accessory not supported by Ipod", it would still play on it, movies, songs, and charge it, but the message would come up every often.
    Now it refused to be recognized by the radio, and won't charge.
    (yet if you press play the song and movies will play)
    It had very little battery left so i bought a wall charger.
    I tried charging with a wall charger and car charger!
    Now its basically dead, and when i plug it on to the wall charger, the apple logo comes on, and it goes to low battery message, then apple logo..again again.
    It just keeps resetting, so i took it off that.
    Leaving on the charger for awhile won't work, because it just keeps doing that.
    What do i do?
    I can't restore it, because i'd have to charge it first!
    (I got a new battery for it a few weeks ago, the battery life was way better, charged a bit faster, and it seemed to work better, but the computer still drained it)
    Anybody have any ideas?
    Please please please.
    I swear i love it, but i'm going to throw it out the window soon.
    -edit,
    just to add, the first thing that went wrong, that started this thing, was when i got that -48 error, it doesn't do that anymore just to add

    I have the same problem and sent my ipod to a the service center for a battery replacement. I was informed by them first by email that "Our technicians have performed full diagnostic checks on your IPOD 5TH GENERATION and have been unable to reproduce the symptom(s) you reported when you requested the repair. As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality." then I was told over the phone that they reloaded the software and firmware and that it is working properly and is being sent back to me. Then, and heres the kicker, I received my i pod back with a form stating it was a hardware failure affecting another component. I have since called multiple times and no one can tell me where the hardware failure is but the ipod still says its a battery issue. Go figure i think apple knows exactly what the faulty part is that is causing this error and has no solution short of replacing the unit and they dont want to replace the units of all those with this hardware failure
