Apps won't download, keeps asking for password even after I enter it.

When I go to download any app, it asks for my password, I enter my password, it thinks for a second, then asks for my password again.  It does this continuously and no apps will download.  Please help.  So far I have tried to sign out of my Apple ID then restart the phone and sign back in.  I have tried going to Settings > Wifi then hitting the info button and hitting Renew Lease.  I also made sure my Data & Time settings were set to automatic.  These were all of the suggestions I have seen, need some more!

Yes, it shows it, and it is correct.  I even tried typing in an incorrect password, and it says that password is incorrect when I am typing my password wrong.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

    After setting up new account with iCloud so I can use the app store it asks me to answer three security questions for further security then I am prompted for my password to log in then I put in password and it never logs me in and keeps on asking for my password. I went over all setting but found no problems wit network as I can go on line etc, if anyone has had this issues please help. I was able to download too apps and then was prompted to answer these questions and it would not let me proceed.

    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • My apps will not update, keeps asking for password

    I am trying to go on and update my apps. It did not recognize my password, I reset my password and updating my system to the iOS 7, once it had restarted I went back to my apps it prompted me to enter my password. I did, and the update circles but does nothing then says update again. I don't know what else to do. Help!

    Hello J9Coutts,
    The steps below can help get your iCloud account updated on your device.
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Mail keeps asking for password even though I checked "add password to ..."

    keychain"
    This started happen a few days ago. Every few minutes when it checks my main mail account, the password box pops up. I searched on here, saw recommendation for running Keychain FirstAid. Ran it and it gave me this error message:
    "Repair started
    Checking keychain configuration for user (user ID=501)
    Home directory is /Users/user
    Checked login keychain
    User differs on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, should be 501, owner is 0
    Owner not corrected on ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.plist, reason: No such file or directory
    Checked default keychain
    Checked keychain search list
    Checked contents of ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
    Checked contents of /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.keychain
    Warning: some problems were not fixed
    Repair failed"
    How do I fix this problem? l have several mailboxes for different accounts and I have seen this happen occassionally with them as well.

    Of course you only had read access to that file. That’s precisely what I said and why I suggested to do File > Get Info (⌘I) on com.apple.security.plist, to fix that problem by changing the Owner in the Ownership & Permissions > Details section, which was wrong and the cause of the problem...
    Anyway, the file should be re-created when needed, so I wouldn’t worry about that. Actually, opening Keychain Access and running Keychain First Aid again may cause the file to be re-created.
    The thing is, do you still have the problem of Mail repeatedly asking for the password? If Keychain First Aid doesn’t report any problems now, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
    Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
    Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
    Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
    You may also want to check with the provider of this account in case they’ve made some changes recently that could have a bearing on this.

    Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

    Thanks.

    Hi, Trex8.
    There are a couple things that you can try to resolve this issue.  First, I would recommend processing any updates needed to the computer and iTunes.  You can check for updates in iTunes by selecting the help menu and check for updates.  If iTunes is on the current version, see the article below. 
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

    Make sure to test the results after each troubleshooting step processed.

  • ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

    Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:
