HT5622 Constantly asked to input my apple id password

I have recently be getting a request to input my Apple ID request every time I unlock my iphone. Is this due to the hacking of Apple that occurred or am I having some other issue?

Just to confirm the 'Hacking' of apple was only in relation to their developer website and although some customer information was potentialy obtained, it was heavily encrypted and can not be accessed.
I would check to see if you have an app which is trying to update or possibly a service such as Find my friends, Find my iPhone or Gamecentre which hasnt had the password entered correctly. Also if you have the email address linked to you apple ID set up on your phone, I would check to make sure its not that password that the phone is requesting.

  • Iphone 4s constantly asks me for my Apple ID Password for no reason since upgrading to ios6

    Since upgrading my iphone 4s to ios6 the phone constantly asks me for my Apple ID Password for  no reason. I've gone into the Settings page and entered my password multiple time and this has not solved the problem.

    Since switching from iPhone 4 to 5 I am having the same problem.  I thought it only happened when I launched the app Line by Naver, but it's happening at other times now too. I have
    1. reset my iPhone at least 4 or 5 times
    2. erased and restored my iPhone twice
    3. tried installing Line from a different Apple ID/Apple Store (ie. US vs. Japan) at least 4 or 5 times
    4. turned off iCloud (in Settings)
    Still no luck.  The repeated password prompts are super frustrating.
    EDIT: I was running IOS 6 on my iPhone 4 for a few days before switching iPhones, and I did not notice the problem then.  Also, I thought somehow it might be related to an in-app purchase in Line, but also not sure about that.

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    Hi Jamjoint,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, 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.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • HT5622 Why do i keep receiving emails asking to reset my apple id password

    Why do i keep recieving emails asking to reset my apple id password ?

    It looks real, so smeone may be trying to break into your account if you keep receiving them. Rather than use a link in the email, you can use the link below to change your password or set up 2-step verification if your have an iPhone.

  • Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone.  So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.

    Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

  • The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.

    The iTunes Store is constantly asking me for my username and password.
    About the only thing I can do is log into the account, but it's constantly asking me for my user/password.
    I've read a number of discussions on the matter -
    I am running Lion 10.7.4 on iTunes 10.6.3
    I check the keychain access
    Reset passwords
    etc.
    Nothing seems to be working.
    Any other ideas?

    I have the exact same problem, it suddenly just started asking for the iCloud or iTunes password, practically every 5 seconds, no exaggeration. Even more frustrating than that, it rejects the password I enter, even though I'm positive that it's correct!  I can barely go from screen to screen without this infernal box popping up, and forget texting or using an app.
    After resetting the password & turning the phone off & on a few times, I just finished restoring it and the bloody pop-up was the first thing that came onto the screen when it restarted haha. I hope someone can help

  • Why is it asking for my moms Apple ID password when I try to update my apps?

    When  I download an app it asks for my Apple ID password, completely normal right? However when I go to update my apps it for some reason asks for my moms Apple ID password instead of mine, so why is this, how can I fix it?

    Looks like one or more of the apps on your device were downloaded using your moms ID.  You need to figure out which one, and delete it and DL it under your ID, otherwise you'll need to sign in with her ID.

    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • My new air Mac book is asking for my com.appl.icloudhelper password

  • Why am I asked to supply An Apple ID password for someone else

    When trying to access ITunes on my IPhone I am asked to supply an Apple ID password for someone I do not know.  There must be some error within the system that is causing this.  How can this be corrected?

    Doesn't matter it anyone else used your phone or not. What matters is where/how you obtained the content on the phone.
    Again:
    The usual cause of this is the fact that you have content, on your phone, obtained with that ID...apps, music, etc.

  • I can't use my Ipad because a pop up is asking me for my Apple ID password but when I write it and press Ok the pop up message keeps appearing! It doesn't let me do anything on my Ipad. I also have an Iphone and it is not doing this.

    I cannot use my Ipad because Im getting a pop up asking for my Apple ID password but when I enter it the pop up just keeps coming back and doesn't go away. It pops up every second it doesn't let me do anything on my Ipad not even turn on WiFi! The account and pasword are correct in fact I can use them fine on my Iphone. I have tried restarting my Ipad and turning it of, it doesn't work! What is happening and what can I do to fix it?

    Same problem for me.
    1. Cannot connect to wifi as icloud password pop up keeps appearing.
    2. tried deleting account. UNable to do so.
    3. tried resetting password by logging into apple id through desktop as mentioned in one of the responses in another thread. Unfortunately the apple id to be reset is the same as being prompted by icloud and hence unable to reset the same.
    Feel like breaking the **** ipad into bits. Stupid of apple to let such a bug in and not offer support !!
