IOS 5.1.1 Apple ID password prompt in Safari

After upgrading to iOS 5.1.1, Safari keeps popping up a dialog asking for my Apple IS password. I have closed all tabs and started from scratch, and restarted. Any ideas for why this is happening and how to stop it would be appreciated. The dialog seems to pop up whenever I click on a hyperlink or go back to my iGoogle home page. When I hit Cancel, nothing bad seems to happen, but it is an annoyance.

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18360147#18360147
Looks like icloud regression.

  • Apple Mail Password Prompt

    Hi.
    I have 2 email accounts setup with mail, a mobile me account and a hotmail account.
    While I have selected for mail to remember the passwords, the hotmail account is also asking to input the password, and if I dont reenter the password it takes the hotmail account offline.
    Ive already tried removing the account and adding it again. Doesnt seem to matter. It asks for the password almost everytime it goes to check for new mail, as far as I can tell.
    If I do enter the password, even though I click the box to remember it, it will ask again next time.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi, I have that same annoyance and setup. When it pops up, just hit cancel, refusing to believe it forgot your password. Then, I just right click on hotmail inbox and choose "take hotmail online." Sometimes it gets stubborn, so I take it offline first, then back online. It works without entering the password at all. Apple and Microsoft just don't get along, in many ways. No matter how many times you redo it, it won't work, because it's not really forgetting the PW. Yahoo is even worse. That's why I simply use Gmail, and it ends the whole issue.

  • Apple id password not accepted after ipad update to ios5

    So I've just upgraded my iPad 2 with ios 5 and the apple id password doesn't work.  I've reset the password 4 times now and still it's not accepting it.  I've turned off the iPad and tried again and still no joy.  Any ideas?

    Well this is simular to the problem i have had in rencent log ins on apple. 1. Is the email correct? 2. Did you type the password correct? (There HAS to be an upper case letter in the pass because apple accounts' passwords REQUIRE at least one uppercase letter) If this was not helpful please try again or add more details next time.

  • 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.

  • I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password. Please help.

    I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
    All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
    I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
    I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
    I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
    Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank you

    My iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
    It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
    I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem.

  • How do i stop an old apple ID and password prompt from always popping up on my phone during normal use ?

    How do i stop an old apple ID and password prompt from popping up on my phone screen during normal operations ?

    How to change the Apple ID on my iOS Device
    Settings > iTunes & App stores.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
    Settings > Facetime.
    Tap your Apple ID, sign out then sign back in with new AppleID.
    Settings > Messages.
    Turn off iMessages, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.  Go to 'Receive messages at' and then tap your Apple ID.  Sign out of the old ID, then sign in with new Apple ID.
    Settings > iCloud.
    Delete the account (make sure to KEEP the information on your phone), then turn it back on with new Apple ID.
    Also, delete any apps that were downloaded with the 'old' Apple ID, then reinstall them with your 'new' ID.

  • HT4211 Trying to update my apps but when prompted to enter in my Apple ID password, it's not my email ?

    Downloaded an app and entered my thumb print for verification. Was successful. Prompted to update my apps. When I chose to do do, prompts me to enter my Apple ID password, but the email is not mine. Tried several times, multiple diff emails come up, but not mine.

    what are you trying to update? your ipad's software?  if you don't see icloud in settings you may not have ipad software ios 5.0 or later.  Try connecting your ipad to itunes on your computer, make sure itunes is up to date, and check for updates. 
    before you update, back up your ipad in itunes and transfer purchases from your ipad.
    here's how to back up: right click on the name of your ipad on the LEFT side of itunes and choose back up
    then click file > transfer purchases from ipad.
    Once you've backed up update your ipad to ios 5 or 6.  Then you can use icloud.
    If your password isn't being accepted make sure you are typing your email address correctly, and be very careful when typing the password.  Reset the password at iforgot.apple.com if you have to.

  • After upgrading my iphone 4S to iOS 7 every time the automatic backup on my iCloud account start it requests to verify my Apple ID password.

    Since I updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 every day when I put my iPhone in charge and it starts my backup in my iCloud account, it request me to verify my Apple ID password.
    Every day I have to put my password to make the backup start.
    I have enough space on my account to make the backup.
    I have an iPad 4, updated to iOS 7 too, but with it I don't have the same issue when backing up in the iCloud.
    I'm only experiencing this issue with the iPhone.
    I already tried to restore complitely my iPhone and turned off and on again iCloud.
    Thank you for your help.
    Regards

    An update - it was just taking too long to copy all the data again to the phone so I stopped the copy. Then I was able to complete the setup of the phone and most of the data was there -- just not the music I had selected. Not a problem, at least I can make calls.
    Next step will be to update the phone again (when I've sufficiently recovered from my annoyance) and add the music I want.
    Otherwise, I'm okay with the interface. No big problems.

  • IOS 6.1 on iPhone 5: multiple Apple ID password requests on restart

    After installing iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 5 and restarting the iPhone, I was besieged with requests to enter my Apple ID password...6 in a row, one after another. After things calmed down, I turned off the iPhone completely and turned it on again to see what would happen, and got another 6 password requests. This onslaught of requests does not happen on my other two iOS devices, an iPad 2 and a 3rd generation iPad, but it happens every time I power down (not sleep, but power down) and then restart the iPhone.

    No. You must sign in with your Apple iD.

  • Facetime on my ipad does not recognise my apple id password after i have upgraded to iOS 6.1

    After upgrading my ipad to iOS 6.1, Facetime does not recognise my Apple ID password. The password works fine on the app store, I have even tried changing the password, but Facetime refuses to recognise the password, and therefore unable to activate. Has anyone else faced such an issue?

    The Connect to iTunes screen appears when something went wrong on your iPad or the update requires connecting your device to your computer running iTunes. Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Usually you will be guided through the process of getting your iPad running again. If not come back here for assistance.

  • I have OS X 10.8.5 trying to upgrade. Have downloaded latest OS X Maverick but to install I am prompted for the Admin Password. I don't believe one was ever set up. I have tried my Apple Id Password but not accepted, Advice appreciated.

    My system is Mac HD OX S 10.8.5. I want to upgrade 10.9.1 and have downloaded it. However, to install it I am prompted for the Admin Password. I don't believe one was ever set up. I have tried my Apple Id Password but not accepted, Advice appreciated?

    If you have 10.8.5 you don't have a PowerPC Mac (PPC).  PPC is for pre-2006 Macs.   Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to make sure you have an Intel Mac and that you didn't flip the 5 and 8 in your operating system indication.  If you actually have 10.5.8 but you have Intel it gets a lot more complicated to install 10.9.
    10.5.8 is the maximum for PowerPC.
    10.6 can be upgraded on Intel with this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    And it also help you get up to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 as needed.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
    will help someone with 10.5.8 determine if they are ready to jump to 10.7 or later.
    If you have 10.8.5, you must install 10.9.0 first (free from the Mac App Store) to get to 10.9.1.
    Backup your data:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    and check http://www.roaringapps.com/ and your printer, scanner, and peripheral  drivers are compatible with third party vendors before upgrading to 10.9.

  • Ios App asks me for the password to an old apple id. When I try to rset the password, it does not send a message to the email address it should send it to. How can i fix this?

    need to know how to reset an old apple id password when the process to rest sends the instructions to a email address but its not there when i go to the email inbox.

    Hi, cameo557.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you are receiving a prompt for an old Apple ID when attempting an update.  You cant attempt to reset that password for the Apple ID via the steps in the first article below.  If you need assistance with this or are not receiving the email, see the second attached article.  You can also delete the applications in question and download them again with your new Apple ID.  However, this will cause any application data in those applications to be deleted and you may be charged if these are paid for applications.
