IOS 8 New iPhone 6 iCloud is asking for nonexistent Apple ID password
I just got my iPhone 6 and chose to restore it from an old iPhone backup. Now for iCloud it's asking me for the password to an old Apple ID associated with an email that doesn't even exist anymore. It's trying to verify me via email to that nonexistent email address. When I try to delete that iCloud account, in order to delete it it's asking for the password to this old/nonexistent Apple ID. I can't even reset the phone without this old Apple ID working. I tried changing my current ID to this old one, but then it wants to send email to that nonexistent email address. Help! I'm stuck in a loop.
I have the same issue. The new address is fine when I use iTunes and on my iCloud account, but my iPhone has my old e-mail address and when I try to change it won't accept my new or old password to be able to do so.

Playing songs asks for my Apple ID/password
When playing songs on my Iphone, I'm asked for my Apple ID/password. My current ID password will not allow these songs to play. The songs that it does this to are older songs that were purchased under a different password. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Enter the correct credentials for the account the media was acquired with.

You should remove his AppleID and restore it as new. -

Iphone keeps asking for wrong apple id password
So my phone kept asking for my apple id a few weeks ago, spamming and spamming it, on my 4gs, and i couldnt figure out the password so i couldnt log in. then just today i got the iphone 5, and created a new apple id, not using my old one for anything... yet it keeps asking me for it when im trying to update/download apps. ive tried to log out and log in again.. doesnt work. i dont know whats wrong?
My son had a similar problem when he got a new macbook. It would not let him update software on his brand new macbook.
Calling Apple support did not get it resolved.
Emailing iTunes (because they don't talk to you directly) didn't help. (somehow it was related to iTunes)
Making a Genius appt at the Apple store helped on the second try.
It should be they just delete the original id but I guess that is not done lightly due to thefts.
If I were you I would still call, email, and then get to the Apple store if you have to.
They had told us it was a rare situation and a complicated fix. That was last year and maybe it's easier now. Good luck. -
How do i stop tabs asking for my apple id coming up? i do not want to buy anything and i am not currently buying anything.
What do you mean by tabs? Are they windows?
Why not enter you password? Just do "purchase" any paid apps. -
Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?
Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
You bought a device that can never function so get your money back. -
When I download from App Store I don't get asked for my Apple ID password!
I am having a problem with ensuring my children are not downloading expensive apps on my iphone4 and our older iphone3. The problem is I am not asked for my Apple ID and password once I've signed. How can I ensure it comes up every time?

if that is such a hassle then why don't you just tell your kids they are not allowed to download any apps without asking you first? -
Ever since I updated to OS 5.1 my itouch has been asking me for my Apple ID password roughly about 6 times a day when I just leave it alone, like I'm not even downloading anything for it to even ask for my password so what is the deal? I've already tried doing a hard reset, still the same. And no I have not done a factory restore that's just a last step I'll ever do, it's just annoying to be constantly asked for my password.
You might have some app updates or other itmes that are trying to download.

After iOS 8 update, iCloud constantly asks for password
Hello, after I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 and iPad air I am constantly having the window pop up on both devices asking me to enter my password for iCloud. I've had to unlock the account twice now. Could this be due to activating family sharing with my wife? Or is someone trying to hack into my account and keeps messing up the password? Has anyone else experienced this sort of issue? Thanks!
Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iDevice and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud). Then sign back in (your data will download back to your device). See if that stops the prompts for your password.

I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup. I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere. How do I get the password or change it?
If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

New iPhone 4 keeps asking for voicemail password?
Hubs new iPhone 4 that he upgraded from 3G keeps asking for his voicemail password everytime he wakes it from sleep. He just hits cancel and moves on but it happens all the time. We don't even know what his voicemail password is and he never had to do that before on the 3G so what is up with that!
How can he get rid of this prompt?
Thanks!Press and hold the "1" key or your phone's keypad & follow the prompts to reset your voicemail password, or dial 611 from your phone & have an AT&T CSR reset it for you. Once done, the prompts will go away.

When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.
Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

my daughter is trying to download apps on her iphone and it keeps asking for answers to my security questions. the problem is, the questions its asking are not the questions i picked....i do not know the answers. how can i get around this?
I was told that if you reset the password then u can get in and reset the security questions, but I am having problems with it. Apple also has a page on it in there support area, u just have to type it into the search engine and it gives u a list a messages about security questions and support pages.
