Ipad asks for icloud password

Ipad mini on Power on asks for iCloud password

To clarify this issue:
I do have a different (few years old) Apple ID and created new iCloud ID when I purchased this iPad mini. My passwords for Apple ID and iCloud are different. Ipad asks for Apple ID whenever I want to purches any new App or music what seams to be correct.
iCloud Photo Stream works fine on PC as well as on iPad.
After Power on my iPad mini I have a popup asking for iCloud password. Regardles if I  enter my pass or just click "Cancel" it goes away and everything including iCloud and iCloud email works fine. When there is no WiFi available It cannot verify entered password anyway and is keep asking until I click Cancel.
Process of pressing and holding Home button and Power button didn't change asking for password.
I went to Settings->iCloud->Delete Account and deleted it opting for remove and merge and leter I Signed to iCloud again. No change..
I chatted with Apple and they suggested to reset WiFi somewhere in Settings->General----..
This solved the problem for few hours. What I mean when I tried Power off and then Power on again while chatting with Apple the iPad didn't ask for password. After an hour or so it asked again and now is keep asking for iCloud password on power on again although not every time. It has nothing to do with WiFi because it did the same while I was connected to a few different WiFis or not connected at all. Since entering the iCloud password or Cancel does not make any difference until I power it off it means there is a bug somewhere in the Apple's software.
I do not have many Apps installed and in a mean time I removed King Photo because it was failing sometimes.
I'll chat with Apple again as soon as I have at least one hour free time during work hours.

  • My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
    Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
    I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hopefully this will me get you back up.

  • IOs 8.1 Mail app keeps asking for iCloud password

    Since the update to iOs 8.1 i have a problem with my mailbox.
    Every time i want to create a new mail, it asks me for my iCloud password.
    This happens on my iPhone (6) and iPad (Air) while im in my iCloud inbox, Gmail inbox, or just the general overview.
    Whenever i press the create new mail icon it will ask for my iCloud password.
    - When i give the iCloud password (correct one) it wont ask for it again in the next 15 mins
    - When i dont give the iCloud password (cancel) i can just send mails but it will ask for the password whenever i create a new mail.
    What i did:
    - Remove iCloud account > reboot > Add iCloud account > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove Keychain  > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud photo's > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud mail > still asks for the iCloud password.
    - Remove iCloud > solves the problem but i dont want to remove iCloud
    - Disabled all iCloud options, (mail, contacts, etc) > didnt solve the problem
    - Disabled 2 step verification > didnt solve the problem
    Everytime i want to create a new mail, u see the phone/pad use the "syncing icon" 3x 5 seconds, maybe a link here?
    Anyone else with any ideas that i can try?

    That's interesting that it didn't start to happen after a while on your work iPad. I just tried my iPad this evening and I'm getting the same iCloud password popup message when I try to create a new mail or enable "Contacts Only' in Airdrop.
    I still think it's a problem with our iCloud accounts. Some flag in the system isn't set or something for some reason. I don't even have mail switched on in my iCloud account so there is no valid reason why Mail.app would try and authenticate to iCloud just because we create a new email.
    Signing out of iCloud fixes the issue for me (not that it's a valid long term solution) so that points the finger directly at a setting on my server side iCloud account I think.

  • New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

    Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
    Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.

  • IPhone Continually Asking For iCloud Password

    I've recently updated to iOS 8.1 on iPhone 5s.  Since then it asks for my iCloud password every time I unlock the phone.
    I have entered the password for my account in the settings area for iCloud and it has verified there.  But still asks me.
    I have keychain access turned on on the iPhone in settings.  When I turned this off it stopped asking for the password.
    Why is this?

    This is not fixed by turning off keychain.
    iphone still continuously prompts for password for my iCloud account.

  • IMessage Constantly Asking for iCloud Password - Mavericks

    Hi, I've been having issues for quite some time now with my iMessage on my MacBook 2010.  I started having issues with Mountain Lion where I was unable to sign in.  After updating to Mavericks upon release I ran into issues where iMessage constantly asks me for my iCloud password.  I honestly just quit using the program because it was so frustrating.  I've decided to give it another shot and have scoured these fourms.  I have deleted all associated passwords in Keychain Access, checked my Disk Utility for any repairs that might be necessary, signed out of my iMessage account in the program and signed back in only find that my phone number is no longer associated with iMessages on my MacBook.  I'm very frustrated that a core component of the OS simply won't work and I've tried everything that I can find on the support community forums.  If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    That was me, sorry for the confusion.
    It is Preferences > First Aid Tab...
    If the only account in the Messages App that is supposed to be active is the iMessages one then the Status item in the Message Menu means nothing.
    This only refers to Accounts that have Buddy Lists (and therefore a Status according to the Servers they connect to, the exception being the Bonjour account)
    An Apple ID can be an iCloud ID.
    Obviously the password is the same.
    Is this the Apple ID you use for iCloud ?
    If it is try turning Off the iCloud Keychain for now in the System Preferences > iCloud.

  • Do apps need to ask for iCloud password?

    This might be a dumb question... But I installed a note-taking app from the Mac App Store, which saves all your notes in icloud. And when I installed it, it asked for my icloud password. This is the same password that I use to buy stuff in the AppStore.
    I am assuming that it is okay, because you obviously need to give it access to icloud if it's trying I save stuff in it, but it am naturally a bit paranoid... So is it normal for apps to do this? Would you enter your password in those circumstances?

    App Store products are reviewed by Apple, and in theory if an app was stealing your password and sending it to the developer, that would be picked up. In practice, there's no guarantee that the review process is adequate, and a few security breaches have been reported.

  • Asking for iCloud Password

    I'm being asked for my iCloud password when I'm in Mail on on my iPhone 4S.  I've been trying to fill in my Apple ID password, but it's not correct.  Are there different passwords for an Apple ID and iCloud.  If so, where can I go to get my iCloud password?  I'm not interested in changing my Apple ID password, and that's the only thing I can find.  Thank you in advance!

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • IPad keeps asking for iCloud password

    Hello,
    My iPad mini has gone a bit crazy. All of a sudden it started asking me to sign into iCloud by entering my Apple ID password. It is not allowing me to proceed to the normal home screen past the iCloud prompt. When I push the 'Cancel' button, the iCloud sign-in prompt just reappears straight away.
    I don't use iCloud and I don't wish to sign in but this prompt is not letting me use my iPad unless I sign in. It worked perfectly fine before without this iCloud nonsense.
    How do I get rid of the prompt? I need to fix this a.s.a.p. as I need to use my iPad tomorrow on a flight.
    Thank you

    Since you aren't using iCloud, I assume it's just a software glitch, so try resetting your iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I bought a new iPad and want to sync to my iCloud.   We'll I updated my Apple ID and password as we'll.  however it won't allow me to sign in to the cloud because it still brings up the old Apple ID and asks for a password.

    I have purchased a new iPad.  I am trying to sync my music and apps.  I also updated my Apple ID and password.  So when I go to sync my old Apple ID pops up asking for a password but I have already changed the info.  So the new password does not work.  How do I get the new iPad to recognize the the updated info so I can sign in to my iCloud account?

    On your iPad, delete the existing account then sign back in with the new ID and password.

    Without that Password you will not be able to re-activate it.
