Ipad keeps asking me to enter my password for my Apple ID

I have a 4th Generation 16GB 9.7" ipad, iOS 7.1.2, ipad. Woke up this morning and got a message on my iPad telling me to enter my password for my Apple ID to sign into the iCloud. I couldn't do anything else. I couldn't access any other screen. I turned off the ipad. The message was still there. I thought it was a major problem, so I decided to restore the iPad. I connected the ipad with a USB cable to my computer then followed the prompts for backing up and then restoring the ipad. Took about 1 hour. Afterwards, the message was still there.
I finally resorted to entering my password on the ipad for my Apple ID to sign into the cloud. I do not really use the cloud, and don't remember for what purpose that I set up the cloud on this ipad. After entering my password for the Apple ID, I proceeded to delete my icloud account on this ipad.
Was this original prompt a normal message ? Why did I get this message ?

HT5622 Why does my iPad keep asking me to verify my password.....over and over and over again?

My iPad keeps asking me to verify my password all night tonight.

I log on here and I see my mothers name and my email address. We live 300 miles apart and she doesn't know my info...how has this happened ?

Iphone 5 keeps randomly asking me to enter the password for my flickr account??

When I open a contact on my phone, it asks me to "enter the password for the Yahoo! account "Flickr"". Which makes absolutely no sense. Flickr is hard coded into my phone and keeps asking for this and I don't have a flickr account. Any ideas??
I've tried everything, uninstalling flickr, setting up an account with flickr and registering an account, deleting my accounts, syncing my phone, updating, EVERYTHING, with no luck. This is becoming seriously irritating.... Any help would be amazing!

Without access to that account with the correct password, you can't. You might try contacting the Apple account security team to see if they can help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Hello everybody
I bought a new iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 installed. When I connected it to itunes for the first time to activate it iTunes asked me to enter the password for an account that the iPhone is locked to like if the device was used before what shall I do? PLease reply soon

I can't do that because the device was purchased from United Arab Emirates and I got it as a gift in Syria but the problem is that there is not even a single apple store in Syria so is there another way to fix that, I googled it and was told to jailbreak the device whitch I did and than hacktivated it but the problem is the device doesn't connect to any network and only shows "no service" and the battery draining too fast so is there any other way to fix this issue

Hi appledapple1964,
After changing your Apple ID information, you may need to manually sign out and sign back in on your devices so that they may recognize the update. You may find the following article helpful:

What different Apple ID? Yours? Your friends? Your dogs... ? I think we are going to need more information. You're probably best setting up the phone as a new phone and restoring from iCloud later on.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it. I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail. Is there anythin

My computer continually asks me to enter my password for Keychain access. This problem is continuos and I am having trouble with eliminating it.
I have changed my password through Security and my Accounts numerous times to no avail.
Is there anything I can do other than Resetting the entire computer and re installing all of the software, apps, etc.etc.

Back up all data before proceeding.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
          Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
          Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ First Aid
There are four checkboxes in the window that opens. Check all of them. if they're not already checked. Close the window.
Select
          Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.
If you use iCloud Keychain, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the Keychain box. You'll be prompted to delete the local iCloud keychain. Confirm. Then re-check the box. Follow one of the procedures described in this support article to set up iCloud Keychain on an additional device.

Can anyone help or suggest where I can find this password or reset it...?
Much appreciated.

My iPad2 keeps asking me to enter my password after updating to iOS5.1

Hello,
I can't find the answer to this after lots of searching and it's driving me crazy!
My iPad2 keeps reverting back to the Lock screen and asks me to enter my password. This happens whilst in the middle of using apps, especially ones that involve video. This only started this week when it was updated to iOS5.1. When I sign back in, it is just on my Home screen and the app has shut down. When I go back into the app it isn't at the point that it forced me to leave it.
It is not technically my iPad and as a result I've got to have certain settings on it - I've got to have a password of at least 8 characters and I'm not allowed to reset the whole thing. I can't turn those settings off.
I have tried a restart by pressing the lock and home buttons at the same time, but that hasn't worked.
Is it possible to just go back to using iOS5? Or is there another way of fixing it?
Any advice would be appreciated!

I don't know of a way to lock out of Settings. However, go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Although you cannot restrict settings, there are some other things that you can restrict, like app purchases, etc. Basically, what this will do is require a 4-digit passcode SEPARATE from the one used to unlock the iPad. No one can use features that you have chosen to restrict without knowing the password.

My iPad keeps asking me to insert my user name and apple password every 10 mins or so. Anyone know why and what I can do to stop this? Thank you

Myipad 1 keeps asking me to insert my user name and apple password every 10 mins or so. How can I prevent this? Thank you.

I don't know how wide spread this issue is. I've only come across the thread I posted before.
You can provide feedback to Apple here.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I wouldn't wait for an update from Apple.
I have several other wireless devices (laptop, iPod touch, blackberry) which have absolutely no problems at all.
Since it's just the iPad wi fi issue, try restoring as new.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3828
You may have an app installed that's causing problems with your Wi Fi. After you restore as a new device, sync 5 apps at a time, then test the Wi Fi on the iPad. Keep syncing apps... you might find a culprit.
Scanning the Internet there seems to be lots of other people having this problem.
Do you have the links?
