Ipad keeps asking me to set it up

Go to sync ipad and it says restore or set up as new ipad.  I restore to back up and it starts all over again.  What's going on?  I can't sync.  I can't uncheck open itunes when this device is plugged in because I never get far enough in to do that.  Should I set up as a new ipad yet again?

This is how it looks with a 3rd party web browser.

    ISSUE FINALLY RESOLVED!!!!!!
    So, it turns out, I had to restore the iPhone...with a twist! Here are the steps:
    FIRST BACK UP YOUR DEVICE
    1. Go to the library (Hold option, click on "go" in the finder, then go to library)
    2. Go to your iTunes folder in this Library (not application support, the main iTunes folder)
    3. Go to the iX software folder (i.e., iPhone software, iPad software, etc.) and delete the file in this folder
    4. Hook up the phone and then click on restore iPhone.
    At this point, it will redownload the entire OS again. You must then restore the iPhone. As it is downloading the iOS, you can disconnect and use your phone for probably however long you want (I did the restore the same day as the download) and when you are ready you can hook up the phone and restore it.
    THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP FOLLOWS:
    And one many may dislike. Upon restoring the phone, you MUST select "Set-Up as new iPhone"
    You need to make sure you've backed up EVERYTHING elsewhere. 3rd party, non-apple/icloud apps will lose data through this method, and you'll lose all texts, your call history, and super old voicemails. The upside is that, if you've backed up, then you can just restart the process if you forgot something. But seeing as how the popup was interfering with my ability to use iCloud (I couldn't sync anything, such as calendar events, reminders, etc.,  unless I had gone into mail to sign in to iCloud), it was totally worth it....no more popups.
    My only wish is that this thread becomes popular. Many people have this issue and you should only use this method as a super last resort (after trying literally everything I had written previously).

  • 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. Then I find out that my mother has been trying to set up a new account in her new iPad and its taken over my account details.....that she doesn't know? I'm so confused. 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 ?

  • Why does my iPad keep asking me to allow cookies when it already does?

    Since the weekend my iPad keeps asking for my id and password. When I enter it, it keeps saying I have to allow cookies before I can update anything or use iCloud, the cookies are enabled but it still won't work.
    Please can anyone help?
    Frustrating.

    Hey there Stirrups,
    It sounds like you are unable to sign into your iCloud account successfully due to this message that you need to accept cookies but you have that set correctly in Settings. I recommend starting by signing out of your iCloud account in Settings > iCloud. Then closing all the running apps on your iPad:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • Ipad keeps asking to connect to itunes

    hi
    my ipad keeps asking me to connect to itunes, where it says its in recovery mode and must be restored.
    the restore process keeps freezing midway (blue screens, glitches, etc..) which leaves me no choice but restart the process.
    when it did finish the process and i got to the home screen and started setting it up (finally) it froze up, which left no choice but hard reset,
    and again, it asks to connect to itunes..
    there is no apple store in my country and the premium resellers here are pretty much useless..
    is there any way fixing this so i'm not stuck with a couple hundred dollars worth of paper weight?
    please help

    Ceneus-
    When you say "hard reset", does that mean holding both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears?  If not, try that.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting (rebooting) this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
    Your problem does sound like your iPad may be defective.  Look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center.  There may be one in your city.  <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
    If there are none in your country, search the web for independent iPad repair centers near you.  Using them may invalidate your warranty, but they should be able to help.

  • Mistakenly added feed burner, don't have a blog and it keeps asking me to set my feed. How do i get this to stop it won't let me do anything else.

    I mistakenly added feed burner. I thought i was setting up to add blogs etc. that i was already subscribed to. Now it keeps asking me to "set your feed" and because of the drop down window asking for this it will let me do nothing else. I had to ask for this help in safari because firefox will do nothing now.

  • Since the iOS 8.3 update my iPad keeps asking for my old iTunes password(the account I don't use and can't reset as the e-mail address was hacked) As a result I can't update my apps because it reverts back to asking for my old iTunes password.

    Since 8.3 iOS update my iPad keeps asking my old iTunes password for an account I've disabled as my e-mail got hacked. As a result I can't update any of my apps ( I'm missing out on hay day) 

    Any content is tied to the account that you used to buy/download it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one, then you will need to use the old account to download updates to its apps. Can you not update your old account so as to have a new email address on it (e.g. via this page) ?

  • Ipad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud.  The problem is, I can't connect to the internet to do this because it keeps popping up.  It's a 'catch 22'.

    A pop up on my iPad keeps asking for my iCloud password, however, when I give it, it doesn't matter because I am not connected to the internet.  I CAN'T connect to the internet because of the popup.  How can I get rid of the pop up so I can connect?

    You have bought the book but have you previously downloaded it to your iPad?  If you go to your books collection and there is a little cloud icon on the cover of the book with a down arrow that means it's not stored on your device and you would need an internet connection to read/download it.  If that's not the problem and Demo's suggestions don't work how about trying this desperate move:  Settings > Airplane Mode  (turn on)     And try again.   Do you have other downloaded books in your collection?  If so do they act the same way or do they open ok?  If they open then there is something corrupt about that particular book in which case I would delete it and re download it when you have access to the internet.

    Meaning enter your username and password?
    Are you signed in - Settings>Store>Sign In? Maybe try in the App Store in the bottom left corner - you can access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store - check there.
    If you are signed in correctly - try signing out and then sign in again in order to refresh the account information.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in. Then try to redeem the card again.

  • When trying to download Apps ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect.

    When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.

    Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

  • Why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    why does ipad keep asking for icloud every second?

    Hey there mcsafranek,
    It sounds like you are getting prompted for your iCloud password very frequently. I would sign out of your iCloud account in Settings first:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    From: iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
              http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Then close all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into iCloud, and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists could you relay what exactly the message says when it pops up?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • My itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    my itunes keeps asking me to set my permissions.  they are set to read and write for all accounts, admin, everybody, etc.  don't know why it won't let me download

    Ever find a real solution to this? I just posted something similar - been having the issues ever since I started using the mac.
    I have 5 mac accounts: 2 of those are admins.
    After I installed every program I may possibly want, I redid all my user accounts (as I had been having a lot of permissions issues before that). My (admin) account downloads fine. Another admin account, set up exactly as mine, periodically gets prompted that it doesn't have the right to download.
    To avoid duplication, I have a /common/music directory for all itunes accounts music. We have to periodically do a recursive permissions deal on the 2nd admin account so it can put music there, even though that directory is read/write for everyone. Apple's never been able to help me on this...

  • Cant receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when I respond same message- password

    Suddenly can't receive my yahoo mail on my latest ipad, keeps asking for my password, when i
    put it in,same message flashes up, reset does not work, also waiting for apple time lapse, still does not want to give me my yahoo mail on this format, tried talking to apple online contact, cut off, I'm receiving through safari, nothing through my email app

    Give it time. Yahoo has been doing things to their servers that often muck up the Mail app. Usually it takes 24-48 hours to run its course then it'll work again.
    if it doesn't clear up by the end of the weekend, you can remove and readd your account, but chances are it'll just start to work.
