Iphone 4s issue with apple id prompt

My iphone 4s keeps asking me for my apple id password for the last 3 weeks, it happens almost every time i press any button on my phone, its driving me mad, is there anything i can do to stop this please?

Hi a couple of questions to start:
1. Do you have an Apple ID? If not it is a good idea to create one so that you can use iCloud - here's a link for creating and Apple ID: https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
2. Also what settings do you have on your iPhone in iCloud? Is anything entered?
Thanks

  • Iphone SMTP Issues with Apple 10.6 server.

    Hi!
    I use multiple iphones and blackberries at my place of employment. On the iPhones, sometimes we get errors on sending email, the error saying "The recipient "......@...." was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying".
    I am wondering if this has something to do with the provider cell network. I say this because this is not a constant, dependable, consistent error. Additionally, I have multiple authentication methods set up on the server, and changing around the configuration (ie turn ssl off, change from md5 to password) etc will get the phone to work. Then you can change config back to what it was and it will work as well.
    Right now I have 2 iphones, configured exactly the same for SMTP, 1 phone approx 1 mile away from where mine is. My phone works, the other does not. I am waiting for the user to bring his phone to me so I can do a side by side comparison.
    BTW this is in Vermont and Edge is a Rampant disease here......(IE we are on edge more than 3G)

    Allan,
    I am not sure that I dont allow that, IE im not sure where to set that(this is for allowing an employee to use a personal account through the authenticated SMTP of the company server). I thought as long as the user was authenticating through SMTP, which IS required, then it would in fact allow you to send whether using a personal or company.
    These security settings, for me, were set up out of the box, for the most part and have been pretty happy with the security level. I used common sense and logic when configuring my first Apple mail server, however I would have to go through it again and be more diligent about documenting in order to tell you what I set everything to. I had some help from Apple Support.
    Anyway im not sure what the personal accounts settings are, we DO allow employees to set up their own accounts, as long as they provide the configuratiuon and can set up themselves.
    This particular case seems to be more user created, not server side issue.
    To re-iterate, no relaying here. I send emails to Comcast regularly abuse@ to tell them to stop allowing their business accounts in the US to blast out spam....

    You are absolutely WRONG. Apple bears no responsibility in this at all. YOU purchased a STOLEN phone. You are guilty of receiving stolen property at best. Take it back to wherever you bought it and demand a refund. Failing that, turn it over to the police. You got ripped off. I'm sorry you wasted your money, but there is NOTHING Apple or anyone else can do for you. Only the rightful owner of the phone can unlock it.

  • Sound issues with Apple TV show rentals/"choppy" sound quality

    I have been renting "Lost" episodes from the iTunes store on my new Apple TV. There is something wrong with the sound quality. It's very choppy. Almost like a fan is cutting up the sound. Anyone else experience this problem? What's the fix?

    So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
    Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Why did carefully over heating my 4s restore the wifi function? This, after 2 months of mysteriously grey out wifi buttons, loads of time trying to resolve issue with apple tech only to be told I must pay $199 to repair the problem. I'm disillusioned now

    Is the Wi-Fi button greyed out?  Try this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    Also, make a backup to iTunes of the device.  Then restore it as a new device.  If you still have wi-fi greyed out, then contact Apple again, and explain that you believe you have a hardware issue.  They may still ask for a $19 deposit, but if it is actually hardware related, then you won't be charged the $19.  Only if it is software related do you get charged that $19.

  • What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500.

    What might be issues with Apple TV's compatibility with Samsung LED TV's, specifically the 5550 or 5500?

    I am shopping, with a focus on Samsung, and was told by a Samsung rep their TV's were not compadible with Apple TV. I found this difficult to believe so I wanted to pursue with persons knowledgeable with Apple TV.
    If I find that Samsung is not compadible I wanted to determine which lines, e.g. Sony, might be compadibile, as I wanted to use Apple TV.
    Thank yoyu

  • IPad air 2 not downloading or updating apps. Is this an issue with apple?

    I Just got the iPad Air 2 Wifi 2 weeks ago. I was able to only update a few apps which was very slow, then nothing all together. Can't download or update my apps. Keeps turning in a circle and not loading. Is this an issue with apple? This problem started with my iPad 2 before I upgraded thinking there might be little or no support for it by now. I cannot be going to iTunes every time I need to download an app. Doesn't make any sense.

    Thanks Brian. Did that already severally. Didn't resolve it. Had to had reset and reset settings before it started working. It's good now. Thanks once more.

  • IPhone 4S issues with wi-fi and iMessage & Apple support

    Against my better judgement and experience I bought an Apple iPhone 4S when it was released.  I should have remembered the extensive pain I experienced with Apple's so-called "support" when I had iPod/iTunes issues but I bought into the promise and the hype by Apple's marketing.  I'm still wondering why this product includes only 90 days of support if Apple is so confident in it's reliability.  So I was having increasingly frequent problems with my iPhone connecting or remaining connected to known strong and good wi-fi connections.  It would arbitrarily disconnect from my wi-fi and go to a 3G connection which of course causes me to use data on my Verizon data plan.  Usually I didn't notice the change in connection until I was waiting far too long for the requested information to show up.  As you can imagine, that issue will push me towards exceeding my data plan quckly and thus cost me more money on my Verizon bill.  Not acceptable. 
    Then in the last two weeks I started having an issue with iMessage/IM in being able to reply to messages.  I could read them, I could open and close the app, but once I tapped in the field to type my reply it froze.  I could not type anything.  I could close and reopen the app, same problem again.
    So I set up a call with Apple's glorious support system for which I had only a few days left on my extensive 90 day support term.  The lady that called me was friendly and fun to talk to.  No issues there.  She had me initiate a backup after checking a few things.  Because the backup was going to take about 20 minutes, she asked if she could call me back.  I was fine with that, no need to make small talk for that amount of time.  I got a call back but it was from a guy at another location. This concerned me but he said he had all the notes so I was hopeful.  He advised me that if there was some corrupt SW on my iPhone, restoring would only put the problem back on my phone.  I'm a sales guy in the IT industry, so I bought that.  He said he was going to set my phone back to "new" as if I just bought it, then would restore all my apps, settings, contacts etc back to my phone.  It was a big leap of faith for me, but I went along because they are supposed to be the experts. After spending close to an hour on the phone with this guy, who was also polite and fun to talk to, he has me start the restore process and waited on the phone with me for a while.  The process was taking quite a while, I think around 30 in total so about 20 min into the process he has me stop the restoring session and tells me I can restart it later.  He wants to check that my wi-fi is working.  It was, so he asked if there was anything else I needed.  I said just to put my phone back to the way it was with my apps, contacts, music etc.  He told me that would complete when I finished the restore.  I had to go to my company's office for the afternoon and spent much of that time resetting everything that was on my phone to how it was before.  I noticed that the iPhone had pulled every single contact from my Outlook db on my personal computer (where iTunes resides) and all the contacts that I had set up on my iPhone were gone unless they were also in my Outlook.  The really aggravating part of this issue is that I have about 800 contacts in my Outlook, many of which are people I don't want or need to have on my phone.  The contacts I had entered on my iPhone over the past almost 3 months were the people I call or call me.  All that data appears to be gone.  I have since restored twice and the same thing occurs, everything is set back to "new" status and nothing is the way it was.  I am now so angry I could crush this phone with a hammer and switch to the competition.  Neither of the very nice people who "helped" me told me I would lose any information.  In fact, both assured me my phone would be back to the same setup I had previous to their help. 
    I ask you folks at Apple, what is the use of backup if it doesn't back up AND restore all the information?  We have a saying in my business, "you can back up the entire world, but how well can you restore?".  I don't know if some step was missed along the way, or I initiated a restore from an incorrect target, but I am not a happy customer.  Add to that the fact that I'm locked into a 2 year contract on this thing, and have had issues with poor support before and I'm pretty angry.  I've gone into my local Apple store to ask a question about my iPhone's capability.  It was a simple question that required only a "yes" or "no" answer and I would have been fine either way.  What I got from the pasted on smile Apple associate was a sales pitch on the product I was showing her!  Continously smiling and telling me the world is beautiful does not answer questions or resolve issues.  I was eager to buy an iPad in the near future but with the pain I seem to get everytime I buy an Apple product, that purchase is never going to happen.  You can block me here, blacklist me or whatever you like to do to keep people from reading negative comments about Apple, but I will be posting this same story elsewhere as well.  For the amount of profit you make from these devices, I expect much better service and much less aggravation.
    Sincerely,
    Rick S.

    The nice thing about owning this overpriced POS is that Apple not only doesn't support it, but also doesn't want to hear about anything negative regarding it.  So I spoke to the so-called "support" people at Apple who successfully screwed up my contacts beyond repair.  I got a nice email from Apple asking me to rate the support I got.  I was actually civil and described the issue tactfully.  What do I get in return?  Nothing.  Not a damned thing!!  You're luck you've got me by the short hairs on a 2 year contract but I'm still tempted to throw this POS through the front window of the nearest Apple store!!  Not only will I be replacing this phone with a competitive product but I won't be buying anymore Apple crap.  I guess when you con 27 million people into believing your rhetoric and sales lies, you don't have to care whether some customers get screwed or not.  I'll be going back to Verizon and threatening legal action if they don't take this electronic dung heap back but I'm sure the teams of lawyers Apple and Verizon have on staff have insured that I have no rights in this matter and you're free to screw me anytime you please.  Sad. I used to love Apple as a company and your products.  Now you're just another Microsoft with more trendy looking junk.  I've had it with you.  If any of your executives are brave enough to talk to me, please contact me at your convenience.

  • Iphone 4S issues with wifi connection related to 8.2?

    I haven't had issues with this before and have had my phone for 4 months.  Suddenly this morning I was alerted I am almost at my data limit and I still have 14 days to go!  I noticed my phone wasn't connected to my home wifi!  I tried to connect several times and it told me the password was wrong.  I know it was right so I restarted my phone, router, and modem.  I was able to connect but had to leave for work.  When I got to work, I connected to the wifi as well in an attempt to not go over my data.  My phone connects, then I look at it a while later, and it says 3G again.  I googled the issue and found a lot of people talking about the same problem but it all seems to be from last year.  Anyone else having this problem suddenly?  I have Sprint.   

    Hello Elita One,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    To start troubleshooting this issue where your iPhone is dropping different Wi-Fi networks after being connected, I'd like you to please reset your network settings by following the directions outlined below.
    Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
    Have a good one,

  • Mail issues with Apple's Mail

    I was using Outlook Express to send & receive mail.  And then (because Outlook Express has been giving me fits with errors and needing to put my password in every time I wanted to use it)  I switched to Mail (the one that came on my Mac).
    And now, with Mail, something crazy is happening on my iPhone and iPad.  It showed that it was downloading and downloading and downloading, but I don’t know what it was downloading.  Archived stuff?  Everything that is in everything in every folder on my Mac?
    Then it stopped downloading stuff, and now it won’t send, I get an error saying that it Cannot Send Mail.
    I tried to delete my email account from settings so that I could start over, but the gear just spun and spun for over 30 minutes.
    I have no idea what is going on, but I think that it must be connected to the fact that I switched from Outlook Express to Mail.
    Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

  • Apple iPhone 5 Flashing with apple logo and load bar and apps working

    flickering, with apple logo and load bar and apps in that background that all work while screen flickering, had to restore my phone to get to stop flashing and eliminate the load bar.

    Hello missyfromsouthport,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning restoration issues:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You might need to use recovery mode if:
    You can't update or restore because iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's "in recovery mode".
    The Apple logo remains onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
    The Connect to iTunes screen appears.
    See what to do if the progress bar remains onscreen for several minutes
    Use recovery mode
    Recovery mode erases your device and restores it, which should resolve the issue. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you may be able to restore from your backup after recovery.
    Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
    Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
    Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
    When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
    iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
    Use iTunes to restore your device.
    If you don't see your device in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
    Additional Information
    If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Network issues with Apple products?

    I've got a weird issue with my Apple products connecting to certain networks. Two different instances:
    1) My parents house, my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro all have issues in contacting certain sites and apps. Things from google or apple servers wont work. Some things do, if I VPN to an outside network, everything works perfectly fine. I haven't been able to figure out what the root of the issue is. I've switched routers and contacted the network provider but they said it wasn't there fault. This has been going on for a bit. All non-Apple products seem to be fine.
    2) My office, I know even less details about the network here, but I'm having a similar issue where my Apple devices get connectivity for a bit then stop and then come back later. If I VPN again, everything works perfectly fine. All non-Apple products work fine.
    Anyone have any idea as to what this could be from?

    I am having the same problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Really need an update from Apple or a solution. Been reading a lot of posts on several discussion boards but nobody has come up with a solution yet. Apple really needs to send us a fix for this. I understand it is also hapenning in Lion.

  • WRT120N connection issues with Apple devices

    my family has a plethora of devices we connect to the internet wirlessly through our relatively new WRT120N router, including a desktop, 3 laptops, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touches, an iPad, and a Playstation 3. 
    The wireless on the laptops and desktop (all are PCs) is fine, but the wireless on the Apple devices is terrible. every 5 seconds or so the signal will drop and the devices will lose the connection with the wifi. You have to go to settings and wireless to reconnect, but that will only last you another 15 seconds (if you're lucky). I have updated the firmware on the router, but it didn't do anything.
    Does anybody have an idea of how to fix this problem? It's ridiculously annoying, and I have a feeling can be fixed with relative ease, especially since it's just the Apple products that are affected. 
    Thanks! 

    @ jimmypat1221,
    Same here and I did some research and here’s what I found.  I accessed the router settings by typing the 192.168.1.1 (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=856544c9d38d4e7a870493667aac568b_20603.xml&pid=80&...) and I found out that the firmware is not updated, so I upgraded the firmware my self. I downloaded first the firmware (http://support.linksys.com/en-apac/support/routers/WRT120N) and saved it to my desktop screen. Going back to the router settings and I just follow this link on how to upgrade (http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=96&vw=1&articleid=4030) and it was successfully upgraded.  I set my set settings on the router with channel 11 and the security was wpa2 personal. From then on I don’t have issue with any of my apple devices.
