IPhone 5s asking for Apple ID password at random times

So I can just be sending a text and bam... Please enter your Apple ID to sigh in. So I enter it and little while later I can be doing something g else like dialing a phone number and all of a sudden please enter your Apple ID password. I can cancel or enter it and it works fine but I'm kinda getting annoyed:(

I have the same or a similar problem.
I kept putting the password for my wife's Apple ID into the password alert. I then realized that it asked me for the password of my Apple ID, because all iTunes content, including apps, in our family is purchased using my Apple ID. Realizing this, I supplied my Apple ID password, and the password queries went away.

Hard restart iphone 4 asks for apple ID password

i normally sometimes do what is called hard restart for my iphone 4 (hold down the home button and the sleep button till the phone shuts down and the apple sign appears and te restarts) and the phone used to restart normally and asks for the lock screen code and when i enter it i access the phone.
for the past couple of days, when i do a hard restart, as soon as i enter the lock screen code and the phone unlocks, i get the small pop up window with my apple ID asking me to enter the apple ID password. and i enter the password and everything is normal.
i am jsut wondering, why does it ask for the apple ID password now upon doing a hard restart, when it didn't used to do so?

WHO calls this a hard restart? Apple doesn't.
The process you decribed is actually called a "reset" by Apple. Not a "hard" reset, not a "soft" reset, and certainly not a "hard restart". Simply a "reset".

My iphone always asks for apple id password

I constantly get the message "enter apple id password" even when I enter over and over again. How do I get this message to stop popping up? It does it when I am texting, checking email, listening to music, etc... It is really annoying...

Why is iCloud asking for apple id password? I have started using Last Pass to generate passwords that are more secure. Ideas please?

The iCloud password isn't saved anywhere on your device, this is the way it's supposed to work.

Asking for apple ID password constantly & Crashing apps

iOS 8.2, 6 Plus 64g
Since the 8.2 update, I have had issues with apps crashing pretty consistently, including Safari. Also, I am being prompted to enter my apple ID password about 30 times a day. It happens at random times, unlocking the phone, surfing Safari, etc. It's just asking for password, and not even finger print ID. I live about two hours from the nearest city & Apple Store, so I would like to avoid a Genius Bar appt if able to.
I can do the obviously and set up as a new device, but I would like to avoid that if there is a simple fix.
I am also having the problems everyone else is with cell service being terrible, unable to connect Bluetooth, and WiFi problems. I am constantly having to reset my network settings. Apple - Please give us a new update that actually fixes these issues soon! Any help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid, setting it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards, is the only way to make sure that this is not software related.
Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.
If it is working after that, restore from the latest backup again. If not, contact Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider to get it checked.

Why does iOS prompt repeatedly ask for Apple ID password?

Dear Apple Support Community,
Device: iPad 4th Generation (64GB WiFi + Cell/LTE)
iOS Version: Latest version at time of publish - 6.1.3 (6.1.4 is iPhone specific)
SITUATION: I am prompted for Apple ID password every time I access App Store or iTunes. Typically, this should only be required to confirm purchase(s) or if password has "timed out" between purchases.
Additional Information: I suspect this is associated with Pre-ordered Movies and Music. This was experienced only after Pre-orders on all versions of iOS 5 and 6.
Thanks in advance for your help, guidance, and coaching a "Technoid."

Michael,
Thank you for proposing a solution. However, it appears my restrictions are "Off". Your thoughts appreciated.

I have set up a new itunes library and am trying to sync this with my iphone. My iphone is asking for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

I am trying to sync my iphone with a new itunes library. The iphone is askin for an 'exchange' password. I don't know what this is or where to find it.

Sounds like you do have an Exchange account setup on your phone. Have a Gmail or Hotmail account? They can both be setup as Exchange accounts. Have a work email account?

How to stop the ATV asking for Apple ID Password

I just upgraded to 6. Now everytime the ATV boots up (I turn it off at night) it asks for my AppleID password. This never happened under 5.x. I do not rent or buy iTunes stuff from my ATV. I do not want to enter my password because I never had to under 5.x, how can I stop it asking for my password?

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
any help appreciated.

How can I stop my iphone 5 from asking for Apple ID Password constantly?

I've had this problem ongoing for awhile now and it's starting to drive me nuts.
A few months back I was using an app where you could purchase in-game points which would come through your apple ID. I purchased the points and they never arrived, but it's like my phone is constantly now trying to buy the points over and over. Randomly even when the app is closed I'll be asked for my Apple ID password, even if the app is deleted from my phone. If I enter my password it'll go away for a little while and then try again later. So I figure it is just continually trying to make the purchase and fails each time.
I've contacted the support for the app and they never reply to any support email questions, I've looked around online and similar problems seem to be fixed by people looking at pending downloads sitting in itunes on their PC, but there is nothing pending at all. I've changed my Apple ID password. I've made sure it was synced with my phone, I've cleared it from my phone and re set it up again ... nothing seems to work.I even reset my phone entirely and it continues to ask .. it's like the problem is linked more with my apple ID rather than the phone itself. But I'm out of ideas of how to stop it.
Any suggestions? It's incredibly frustrating!

Turn the account off in settings.

Updated to IOS 7.0.6. Error code 6 during install. Restored using iCloud. Now iPhone keeps asking for apple ID and password.

Apple ID is a random person's ID. I hit cancel and a new ID pops up. This happens 5 times in a row.
Later the same thing happens with the same 5 apple ID's.
I have erased the Apple ID and entered my ID and Password but I still get the pop ups.
I have entered my Apple ID and password everywhere I can think of.
How do I solve this issue?

Did you purchase this phone new, or is it a used device? It sounds as if it is asking for the Apple ID and password for the original owner. See this support link about Activation Lock, Apple's anti-theft device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

Asking for Apple ID password bought from someone else...

I just bought an Iphone off a mate of mine but they already have an icloud account on there. Each time i go to install an app and music from app store it asks for password of the previous user, is there any way of disabling this so that I can use my account for things??

Settings > iTunes & App Stores
Sign out of the former users's account and sign into your own. Note that if there are any apps or other content left that were purchased by the former owner, it will still prompt you for that user's account for updates. I'd suggest restoring the iPhone to factory settings:

so that you can start completely fresh with your own account, apps, etc.

Asking for apple id password

After the latest iOS update my iphone 4 is asking for my apple id password nearly everytime I unlock the phone. It has updated all apps and has been sync'd. I will enter the password and it will stop for a little while and start back again. What is going on with it???

Settings>Store...is your Apple ID shown? If not, sign in. If it's shown, tap it...sign out...then sign back in.

Email keeps asking for Apple ID password

Every time I use my email on my iphone5 it asks for my Apple ID password. How do I fix this?

Hello Kves13,
Removing and readding the affected e-mail account (likely your iCloud e-mail) should help prevent this dialog from appearing.

I'm being asked for apple id password to an email address I have not created or linked to my account...

When I try to download apps or update apps on my iphone I'm being asked for a password to an apple id (email address) that I have not created or linked to my account. I've tried re-setting my apple id - but same message keeps appearing - so can not access itunes app store or update apps I've already downloaded.
Has any one else experienced this? Or any ideas how to remove this email address?

You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.
