mine does that too for some reason, i have no idea why it does it, i think its a security thing but its stupid for it to ask everytime.

Then you or your son has encrypted the backup in iTunes. This password is 100% whatever you or him put in when you turned on to encypt backups (its a check box in iTunes) and it has nothing to do with that code that was on the iPhone (unless by chance he decided to make it the same thing).
Anyhow, you can guess at an encryption password as many times as you like. Since it's a local encryption, there is no way to reset it. You either get it right eventually and then the restore will complete and you can turn if off in iTunes after that (using the password that worked), or the backup will never be usable without the password.
Keep trying to guess it until you give up, then just move on with setting the iPhone us as new.

IPhone asked me for the APPLE ID and pass

Hello friends, I bought a week ago iPhone 5S IMEI 013884000163883 broken on eBay
a Nice woman named Kate Benjamine sold her grandmother's iPhone after she died
I replaced battery and screen and it powers on after restore on iTunes
At the end of restore the iPhone asked me for the APPLE ID and pass
I contacted the seller and she tried to give me all sorts of names and passwords of her grandmother
For two days she gave me a lot of emails and passwords
She really spent a lot of time to help me
Question family and what not
She tried to reset password on Apple's site
But she was missing data
Now she asks what else to do
And I'm with her
She told me she wanted to help
Even in the face of Apple's representative
Please help in

You can't do anything, it's up to the person that sold it to you. You might pass on the following advice to the nice lady...
Contact AppleCare (or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
I'm not exactly sure what procedures are in place for such events but Apple can assist in such cases, but it may take a while and you may need to provide a death certificate and a note from the executor that the iPad has been willed to yourself.

Itunes keeps asking me for my password over and over and over and over again.

I have tried authorizing and deauthorizing the computer, signing out of itunes, checking for itunes updates, checking for unfinished downloads. Last week I called support to reset my account and password. It's working fine on the iPad, just not on the MacBook Pro. You name it and same problem. Can't purchase anything at all. Any clues?

that sounds like it is rejecting your password. confirm that you are not able to sign into http://id.apple.com - if not, reset your password.

Ipad keeps asking me for itunes password

Everytime I open up my App Store, Itunes App, or iBooks App, my iPad immedatiely asks for my password. It is quite annoying. I don't have any pending downloads and I've already tried restoring. Anyone have any ideas?

You have tried restoring, was that completed successfully? If not, try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Any time I want to delete anything by dragging it to trash, my computer keeps on asking me for my password. And once I write my password, the document is deleted without actually going first to trash. How can I solve this?

Hello there
I need some help from you guys
Any time I want to delete any thing by dragging to trash, my computer will ask me for my login password and once I write my password, the deleted document/file will not go to trash but it will be deleted instantly. How am I going to change this? Meaning drag documents/files to trash and than empty the trash. Can you help?
Thanks
Charles

Normally, that's caused because of a permissions problem. Have a look at this site > http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html#Anchor-Files-46919

FaceTime and iMessage just asked me for a password

I turned on the iPad today and when I went to Settings>FaceTime and Settings>Messages, each one forced a dialog box that requested for myassword. It's the first time I've seen it request for a password wheen I was already logged in. I couldn't access the area until I input my password. Restrictions were off.
Has anyone seen this happen before? And what causes that to appear?

It's a security feature that requires your Apple ID password when activating iMessage or FaceTime from the settings menu. It asks me for a password too, and I'm fairly sure it's always been there.

You can't get it reset; if you could there would be no point in having it. If you have an encrypted backup there are two ways this could have happened:
You checked "Encrypt Backup" in iTunes at some time in the past, either intentionally or by accident
You have a corporate MS Exchange account and your Exchange administrator installed a security profile on your phone that requires the phone'a contents to be encrypted. This, in turn, requires the backup to be encrypted for obvious reasons.
In either case you were prompted for a password the first time you backed up after whichever of these happened. So think about what you might have entered for a password at that time. Fortunately you get an unlimited number of tries. Other threads on this subject have shown that it is always a password known to the user, so it wasn't something made up by iTunes. Also, everyone who has figured it out has found it to be a different password type, so try your Apple ID password, your computer's login password, your WiFi password, your corporate domain password, etc. And try passwords that may have been changed since your first backup. As a last resort there is a professional password cracker available, but it isn't cheap - it's targeted at the law enforcement market - from Elcomsoft. There are also some scam password crackers available that don't actually work and possibly steal your information. It's likely that a developer of one or more of these will post a response with a link (possibly hidden) to their "product". So before clicking any links you might want to install the Web of Trust plugin that keeps track of scam sites and warns you. http://www.mywot.com.

HT5622 I've changed my Apple ID email and its all verified ok but on my iPhone 5 every time I go to update an App or buy an App it comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for a password. Why doesn't it have my new ID because on Apple ID link it does?

I've changed my Apple ID password and when I go to the Apple ID link the changes have been emailed and are all verified. However, when I try to do something with an App or iTunes etc on my iPhone 5 it still comes up with my old Apple ID and asks me for the password and I don't have the option to overtyped the Sppld ID section with the new email I've set. I can't update Apps or buy Apps because of this. Any ideas?
Thanks

Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘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.

I had a iPhone 3G and I change it in to a iPhone 4G 32GB! I have 3 apple ID account. The one I used is <edited by host> and I know my password but it ask me for my security question and I forgot it! It send a veify email the answer the an email to <edited by host> and the email <edited by host> that is my other apple ID and the password work on apple but my yahoo account I forgot my password and security question and it won't verify to my email on to my apple email. so it send the answer to <edited by host> and I can't get it! So Can u do something? Both account r also on my iCloud. I can open both apple account but it won't let me buy nothing on my <edited by host> ! On my <edited by host> that one dose let my buy thing but I had lot of thing I bought on <edited by host> I bought lots of movies music and app. I spend lot of money on this account.

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresess - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
This is a user-to-user forum and no-one on here can take any direct action. If your Yahoo address is not working that's something you would need to take up with Yahoo - have you checked it by sending yourself an email to it?
Otherwise you will need to contact Support: go to https://expresslane.apple.com/ and click on 'iTunes' in the center column and then 'iTunes Store' in the right-hand column and proceed from there.

Ipad prompts for the itunes password again and again

my ipad prompts me for a itunes password again and again , inspite of entering the password. what could be a reason?Ipa

Can you access your email account through the web interface from a computer using the new password? If so, you may not be typing in the password correctly in your iPad email client. If not, then you've forgotten your new password. Try resetting the password again from the hotmail web interface.
Oops, just noticed it works on your iPhone.
