Iphone keeps asking for wrong apple id password

So my phone kept asking for my apple id a few weeks ago, spamming and spamming it, on my 4gs, and i couldnt figure out the password so i couldnt log in. then just today i got the iphone 5, and created a new apple id, not using my old one for anything... yet it keeps asking me for it when im trying to update/download apps. ive tried to log out and log in again.. doesnt work. i dont know whats wrong?

My son had a similar problem when he got a new macbook. It would not let him update software on his brand new macbook.
Calling Apple support did not get it resolved.
Emailing iTunes (because they don't talk to you directly) didn't help. (somehow it was related to iTunes)
Making a Genius appt at the Apple store helped on the second try.
It should be they just delete the original id but I guess that is not done lightly due to thefts.
If I were you I would still call, email, and then get to the Apple store if you have to.
They had told us it was a rare situation and a complicated fix.  That was last year and maybe it's easier now.  Good luck.

  • Why does iPhone keep asking for my Apple ID?

    Whenever I go to Messages and open a text message, a window pops up asking for my Apple ID password.  This has never happened before - just started today.  I can cancel out of it but it's still very annoying.
    Thanks.

    No, I didn't get an answer.  Strangely, the phone just fixed itself as soon as I asked the question!  Amazing!

  • Why does the iTunes Store (iTunes 11.2) keep asking for my Apple ID password on launch?

    iTunes 11.2, Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
    The iTunes Store keeps asking for Apple ID password on launch, and with every download, even when I am already logged in to the iTunes Store with my Apple ID. I am using iCloud, my iCloud account is set up on my iMac and I am using iCloud Keychain. My Apple ID password is stored in my Keychain. So why can't the iTunes Store remember me?

    Back up all data.
    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. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    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
    If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
    Select
    Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • IPhone keeps asking for an Apple ID that's years old

    Hopefully someone can help. I've been using my Apple ID for two plus years and I just got the 5s. I did an iCloud backup with my old iphone 4 which used my normal Apple ID. On the new phone after I set it up from the cloud backup and it shows my normal Apple ID everywhere on the phone, it keeps asking me to sign into an old Apple ID I used years ago. How do I get rid of that?

    Do you have content (iTunes music, videos or apps) on the phone that were purchased or downloaded with the old Apple ID? All iTunes content is associated with the Apple ID it was purchased with. So updating or reinstalling that content requires the password for the original Apple ID.

  • My IPHONE keeps asking for another APPLE ID

    I am a MOBILE ME user for about 5 years. I just bought an IPHONE 3GS. I create an ICLOUD account with a certain APPLE ID on the IPHONE. When I try to download any APP from the Appstore, another apple id it is being ask. I restore 3 time to the original factory settings, but the problem pesists. Any ideas

    Was this a new or secondhand purchase? Whose Apple ID is it?
    Go to Settings/Store and tap the user ID that appears there if it is not yours. Tap sign out. Tap sign in and enter your own Apple ID.

  • Problems with upgrading my iphone to v6 - I am not happy!  It deleted all of my apps, so I had to reload them.  Now many of the apps do not work - they keep asking for my apple ID and PW but then never open.

    I kept getting reminders to update my iphone to v6, so I did so and I am not happy!  It deleted all of my apps, so then I had to reload them.  Now many of the apps do not work - when I try to open them they keep asking for my apple ID and PW and when I enter this it just goes away and never opens.  Anyone else had this issue?

    Happened to me once awhile back. The exact same thing. What I did to get everything working again was open up itunes on PC and click on "Apps" section (not the one in your iphone section, but the one in the "Libraries" section near the top). Then proceed to totally delete all of the apps that aren't working (if it asks if you want to send to recycle bin click yes). Re-sync phone, which will remove them from the phone. And, finally, re-install them. It was a pain, but the only thing that worked. Hope it works for you. Good luck!

  • How do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

    how do you stop my iphone keep asking for my works proxy server name and password

    Having been in IT for close to 30 years what they actually thought was, "whether you can connect your phone to our network isn't out problem, please go away".
    They don't want to troubleshoot it. And, honestly, if it's your personal phone, they shouldn't have to. it's not their problem unless their boss says it is.

    Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
    Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

    When playing songs on my Iphone, I'm asked for my Apple ID/password.  My current ID password will not allow these songs to play.  The songs that it does this to are older songs that were purchased under a different password.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
