Iphone keeps asking me for my AppleID password

My iPhone keeps asking me for my AppleID password.
This usually happens after I wake the phone and/or start any app. The problem is intermittent (and too consistant that it has become very annoying!)
This started happening about 1.5 weeks ago.
I called into Apple support and they don't have any idea of how to fix it other than me backing up my phone and performing a brand new restore. I haven't done that yet as it seems to be a brute force approach (and lengthy timewise at that).
From what I can remember, I purchased a song from my iPhone using the iTunes store. Ever since then, it has started asking me for my password for my AppleID. If I enter the password and click OK, everything is fine, but after a few moments, it will ask me for my password again. Also, if I hit Cancel, everything is fine, and again, it will ask me for my AppleID password.
I have the lastest build/version of iOS 5.0.1 installed. The password entered IS correct. I am able to purchase music/movies/tv shows from my AppleTV with the same AppleID and password. I have verified on my iPhone under settings, Itunes that my AppleID is correct as well.
Anybody else getting this and/or have a solution?

Could be a few things...Some things to check:
-Do you have pending downloads in the itunes store? Go to ITunes Store > More > Downloads
-Are you signed into the correct Apple ID in the store? Go to Settings > Store and check the Apple ID. It may be a good idea to just sign out (by tapping on the apple ID and choosing sign out) and sign back in even if you are.
-Other things that use your Apple ID that you might check: App Store, Facetime, iMessage, iCould, Game Center

Iphone keeps asking me for apple user password

ok so I have looked at a few threads on the same topic, but I can't as of yet figure out how to fix it.
Basically I was using an app and I purchased something within the app which needed my apple password (all safe, done it plenty of times), so it started out then as only when I had this app open it would ask for my password. Now it's just popping up randomly asking me for it when I am not even using the app.
I tried doing everything suggested that I could find in other threads, nothing in any download queues, no downloads paused, reset my phone, synced it, made sure everything was up to date. I even tried deleting the app in the first place ...
I know that restoring my phone and starting from scratch will probably do it, but it's such a pain in the *** doing so ... so wondering if anyone has experienced something similar and could suggest anything else to try first?

I've got automatic downloads turned off and I tried signing out and in via the settings and still keeps asking me for an apple id.
It doesn't do it continuously, it'll just pop up randomly ... if the phone is just sitting there it may ask for my apple id and regardless of whether I press cancel or enter my password nothing happens .. it may be another 2mins, 5mins, 15mins but eventually it'll just randomly pop up and ask me again. It does accept my password though because I tried entering an incorrect password to see what happens and it gives me the error saying it's incorrect, so when I enter the correct one in the box disappears and it accepts it as I say, but only for so long before it pops up again.

My iPhone keeps asking me for my voicemail password?

I have an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4 using at&t. Every time I switch wifi networks or make a call or turn off cellular data it asks me for my voicemail password!
I remember making one but when I try the password it does not work.

Is there another solution to have the phone stop asking my password. I do not want my phone to have my voicemail password.
Um, no. If you don't save your password for a feature/function/website/etc., then whenever you go to use that feature/function/website/etc., you'll BhaveB to reenter your password.
If you don't save your password, how is the device supposed to remember it so it stops asking each time?
Why are you so worried about your phone remembering your voicemail password?

IPhone keeps asking me for Apple ID Password

I changed my email adress and my Apple ID, but password window on my phone still shows my old email ID and will not accept my password. How can I get my iPhone to show my new email ID?

settings>icloud>if it shows your old account, log in, then delete ccount at the bottom.
this will delete all data associated with that apple ID such as application data, notes, calendar events and contacts.
if asked, yes to keep a local copy.

Usually, the default voicemail password is your telephone number.
Contact your cell provider.

=I got a replacement iphone 4 and now it keeps asking me for my kids passwords for the apple id. How do I remove their accounts without messing up their passwords?

An iTunes account cannot be transferred to or created on an iOS device by itself.
Did you sync your iPhone with iTunes when iTunes was logged in with your kid's iTunes account - did you transfer any iTunes content to your iPhone including apps that were downloaded with your kid's iTunes account?
If so, this is why you are being prompted for the password for that iTunes account.

Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.

HT201328 i already unlucked my iphone 3GS with at&t but when i restore the iphone keep asking me for the activation plz help

hello m i just unlucked my iphone 3GS with AT&T , but when i restored my iphone it keep asking me for the activation what i can do ?
note : i dont have the at&t sim

You need to put a sim card into the phone to be able to activate it - you can't activate a phone without a sim card.
If the phone has just been unlocked, then you don't need an AT&T sim card. Just put any sim card of your choice into the phone and if it is now unlocked, then it should work.

Thunderbird keeps asking me for my AOL password.

I am running Thunderbird 31.4.0
Yesterday, Thunderbird started asking me for my AOL password every 15 minutes or so. I know that the password is good because I can login into www.aol.com with the user name and password.
I have already tried : Go to TOOLS > OPTIONS >SECURITY > PASSWORDS tab> SAVED PASSWORDS button and there you can delete old passwords. The next time you "Get Mail" Thunderbird will ask for the password and you can check the box to remember the value." and that did not work.
