ITunes Password Input keeps popping up

I keep seeing a pop-up asking me for my iTunes password.
Anybody else have this problem or know why this would happen?

Thanks @Phillpkd for your post, but this is not the fix for everyone.
When I first got my iPad I never had this problem, until I contacted Apple support about my iTunes account. I told Apple that my iTunes on my new system did not down load all my purchased music from the iTunes store. Apples reply was that I needed to backup my file from my old system and import it to the new system.
I told them that could not be done the old system is no longer around. Besides I thought that all my purchased music would download to the new system once I authorized it. Apple saide "No, it will not" what Apple did was they reset my downloads so that they would download again. However they did tell me that I may not get all my downloads "purchased" music, anything they no longer carie that I purchased will not download.
So Apple reset my account and everything downloade. After the reset is when the problem started. I know that not everyone has had iTunes reset like I did. I think it is a problem with the iTunes verification and authorization for the iPad.
The iPad is performing random checks on the iTunes store for updates to apps and it is being challenged every time. This is my theory for all of us that are not seeing the same thing that Phillpkd is.

Password box keeps popping up..but can not close it?

Hi all,
So I'm using my brand new iPhone, and at various times, a password input box pops up. The problem is, when I enter what I think the password would be (didn't set one??)..it will not allow me to enter the password. The ok button is greyed out, and stays greyed out. So basically a password box just hangs there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Well I get a voicemail password popup when I'm just trying to look at contacts. But I also get the iTunes password window come up when I tried to buy a song. It worked ok originally, but now when I enter my password, the window just sits there and the "Ok" button is grayed out. Very frustrating..not sure what's happening.
Thanks

Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

"iTunes Password" box keeps opening up at random on iPhone.

*For the past five days* my friend who is running *iPhone OS 3.0* on his *iPhone 3G* has had the 'iTunes Password' request box *popping up frequently and always at random*. *He has not prompted the box by opening up the App Store or iTunes*. He has tried turning on and off to no avail. It is not a jailbroken phone. Any help here will be gratefully received, the box popping up all the time is getting a bit tiresome.

Well here's another user with the same problems. There is no fix to this bug. This is all caused by file sharing issues which I've heard on good authority Apple are desperately trying to sort out. Sad however they haven't posted this out to the general public which would negate the needless hours spent by faithful users of the product in wasted time. Come on Apple - you can do better than this afterall this is your main source of income now.

Itunes login window keeps popping up for no apparent reason

For about 2 weeks now the itunes login window asking for my itunes password keeps popping up for no apparent reason at annoyingly frequent intervals on my touch 3.1.2. This seems to occur regardless of what i am doing on the ipod or which app I am using at the time. If i enter my password and press ok the message still pops up again later. Anybody have a solution?

ITunes (10.5) Keeps Popping Up, Help

This is extremely annoying. Ever since I enabled wifi sync on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 itunes keeps randomly popping up out of nowhere. It always shows just my iphone device (not my ipad) on it and it's not even syncing. I even did a wireless sync to see if it will stop and itunes still keeps popping up for no reason. I am running Win7. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?
Thanks
Jay

Same here, same circumstances. Occurring since Wi-Fi sync was enabled on an iPhone and iPad, won't stop despite Wi-Fi being disabled for both now.

HT1918 Cant purchase a song due to password box keep popping up..

When prompted to put my password in to buy a song it will not take my password. It does not come up stating it was put in incorrectly and to reset . It just keeps popping the window up to keep putting password in and will not allow me to purchase the song... Is anyone having this issue and what do i need to do to purchase music.. How do I get to my credit card information also. I even thought maybe my card had expired and needed to update information...

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

ITunes Password Window Keeps Appearing...Why?

For the past week I have constantly been bombarded with the iTunes Password window. Sometimes it happens when I first turn on my phone...sometimes it happens when I change to a different App... and it frequently is on the screen when I go to press End Call at the end of a conversation. The iTunes Password window is on the screen instead of the call that I am on. I have rebooted the phone a few times, and I have synced my phone recently after the problem appeared. I have not yet done the 3.1.3 software update. How can I keep this from happening. Thanks for the help.

Try this:
When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer, the account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device for use in the iTunes Store from the device as well. This same account is used for the App Store as well. This account will be used on the device for both stores until you sign in from your computer to the iTunes Store with a different account, and then resync your mobile device with the computer.
When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch, the iTunes application on the computer will share its current iTunes Store account ID with the device you are syncing. This account ID will be used to make purchases from the iTunes Store and App Store on the mobile device.
It is not possible to change the account in use on the device itself or to sync multiple accounts to your mobile device. To change the account you are using on your mobile device, go to your computer and sign in to the iTunes Store with the account you want to use on your mobile device, then sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer again. This will transfer the new account information to the mobile device. To sign in or out of an account in iTunes choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
So, try syncing your phone using the account you used in itunes & see if this fixes the issue.

Password box keeps popping up-New IPAD

Just got my new IPAD. Restored via Cloud backup. I keep getting a password box while I use the IPAD with some weird login name in the top part of it. I have to hit cancel. I have no idea how this was caused or how to fix it. Appreciate any help. This is driving me crazy. When I go to Itunes store I see a list of songs it shows purchased but that is not me. It seems to be somebody elses login. My IPAD was registered to me in all my settings so I could download my programs and such.

Voicemail Password Incorrect keeps popping up!

Does anyone know how to set up a new voicemail password? a message saying incorrect password keeps popping up and it just won't cancel or accept a new one. I'm lost need help.

You can reset your voicemail password by calling AT&T (1-800-331-0500). The automated system will ask you for your mobile number. You can enter it and then press "3" for "help with voicemail" and then "3" again to have the password reset. The system will ask for your billing zip code for verification.
You should get an SMS message showing you how to choose a new voicemail password.

TS4002 Password request keeps popping up

My iCloud window asking for my password keeps popping up, it has for several days. I type in the password and then reappears again. I says that my mail account is offline.

Which password are you referring to?

Itunes web page keeps popping up without being commanded.

I have a window 7 pc and just downloaded 10.5 ITunes. Now the itunes web page automatically pops up uncommanded. I close it and come back to my computer at a later time and the itunes page is back up again. I also use firefox.

Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated, 
'''''DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS'''''. 
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be '''''Malware or a Virus'''''.
Any time you want or need to check for upgrades,
go to the web site of the '''''True Owner''''' of the program in question.
For example, to check out Firefox, go to '''''[https://www.mozilla.org Mozilla.org]'''''. 
It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders /
installers will trick you into installing not only their program,
'''''but other programs as well'''''.
You have heard of the '''''fine print in shady contracts''''', right?
Well, some installers you need to look at the '''''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''''.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using
the '''''recommended''''' option. But if you use the '''''Manual Option Instead''''',
you discover all kinds of stuff that '''''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''''.
From now on, everyone needs to '''''Use The Manual Option''''' to put a stop to this.

Password request keeps popping up in itunes

I know this question has been asked before, but how do you stop the password request for your Apple ID from popping up continuously in iTunes, even after you entered it?

Chances are that you have slightly different 'Artist' labels for those songs.
This could be as simple as 'The Rolling Stones' vs. 'Rolling Stones' or more difficult to spot due to leading or trailing blanks, such as:
' Rolling Stones' or 'Rolling Stones '.
You'll have to figure out your own specific situation.
