My 1st gen iPad keeps asking me to verify my iCloud password

Two months ago I upgraded to the iPad 4 (running IOS 7.1.1), and it is working very well, syncing to iCloud just fine. Since then, though, my 1st generation iPad (running IOS 5.5), almost daily, asks me to verify my iCloud password. I don't think it should be doing this, because nothing about my iCloud account has changed, except for the added iPad. How do I stop or correct this issue?

This is optionally, you can go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > turn iCloud Backup to off.
You can backup your device later or, just type your Apple ID.

HT5622 Why does my iPad keep asking me to verify my password.....over and over and over again?

My iPad keeps asking me to verify my password all night tonight. Then I find out that my mother has been trying to set up a new account in her new iPad and its taken over my account details.....that she doesn't know? I'm so confused. I log on here and I see my mothers name and my email address. We live 300 miles apart and she doesn't know my info...how has this happened ?

Hello there, Nutmegdancer.
A great Knowledge Base article that goes over reasons why you may see repeated prompts is here:

Hope I'm in the right place. First time user. Not tech savvy. Just upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Box keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password. I keep entering my password but box keeps popping back up asking for password?! I selected cancel but what should I do next time it asks for my iCloud password? Is my iCloud working? How do I retrieve my password?
Thanks

In the iCloud pane of System Preferences, uncheck the box marked Mail and check it again.

Ipad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud. The problem is, I can't connect to the internet to do this because it keeps popping up. It's a 'catch 22'.

A pop up on my iPad keeps asking for my iCloud password, however, when I give it, it doesn't matter because I am not connected to the internet. I CAN'T connect to the internet because of the popup. How can I get rid of the pop up so I can connect?

You have bought the book but have you previously downloaded it to your iPad? If you go to your books collection and there is a little cloud icon on the cover of the book with a down arrow that means it's not stored on your device and you would need an internet connection to read/download it. If that's not the problem and Demo's suggestions don't work how about trying this desperate move: Settings > Airplane Mode (turn on) And try again. Do you have other downloaded books in your collection? If so do they act the same way or do they open ok? If they open then there is something corrupt about that particular book in which case I would delete it and re download it when you have access to the internet.

My iPad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud

but when I go to sign out of the iCloud in settings it says my password is incorrect. How does that work? When it has allowed me to sign into iCloud on the same device using my actual password.
ANd how do I stop my iPad continually asking me to sign into it anyway? It comes up all the time, checking email, reading on here, using the Internet etc.
All i want to do is sign out of or delete my existing account on here and use another account, without habing to constantly sign into the iCloud

My iPhone keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password, Why?

Almost every time I enter the mail app, and randomly throughout the day, my iPhone keeps popping this box up asking for me to enter my iCloud password. I enter it and it goes away. I know the password I'm entering is correct, but, my question is - why is this happening? I've had every iPhone ever made and just recently bought the 6 Plus and this is the first time ever I've encountered the issue. Any help on getting this annoying popup to stop is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try signing out of the acount comletely and then signing back in again. If it doesn't help and you have more devices, sign out everywhere and try again.

My phone (and iPad) keeps asking me to put in my password and when I do it says its wrong. I've changed it a few times but it still won't work.

Every time I try to download an app or update one or back up my phone or iPad it wants me to log in but when I type my password in it always says its wrong. I've changed it but it still says my password is wrong. Help!

I have same issue, i put password for original account, but still it doesnt let me in.
Please advice asap
Thank you in advance

Why does my iPhone (4S) and iPad (The New iPad) keep asking me for my Apple ID password after I created an iCloud account and merged my old Apple ID with a new one?

I got an iPad2 for Christmas and went to the Apple Store to have them transfer over my contacts from my iPhone4S to the iPad2. They said they had to do it over iCloud and help me set up an iCloud account. But I had an old Apple ID (one without an "@icloud.com" name or other email address attached to it). When they did that it basically screwed up my whole Apple ID account. Now, both my iPhone4S and iPad2 randomly prompt me to enter my Apple ID password for my old Apple ID!, which they said does not exist anymore. So confused...please advise.

The email you should NOT have published, is your iCloud, not Apple ID
You Apple ID is a valid email address
This is a user forum, not Apple customer service.
I gather the security question did not work.
If you have an email address, why not use that?
If this fails you have to contact support and schedule help.

Your password was sent to your emergency email address. Perhaps you have an email you never use? I use the free email from my cable TV account as my emergency email.
Your Apple account and cloud account are separate. You could even have completely different user and password. Most of us use the same user ID and password, but they are not the same thing, don't mix them up.
If you can't retrieve emergency email, you will have to call apple support.

My 83 yo dad has a 1st gen iPad. He has so many photos he would like to view on his HD TV; so I purchased Apple TV for him. But I am having a hard time setting this up. I have been able to get his music on Apple TV, but he really wants the photos. Help

My dad has a 1st gen iPad. He is 83 yo. I recently purchased an Apple TV for him because he loves Netflix and I told him that he could view his photos via the television. BUT, I'm not having success with Photostream. Help me.....I've been researching and trying everything I can and so far, no luck. He keeps asking about the photos, and I'm losing patience with myself and Apple TV. Can anyone help???? Thank you.

1st Gen iPad won't connect to my home router. EVER. Refuses to connect to my wifi.

HELP ME PLEASE WITH THIS 1st GEN IPAD refusing to connect to Wi-Fi ISSUE
It shows up as having full signal, and shows the name of our network. But go to Safari and try to go do anything and it spins and spins then tells me "Cannot Open Page...Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding." Well...it never responded in the first place, so....
Apple says it works fine on their in-house system when we took it in. Told us to call Comcast. More than once, Comcast walked me through 20 mins of reconfiguring the router and the iPad and multiple phone calls and a trip to Comcast later...no go.They say it's Apple's problem now or that I have to buy a special Comcast technical support account for further help --- which doesn't guarantee anything....
This is rather BS to have this unusable thing for so long and now be expected to pay MORE money to get something like this working....and why won't anyone take responsibility? It cannot be that big a deal.
We now have been unable to use our expensive iPad for about 4 months or more. What the heck am I supposed to do? Throw it in the trash take the huge loss as a life lesson to not bother paying Apple prices for stuff that only works for a few months before some glitch or software issue makes it unusable without having to buy a new unit or pay someone to keep trying only to hear '...sorry, call someone else...'*
*Same thing happened with my perfecctly perfect dual G5 tower...motherboard burned out for no reason. Paid 1200 to replace that...then a year later the other main board fries...on a computer that barely ever got used...ended up having to literally give it away on Craigslist and buy a new iMac...which then made all my expensive music software and projects unusable. So I have about three years of special music project files sitting on a harddrive that will never be able to be used.
...I'm beyond frustrated since all we wanted the iPad for in the first place was to be able to check some websites and emails...help me help me.

If the iPad works on other Wi-Fi systems then I'd have to agree that it is your own router causing the problem. To be sure take your iPad to a Starbucks or your library and a few other places than have Wi-Fi and test it out. If it works in those locations you'll need to talk to Comcast some more and be assertive. Something could have failed in your router.
Regarding your hard disk full of music. Put it in an enclosure and connect it to your Mac. Other World Computing sells all sorts of hard drive enclosures that you can install your drive in.
Computers can be frustrating but solutions are sometimes just around the corner.
