Repeated request for icloud password on booting

Recently, and every time I boot, I get repeated requests for my icoud password.
I have started cancelling the request and can't see any difference.
Wonder how I can stop this.
I shut down overnight.

Try running Keychain First Aid and resetting the original keychain.

  • New iPad repeated requests for iCloud ID

    Since setting up my new iPad (3rd generation) I have been plagued with repeated requests for my iCloud ID/Apple ID. It happens at least once a day, often when I open the device in the morning, but also happens during the day when waking the iPad from sleep. I never had this problem with my old iPad 2.  Any help appreciated.

    Librariand seems to be required by iCloud in combination with Evernote. Do you have Evernote installed?
    See this thread Re: Is "librariand" part of Lion ? if yes, what is it for ?https://discussions.apple.com/message/15932747#15932747

  • Multiple requests for keychain password after booting up

    Every time I boot up I get several requests for my keychain password.
    I think the requests come from each of the applications that I have selected for auto-launch in the Accounts control panel.
    Is this because these apps are launching before the system unlocks the keychain?
    I never get keychain password requests at any other time. It seems like there is a sequence or timing issue.

    Also, Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item.

    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • Repeatedly Prompted for iCloud Password

    I have an iPad mini with iOS 7.1.2 installed. It was new out of the box two weeks ago (warranty replacement for one that had a different problem). I didn't restore from any previous backup, but I did connect to my iCloud and iTunes accounts before re-downloading the apps I wanted and syncing with my iTunes library to add photos and other miscellany.
    For the last several days I have been prompted two or three times a day to enter my iCloud password when I unlock the device. There is no discernible pattern, but so far I have not been prompted for it while using the device - only immediately upon unlocking. I have tried the following, based on suggestions in other forums: (1) delete and re-connect iCloud account; (2) delete iCloud account, power device off and on, re-connect iCloud account; (3) delete iCloud account; restore network settings; power device off and on; re-connect iCloud account. The problem persists. Today, for the first time, I received a notification while the device was locked alerting me that I needed to verify my iCloud password for iCloud backup.
    The device otherwise operates normally, with one, one-time exception that I mention only in case it presents a pattern that I'm not experienced enough to see: yesterday, with cellular data off, I was connected to my home wifi and browsing with no problem. Without warning, the wifi connection dropped, or appeared to drop. I went into settings and verified that wifi was enabled, and that my home wifi network was selected. It was, and the settings panel showed a connection (but there was no wifi symbol in the status bar, and no actual connection). The wifi was working properly; both my phone and my laptop, within five feet of each other and the iPad, were experiencing no connectivity issues. Switching to airplane mode and back did not solve the problem, but powering off and on did, and it has not recurred.
    I would appreciate any assistance. I have not yet made a Genius Bar appointment, as there is no guarantee that I could replicate the problem in-store (though I do have screencaps of some but not all of the prompts). Thanks very much.

  • Repeated Request for Account Password

    After months of no problems, I am suddenly asked to enter my account password because the POP server has rejected the password in my keychain. Some days I just enter in (the same) password and it logs in just fine.
    Other days I am prompted repeatedly for the password until I just cancel. When this happens I restart Mail which sometimes works, or I then have to reboot the computer which sometimes fixes the problem on other occassions.
    Or it just mysteriously fixes itself by chance.
    Why does this continue to happen? I have not changed my passwords or settings since I began using the software.
    Thanks.

    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, choose Keychain First Aid from the application menu, and proceed to repair the keychain. If that doesn’t work, you may try removing the password entry from the keychain and letting Mail create it again the next time it asks for it.
    Note, however, that Mail often doesn’t correctly report what the problem really is. If Mail can connect to the server but cannot log into your mail account for some reason, it’ll ask for your password regardless of whether that’s really the problem or not. Don’t keep entering the password every time, because that’s not the problem (click Cancel instead, and take the account back online afterwards).
    Some ISPs refuse connection attempts if they are too frequent, for example, or limit the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed from the same IP address, or there may be too many messages on the server and Mail times out before the server responds, or there might be a problem with the network, or there might be a problem with the server...
    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Try also turning OFF all the network port configurations except the one needed to connect to Internet and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    What’s the time interval chosen in Mail > Preferences > General > Check for New Mail? If it’s set to Every minute, try changing it to Every 5 minutes.
    Try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.

  • Repeated requests for hotmail password

    My son's new macbook is set up to get hotmail (paid account, POP settings), and it works just fine EXCEPT that mail.app asks for his password every few minutes or so. Does anyone know why, or how to make it stop?

    try these two things:
    1) in mail>preferences>general find out what option you have selected for checking mail, if every one minute, you may want to change to 5 minutes or longer, as the one minute change has been known to cause problems with asking/authenticating passwords.
    2) go to your Keychain Access and find out if you have more than one password created for that email account, if so, delete so that you have only one, hopefully the right one
    hope this helps

  • Repeated requests for email password

    Every now and then (months apart) msn asks me to fill in my email password on my MBP (Lion) every 2 seconds or so for hours at a time - then it usually stops at some point on it's own - and starts doing it again arbitrarily. Has anyone heard of this madness?  I have a 13" laptop from 2009.

  • Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

    Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop? It pops up every single day.

    Erica,
         I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
         I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it.  His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
         It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
         Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987. 
         I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
       For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
         Best.
         BPW

  • My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
    Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
    I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks.

    Hopefully this will me get you back up.

  • Ipad asks for icloud password

    Ipad mini on Power on asks for iCloud password

    To clarify this issue:
    I do have a different (few years old) Apple ID and created new iCloud ID when I purchased this iPad mini. My passwords for Apple ID and iCloud are different. Ipad asks for Apple ID whenever I want to purches any new App or music what seams to be correct.
    iCloud Photo Stream works fine on PC as well as on iPad.
    After Power on my iPad mini I have a popup asking for iCloud password. Regardles if I  enter my pass or just click "Cancel" it goes away and everything including iCloud and iCloud email works fine. When there is no WiFi available It cannot verify entered password anyway and is keep asking until I click Cancel.
    Process of pressing and holding Home button and Power button didn't change asking for password.
    I went to Settings->iCloud->Delete Account and deleted it opting for remove and merge and leter I Signed to iCloud again. No change..
    I chatted with Apple and they suggested to reset WiFi somewhere in Settings->General----..
    This solved the problem for few hours. What I mean when I tried Power off and then Power on again while chatting with Apple the iPad didn't ask for password. After an hour or so it asked again and now is keep asking for iCloud password on power on again although not every time. It has nothing to do with WiFi because it did the same while I was connected to a few different WiFis or not connected at all. Since entering the iCloud password or Cancel does not make any difference until I power it off it means there is a bug somewhere in the Apple's software.
    I do not have many Apps installed and in a mean time I removed King Photo because it was failing sometimes.
    I'll chat with Apple again as soon as I have at least one hour free time during work hours.

  • HT1414 itunes is requesting for a password to restore backup but it is not accepting any of my iphone passwords. what password does it require? If i cannot remember this then how do i continue backup without the password request?

    I am using iphone 4 and just updated the software on my mac but wanted to restore my calender/contacts/messages after backup. itunes is requesting for a password to restore backup but it is not accepting any of my iphone passwords. what password does it require? If i cannot remember this then how do i continue backup without the password request?

    If you have a corporate Exchange account set up on the phone, the administrators can require encrypted backups. Try using your Exchange password.

  • Itunes popup on mac requesting for my password, how to turn it off?

    When I click the play button on my mac to listen to music it doesn't turn on because itunes keeps requesting for my password for automatic downloads. How do I stop this? It just started after I got my iphone.

    @ Ivmedic...    Disabling automatic downloads does not resolve this issue.  I am having the same issue. I open iTunes and get prompted for my log in info for automatic downloads, if you log in the issue returns the next time you open iTunes same as if you hit cancel. Also you actually have to go through this 2 times when opening iTunes before it stops...  Certainly a bug in the 10.5.1 (42) build.  
    Does anyone know a way of disabling it in the terminal ?

  • Repeatedly asking for apple password when adding security questions

    when trying to download apps on ipod touch it asks me to choose 3 security questions (which i did 2 days ago when i first set it up )but when continuing to try and answer questions its repeatedly asks for apple password which i am entering correctly and doesnt seem to get any further and therefore i cant download apps.
    Can anyone help?

    I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
    Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.

  • Repeated requests for user name and password

    I am suddenly getting repeating requests to provide my user name and password but the requesting screen already has this information filled in. Each time I press OK the request returns. Is this a server problem?

    A quick look through this board will reveal that this has been an intermittent problem with BT Yahoo! for ages and is one of the reasons are moving to a new BT Mail (which itself has stalled because of problems). Meanwhile, logging in direct to webmail then out again has been known to overcome the password issue.
