Why am i being asked to enter icloud password on ipad a lot?
i changed my icloud password recently and now am regularly being asked to enter my password when on my ipad. Did i miss a setting?
Hi JOfromON,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you have recently changed your Apple ID password, and since then have been getting repeatedly prompted to enter in your password on the iPad. I'd like you to first sign out of iCloud, and then sign back in with your new information.
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).

Why am I constantly being asked to enter my password?
All of a sudden I am being asked to enter my password every few hours. Various applications are asking for it ... Safar, iCloud something or other, calendar agent ... it's getting really annoying and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to STOP IT.
It began after I setup my new iMac and transferred all my info from my "old" iMac. the old one is still being used and IT'S doing it now as well.
help!Hi DarleenMB,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You might try using Keychain First Aid to detect and repair any issues with your keychain that may be causing this (this article applies to most versions of the OS including Mavericks):
Mac OS X 10.6: Solving problems with keychains

If the issue persists I would try resetting your Keychain using Keychain Access as described here:

Constantly being asked to enter my password on Yahoo
Hey there,
My hard drive recently hit the three year mark and died on me so I replaced it and reinstalled OS X and all my software. Before this happened, I could click the "keep me signed in" checkbox on Yahoo and I would stay signed in most of the time. (I'm using Safari, by the way.)
Now for some reason clicking that box is completely ineffective. I'm sure it's just some Safari setting that was reset but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. I've tried going through all my Preferences trying to figure it out and nothing seems to work.
It's frustrating, because I don't even close my browser. I'll be in my e-mail, then I'll decide to go to facebook (which stays logged in,) then I'll come back to yahoo, and it's already asking me for my password again. I didn't even close the browser! Although I miss my old settings where even if I did close my browser I could still open it up again and I would still be logged in. I'm not worried about security because I'm the only person who uses this computer and it's a pain in the butt to log in over and over and over and over.
Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks.Hi and welcome....
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure user names and passwords is selected.
Now quit Safari (Comman + Q) Open the Keychain Access app (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the Yahoo keychain.
Relaunch Safari. Login to Yahoo as usual with your user name and password. You will be prompted to save that data, click Yes.
If you still have problems logging into Yahoo, quit Safari then delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain (Keychain Access again).
Relaunch Safari and login to Yahoo.
And go to Safari / Preferences - Security. Click: Show Cookies. Remove all Yahoo related cookies.

Why am I being asked to enter my apple ID every time I unlock my iPAD?
For some reason in just the last few days, each time I unlock my iPAD it is asking me to enter my Apple ID. I didn't change anytiing in my settings. I did go to settings to find something that may be causing this and cannot locate anything. This is not a major issue, other than it is simply annoying. Not sure if anyone else has run into this and has any suggesitons on how to correct it. FYI, I am using an iPAD2 on the latest SW. Thanks!
Correct, the passcode lock is not activated. So I can hit cancel when it asks me for it and continue. It isn't stopping me from doing anything but like I said, it is just one of those annoyances I would like to make go away.
I am wondering if it has something to do with a game I downloaded from the Apple Sotre called Virtual Pool. Because somethimes when I go to add a new app, I get some error messga saying the store cannot download Virtual Pool right now when I never asked it to and I already have the game loaded and working properly on my iPAD. Would that be a possible cause perhaps? The iPAD thinks I still need ot download the game when I don;t so it keeps asking me for my Apple ID? -
ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.
You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in. -
I'm being asked to enter my ID pswd on my ipad 2 for icloud. but the email address and ID are no longer being used, and reset emails are not being received. How can I deactivate this? I have another ID which works fine, but this issue with the old ID is not allowing me to use my ipad. thanks.
If your iPad is signed into an old ID and you are trying to change it, if the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password, every 5 minutes or so.
Hey everyone.
I have an iPhone 6 and I am getting that error where im constantly being asked to enter my iCloud password every 5 to 10 minutes, regardless of what im doing.
I've just updated to the latest 8.2 hoping it would fix the issue but it hasn't
Apart from it being quite annoying, as of yesterday, I can no longer connect to my family group, or backup my phone to iCloud.
It has gone from a mere nuisance to not being able to use some key features of my phone.
I've tried restarting, and even changed my iCloud password to no avail.
Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thank you in advance.No it won't completely wipe your phone. You can verify that your iCloud information is up to date by going to iCloud.com and checking Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, etc. These are updated by being pushed between iCloud and the devices signed onto the same iCloud account. The backup is there in case you have to restore you device for some reason.
But simply signing out of and then back in again to iCloud will not erase anything - you would only have to do a restore if your device failed in some way or went into Recovery mode. Just make sure your photos in the Photo Stream that are over 30 days old are also in your Camera Roll, or have been imported to a computer (or if you are using iCloud Photo Beta, make sure they are there).
You can also do a manual backup to iTunes on the computer you sync with if you wish.
Other than that, everything you see in iCloud.com will be pushed back to your device when you sign on again.
Cheers,

My daughter is 7 and I don't allow her to download anything on her iPod touch. I have to put in my password for anything to be downloaded. Recently when putting in my password, I am being ask to enter in an additional email address for verification purposes. I need to know why this is. I have 1 email address that I use and don't see a reason to create a additional email address.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal?
Thanks

Hi, If I do not have to pay for free installation, why am I being asked for billing details?
AaroniCloud backs up your iOS device (not your Mac) automatically. You can remove the backup:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm122d3ef202
and it will not back up again. This will not affect a backup made using iTunes. The notice you see refers to calendars, contacts, iWork documents and so on, which live on the server and are read from there by your Mac, and so will obviously disappear if you turn iCloud off altogether (which you don't need to do) or turn off Documents (which you don't need to do either). -
HT5622 Why I'm I being asked to change my password
Why do I keep being asked to change my password?
Hi Again cor-el,
I now understand the reason behind the green lock icon, it is for a extra level of security with sensitive sites, which this particular site is.<br />
Having said that, if I follow the instructions, and "temporarily remove autocomplete=off", when I load the site in the future, is the situation going to be: when I load the site it will automatically have already loaded my user and password, so I don't have to do that function? If so, I really don't want that to happen. <br />
With my old computer, when I clicked the bookmark for the site, and entered the site, I just had to click on my user name and firefox entered my user and password. Evidently, firefox remembered those parameters for that site, and all was well. Definitely made that procedure easier. <br />
By doing the procedure in autocomplete=off, will this happen? Or, will the situation be, when I click on the bookmark and load the site, both my user and password will be automatically entered? If that were to occur, I would be giving up too much security for that site. <br />
I just would like my new computer and firefox, to enter that web site (scottrade) like it did before, where all I had to do was click on my user and enter the first character of my user and firefox filled in the of my user and password. Thank you, cor-el. -

Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??
Why am I being asked for my credit card details to upgrade a Free app??
Howdy GaryFC,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
If you have a payment source associated with your Apple ID, it needs to be a vaild form of payment. To troubleshoot issues with your payment type being declined, please follow the steps below.
In most cases, this issue is caused by a formatting error in the billing address that you have provided. You can correct the issue by verifying that the information you have provided is correct, or by changing the format of your address to match the format that your credit card company has on file.
You can verify and/or modify your billing address by following these instructions:
Open iTunes. If you are signed in to iTunes, skip to step 4.
Note: Verify that you are signed in to the correct iTunes account. If you are unsure which account you're signed into, choose Store > Sign Out and proceed to step 2.
Choose Store > Sign In.
Enter your account name and password, then click the Sign In button.
Choose Store > View My Account.
Click the Edit Payment Information button.
In the Payment Method section, choose None.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
Click the Edit Payment Information button again.
Enter your billing address exactly as it appears on your credit card statement.
Select your credit card type in the Payment Method section.
Enter your credit card information, your card's security code, and the expiration date.
Click the Done button at the bottom of the page.
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.

Why am I being asked to authenticate by entering my password when for example dragging a picture from an email to my desktop? This started with Lion. Is there a way to turn it off? Thanks,
I found that right clicking on my hard drive, Get Info and under Sharing & Permissions when the Privilege was changed to Read & Write, the authentication pop ups stopped and I could drag pictures to my desktop and save attachments there also. Now my hubby and I will investigate the Names under S&P. We know one is System, another is him sharing. There is a third that says everyone so it will be the main one we research. I get the basics of what they are - to secure folders etc. from someone getting into my computer. I'm sure this is a pretty basic description of the issue so I guess if you read this and try any of this to stop the authentication, you should make sure you know what and why.
Thanks for your help softwater. -

I click on forgot the answers , they send me check your email , I check my email and they send me the password that I have already entered not the answers of the questions !

I have icloud on my phone with an apple id that I no longer use. I keep getting asked to enter the password for this ID. However I can't remember the password.
When I try to re-set the password, a e-mail will be send to an address I no longer use and can't access.
I then try to answer the security questions, but the date of births I enter are not accepted
Any ideas?
PaulWelcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
