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?

    I am suddenly being asked to enter my apple id and password on my iPad, running iOS 6.1.3, has something changed?

    This is normal when downloading app or purchasing music, books etc. what are you doing when you are asked for the Apple ID and password?
    Perhaps you signed out of your Apple ID in Settings. sign back in.

  • 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.

    Do I have to enter my apple ID every time I open Find My Friends? Annoying

    Are you talking the app store on the iPhone?
    If you are, it has to do with control of getting the updates and control of downloading new software.  Sometimes there will be an update when someone won't want an update.  Requiring the password would give someone better control over what gets installed.  Or if there's new software, it will give a parent, for example, better control over what gets purchased or even just downloaded, in the case of a free app.
    I'm not an Apple employee, but I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't consider it a problem.  They tend to err on the side of caution, especially when money is involved.  Requiring the apple id password every time definitely does that.

  • 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 being asked to reset my Apple ID Password every day or 2??

    Every day or 2 I am being told my password is invalid and I am receiving e-mails from Apple saying my password has been reset.  It is getting rather annoying have to enter a new password every 2 days!!  Any help???

    Cause you entering incorrect info for login too many times. Perhaps mixup happens cause you use more then one ID and it gets hard to control which password you use for which id. Suggest come up with ONE password and next time you are prompted to do that on another account, use same password. If I am wrong, and you do not have more then one account - may be someone else is using your account or trying to login with incorrect info that they deem to be correct.

  • I am asked to enter my wireless password every time I try to go online

    Until recently, my computer remembered my WEP password for my wireless connection, but now every time I want to go on the internet I'm asked to enter the password. This problem started when my daughter started using my computer a few days ago. As far as I know she hasn't changed any of the settings on the computer, all she has done is installed Firefox. This is a real nuisance, what can I do to reset my computer so that it remembers my password? I don't want to have to re-enter it multiples times a day when I want to go online. Thanks!

    Type a $ in front of the password. See what happens.

  • Do I really have to enter my apple id EVERY time I update or download an app??

    Is there anyway for the phone to remember my id so I don't have to enter it every single time?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    There are two options, the default is enter your password once every 15 minutes, the other is a restriction that asks for it every time. If you haven't activated the restriction in Settings/Restrictions/Require Password, then yours is good for 15 minutes.

  • 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!
