Why do I have to enter my Apple ID after an iOS update on iPad?

Every time I update iOS on my iPad, it asks me to enter my Apple ID to configure iCloud despite the fact that iCloud is already configured.
Why is that? It's a hassle, annoying, and doesn't happen on my iPhone.

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.

  • HT201485 why do I have to enter my Apple ID and Password several times each time I launch iTunes

    Why do I have to enter my Apple ID and password several times to enable automatic downloads each time I launch iTunes? I get no password errors.
    I've also notice that some secure websites, e.g., banks, tell me each time I log on to them  that they don't recognize my computer. I don't know if that's related.
    I use two different wifi networks each day, one work, one home
    I am using OS X 10.10.1 on a macbook pro retina, mid 2012
    2.6 ghz core i7 8GB,
    iTunes 12.0.1.26

    That seems strange. Try an iPad reset and see if this fixes the problem,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Why do i have to enter my apple id for every purchase

    Why do I have to enter my apple id for every purchase in the app store. I thought the new ios would remember it every time.

    It only "remembers" such for 15 minutes after the first purchase. This is done for security reasons. It is app updates that no longer require a password.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • 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 do I have to enter my apple ID password at the end of watching TV shows?, why do I have to enter my apple ID password at the end of watching TV shows???

    I don't mind repetedely entering my password while downloading shows. But after downloading shows and then watching I am prompted to enter the account password once again about a minute before they end. This is annoying and unnecessary. Very Microsoft-like annoyning. Someone at Apple needs to fix iTunes.
    Not to mention the inability to sort unwatched shows from older seasons on iTunes 11. I buy a lot of content and it has become painful lately to manage the content. iTunes 11 is a disaster. Please fix.

  • Why do I have to enter my apple ID every time I use my software?my new software is always waiting to be installed

    how can I solve this problem

    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 do I have to enter my Apple ID password every time on the iOS app?

    Every time I open the iTunesU app on my iPad I need to authenticate. I'm guessing it is due to being a course creator but is this really necessary?

  • HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

    Hi,
    I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

    An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account.  Which of these do you mean?
    By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it?  If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in.   (Did you recently change your ID's password?  That would cause your problem.)
    For example, for icloud:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again using the right password.

  • Why don't my tones appear on my iphone after the ios update?

    After updating my phone to the iOS 6.0 I can't find the tones I downloaded (to the phone), even though iTunes shows them in the "Tones" page and they even appear on the "On this iPhone" page in iTunes...but they are not in the tones list on the phone.  Where are they?

    i just ran the diagnostic in itunes and it says that itunes doesn't find any usb ports. they're clearly there and working. thought i'd add the info just to see if anyone had a clue as to what was going on.
