Why do I have to keep providing my iCloud password over and over

Every time, I go into a new app, like leaving mail to follow and imbedded link URL, I get prompted again for my iCloud password. It doesn't matter whether or not I provide the password, it just keeps on trucking. But the nuisance is still there!

Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll (or Save Image if you have iOS 8), then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account), choose Delete from My iDevice and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in (your data will download back to your device).  That should stop the ongoing prompts for your password.

  • Why do I have to keep entering my icloud password when I use air drop?

    Every time I turn on air drop it makes me put my icloud password in. My wife doesn't have to do that. I'm pretty sure it's just a setting, but I can't figure it out. Air drop is supposed to save time, but having to type in a password every time takes more time...

  • When I choose SHARE for a photo on my iphone that i just updated to ios 7, why do I have to keep opening the icloud control on my pc, uncheck and then recheck photos for them to then appear in icloud photos on my pc?

    Before ios 7, photos that I took on my iphone 5 would go from camera roll to photo stream on my phone and then show up in my Photo Stream folder on my pc within a few seconds. Now they no longer auto sync to my Photo Stream folder on my pc. I know about the new iCloud Photos folder in my pc but the photos do not show up until I manually open the iCloud panel, uncheck the photos button, hit apply, then recheck the photos button and hit apply again. Why do I have to do all of this when it used to be automatic? Is the old Photo Stream folder on my pc dead now? Anyone else having this problem?

    I HAVE RESOLVED THIS!!  The problem was that I was signed in to iCloud on my iphone with an old Apple ID and using a different Apple ID on my pc. I signed out of iCloud on my phone, then re-signed in with the same id as the iCloud on my pc. Presto chango. All is well.

  • Why do I have to keep choosing the toolbars to show and not show on FF startup???

    when I start FF I have to keep right clicking and choosing (or unchoosing) toolbars to show for the session. How do I make the startup configuration permanent?

    That can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.
    See:

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Some have virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Why do I have to keep entering my itunes password on my ipad?

    Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to have my iTunes password stored so I don't have to keep entering it after I enter my passcode to begin doing anything?  To clarify, I have a passcode set up to begin after 15 minutes of inactivity.  Once that happens, when I reopen my iPad,  I am requested to enter my iTunes password as well.  This wasn't an issue before the last upgrade.  I have tried to find the answer on my own but I'm not having any luck.  
    Thanks for any suggestions on how to eliminate this minor hassle or let me know if I have to live with it.

  • Why do i need to keep entering my icloud password

    I moved from Mobile Me to iCloud and my wife is frustrated that she keeps getting messages to enter her iCloud password on her iphone. Any ideas how to change the settings so she stays logged in?

  • Why do I have to keep resetting Mozilla to stop slowness and popups?

    I have rest Mozilla several times lately, and things like unsolicited adobe flash update requests and betting sites keep popping up, plus the browser gets incredibly slow. Any ideas?

    Did you download Firefox from the official Mozilla site? Sometimes if you search on Google or any search provider, they sometimes have "Advertised links" which are sometimes Firefox bundles that have been slightly modified/shipped with malicious software.
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    If you did download from a different website and believe that to be the cause, you can report the link here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/fraud-report/
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer that you may not be aware of. First check your home page settings to make sure nothing was appended (if there is a | followed by another link, that tells Firefox to open another tab with that link):
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    Also check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
    Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. Usually malware comes bundled with other applications, so if you sort by date and see several applications installed at the same day, it may be easier to find suspicious applications that way.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software. A third party software could be modifying your Firefox preferences without your knowledge so hopefully scanning using one or two of these can eliminate any of the malicious files:

  • Why do i have to keep typing in the password to my wifi network every time i get home

    on my phone i have to connect to the wifi network everytime i get home

    Try resetting your router, unplug it wait for 1 - 2 minutes and plug it back in.  Wait a few minutes for it to connect to your provider and download the latest IP addresses etc.
    Go into your phone's wifi settings and forget your wifi network.  Reconnect to it so that you get the latest IP addresses in your phone.  Go into the settings on your phone for your network (Tap the blue arrow to open it up) Set the proxy setting to Automatic not off or manual. 
    Apple has done something wonky to wifi in iOS 6.0 and 6.0.1.  Hopefully they will have it fixed in 6.1 when it comes out soon.
    I had a similar problem and this process worked for me.  Now when I walk into my house my iPhone and iPad both connect to my home wifi network with no problems.
    Hope it works for you.

  • Why do I have to keep logging into icloud on my mac to check my mail?  Why won't icloud save my info?, Why do I have to keep logging into icloud on my mac to check my mail?  Why won't icloud save my info?

    Everytime I open the icloud page I have to relog in with my username and password.  Even if I click "keep me signed it."  It is a royal pain. 
    On a similar note...how do I get my icloud mail account to open in imail like allof my other email accounts????   Thanks

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - assuming this to be correct, you need to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email as detailed here:

  • Why do I have to keep signing into icloud

    At least twice a week (normally when I am on the train home), I am prompted to enter my icloud password. This then temporarily removes my address book, my  calendar etc. It also resets my icloud backup details and various other settings. Please tell me what do I need to do to stop this.
    Many thanks. Paul

    I am not sure, if it will fix the issue, but I would try to delete your account from your device and then add it back again. If this does not help, I would recommend to make a backup and store all your important data and then reset your device.

  • Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally

    Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.

    Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
    General Requirements
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Supported
    Models
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself.

  • Why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac

    why do I have to keep installing adobe flash on my mac?

    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications (including Safari) first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.
    After installing, reboot your Mac and relaunch Safari, then in Safari Preferences/Security enable ‘Allow Plugins’. If you are running 10.6.8 or later:
    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.
    If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then in System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser, but check this also:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5655?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US  which also covers ‘blocked plug-in’.
