Why does my iPad continually prompt me to enter my apple Id and password? Every 5 minutes? Where can I change this setting. My password is correct.

My iPad always asks me to enter my I'd and password. It is the correct password but seems to be set to prompt this question every 5 minutes. Where do I change this. I'm going nuts! Am 72 and everything else works great but don't want this interruption. Please help. Thank you.

Try rebooting your iPad:  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo and then let go of both buttons and your iPad will reboot.  You won't lose any settings or data.  See if that stops the problem.
If it doesn't.  Go to Settings > App Store Sign out of your Apple ID, then sign back in.  Make sure all the information is correct.

  • Why does my iPhone 5s cut off exactly at 4 hours when I'm on a call? Can I change this?

    My iPhone 5s always cuts the call off exactly when it hits 4 hours and I'm just wondering how do I change this.

    Talk to your carrier - they may have a limit on a call (maybe they think you didn't hang up properly).

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

    Why does my iPad hang when writing an email?  When I'm done with the email, I can't send it out and have to re-boot the iPad. This happens if the time to compose email exceeds 10 to 15 minutes.

    Shut down all programs that are running in the background.
    1. Double-click the Home button to see Apps in background
    2. Hold the Apps down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close program
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo
    Suggest you perform Step 1 to 3 at the end of every day.

  • I keep getting prompted to enter my Apple ID and password numerous times daily on both my iPad and iPhone.  This started happening after I installed the latest update. Any suggestions?

    Ever since installing the latest update to iOS 7.1.2 I am prompted numerous times daily to enter my Apple ID and password. I am having the same issue on my iPad 2 and my iPhone4. Any suggestions?

    First, if you still have access to the hacked account, rename it if you can and change the password for it.
    How to change the name you use for your Apple ID
    If needed, change the email linked to it as well.  Get control of that account back.
    As all iTunes purchases are linked to the account that purchased them (music, apps, etc) it is best to rename an account rather than creat a new account.  Apple ID's can't be deleted or merged either.
    From Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you need further Apple ID help, you will want to contact Apple, Apple ID Support
    or maybe iTunes Support

  • HT203128 Why can't I sign in to buy music on iTunes? The prompt doesn't process my Apple ID and password after I reset my password.

    I reset my password for my Apple ID. Then go to Apple to sign in and my new password works. But, when I go to my iTunes App to purchase anything, when prompted to enter my Apple ID and password, it doesn't go through. I don't get any errors saying that I entered anything incorrectly or anything. I just get the prompt to enter my Apple ID and password over and over and over again, which does nothing but **** me off. Someone please help me!!

    Same problem. I enter my password correctly, and I can't get in. but I can get into Apple Support and other login pages with the same (correct) password. Arg!

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

    Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

  • Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting

    Dear Friends...... I have an ipad 2 32gb with wifi and 3g enabled sim..... i bought it second hand .... and now if am going to download any games it is showing me an email id and asking for its password... please guide me how can i change this setting to my email id and password

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

  • HT4623 When I downloaded the new iOS software to my I-phone at one point I was asked to enter my Apple ID and password.  I didn't remember at the time so given the option to by-pass/continue, I did.  Thereafter , my Apple ID was "diasabled". How do I "ena

    While downloading the new apple software to my I-phone , a prompt asked me to input my "Apple ID and password", BUT the option to by-pass and continue was also offfered, so I by-passed and did not enter my Apple ID or password because I had forgotten it temporarily and wished to continue the lengthy time to download.
    Consequently, when I attempt to add updates to the Apps. on my I-Phone,  a new prompt appears stating that my "Apple ID has Been DISABLED."  There is no additional language as to why it was disabled in regard to my I-phone.  FYI, my "Apple ID and Password" continue to function ., ie are "ENABLED",in regard to my Apple desk top computer.
    This disabling of my Apple ID results in an inability to update my I-phone for anything.
    My question/request is as follows: How do I "enable" my apple use by having my I-phone recognize my existing Apple ID and password ?

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,
