Why does the Apple password banner pop up all the time for me now? It happens every 2 or 3 minutes.

For the past couple weeks whenever I am using my phone the banner that pops up for you to type in your password pops up on the screen. It happens everytime I am using the phone, many times a day. Not sure if this is a bug or possible a hack.? I was thinking of resetting the phone but don't want to deal with the hassle and my mind worrying about losing information and media. Thoughts?
Thanks

I looked into both these ideas. I was signed in and then signe out and signed back in, didn't fix it. All apps are looking like they are not updating, and all apps are said to be up to date when visiting the app store.

  • Why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

    Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it.  I never get the email.  I have reset my password 4 times.  My email address is good.  My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad.  I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?

  • Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails?

    Why does my Apple Mail insert old messages into the body of new emails? The correct sender's name will appear in the "From" column, but an old message from a different sender in the body. This happens randomly. I have an iMac OSX 10.6.8. I recently had the hard drive cleaned, but Apple Mail seemed to be running fine when I set it up again. Could this be a virus? What should I do about it? Thanks for any insights!

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • Why does safari on ipad with ios7 crash all the time compared to ios6? + more ?s

    After ios7 was installed on an ipad2, safari crashes often when viewing simple pages like reddit.com or facebook and google. We got an ipad air with ios7 preinstalled and the problem persists. Ios6 almost never crashed safari.
    Another issue I am having with ios7 is that the input timing for the spacebar seems to be off compared to ios6. Just speculation, but it started after ios7 was installed with no issues prior on ios6.  I used to be able to type incredibly fast with minimal errors on spacing between words. Now it seems to "actl iket his"  some of the time. (Spacing issue for the phrase "Act like this") regarding space bar registry for how quickly I type.
    Another issue, which may actually be a feature of ios7 (if something I read was correct)  is that when multiple tabs are open and I switch between them, it needlessly reloads the page on pages which are not updated with new info. It is an annoyance, and if it is a feature, it is an incredibly stupid one at that.
    Thanks for any help with these issues

    For Safari.
    Tap Settings > Safari then tap to clear cookies, data, and history.
    Then reset the device.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    See if that helped both Safari and the space bar issue.
    If not, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • I restored my ipod but the same message keeps popping up all the time

    I have a 2GB iPod Nano, and while I was trying to charge it today a message popped up from iTunes saying that the ipod is in a recovery mode and I must restore it so that it works with itunes. But when I restored it the same message popped up again. I restarted the computer and the laptop, I reinstalled itunes but I still get the same message. The ipod works and charges fine but it's empty now and I can't upload my songs to it because itunes keeps giving me the "restore" message. Please help me, I don't know what to do!

    a relentless recovery mode message like that can sometimes be caused by a Windows drive letter confusion. for troubleshooting advice on that possibility, see the following document:
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore"

  • Can the apple magic mouse spread out all the windows to pick one of the ones you have open? The four finger swipe?

  • When i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up

    when i turn on my macbook pro why does a bunch of things pop up

    It's the Resume feature of Lion:
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.

    Hi OGELTHORPE,
    I started having the issue again of the desktop image not being the same and switching from my personal image to default image when waking up from sleep. I followed your instructions and when I verified disk permissions on the Macintosh HD it showed a bunch of files all related to permissions differining with iTunes. I went ahead and fixed them.
    Verifying the disk said:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
    Checking extents overflow file.
    Checking catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking catalog hierarchy.
    Checking extended attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK.
    When I verify the 750.16 GB APPLE HDD H... it shows this:
    Verifying partition map for “APPLE HDD HTS547575A9E384 Media”
    Checking prerequisites
    Checking the partition list
    Checking for an EFI system partition
    Checking the EFI system partition’s size
    Checking the EFI system partition’s file system
    Checking all HFS data partition loader spaces
    Checking Core Storage Physical Volume partitions
    The partition map appears to be OK
    I then followed your link and got to the part where it said to delete:
    com.apple.desktop.plist     (corrupted/not working desktop picture changes)
    At first this seemed to fix the situation as I logged back in when waking from sleep. However, today it started happening again where instead of my saved image on the desktop it showed the default. Do you have any ideas of why this might be happening? Does this mean I just have to keep deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist file from now on whenever the issue comes up, or is there a more permanent solution?
    Thanks again for your help!
