The iCloud password isn't saved anywhere on your device, this is the way it's supposed to work.

HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

Could be part of Apple's new security procedures that were implemented this past week.

You can't do anything. You have encountered the activation lock. Unless you have some sort of contact with the previous owner you have bought a very expensive paper weight.
You can find out more about activation lock from Apple's site here: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

It needs the restrictions passcode. You or someone with physical access to the phone had to set it. It can not set itself.

ICloud asks for Apple ID password for old email account

My iPod Touch 5 keeps asking me for my iCloud Apple ID password for my former mail address. I have tried entering every possibility I can think of (not exactly sure of my old password) so that I might go in and fix or delete it but it still pops up. I have no access to this old address as the account no longer exists and I am no longer with the provider. My current Apple ID shows up fine when I log in to check it and shows no sign of the old address. Any thoughts?
Running version 8.1.2

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Why does iTunes ask for me to login when I start the Application?

I used to never have to enter my password right off the bat when I opened the iTunes program. Did an update start requiring this or did I mess with the settings. I tried clicking on on my account and resetting the warnings, but that didn't help. I also removed the preferences from my profile, but that didn't seem to help. Any advice??
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello,
when I look for list.plist the directory
arrow indicates there are files but no files show in
the directory.
Files named list.plist or files which name contains list.plist ?
I have no file named list.plist since I trash the one I told before.
Is this similar to the "hide system
files" option in Windows? If so, how do I turn on
the view to show the file? Thanks in advance...
On Mac, if a file is hidden* there is a good reason... so don't try to make them visible except if you know exactly what you do !
* In general, a file which name begins with a dot is invisible in Finder.

Ipad asking for passcode but I dot have one

I Have been locked out of my iPad mini. After updating it is asking for a passcode. I have never used a passcode before.

Is your iPad new in the sense of being brand new or is it the latest generation?
If you do not have very much on it you could connect it to iTunes on your computer (if you use one) and on the screen that pops up starting with the Summary tab click on the Restore button further down. Be sure to set it up as a new device? You will lose any saved data but at least it will unlock your device. Alternatively, you could could do it through Settings on your ipad. Either way, you my have to redownload your purchased apps again.

If you can't remember your apple id or password then sadly that phone has been bricked, without that infomation te activation lock cannot be removed by apple or anyone else.

Hard restart iphone 4 asks for apple ID password

i normally sometimes do what is called hard restart for my iphone 4 (hold down the home button and the sleep button till the phone shuts down and the apple sign appears and te restarts) and the phone used to restart normally and asks for the lock screen code and when i enter it i access the phone.
for the past couple of days, when i do a hard restart, as soon as i enter the lock screen code and the phone unlocks, i get the small pop up window with my apple ID asking me to enter the apple ID password. and i enter the password and everything is normal.
i am jsut wondering, why does it ask for the apple ID password now upon doing a hard restart, when it didn't used to do so?

WHO calls this a hard restart? Apple doesn't.
The process you decribed is actually called a "reset" by Apple. Not a "hard" reset, not a "soft" reset, and certainly not a "hard restart". Simply a "reset".

Problems with my Apple id since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: you're password was reseted but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hackd

hi everyone,
since 2 weeks: i received for 3 times a mail from Apple who said: "you're password was reseted..." but i didn't asked for reset. So i have to re-change my password again. How can i be sure my account is not hacked ?
Best regards.

I'll add my problem to this list as it sounds similar. First a little background. This is a problem I think we will see from a lot of long term users, so here is my story. When .Mac was first made available I signed up and was given a new apple ID [email protected] At this point I already had an Apple ID that I was using for just music purposes (apps didnt't exist yet) but was told by apple I would have to give it up. They could not merge IDs and would not change them. The end result was getting a new Apple ID and having to redownload all my purchased music over P2P or burn it and re-rip to remove the DRM. Fast forward a bit to a time when Gmail is getting bigger. I'm invited to try it out and I decide that I'm going to stop paying $100 for email, as I never really used he other features iDisk, photo sharing etc, and syncing contacts, calendars and mail was just as easy through gmail. Now years later we have iCloud. I have to sign in with my outdated .mac ID, at this point I have for too many apps/music/shows to drop that ID. When I sign in with that .mac Apple ID I get the automated iCloud message telling me my new email address is [email protected] However when I go to send email from my iCloud account it is using .mac as the sending address and the mail will not go through. I can't change it in the mail app or in settings. I'm kind of at a loss as to where to go next. I'm stuck with a defunct email address as a username that is more or less a key to thousands of dollars worth of content, and a new email address that won't function and nobody at Apple can press the right buttons to help clean it up. Some kind of system should be in place to change a user ID. Maybe once a year or once every other year. **** at this point I would even pay a one time fee just for my user name to be rid of that old .mac extension.

HT4059 Why am I asked for my password each time I open iBook? Started a week or two ago. 4th gen iPad with iOS 6.1.3. And iBooks 3.1.

Take it back to Best Buy and talk to the store manager. Possibly they can work something out with Apple.
In the meantime, try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer. You back up to iCloud over wifi. All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup. You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

The icloud keeps asking for apple id but cannot get it out of the loop

the icloud keeps asking for apple id but cannot get it out of the loop. It will not let me delete or get to settings

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
