Why is my ipad Air icloud password pop up reappearing every time i draft an email

Does anyone know why all of a sudden my Ipad Air is requesting my iCloud password every time I draft an email (regardless of the account)? Also, if I click cancel, i still can draft the email. If i put the password in, the pop up disappears. This happens after the ipad is idle for a few minutes.

Gotcha...figured it was worth mentioning.
What I would do next (provided you've exhausted everything else) would be to backup the device using iTunes...backup your media as well. Then restore the device as new, not using any backup. After the initial setup, don't install any apps or media. Test for the issue. If the issue is present after restoring as new, that a good indication that there's a hardware issue. If the issue is not present after restoring as new, the issue a likely a botched/borked setting somewhere in the backup of the iPad. In this case (and assuming you want to clear the issue), you'll have to rebuild your device (apps media, settings, everything) from the restored as new state. This won't be pleasant or enjoyable but it may need to be done if you want to clear the issue. I had to do this recently to clear a different issue and I know it's not easy, especially all of the settings involved. I may have it a bit easier than most since I keep my iPads pretty empty...my 16 GB devices have more than 8 GB free on average (3 - 4 GB used).

    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Privacy tab.

    why does my ipad air work with my netgear routerWGT 624

    Why wouldn't it work with that router?
    Or are you really asking why doesn't it work with that router? If that's your question try rebooting the router by powering it off for thirty seconds then turning it back on.
    If this doesn't help please explain in more detail what happens when your iPad attempt to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

  • ICloud password pop ups, asking for my gmail

    For the past few weeks I have been getting iCloud password pop ups when I power up my Mac Pro, asking for my password for my gmail account. I enter the correct password 3-4 times before it goes away. I have the same problem on another user login?

    Contact your carrier and have them re-set your voice mail password. Once they do, you should only have to enter it once. Then you won't be prompted again.

  • On my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes

    on my iphone 4s, with the ios 7 update why icloud password is always asked every 3-4 minutes? I'm getting crazy.

    its asking you to verify your Cloud account and you should do so.
    You can either do so by answering your own secret questions or asking for email to be sent to you which gives link to reset password.
    Has to be 8 characters minimum and at least one Upper case and One lower case letter with one numeral
    Hope this helps

    Macbook air Wi Fi and sound stops every time it goes to sleep. i have to  restart it every time to use wifi and sounds. this started happening just after the latest upgrade to OS X. any reasons why its doing that and how to fix it.

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reinstall OS X.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • Why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

    why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

    Do #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.
