Why is my phone asking me to enter my Apple ID password every hour or so?

I have 2 x iPads and 2 x iphones all using 1 apple id perfectly. Everything syncs as it should and iCloud works fine. However, recently, all my devices have started randomly asking for my Apple ID password in the pop up box - seems like every time I wake it up, or hourly.
Sometimes I enter it, sometimes I don't - doesn't seem to make a difference.
Doesn't seem to be connected to a particular app, or to the App store (thought it might be auto updating apps? But it's not).
This started about the same time as the new 5.01 update was released.
Anyone else seeing this or know why this is happening or how to stop it?

Hi ...
all my devices
Try "resetting" ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart the devices.
Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

HT4623 I'm continually getting a pop-up message on my iPhone that asks me to enter my Apple ID password for an email address that I no longer use. How do I get rid of it?

If you are signed into your current iCloud ID you shouldn't be prompted for the old ID unless there is another service still signed into it. Check the ID in iMessage (Settings>Messages>Send & Receive), FaceTime (Settings>FaceTime), Game Center (Settings>Game Center), the iTunes store (Settings>iTunes & App Store), etc. to make sure you aren't still signed in with the old ID. If you are, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

You're right, it's because you're a course creator or contributor.
You can just cancel this dialog box but you can't avoid it.

I have to re-enter my Apple ID Password every time I open iBooks

I am prompted to re-enter my Apple ID Password evertime I open iBooks on my iPad and iPhone. I tried signing out and in again to iTunes but it dd not help. This only started with upgrade to iOS 7.

It could be something that needs to be fixed by Apple since there are other reports. I don't use that feature on my 5s so I can't comment. I wouldn't think you have to enter your password over and over. And since there doesn't seem to be any documentation from Apple other than below from this URL, who knows.
Your fingerprint can also approve purchases from iTunes Store, the App Store, and the iBooks Store, so you don’t have to enter your password.
Also, see here which also mentions the issue and that Apple recognizes it as an issue to be fixed.

Why do I have to enter my Apple ID password every time on the iOS app?

Every time I open the iTunesU app on my iPad I need to authenticate. I'm guessing it is due to being a course creator but is this really necessary?

I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password. Please help.

I need to know the multitude of reason why my iPhone 5s would prompt me for my Apple ID password.
All I did was place my phone on the charger, I then walked away for 10-15mins and when I came back it was asking me to enter my Apple ID password.
I never gave my password out to anyone ever and hardly anyone knows my email address.
I haven't recently downloaded anything either and I only have one apple device which is my iPhone 5s.
I just want to know really if it could have been because someone was trying to log into my Apple ID?
Please help with multiple reasons why this could have happened. I just want to know the options. Thank you

My iPhone 5s did the same thing yesterday. I have iCloud backup turned on in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and that means it will automatically do a backup when the phone is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I had it charging and when I returned it was asking for the password and the prompt did identify that it was requesting it for the iCloud backup (something you may not have noticed if you didn't look closely).
It has never done that before and 2 iPads in my household have not yet done it. All are on iOS 7.1
I have found a report of the same issue by a user of the 7.1 beta and in that case it was happening every day. In my case I entered the password then went to the same area in Settings as above and used the "Backup Now" button to do a backup. I will see tonight when I charge again whether this is going to be an every day problem.

Settings>iTunes/App Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in.

I changed my email address for iTunes & iCloud, but my new phone keeps asking for me to enter the apple id password for an old email to use for store purchases. What do I do to restore my backup to my new phone?

Why do i have to enter my apple id for every purchase

Why do I have to enter my apple id for every purchase in the app store. I thought the new ios would remember it every time.

It only "remembers" such for 15 minutes after the first purchase. This is done for security reasons. It is app updates that no longer require a password.
