I'm constantly being logged out from Apple ID

So, I've been a mac/apple user for a long time, but lately I guess *I must be doing something wrong, cuz apple id is driving me nuts.

What I mean is, I have an iphone, ipad and mac mini. Things used to work great. They were all logged into my apple id account and I could do txt-forwarding from my iphone and text my family from imessages on the ipad or mini. NOW,... it seems like I'm constantly being logged out. I grab my ipad to listen to a podcast while I'm riding the exercise bike...and...nope, can't just fire it up....gotta log back in...and not just log in, gotta answer the 2-layer security questions to 'unlock' the account. Then on my mini I can tell that text-fowarding isn't working anymore, cuz my non-iphone contacts have their names showing up shaded pink in imessages. This is happening like ever day. It's like all of the devices are out of sync. I've even tried turning them all off and back on at the same time. HOW DO I MAKE THIS GO AWAY?????

If nothing has changed, if I haven't changed my password etc., this should be/remain seamless."

Troubleshooting this:


I. View Your Devices:

View or Remove your Associated Devices on a Mac or PC - Apple Support. Does anything look suspicious? IF so, I'd say assign a new eMail address and a new password to your Apple ID.


II. Modify Your Credentials:

Perhaps your credentials are confiscated, though a full assumption on my part. If something occurs that seems not of your knowledge, consider modifying your credentials, using the following:


III. Sign Out of iCloud on Each Device:

Perhaps things got out of sync somehow? If items are not keeping up with one another then that would seem the case. So, sign out of iCloud on each any every device associated to your account, and sign back in one-by-one.
