My Iphone keeps asking for my Apple ID and password

No matter what I'm doing while on my phone it will ask me for my Apple ID and password. I sometimes put it in but mostly just cancel. I have synced it more then once but nothing seems to be helping. Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem now. The Apple ID Password window keeps popping up all the time. I enter the password and it pops back up. I also get the pop up for my Apple email that I share with my wife which I have set up just as an email.

This makes the phone useless.


Also, the "Settings>Store... sign in here." is NOT the correct answer. I have a feeling this is something wrong on the iCloud server end.

I think I've discovered what was wrong in our case. I launched iBooks and let it do its synching. Once it had done so, it seems that everything was fine.


It would be helpful if Apple would build in some info about the source of the message--a small piece of text ("this message comes from app X") or a button to tap on to get the details and offending app.


Of course, these are the types of things that one thinks they've solved and a half hour later, the problem re-appears! 😁
