Iphone keeps asking me for my AppleID password

I found the answer to the really annoying problem of my iPad repeatedly asking for my AppleID password as a result of Chuck's suggestion in this thread - thank you! In my case the solution was a little more subtle. It turns out I had bought an album through my iPad which included a 'Digital Booklet'. Of course neither iPads or iPhones can cope with these so it stuck as pending download which was invisible to the iOS devices.

The answer was to go into iTunes store through a Mac (or PC!) and into the account details. At the top of the account screen was a 'download' button for the undownloaded Digital Booklet and once I did that, no more nagging requests for my password.

Sweet relief!

Thanks to all who have helped on this thread.

I had exactly the same problem and I also had a digital booklet to download. This seems to have solved the problem n my phone too. Thank you do much. It's bring driving me mad!

Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Delete > KEEP on my iPhone > Sign back in using AppleID and password and MERGE all data/content

This issue commonly occurs after an app download or update was interrupted, keeping the iPad from fully downloading the latest version of the app, and it is usually easy to solve try this fix

Logging out of iTunes on my iPhone seemed to fix this super annoying problem...for now anyway.

How do you log out of itunes, on your iphone? EDIT : disregard, I found it.

Thanks to everyone for their help on this. For me the problem was not just that it kept asking for my apple password but that it was asking for it against an old email address without giving the option of changing that email address. It started on the ipad and then spread like a mystical airborne virus to the iphone! For me the answer was facetime - as i never use it the old email address was still in there but with no password. I've changed it to the new email and put the password in and voila! Fixed. If it comes back to haunt me I'll let you know... and if I havent smashed either item to smithereens as a result I'll post the fix I find 🙂

I was having this problem too, but instead of going through the hassle to check if something was downloading or not, I did the following steps.

Tap Settings

Scroll to iTunes & App Stores and select it

Tap on your Apple ID: (your email)

Tap View Apple ID

Tap your Apple ID

Confirm everything is correct and hit Done

Everything should be back to normal after that. The problem I was having was that it would be popping up, but it was my old account information.

I hope this helped!

Sadly my facetime fix was a temporary one. Have now tried kbratt's and am keeping my fingers crossed...

Thank you! That worked for me like a charm.

love apple

My iPhone 5 was also pestering me for Apple ID Password. Every time I would type it in, iPhone would not recognize it. Finally, I went into iTune under Setting and saw that my Apple ID password was not entered there (though it is everywhere else). Enter the password and life is great again!

holy **** thank you was about 2 seconds from beating it to ****

I have ios7 and when I go to do this, it doesn't give me the option to keep ANYTHING on my iphone. It only gives me the option to delete and then thats it. It tells me that if I delete it, it will delete everything off my iphone as well. It's ******* me off.

Also, if there is a billing issues, it won't stop asking for the stupid password either. It's REALLY annoying Because on ios7 you CAN'T delete your account info. It's a pending download...and my credit card is my visa debit card attached to my bank account. So right now there isn't enough money in the bank account to deal with it so it's constantly asking me for the password. But...every since I downloaded the NEW ios7 it's CONSTANTLY asking me for my stupid password even when I am trying to load a game that I play.

I did notice that I made an instore purchse for my game Valor and it didnt download and it keeps asking for me password. But that purchase has gone through. Np. Its just annoying. And I cant turn it off from asking that.
