Q: My iPad mini keeps asking for the iCloud I.D. Over and over ever couple of seconds

My new iPad mini keeps prompting me for the iCloud password. It comes up every couple of minutes. And I have saved contact info but it is there half the time

iPad, iOS 7.0.4

    You might want to try deleting the iCloud account, then signing back in.  Before doing so, save any photo stream photos to your camera roll (open the my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Then sign back in and review your sync settings, including iCloud backup, photo stream and Find My iPhone.

    It is impossible to enter the icloud password, as the request for the icloud password, means that you can never finish your password in the time. Have you any other suggestions to solve this problem?
