My Mac keeps asking me for my iCloud Password, is that normal?

My Mac prompts me for my iCloud Password when I boot up and during my current session...even when I have already checked it to remember my password in my Keychain. It certainly asks me every time I reboot and start up, is there anyway to fix this problem? Even when I enter the wrong password, it doesn't matter. It just wants me to enter something. I just want it to stop prompting me for the password. I selected that it remember the password in the keychain, and it still asks me for the password. Does anyone else have this sort of problem out there? How do I fix it?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)

Where can I find the box you mention to uncheck it?

Thanks, P

That didn’t work.

For me, disabling iCloud keychain on the Mac with the problem was the ultimate solution.

Try the method of LilBirdie93, on page 2 of this thread. I perhaps made it more clear, perhaps less clear in my post on page 3.

hey apple, any solutions what gives?

So basically the solution is to simply ignore the request.

The next time I reboot, I'm going to just try cancelling the iCloud Password and App-specific password prompts from the get-go, and see what happens.

It looks like ingoring seems to be the right task - same does Apple...

THINK DIFFERENT!

I'm having the same problem. I have no idea what to do...so frustrating. Hate to say it but it makes me want to you use something other than iTunes.

No, it is not that simple, and it does not solve the problem.
