Apple ID Verification pop-up

I'm also having this issue on my iPad and my iPhone since updating to 9.1. Very annoying!

There are other reports of this same complaint. There doesn't seem to be any consistent reason for this behavior, but it may be related to unreliable or inconsistent network performance. If you just ignore the prompt when it occurs (tap "not not" or "later" or whichever equivalent choice appears), your iPhone or iPad will probably continue to work normally. If not, you may be experiencing a different problem.

It amounts to a annoyance that may or may not be addressed in a future iOS update.

I'm pretty sure that this is not related to network speed. I have a 120 MBit connection and no problems at all with it. It's simply another nerving bug I am having on my iPhone and on my iPad. At least ignoring the message does work and I don't have to type in my password every single time.

I don't believe is related to speed, just unreliable or inconsistent network performance, meaning every link in the communication chain between your device and Apple. For the time being tapping "Not Now" is sufficient. It's just an annoyance.

My prompt on my iPhone 6s goes a step further. Once I sign in rather than "not now" it says "your apple id needs to be updated" - so after trying everything - including a set up as new - I did reset my password (and had to on two iPads and my Mac - zero fun). The Genuis at Apple insisted that was the fix. And for a few moments I thought it could be. Nope.

I still get the prompts for every power cycle and once just all on its own and to make it worse, I have VERY sporadic automatic iCloud backups. I can reset network setting for those to start backing up, but that restarts my phone and then I get the prompt again - and if I sign in it alerts my iPad that a new phone is using FaceTiime and Messages.

I have an iPad 3 running 8.4.1 and an iPad Air running 9.0.1 and this doesn't happen on those devices and they're CHAMPS about backing to iCloud. I've been to Apple twice, they're stumped and have an open case with Apple Support.

Makes me miss my 4s that was running some version of 8... not a worry in the world.

Any wisdom?

I can't believe they gave you another phone! I got a second one, but man, it took two trips and like five hours and they finally handed me over to Apple Support with my second, buggy phone.

I had my laptop there with me and used iTunes every time and have the issue. Apple even did that in the store to download and reset the firmware and update the software before we used my laptop to restore from iTunes.Meantime, I have the bug. And cannot get rid of it.

However, yes, knock wood because Apple just told me it's a known bug and they're working on it - or let us hope. I have tried all things via iTunes on my MacBookPro to fix phone. I always prefer to update and restore via iTunes. Over the air may take hours for a restore and you have to leave the device pretty much undisturbed. Plus, using iTunes is a hundred times faster. I back up weekly to iTunes and nightly (when the 6s decided it will) to iCloud for any 911 that may occur and iTunes wouldn't be there for me.

Good luck!!

Any updates on this and fixed with 9.2?

I have an open case with Apple and they've been in touch with their engineers but I haven't heard back from them since 9.2 was released. :/

This makes me sad as otherwise very eager to assist.
