A lot of iPad owners have recently reported that their iPad keeps asking for the password. Specifically, they will get a pop-up menu asking them to enter their Apple ID details every time an app download was interrupted.

If you are struggling to deal with the issue, then we are here to help. In the section below, we are going to show you how to fix an iPad that is promoting for your iCloud password.

1. Look for infected apps

If the problem is still present, then it’s time to look for infected apps. All you need to do is to scroll through folders and look for all the “waiting” apps. These apps are stuck on the download. If you are asked to enter the password the next time you try to download an app, then you simply need to log into iTunes. Once you do that, the download will continue to run until it’s finished.

Following this method, you should fix the issue. If nothing changes, then try doing it again to see if the problem is fixed. However, if the problem still persists after several attempts, then make sure you read on.

Doing so will eliminate the problem. If you come across any issues during the process, then make sure you reboot your device and repeat the process.

3. Reset your iTunes Store login

Sometimes, it’s your iTunes Store login that causes the problem. To fix the issue, you simply need to log out of iTunes and then log back in. To do this, open the Settings app on your iPad, then select iTunes & App Store and select your Apple ID. After that, tap Sign Out to complete the task. Now just wait for a couple of seconds and log back into your Apple ID. You can reboot your device to apply the change. Once your device finishes booting up, then try downloading an app.
