Help/Support App Store and Apps keep asking for Apple ID password?

Rook · March 20, 2015

Hello everyone,

I've noticed something weird with my iPad lately. I can't seem to download anything from the App Store because it keeps asking for my password every time. And yes, my password is correct.

Yesterday, I bricked my iPad by deleting everything in MobileSubstrate folder but was able to fix it afterwards.

Today, every time I open an app, it asks for my Apple ID's password infinitely. Only if I type my password correctly. Typing it wrong will ask me to reset the password.

I've tried another iTunes account but still the same issue.

Has anyone else experienced this before? A restore will fix it but I'm on 8.1.2 Jailbroken so I'm probably going to use Semi-Restore but I usually leave that as my last option after I try a few more attempts on fixing this.

Thank you!

TL;DR

My app store and apps keep asking for my password all the time and won't go away. Can't even open apps.

i have not had a problem like that but once my ipad app store was fked up and hwenever i tried to download an app, the ipad would restart. i have heard a problem of this type and only a restore can fix it. so i think you should go for semi-restore.

This also happens to me while in Safe Mode..

I guess a semi-restore is needed then.

Okay, fixed the part where it asks for your Apple ID inside the Apps by Syncing the device with iTunes (log in to the same Apple ID first and make sure your PC is authorized).

It still keeps asking for my Apple ID all the time in the App Store though. Can't download anything on my iPad but I can on my iPhone and they're using the same Apple ID. If I download the app on my iPhone I can direct download it on my iPad without entering password but I want to fix this on my iPad because my iPhone is sluggish.
