iPhone Annoyances
Keeps asking for my gMail password
But I just entered it on my iphone yesterday and had no problems accessing gmail; but today it asks me again. From an article in imobie here are their suggestions. Most relate to asking for Apple password, but article says “Keeps asking for password error”.
- Restart the iPhone. (This worked for smi 20191109, was able to access email a few mins after the reboot)
- Press/hold top button till slider appears, slide it to turn off your iPhone completely.
- Then press/hold the top button to turn it back on.
- Update to the latest iOS version.
- Sign out of iCloud and then log in.
- Settings > me > iCloud > at the bottom tap Sign out > enter password > Turn off.
- Tap Sign Out on upper right corner > Sign out again to confirm. Wait a while then Settings > Sign in to your iPhone > enter Apple ID and password > tap Sign in on top right > Enter your iphone passcode.
- Make sure iCloud is still working
- Reset your Apple ID password
- Settings > me > Password & Settings > Choose change password
- Enter current password, new password, and confirm > tap change or change password.
- Reset network settings. Settings > General > Scroll down and set Reset > tap Reset Network Settings.
- (Their last choice is to restore your iPhone without data loss. Uh-uh, I'm not doin' this.)
Troubleshooting Tips for All iPhone Models
From MakeUseOf
- Restart your iPhone. See step #1 in previous article.
- Update iOS if it's not most recent
- Update your apps. Manually (via App Store) or automatically (Settings > me > iTunes and App Store, look under Automatic Downloads section, toggle Updates to on.)
- Force-close an app: double-press home button, swipe up on the app to force-close.
- Reset network settings (see step #6 in previous article)
- Reset all settings or do a Factory reset. I'm not going to describe this as it's not something I plan to do; visit the article and look at their steps 6 and 7 if you feel you need this.
