Those of you on iOS 5...do you have to re-enter your iCloud password every now and then?
#1
Our iDevices keep asking for me to re-enter my iCloud password every few days for the iCloud backup to work.

This seems kind of silly to have to do that so I'm wondering if it's normal or something wonky with my iDevices?

Thanks.

No, never. Three devices, iOS5 since about a week after it came out.

Hmmmm. Okay, so now I'm confused. Why would all my iDevices do this? I can understand that maybe one is acting weird, but all of them?

Perplexed.

I had to do this all the time after iOS 5 first was released. Between 3 Macs, and 4 mobile devices some of them had errors in the password. I also didn't understand initially that the iCloud account is separate from the iTunes account.

Try changing your password and see if that calms things down a bit?

Well, I'm not getting any errors when I enter my password on each device, so I think the password checks out. And, if I force a backup to iCloud from within the Settings of the iDevice, it backs up just fine.

It's just that a few days later I'll get a pop-up asking me to re-enter the password. Just weird.
