IOS 8.3 iCloud password and backup issues

Since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to 8.3, I get a message every morning asking for my iCloud password, I sign in as requested.   I have tried signing out of iCloud and signing back in and that didn't help.  Today I noticed that my iCloud had not backed up since the upgrade. if you are getting a similar message I suggest you check when the last backup was done.   It appears that as the phone tries to do a backup it seems to want the password but I don't see this until the morning when I unplug the phone and as the phone is now no longer being charged it fails to conduct the backup.  My wife's 4s has a similar problem, but my iPad 2 doesn't have the same problem.  I have plenty of iAny ideas?  Is this a bug in 8.3?

Did you try doing a backup manually - Settings/iCloud/Backup/Back Up Now ? If it needs the password, it should ask you which you can supply.  I don't seem to have this problem but will keep an eye out for it.

  • ICloud password and backup problem

    iPad Air
    8.2 iOS
    Repeatedly asking for iCloud password. No pattern, just constantly.
    I can verify the password by logging into iCloud itself, so I know the password is valid.
    Also unable to run a backup.
    If I sign out of iCloud (like it has been suggested elsewhere in this support group), delete at all prompts and sign back in -- that only means it deletes what is on the iPad itself, and iCloud will repopulate with all the deleted info (like photos) once I sign back in -- correct? Hitting delete is sort of scary, right?

    Okay. signed out of iCloud. fixed the constant request for password, but now back up doesn't work because I suddenly need more room. It was fine 2 days ago before this all started and I haven't added anything to make it too large. What the heck?

  • ICloud / storage and backup issue

    I currently have a 4S and have used 13.3 GB of storage on my iPhone.  I am unable to backup to iCloud even though I have free space of 15 GB b/c it is indicating that I need another 8.7 GB of storage.  I have no old backups taking up space on iCloud, so how do I resolve this issue so that I have enough space for OS 7.0?

    In Storage and Backup page check these. How many available space you have in iCloud and tap on "Manage Storage" to see how many Storage it needs the next Backup.

  • ICloud password and email issue

    On my iphone 4s it shows my old address on the cloud, but i do not know the password and i cannot figure out how to get it.  I have a new email address that I use for my apple id.  How do i change my icloud email?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Forgotten iCloud password and 2nd email

    My mum has forgotten her iCloud password and doesn't know what is other email to reset iCloud password. We hit password reset many times but got no email to continue, therefore we couldn't know which email it has been sent to.
    The big issue is
    * She has an iPhone 6, with Find my iPhone activated, she can use the phone normally, but cannot delete or deactivate the iCloud account
    * She got a new iPhone 6 Plus, restored using the old iPhone 6 backup. It results in the iPhone 6 Plus is registered with the forgotten iCloud account as well. It cannot be deleted.
    We tried many passwords with the iCloud account, results in account disabled.
    We live in Vietnam, there is no Genius Bar here. Can we email her scanned password /or mail a certified copy of her passport to Apple Support to ask for password resetting? The account is on her full name, matching Passport name. Or, can we visit a Genius Bar in Singapore or any other country, presented with her passport, to reset the iCloud account?

    First, remove your personal information from your post.  That's not needed here.  This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
    Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
