Sign into icloud box won't go away

As soon as I power on my ipad mini, the sign into iCloud dialogue box pops up. I type in the password, but it pops up with the box again as if I didn't type anything in. I've tried holding the home and power buttons simultaneously to restart it, to no avail. Box comes back once it reboots. I've tried to restore to factory settings from itunes, but the ipad wants me to turn off the "find my ipad" option in the settings. I can't do this either since the ipad won't let me connect to wifi/internet to verify the password for my apple ID.

Try resetting it (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release) and as soon as it restarts quickly turn on wifi in settings.

"Sign in to iCloud" box won't go away on iPad

Hi Jayhawk,
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the page and Delete the iCloud account. Make sure you have an internet connection, then go back to Settings>iCloud and sign back into your iCloud account.

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

I need to deactive icloud to be able to repair my phone as it is damaged. however when signing into icloud it appears with a box asking me to verify the information in my email. When loging into my email inbox, there is no message there from icloud to verify. so how do I get onto icloud or how else can I deactivate it without using my device?

Hi ryball89,
Happy Holidays! If you are having issues with the verification email for your iCloud/Apple ID, follow the steps below:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email
Not sure where that email was sent? Here are some tips to help you find it.
When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
Search for the email
We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
Make sure you're checking the correct email account
If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account.
If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
Resend the email
To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
Make sure that you're getting email
If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address.
Contact us
Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.
Cheers,
Judy

TS3274 icloud backup box won't go away, so i can't turn off my ipad or do anything on it

icloud backup box won't go away, so i can't turn off my ipad or do anything

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

My IPad is requesting that sign into iCloud. When I put in my password it tells me that it is incorrect and to try to reset. When do that it sill won't let me. This is enabling me from doing anything on my iPad. How do I get around this?

Where are you resetting the password? On your computer, I assume since you cannot use the iPad?
Have you tried a reset to see if the popup will disappear?
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the button

HT5616 Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?

Why won't my MacBook Pro 10.9.2 take my Apple ID to sign into iCloud?
I've verified my Apple ID and iCloud is working on my iPad with this same Apple ID.
THANKS.

I have the same problem. After updating to 10.9.2
My ipad and iphone works perfect. It's a certificate problem. Try to reset the keychain http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5813
Didn't work for me, so I'm calling apple support or maybe reinstall maverick if they can't solved it
Maybe it works for you :-)

IPad won't let me do anything unless I sign into iCloud

Generally I can get onto my iPad and play games, but now it won't let me do anything. A pop-up will come and say that I need to sign into iCloud. The password I have for it will not work though. I can't try to do anything unless I sign in. I will push "ok" on the pop-up and it'll come back a second later. How do I make it stop popping up?

Put in the correct password.

After the restore did the phone work properly for a while? Say, a day or so?
If so it is possible you have an app that doesn't let go of memory properly. I reboot my iPhone ( hold sleep/wake and hole till you see the apple logo) every few days. This resets the memory. The iPhone OS has doesn't seem to mange memory very well yet. So a reboot will help with that. I have had my phone almost slow to a stop before I started rebooting. Always reboot after installing a new app. Also do you close all pages in Safari when you are done? This is a good practice. Safari will run in the background and use processor time and drain your battery quicker. Create a new blank page then close all others when you are done browsing for a while. I have also found that certain web site that have animated images like weather maps will turn the phone into molasses. As soon as i close that page it gets faster.
If all of the above have no effect then as Tamara said it is time for a trip to the Genius bar.
Good luck

IPad stuck on "sign into iCloud" pop up

Hey everybody,
I have searched online for the past 2 hours trying to sort this, and before I launch my iPad across the room, I thought I would take a shot at enquiring in here to see if anyone can help me.
I turned my iPad on today for the first time since moving house. Upon turning on I was greeted with something along the lines of "iPad has not been backed up in 3 weeks, sign in to back up now". So, I enter my password and it says it's incorrect. There is an option to reset it, which I click, but I cannot get on the internet as I'm yet to connect to the wifi. I cancel the dialog box and am now being continually harassed by "sign into iCloud". By the time I cancel one, another appears!
As I've just moved home I can't even connect to the wifi through these bloody pop ups. Nor do I longer have a laptop to plug it into and use to access iTunes; it has all be set up over wifi.
I have tried the reset (holding down home and power button) to no avail, and obviously Apple advisors are not available at this hour.
I am seriously losing patience and I'm really hoping someone here can help me :(.
Many thanks in advance ! X

Dear Sky,
I did consider that before posting. My mom was having this exact same issue today. This post came up on my google search when I was searching for solutions. Coley1991 describes the issue very well. I noticed that no solution was ever posted and that 84 other people in the last 6months have had this issue. Therefore I decided to post a solution for the record... for the archives...for the future poor souls who fall into this aggravating iCloud/wifi/apple ID log in trap and are a hair away from smashing their device on a rock out of frustration. I hope it helps.

I signed into icloud on my phone and then lost all my contacts. what should i do to get the contacts back?

I signed into icloud on my iphone 6 and somehow all my contacts are now gone in my address book.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the contacts. The message said if I signed out of icloud I'd lose
all photo streams and any data on the phone. Can someone help???
Thanks.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

I just restored my phone, however I have to sign into icloud and the phone is set to the previous owner's email and password. I am unable to get in contact with them. What can I do?

Hello codyfromseminole,
After reviewing your post, I believe your device is under Activaltion Lock. The following article will provide you with more information about the feature:
iCloud: Activation Lock
With iOS 7 or later, Find My iPhone includes a feature called Activation Lock, which is turned on automatically when you set up Find My iPhone. Activation Lock makes it harder for anyone to use or sell your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if it’s ever lost or stolen.
With Activation Lock, your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can:
Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
Sign out of iCloud on your device
Erase and reactivate your device
Important: Make sure to remember your Apple ID and password, and that your password is unique and secure—someone else shouldn’t be able to guess it. For more information, see the Apple Support article Security and your Apple ID.
If you want to give away or sell your device, be sure to erase your content and settings (in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When you erase your content, Find My iPhone and Activation Lock are also turned off.
If you no longer have the device, follow the instructions to remove a device you no longer have. For more information, see the Apple Support article What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
For more information about Activation Lock, see the Apple Support article Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

When signing into icloud on a second hand ipad2 i bought with my apple Id, it would let me and states the maximimum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad.

Hey
When signing into icloud with my apple Id on a second hand Ipad 2 i bought it won't let me and states 'The maxium number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad. How do i sign into icloud then? Help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure you are using the sign in option and not trying to create a new one. If you need to create a new ID...
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer.

I am unable to connect to wifi because my sign into icloud screen reappears every 2 seconds

I am having trouble connecting to wifi because my sign into icloud screen reappears every 2 seconds, knocking it back offline. It won't take my correct password. What do I do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings (if you can)
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
