Annoying iCloud sign-in popup, blocking entire iPhone

Hello all,
Since I last rebooted my iPhone, an iCloud sign-in popup has been appearing, overlaying everything else on the iPhone. Now, I have reset my AppleID password and cannot login using it on my iPhone. This is not strange as the pop-up is so aggressive I cannot even unlock my sim-card nor configure a WLAN.
Essentially, my iPhone 5 is currently as useful as a stone.
So, does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?
Also, I am fine with completely disabling iCloud on this device, but I haven't been able to do so yet.

Ok, so what I did was to press cancel when requested to logon and get access to internet by timing the small timeslot inbetween the pop-ups and finally activating my WLAN. Once connected to the internet I could login and that of course got rid of the annoying pop-up.
Another possibility to just get rid of the pop-up is to try the wrong password three times and press "reset password/forgot password" which redirects you to a website. Once the website has loaded, the popups stops. This thus does not require one to actually login, but requires you to have an internet connection.
Anyway, nice way of getting people to login to Apple services...

Icloud sign-in hanging up on iphone...

In the process of trying to share my calendar with my wife's iPhone, I try to sign into her iCloud using her credentials and it just sits there. Anybody know why this would hang up at this point? I know it says no service on the pic, but I am connected via wifi. Thanks for the help!

Check it....
iCloud sign in greyed out on iPad

IPhone 4 with iCloud sign in problem.

I have an iPhone 4 which has had issues connecting to wifi networks. It works some of the time. I guess it has been dropped a bit.
Recently it's not connecting at all, which is not normally a problem. I only use it for music, notes and phone functions.
What's happening is that it is coming up with a screen asking me to sign into iCloud. I type in the password just to get rid of the screen but, as its not connecting to a wifi network, its not going through. So I have this annoying sign in screen popping up every 5 seconds or so, literally.
I have done a soft reset. No joy.
I have tried to reset it with iTunes but iTunes tells me I have to turn off Find My Phone, which I can't as it either wont connect to the network (the network is working fine, the phone just cant see it) or the iCloud sign in keeps popping up and not allowing me to put in my password in the reset/Find My iPhone window.
In short, I have an iCloud sing in window that has turned my phone into an annoying brick.
I have done a backup yesterday, I just need (I think) some way of force resetting the entire phone without going through a sign in proceedure.
Any suggestions?

Nope. I have a phone only service.
I am currently trying a force reset. I found out, using "The Google", that I can do that by releasing the top button while doing a force restart and keeping the home button down. I have been able to reset the phone and am doing a restore now. Mind you, it won't help if that **** iCloud window pops up again....

Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again? Suggestions?

You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

A notification from iCloud has blocked my iphone 4S and I can't do anything

A notification from iCloud has blocked my iphone 4S and I can't do anything, any advice?

Don't know what "notification from iCloud" you mean and doubt it has to do with your "block," but try a reset by holding the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

I can not get the Icloud sign in page to load on my IPad or IPhone

I can not get the icloud sign in to load on my IPad on IPhone

You can't go to icloud.com using Safari on an iOS device, if that's what you're trying to do. You have to go there from your computer.

ICloud sign in won't disappear on iphone

Hello,
on my iphone5s, the iCloud sign in screen won't stop popping up, not allowing me to do anything else. I do not have email address associated with the pop up, nor do I remember that password. I can't even get into my settings to investgate because of the pop up screen.
thanks in advance

Hi teddy08,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation, do you recognize the email address showing up as an old email address or is the email address you are being prompted for completely unrecognizable to you? If you do recognize the email address, I suggest using the attached article to reset the passcode for that account. If you had a rescue email address on that account, the email to reset the password will come to that rescue address. You can also try to reset by answering the security questions on the account.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
If you are still having issues resetting the password, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the attached article and contact Apple Support.
Cheers,
Joe

I have 18000 photos and i have to signed up to 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and see them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?

How do i get these to the cloud to view across my devices?
What settings do i need to use on my iPhone and iPad?
Or is iCloud not the best way to store and view my library?
Thanks Spud

You are a bit early.
Wait for a few month. iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac: http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
and also: Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles, and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library. Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

How do i add existing web addresses to the popup blocker?

'''different windows/tabs continually open up on different sites especially those from "http://media.fastclick.net". Although it is in a new tab, it is rather annoying. '''

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Pop-up+blocker
The popup blocker should block all popups, exceptions for domains that you want to '''allow''' popups for are what you add to the Exceptions window.

How can i block stolen iphone 4 and stop all of its functionalities?

I lost my IPHONE 4 just few hours ago. I dont know how block all of its functionalities so no one can use it. I have the application of "Find My Iphone" turned on but I dont know how to use it. I dont even know my IMEI or Serial number. I am asking how can I retrieve it from my iCloud Account.
For those who could help me you can contact me at my Email account:

Thanks!

First, it's a really bad idea to put your email address in a post to a public forum where millons of people, including some who have less than stellar ethics, will see it. At the least you will now be on thousands of spammer lists.
Log in to your account using your Apple ID and password at https://www.icloud.com and click "Find my iPhone".
