How do i stop my icloud from upgrading

I recently upgraded to IOS 8. I also forgot my apple id password and security questions. My problem is that my icloud is continually upgrading, so I cant get a reset password to my email, because I cant get email because my icloud won' stop the upgrade cycle.

See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure you let the download(s) complete before disconnecting from the internet.

    If you don't have an icloud account, then icloud is not the thing that's popping up a window.
    If you are being asked to enter a password when accessing itunes, then the problem may be that you have purchased items (apps, songs, etc) on the device that were purchased using a different itunes account than the one you currently have defined on your device. 
    Purchased items are forever associated with the itunes account (the apple ID) that was used to make the purchase.  If you change the ID on the device, you won't be able to update any of them.  You'll have to purchase them again.

    If you are printing via a Windows shared printer and it is the Windows user account that you are being prompted for then you can save this in the Keychain, as shown below.

  • Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

    How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
    I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud.  I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more.  My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
    I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
    Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches.  This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4.  How do I fix this?
    Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all.  I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file.  Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
    Problem #3:  When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information.  How do I stop this?  Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
    Problem #4:  When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page.  Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns.  Is there a way to format the output?  I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
    Problem #5:  Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work.  (I have had this computer since May 2011).  No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory.  To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually.  Is there a fix to this?
    Problem #6:  Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate.  How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
    Problem #7:  Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

    '''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
    The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
    # Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
    # Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
    # Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
    # Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
    # Click on the Save button.
    Hopefully, problem solved!

    Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID.  If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

  • How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

    How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

    Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

  • Just brought my daughter an iphone and have her setup on my ID. Want to be able to see her messages and photos but dont want my info to appear on her phone. How do i stop the messages from appearing on her phone? (5's)

    Just brought my daughter an iphone and have her setup on my ID. Want to be able to see her messages and photos but dont want my info to appear on her phone. How do i stop the messages from appearing on her phone?

    If you have set up photo stream, this can't be done. As soon as you switch off photo stream on her device to keep your photos from coming to her device, you won't get any as well from her. Same for messages, you can't have both, sorry.
    Maybe look into the family sharing feature if you want the photos to be shared:

  • My husband just got a new iphone and my notes from my older iphone automatically synced with his phone which he doesn't want.  How do I stop my notes from going to his phone

    My husbands new iphone syncs with my old iphone.  All my notes when to his phone.  I don't want this to happen.  How do I stop my notes from going to his phone.  Thanks

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

    I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
    I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
    I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
    I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
    Thanks.
    -JD.

    Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question

  • How do you stop 1.4 from importing??

    I recently installed LR2.3 on a machine with LR1.4.  I thought it would install over but it appears to have installed a completely seperate copy.
    The problem:  when I put a card in my reader, the Windows dialog box pops up for 'what do you want to do with this?'.
    If I select the LR2.3 icon, it pulls up LR1.4 instead!!  The icon definitely says 2.3.
    How do I stop 1.4 from importing and letting 2.3 do it?
    Right now I have to:
    Insert card
    Wait for 1.4 to come up
    shut down 1.4
    Bring up 2.3
    Import
    thoughts?

    I haven't had LR 1.4 installed over a year so I don't quite remember how it worked, but if it uses ADPProxy then you might find relief with the steps shown in this post:

    Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
    Then test to see if it solved the problem.
