I recently bought my friend's iPhone but he never reset the phone or anyhing so every 2 seconds i get a popup for him to sign into his iCloud account. How can i reset the phone so that I can sync my accout to it and not be interrupted anymore??

I'm at a complete loss, if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it

I've done that multiple times but the message still comes up and I tried to erase everything but I need his password to do so.

    Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • HT201317 can i sign into my icloud account from a friends computer so i can get to my pictures

    Can I sign into my icloud account from a friend's computer so i can get to my pictures?

    What you need is a file named Domain.sites (iWeb 2) or Domain.sites2 (iWeb 3).  Copy it from your laptop to your other computer at home.
    It's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  Place it in the same folder on the other computer. 
    All the files for the site are contained in that file/package.  After editing you will have to publish the changes to your hosting server.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    To open your domain file in Lion or later or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

    Hi,
    Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
    Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:

  • I have setup and iPad mini for my mother with her own iCloud account. I have shared a photo album that has downloaded, but I am unable to view any pictures

    I have setup and iPad mini for my mother with her own iCloud account. I have shared a photo album that has downloaded, but I am unable to view any pictures. What do I do?

    I assume you mean on her iPad. Have you tried connecting on another network.

  • TS3989 New MacAir but  photostream does not work.  Message though everything is on. "In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences." And,

    New computer but Photostream does not work.  I am signed into my account but get the following message:  In order to use Photo Stream, you have to be signed into your iCloud account in System Preferences.  I go to system preferences and then get a message that says that my account cannot be accessed.  However, I am using my icloud account for email and other items and it works fine.  Any thoughts?

    Are you getting this messages in iPhoto? If so try the following (again?):
    Log out of iCloud in the System/iCloud preference pane and disable Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.  Then log back in and re-enable, respectively.  That should jump start Photo Stream.

  • You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet.

    Running Safari Version 8.0.3 (10600.3.18) on MacBook Pro with Yosemite Version 10.10.2 (14C109).
    I have one spreadsheet in Numbers on iCloud.com. I do not have Numbers installed on my Mac, I just use Numbers (Beta) on the iCloud.com website. I don't need nor want Numbers installed locally on my Mac for my purposes. I made this spreadsheet when I first installed Yosemite, a couple months ago.
    This morning, I edited the spreadsheet, then tapped on the margin to clear the editing tools. The spreadsheet saved. I closed it, and saw that it updated the date in Numbers on iCloud.
    This evening, I restarted my Mac, restarted Safari, logged in on iClout and went to Numbers. I noted that the time was correct, but the spreadsheet name was corrupted. I tried to open it, and got a message: "You're signed into an iCloud account that doesn't have permission to open this spreadsheet."
    Well, that is hogwash. I have one Apple ID and one iCloud ID. I am already signed into the iCloud.com account via Safari and the correct username is displayed.
    I logged out, cleared Safari cache, quit Safari, then went back on. Same problem, spreadsheet name was corrupted and the message popped up when I tried to open it.
    I have done some searching and have found some others who had a similar problem, yet no answers.
    Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix?

    Hey FatFingerDan,
    It looks like you were accessing iCloud around Mar 11, 2015.
    Is it working now?  There were some system issues last Wednesday. You can check System Status at
    Apple - Support - System Status
    Note you can scroll back on the Detailed Timeline by clicking the back button to see some previous days.
    Take care,

    In the iCloud Control Panel, if you have an iCloud account just enter the ID and password and sign in.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • HT204053 I cannot sign into my iCloud account.  My MAC has my incorrect apple id but it is correct on all other devices (ISO).  How can I get this corrected?  Thanks!

    i cannot sing into my iCloud account on my mac.  IT has the wrong apple ID and my apple ID that has been verified does not work. My other devices have my correct apple id and I can sign in.  This is very frustrating.  Thanks

    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
