Icloud keeps asking password in iPhone

Absolutely exasperating.
On iPhone 5, since a week iCloud keeps asking passwords, and telling me password is incorrrect.
Then, it says account is unavailable. Then it says it cannot retrieve mail.
On Macs, all accounts perform flawlessly.
But, previously, I had a problem with password since many weeks being not recognized by iCloud even from Macs.
Passwords ARE correct.
I tried everything (close iCloud, suppressing/recreating account, reinitializing password, reinitializing iPhone,
reinstalling iOS, etc.).
I saw many threads related, since a year or so, and no apparent solution.
Apple is not often annoying, but here they really need to clean their act with this.

If you've restored the iPhone to factory settings without a backup, re-added the iCloud account on the device and still have those issues, I'd recommend you call AppleCare

  • Changed Apple ID email, iCloud keeps asking password for old email

    I recently lost my iPod touch that didn't have a password on it, so I changed passwords of everything I had on the iPod. Just to be more secure, I changed my Apple ID to a new email address too. The problem is now iCloud on my iPhone keeps asking me to enter my password but it keeps prompting the old ID instead of the new one. And of course when I entered the password (both the new one and the old one), it said wrong password or username. I went to iCloud in Settings but the email address is greyed out so I guess I can't change it.
    Does anyone know how do fix this?
    PS: I was able to manually change the ID for Apple Store but not with iCloud.

    Check this iCloud FAQ support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436, however I don't think you can just change the email for the iCloud ID. I believe you have to delete the current account and create a new one.

  • TS3694 Icloud keeps asking passwords every one second...

  • On my Iphone 5 Icloud keeps asking the password

    Icloud keeps asking the ID apple password. no way to find a solution. what shall I do?

    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.

    Exactly which password are you inputting? iCloud looks for your AppleID password.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

    perhaps users in the iCloud forum can help you.  When you post in there, give them as much information as possible.  Good luck.

  • Icloud keeps asking to accept conditions but won't show where

    icloud keeps asking me to to accept the new conditions but when I click "show me" it never shows me the conditions and where to accept them. I tried deleting my icloud account on my iphone and reinstall it, i reinitialized all the settings. Did not work. Anybody have an idea?

    Hey elduche2000!
    Try adjusting your settings in Safari for blocking cookies to allow all cookies and then try to sign into iCloud again:

  • Can't sign into apps tore account. keep asking password. help

    hai, guys.. mine is pro 10.8.3. the beginning was had problem with previous purchase. then, can't sign into my account and neither the billing info. endless loop. keep asking password. what should i do?
    thank u in advance

    iTunes 9.0.2.
    Trouble logging in for a couple of days.
    1. Always have logged in with my username only.
    2. Now requires me to login with my [email protected]
    3. When I log in with my [email protected] my account details (top-right hand corner of iTunes store) states [email protected]
    4. All my previous purchases state in Info that my Account name is just username.
    5. Now logging in with [email protected] ([email protected]) any new purchase list the Account name as [email protected]
    6. My account two days ago (just username) had credit on it. Now its gone because I can no longer log in under that account.
    7. All purchases under that account that have updates are not available because I cannot log in.
    ITunes & iPhone error message:
    This Apple ID is not available.
    Also, tried logging in to send this reply and I received the message This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons. Why???
    So I reset my password - to the same password and had a few teething problems, but have now managed to login.
    Note: me.com has not been affected. There has been no issues with my login for my me.com account.
    But wait there is more....
    I just thought I would try it again, because I had just reset the password through Apple Discussions, and I can now login with just my username in iTunes. All seems to be working as per usual.
    Why there has been an issue with iTunes and Apple Discussion, and not with logging in to http://www.me.com - I don't know???
    Perhaps this will fix your problem as well - reset your password.
    Weird!

  • HT204053 I have an iTunes (Apple) id but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in...

    I have an iTunes (Apple) id that works fine but the iCloud keeps asking me to sign in and then says that the password is incorrect when I know it isn't. Have tried a password reset that works for everything else (App Store, iTunes etc) but iCloud still won't accept it. Any ideas?

    You would have to access http://appleid.apple.com to find the email address but as you've reset the password you can't get into that. You will have to contact Support: the iTunes Store is probably the best place to start. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column and then 'iTunes Store' in the second column.

  • The icloud keeps asking for apple id but cannot get it out of the loop

    the icloud keeps asking for apple id but cannot get it out of the loop.  It will not let me delete or get to settings

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • TS4002 icloud keeps asking for me enter my password, when i do...it asks again and again..

    icloud mail keeps asking me to enter my password over and over...very frustrating.

    Here is the fix:
    1. Shut down Mail.  Next, deselect "iCloud Mail" in the iCloud preferences pane in System Preferences FIRST.  If not, it will automatically pre-populate the wrong p9X.mail.me.com server names again overwriting all your work.
    2. Now restart Mail and go to preferences.  If "iCloud" mail is still showing, select it and click on the "-" at the bottom to remove it.
    3. Now follow the instructions here: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html (disregard that this is for Snow Leopard, it DOES work on Lion) paying attention to the use of the "option" key when needed to avoid Mail automatically "creating" the account and closing out the preferences window.
    4. Ensure the correct server names of "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" are still there and close Mail preferences and now select "get mail".  It may prompt one last time for your iCloud password, enter it and you are done.
    Good Luck.

  • (iOS 7) iCloud keeps asking for password when performing a backup

    Hi everyone
    since upgrading my iPad and iPhone to iOS 7, everytime the daily backup to iCloud is about to start, the password popup kicks in and I'm prompted to type it in .
    I've tried already to sign out and sign in again but still this problem is affecting me. Both iPhone and iPad share the same account
    Thank for you help

    i have htis as well. 4s ios7.
    i noticed it started after i begain playing clash of clans which is a memory intense game.
    icloud will ask for pwd at night which is when i plug in.
    it seems to still run backups as it ran last night.
    however twice now when I have it plugged in during the day and enter my icloud password i'll lose all my contacts. have to power off/power on and they eventually sync back.
    really annoying.
    i'll try quitting high mem apps before plugging in.. maybe that will help
