ICloud password and backup problem

iPad Air
8.2 iOS
Repeatedly asking for iCloud password. No pattern, just constantly.
I can verify the password by logging into iCloud itself, so I know the password is valid.
Also unable to run a backup.
If I sign out of iCloud (like it has been suggested elsewhere in this support group), delete at all prompts and sign back in -- that only means it deletes what is on the iPad itself, and iCloud will repopulate with all the deleted info (like photos) once I sign back in -- correct? Hitting delete is sort of scary, right?

Okay. signed out of iCloud. fixed the constant request for password, but now back up doesn't work because I suddenly need more room. It was fine 2 days ago before this all started and I haven't added anything to make it too large. What the heck?

  • IOS 8.3 iCloud password and backup issues

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to 8.3, I get a message every morning asking for my iCloud password, I sign in as requested.   I have tried signing out of iCloud and signing back in and that didn't help.  Today I noticed that my iCloud had not backed up since the upgrade. if you are getting a similar message I suggest you check when the last backup was done.   It appears that as the phone tries to do a backup it seems to want the password but I don't see this until the morning when I unplug the phone and as the phone is now no longer being charged it fails to conduct the backup.  My wife's 4s has a similar problem, but my iPad 2 doesn't have the same problem.  I have plenty of iAny ideas?  Is this a bug in 8.3?

    Did you try doing a backup manually - Settings/iCloud/Backup/Back Up Now ? If it needs the password, it should ask you which you can supply.  I don't seem to have this problem but will keep an eye out for it.

  • ICloud password and login problems

    I have to verify my iCloud password every day through forgot.com using the memorable questions. I updated my phone to the latest IOS and I am using Mavericks on the Mac - other than that nothing has changed. This problem has only occurred in the past two weeks, I can't believe the account is being hacked EVERY day... Anyone having the same problem?

    Hi LucHow,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    To help remedy this certainly frustrating experience where you are needing to verify your iCloud password constantly, I'd like you to please contact Apple account security in your country for support.

  • HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

    I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid.  I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account.  But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID.  How do i fix this?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  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. 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.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    First, remove your personal information from your post.  That's not needed here.  This is a public forum, and it is unwise to provide your personal data online.
    Second, here's how you reset your password and/or security questions.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.
    How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
    Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
    Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.  This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't work, or  there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
    Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.

  • Forgotten iCloud password and 2nd email

    My mum has forgotten her iCloud password and doesn't know what is other email to reset iCloud password. We hit password reset many times but got no email to continue, therefore we couldn't know which email it has been sent to.
    The big issue is
    * She has an iPhone 6, with Find my iPhone activated, she can use the phone normally, but cannot delete or deactivate the iCloud account
    * She got a new iPhone 6 Plus, restored using the old iPhone 6 backup. It results in the iPhone 6 Plus is registered with the forgotten iCloud account as well. It cannot be deleted.
    We tried many passwords with the iCloud account, results in account disabled.
    We live in Vietnam, there is no Genius Bar here. Can we email her scanned password /or mail a certified copy of her passport to Apple Support to ask for password resetting? The account is on her full name, matching Passport name. Or, can we visit a Genius Bar in Singapore or any other country, presented with her passport, to reset the iCloud account?

  • I forget icloud password and my yahoo mail is stopped

    i forget icloud password and my yahoo mail is stopped

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

    I forgot my iCloud password, and i can not reset it with email authentication, when i do it, i don't receive any mail from Apple

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
