ICloud password in iPhone Settings keeps defaulting to wrong password

My iCloud password is 10 characters long; in Settings > iCloud on my iPhone the password shown is 8 characters. I have to manually change it to the correct password to get iCloud updates (which works fine). The password then defaults to the 8-character version which does NOT allow automatic updates. I've deleted the account on my iPhone then signed in again using the 10-character password but the same thing keeps happening. Any idea what's going on here?

Where do you recreate the account?  Why when I try to delete the icloud and also off the phone do I get an message asking me for the same password it won't take to turn off "find my iphone" ( which i am not trying to do, but don't care either way at the moment)  I just want to get the doggone icloud off my phone. Can you help?

  • Missing iCloud icon on iPhone settings

    There is no iCloud icon in my iPhone settings.  I have an iCloud account that works on my computer and iPad.  Help.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The icon you have described is where you should login to your iCloud account. If you say that your iCloud details are not correctly entered into this area, then I suspect that your mail is not set up correctly and will shortly stop working. How did you go about migrating from MobileMe to iCloud.

  • Settings keep defaulting

    Hi I have a 5140i(less than a year old)and for the past month or more the phone keeps re-setting the display back to the default setting (screen saver wallpaper and colour scheme resets). It seems to happen more if i lose network coverage. Any ideas as to what's happening and how i can prevent it recurring.I don't want to bring it to the dealer if i can avoid it coz i don't wanna lose the games,tones etc i've spent my hard earned cash on. All help appreciated. Giggsy

    If its defaulting back to its original setting i assume the handset is not merging with what themes etc you may have downloaded.
    It also may be a result of dust etc in the connections.
    If this issue persists you may not have any other choice than taking it in to a nokia repair centre.
    And yes you would lose downloaded data if a firmware flash is done. it may not need it if its just dust tho.
    Its either that or accept the default settings the handsets prefers... lol

  • TS3992 I have changed my Apple ID.  How do I change it on my icloud account.  It just keeps defaulting to the old Apple ID #.

    I have changed my Apple Id, how do I change it on my icloud account?  It just defaults to the old id.

    Did you change the email address of your existing Apple ID, or did you create a totally new Apple ID? Assuming that you did it correctly and just changed the email address on your Apple ID, go to Settings/iCloud and turn off Find my iPhone. You will need the passcode for the OLD email address to do this. Then log out of iCloud on the phone. Log in with the changed address. Do the same for Settings/messages, Settings/Facetime and Settings/iTunes&App Store.

  • HT4759 In trying to renew iCloud on my iphone I keep getting the response that the security code of my credit card is incorrect. Can you help me with this?

    I have tried to renew my icloud subscription on my iphone. I have been unsuccessful after several attempts. The last time the reason give was that the security code of my credit card is incorrect. It is the number. Can you help?

    Have you tried checking your payment information details to make sure the CVV (security) code is correct (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918)?

  • Why when I try to access icloud on my iphone does it tell me wrong username or password

    I can go to Itunes and log in using the same username and password but icloud still tells me that my username and password are wrong. I have changed my password several times thinking that maybe I have done something wrong and I still get the same message. Why is that?

    I am having the same issue. Not syncing mail as a result.

  • International iPhone Settings - keeping costs low?

    Here's the scenario: I'm going to Italy and want to keep my connection costs to a minimum. I want to use Skype/wifi for phone calls, and also keep my phone's cell connection active in case my kids need to call in an emergency. But otherwise I don't want to make cellular calls due to cost.
    I think the only thing I need to do is set Data Roaming to off. Is this correct?
    Also - If I'm at a wifi hot spot, how do I know the phone will connect to wifi and not some rouge cellular network?

    Check out http://www.line2.com
    Been using it and love it. Allowed me to port in another phone number to my iPhone, so now I have 2 numbers on my single iphone4. First 30 days are free, then $9.95/mo for unlimited use. Works over WiFi and doesn't use your cell minutes. I used it a few months ago while traveling out of US and liked it so much.
    Just a happy customer

    Is Find My Phone turned on?
    You'll have to login to iCloud.com, from any computer, locate, then erase your phone. Once done, restore from backup, if you have one.
    That's the only way for you to fix this.

  • HT4528 My Verizon iPhone 5 keeps showing the wrong time, I reset it and then it happens again later in the day.

    For the past few weeks, my Verizon iPhone 5 randomly changes the time to some odd time (like when it is 1:30pm, my phone will switch to 2:08am). I go into settings and date and time, I turn "set automatically" to off then on again. The time resets and all is well for a while and then it usually happens again later. I wonder if it has anything to do with verizon's network. I seem to notice it happen when I go into areas that have no 3g or LTE service and the phone has that "o" setting for the internet. Could it be a network error issue?

    If "Automatic" is on it probably has everything to do with Verizon. Try turning "automatic" off. If that fixes the problem it's Verizon. If it doesn't fix the problem it's likely a hardware problem in your phone.

  • FF keeps defaulting to the wrong HTTP proxy server and port. I have to change it every time I attempt to open Firefox? How do I change it for good?

    The manual proxy settings keep defaulting to the wrong HTTP and port. This has caused me many hours of anguish. It works fine when I correct the settings but after you log off and then come back it has to be changed again. Is there anyway to fix it? Or can I go back to the previous version because 4 definitely has some issues (other than this one). I could live with it if I had to but I'm not the only one who uses this computer and they don't know how to make the changes. Thanks and I would definitely appreciate an answer.

  • ICloud on iPhone suddenly keeps forgetting my password (and other sync issues)

    All of a sudden iCloud on my iPhone keeps forgetting my password. Sometimes I'll enter it, everything will seem to be fine and moments later it will prompt me to renter my password. This is extremely frustrating and has happened seemingly out of nowhere. I haven't been tinkering with setting or anything like that.
    I'll often be prompted to enter my iCloud password when doing things that have nothing to do with iCloud either.
    Another strange thing is that Notes, for example, still syncs correctly but all my reminders are gone. My iPhone calendar is blank now too. All of the apps are turned on in the iPhone settings. Everything on my computer is there, as well as on iCloud.com.
    I'm really baffled as to why this is happening all of a sudden. Could the problem be on Apple's end?
    This is happening at a really inconvenient time as I'm about to do a lot of traveling and will only have my iPhone with me during this time.
    I'd appreciate any possible solutions because I'm about to lose my mind.

    Sounds like you are not using icloud, but sync.me app. Why don't you check their support page and their FAQ.

  • HT204053 how come i was upgraded iso6 on my iPhone, but now I couldn't link up to iCloud, it keeps asking my icloud password then failed login. But my iPad upgraded it works!! how to solve my iPhone using iCloud?

    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/).

  • On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:
