Icloud password popup

I keep getting an iCloud Password popup asking me to enter my password.  Entering the password and hitting login causes the popup to go away and immediately reopen.  Hitting cancel does the same thing.  How do I make this popup go away?

Try deleting the iCloud password from Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access. Run Keychain Fist Aid while you are there.

  • How to kill iCloud password popup on Mac start up?

    iCloud password is asked every time I reboot my mac. Can't turn it off. It makes me crazy! How to kill this popup? MacBook Pro Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 (14C109)

    Good Afternoon vonnavi,
    If you are repeatedly being asked to enter your iCloud password on your Mac, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203512
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click “Manage your Apple ID,” and try to sign in with your Apple ID. If you are unable to sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.
    I receive a “failed user name or password” alert when attempting to sign in at iCloud.com, in iCloud preferences (Mac), or in the iCloud Control Panel (PC).
    Make sure that you're entering your entire Apple ID when you sign in (for example, if your Apple ID is [email protected], make sure that you aren't trying to sign in with just “username”).
    Verify that the Caps Lock key is not enabled. All passwords are case sensitive.
    Make sure that you're using the correct iCloud-associated Apple ID and not a different Apple ID used for other services. For more information about having more than one Apple ID, refer to Using your Apple ID for Apple services.
    If needed, reset your Apple ID password at iforgot.apple.com.
    If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do for other Apple Services, (for example, Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, or Mac App Store), changing your iCloud account password also changes your password for the other Apple services. Make sure that you sign in to those services using your new password. Also, be sure to update your Apple ID password on all of your devices and computers that may use your Apple ID (such as any email applications that you use to receive iCloud email).
    I can't sign in to iCloud on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
    If you can't sign in due to the alert “Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account”:
    Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
    If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
    If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
    Hope this helps ...
    - Judy

  • Mac shows iCloud password popup every boot.

    I get this popup window every boot.
    Why does that window show up?
    and How can I fixed it?
    +
    I reinstalled OS X 10.9.3 today.
    Before reinstalling, I didn't see that window.

    You are  not alone.
    This needs an Apple iCloud Guru to clarify & solve.
    This first showed up for me in Mavericks 10.9.3, and was not fixed in 10.9.4. Neither was a beta version. Updating to a later version of the OS also fails to resolve this suggesting that perhaps it is the iCloud authentication server that is broke -AGAIN!
    Unfortunately the Apple helpdesk knows nothing of this issue, or are trying to keep lit under wraps.
    My guess is that some of the downloads from Software Update are in fact experimental builds, Noting that is some countries Apple is playing with two factor authentication, perhaps we have been hit by a build that is trying out an alternative authentication method, that simply keeps failing. Though perhaps it is geolocation triggered, as doing a clean install achieves no improvement.
    ICloud, which I prefer to call iClod still has bugs, but unfortunately those best able to fault find the authentication system are not available to users, so getting this bug fixed will involve further contributions from more clued up users.
    Unfortunately it seems that the failure manifests in several ways, with at least 3 different, but cryptic seemingly random dialogue boxes appearing in response to entered passwords, and also no apparent response at all, i.e., no change.
    What is odd is that one can be successfully signed in to iCoud, able to manage ones account, but unable to successfully verify ones password in the preference pane. Looking deeper in the console loads there is reference to a file not being able to be written. So is this a permissions issue, or is the preferences file to be written missing from the bundle from the iCloud bundle.
    And even more oddly when one intentionally enters an incorrect password in the password verification dialogue, iCloud seems to correctly identify it as an incorrect password, suggesting that iCloud recognises a correct password but then fails to complete the verification transaction.
    Note this iCloud preference pane userID password verification process is not documented anywhere that I have been able to discover. Is it another inadvertent FEATURE of OS X that was mostly deprecated because it did't work as expected?
    One day Apple will wake up and instigate a dedicated iCloud help call centre tasked to ensure that all users have access to this service which has become intrinsic to ownership and use of a Mac.

  • IOs 8.1 Mail app keeps asking for iCloud password

    Since the update to iOs 8.1 i have a problem with my mailbox.
    Every time i want to create a new mail, it asks me for my iCloud password.
    This happens on my iPhone (6) and iPad (Air) while im in my iCloud inbox, Gmail inbox, or just the general overview.
    Whenever i press the create new mail icon it will ask for my iCloud password.
    - When i give the iCloud password (correct one) it wont ask for it again in the next 15 mins
    - When i dont give the iCloud password (cancel) i can just send mails but it will ask for the password whenever i create a new mail.
    What i did:
    - Remove iCloud account > reboot > Add iCloud account > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove Keychain  > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud photo's > didnt solve the problem
    - Remove iCloud mail > still asks for the iCloud password.
    - Remove iCloud > solves the problem but i dont want to remove iCloud
    - Disabled all iCloud options, (mail, contacts, etc) > didnt solve the problem
    - Disabled 2 step verification > didnt solve the problem
    Everytime i want to create a new mail, u see the phone/pad use the "syncing icon" 3x 5 seconds, maybe a link here?
    Anyone else with any ideas that i can try?

    That's interesting that it didn't start to happen after a while on your work iPad. I just tried my iPad this evening and I'm getting the same iCloud password popup message when I try to create a new mail or enable "Contacts Only' in Airdrop.
    I still think it's a problem with our iCloud accounts. Some flag in the system isn't set or something for some reason. I don't even have mail switched on in my iCloud account so there is no valid reason why Mail.app would try and authenticate to iCloud just because we create a new email.
    Signing out of iCloud fixes the issue for me (not that it's a valid long term solution) so that points the finger directly at a setting on my server side iCloud account I think.

  • How Do I Reset Keychain and Get Rid of All the Password Popups?

    I was away four a few weeks and just before doing so I had reset my user password? When I returned I couldn't remember it, so I had to reset it in recovery mode. After doing this and booting up I'm getting oodles of prompts to enter my Keychain Login which I do not know, so I do reset which doesn't take. Mail also asks for all my mail accounts passwords which I enter and do not take either.
    How can I clear all the Keychain info and start from scratch before I pull all my hair out?
    Lastly, I do not backup Keychain to iCloud.
    OS 10.9.4

    I talked to Apple Technical Support last night about it.  What caused mine to start popping up was that I changed my settings and created a login password for my computer.  It must not have been the same password as my keychain password so keychain password popups started.  Technical support had me reset keychain with the login required for my computer and now I don't have popups anymore.
    If you have AppleCare on your computer that is current, you can call technical support with any issues and they'll gladly walk you through your Mac troubles.

  • Ipad asks for icloud password

    Ipad mini on Power on asks for iCloud password

    To clarify this issue:
    I do have a different (few years old) Apple ID and created new iCloud ID when I purchased this iPad mini. My passwords for Apple ID and iCloud are different. Ipad asks for Apple ID whenever I want to purches any new App or music what seams to be correct.
    iCloud Photo Stream works fine on PC as well as on iPad.
    After Power on my iPad mini I have a popup asking for iCloud password. Regardles if I  enter my pass or just click "Cancel" it goes away and everything including iCloud and iCloud email works fine. When there is no WiFi available It cannot verify entered password anyway and is keep asking until I click Cancel.
    Process of pressing and holding Home button and Power button didn't change asking for password.
    I went to Settings->iCloud->Delete Account and deleted it opting for remove and merge and leter I Signed to iCloud again. No change..
    I chatted with Apple and they suggested to reset WiFi somewhere in Settings->General----..
    This solved the problem for few hours. What I mean when I tried Power off and then Power on again while chatting with Apple the iPad didn't ask for password. After an hour or so it asked again and now is keep asking for iCloud password on power on again although not every time. It has nothing to do with WiFi because it did the same while I was connected to a few different WiFis or not connected at all. Since entering the iCloud password or Cancel does not make any difference until I power it off it means there is a bug somewhere in the Apple's software.
    I do not have many Apps installed and in a mean time I removed King Photo because it was failing sometimes.
    I'll chat with Apple again as soon as I have at least one hour free time during work hours.

  • ICloud password request comes on screen and won't cancel or allow log in. other issues before this included flashing screen, safari help line invitation and redirected searches. have done safe reboots with mixed success.

    had a new drive installed on my MacBook Pro and since then some problems have come up. at first i'd get redirects on my searches that would often lead to a popup stating Safari had a security issue and I should call a certain number.  I guessed that to be Bull and tried to correct the problem myself. Numerous safe boots would clear it for a use or two then back to the redirects again. Now the iCloud password request comes on after startup. it offers two options, cancel or log in. Neither goes anywhere. Is my next option only take in for a service call?

    You might have to enter the password a few times before the prompts stop. If you don't actually use iCloud, sign out of it in the iCloud preference pane.

  • ICloud password not accepted after start Yosemite

    Since a few weeks I have the following issue on my MacBook, running the latest OSx version: After starting the laptop I am asked to choose a user to unlock my hard disk (FileVault). My password is accepted. A few seconds after the desktop is shown, OSx asks my password for my iCloud account. When I enter my password, the popup screen to fill out the password keeps returning. Like it is not accepting my password. When I press Cancel, the popup screen disappears and I can work without any trouble.
    Entering my iCloud password on e.g. the iCloud site or when installing an application is going ok. I am using the same iCloud account on my macbook, iPad and iPhone. On the iPad and iPhone I don't experience any problems.
    How can I find out which application is asking for my iCloud account or (even better) how can I solve this problem??
    I already did a password change hoping that this would solve any syncing problems. Unfortunately this didn't help.
    Anyone?????????

    I have this too. I had it for Facetime, but I logged out of it, but to log out of icloud i need to go into System Preferences, but it crashes every time i click on the Icloud icon. But only crashes for Icloud, everything else works fine.

  • TS3376 if I change my iCloud password it will log me out of "find my Mac" on a lost device?

    My laptop was stolen. I do not want the thief having access to my notes, email, and other iCloud info. From my understanding, if I change my iCloud password it will log me out of those accounts. But my question is: will "find my Mac" no longer work since I'm logging out?

    It does not log out of all of devices, but when the user tries to use an app that is tied to your ID, it will sync with immediately sync to the Cloud, since you have a new password, a message popup will appear asking for the new one. But before that the lock from Find My iPhone will leave the phone unusable.
    I'm explaining this because if the user who stole your iPhone and “is not connected” to wi-fi, a computer or using cellular data, there's no way to send that request until the device is requesting data from iCloud.

  • My iPhone keeps asking me to enter my iCloud password, Why?

    Almost every time I enter the mail app, and randomly throughout the day, my iPhone keeps popping this box up asking for me to enter my iCloud password. I enter it and it goes away. I know the password I'm entering is correct, but, my question is - why is this happening? I've had every iPhone ever made and just recently bought the 6 Plus and this is the first time ever I've encountered the issue. Any help on getting this annoying popup to stop is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Try signing out of the acount comletely and then signing back in again. If it doesn't help and you have more devices, sign out everywhere and try again.

  • How to change iCloud password on a remote Mac?

    I use iCloud and Back To My Mac (BTMM) to access some of the computers I have overseas. Everything was fine up until yesterday when I had to change my iCloud password. I now have lost access via BTMM to those remote computers as they need to have the iCloud password updated in the iCloud panel in their System Preference (and the Back to My Mac option has to be disabled/re-enabled to have it restarted).
    I have remote SSH access to those remote Macs (all running Lion and in one case Snow Leopard), so I have a working SSH shell on them. But I cannot figure out how to update the iCloud password that is stored on those Mac via command line. I can reboot them if needed of course remotely, I'd just need to update the password used for the iCloud services...
    Having someone walk to those Macs, login with my account and have them enter the password for me is not really an option, as to do that I'd have to give them both my Mac's account password and my new iCloud password, which is not going to happen :-) In addition, some of the Macs are used by my parents and in-laws, with their computer skill being limited to knowing how to open Safari and the Mail app. They wouldn't be able to help in anything technical.
    So... is there another solution other than buying a plane ticket to go overseas and do it myself?

    In case anyone wonders, I was finally able to update my iCloud password ont he remote computer. The key was SSH.
    Issue this command to connect via SSH to the remote Mac:
    ssh remote_computer -L 5800:127.0.0.1:5900
    This forwards all traffic from port 5800 on your Mac to port 5900 (the VNC/Screen Sharing port...) on the remote Mac.
    Then open the Screen Sharing app from your Mac. From there, connect to:
    localhost:5800
    This will actually connect you to the remote Mac, even though your iCloud password is wrong on the remote Mac. Now you have GUI access and you can login into your account remotely and update the iCloud password on the System Preferences on the remote Mac.

  • HT5624 for some reason my icloud password is different to my apple id can I make them the same ?

  • Apple ID and iCloud Passwords are Not the Same

    iCloud uses a different password to login than my Apple ID which I use for iTunes and everything else I do with Apple. Can I change my iCloud password to match my Apple/iTunes ID or will that cause problems like those I've seen noted on forums? OR, is it a good idea to keep the passwords different since my Apple & iTunes ID is connected to my credit card?
    Note in Case this Applies: I am running iTunes 11.1 on my MacPro in OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and will upgrade to Mountain Lion in October and then Mavericks when it arrives (if stable). I am about to install iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s (64G) and iPad 4 (32G).

    Can I jump onto this discussion with a similar problem.
    I updated the OS on iPhone 5 and Ipad to get the latest security updates. Since then I cannot access my icloud account. I have tried changing the password and get to the point were I am sent a verification email and advised to;
    "Check your email and look for a verification email from Apple. Click on the Verify Now link and sign in with your new Apple ID and password". Unfortunately there is no "verify now link"
    Consequently I can no longer access my account. Any ideas?!
