IOS 7.1.2 permanently iCloud password request, iMessage issue

I have an iPhone 4S. Since the last update the phone requested my Apple-ID-Password 3-6 times a day. A few days ago the phone deactivated the iCloud sync an deleted my contacts, calendar etc. An other day it deactivated iMessage. I have to activate iMessage and FaceTime about 1 time a week. Sometimes it starts a new conversation with my phone number, although my apple id is selected.Not to mention game center. sometimes i can reach it, sometimes not.
My boyfriend has the same problem.
I already deleted my account and reinstalled it. I did the same with the iTunes and Game-Center account. In this moment I'm trying to reset the phone, but now I have some trouble with the download. The whole thing totally drives me crazy.

What is your question? There is no question here.

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 request on imac

Hi Folks,
I am trying to help my 90 year old father and having difficulty figuring out how to stop these pesky iCloud "Password Requests" that pop up whenever he goes to his computer.
I have gone into his Sys Pref > iCloud and un-checked all the boxes = still getting message to enter password.
Have read about a dozen threads on Apple Support forums, to no avail. Quite a few folks are upset with this dilemna.
He has a new iMac, MavericksOS, used to use Mac.com but has discarded that email and the whole account.
Please...can someone out there point me in the right direction? He calls me every few days about this and frankly is driving me a bit bananas. I have tried to tell him to just "ignore" these requests and get on with using his computer, but being that he is 90 and forgetful, he never remembers me giving him this advice.
Thank you for any and all responses and help.
Adam

Finder -> Go -> Hold down the Option Key (ALT) -> Select Library -> Open the Preferences folder -> Move the file 'com.apple.systempreferences.plist' to the desktop -> Restart your iMac

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 request at start-up

During the past week or so, I've noticed a persistent request panel that appears during startup and asks for my iCloud password. I've never seen this request before. The first time it happened, it was accompanied by several other password requests for Apple related items. Now it only asks for the iCloud password. Is this a new security feature?

No, it shouldn't be doing that. If this is happening on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac). See if that stops the prompts for your password.

ICloud password request at startup or restart

When starting or restarting Mac OS X 10.9.4, I get a dialogue requesting the iCloud password. Whether I answer the question or not, it does not matter. I must click on a response, Cancel or Login, to make the dialogue go away.
What new "feature" causes this bizarre behavior? So far, Mavericks has only created problems (esp. handling of external hard drives), and fixed nothing.

Check that the name of the computer has not changed in the Sharing preference pane.

ICloud password requested all the time

Good morning,
From 2 weeks now, my iPhone doesn't stop asking my iCloud password every 10 minutes. When I enter it, nothing happens, no warning, nothing.
And I realized that I was disconnected from my iCloud from 2 weeks, so no iPhone backups and no picture backups... And my shared photostreams (flux de photos in french, I'm not sure of the english word) are no longer updated.
Curiously, that same password is still working when I want to download an App or access to iTunes... And more curiously, iCloud and shared photos are still working on my Macbook Air...
What can I do, except enter that password again and again, hoping it'll work some day?
Thanks for your help,
Oliver

I have the same problem because I changed the email address associated with my iTunes (Apple ID) account from my work email to my personal email. Later I created a work Apple ID using the email address that USED to be on my Apple ID. All was fine until my phone and iPad started asking me to sign in. All it showed was the old (work email address). I tried to delete/log out of Cloud so I could sign back in with the correct account, but it needs a password for the work email (old) version of Cloud. I tried the password I used to use with that email. No go. Then the new password used with the Apple ID that's now associated with that device. No go. Then the NEW password that's associated with the work Apple ID that uses the work email address it's prompting me for. Still no go.
Apple support was not helpful, said I had to call them from home so they could get onto my home computer. There MUST be a way of fixing this now (at work, with both iPad and iPhone).
Thanks.

ICloud password request on MacBook startup ???

On startup or wake-up, my MacBook Pro asks for Password twice and recently started to ask for my iCloud/apple id password. Suspecting some sort of phishing scam, I cancel out of the iCloud request and continue without further issues. Any comments explaining this would be appreciated.

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 and email issue

On my iphone 4s it shows my old address on the cloud, but i do not know the password and i cannot figure out how to get it. I have a new email address that I use for my apple id. How do i change my icloud email?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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.

My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks.

Hopefully this will me get you back up.

How to stop iPhone 4 from continually requesting iCloud password, when plugged in?

Yes, how do I stop iPhone 4, iOS 7.1, Verizon carrier, from requesting iCloud password continually, when plugged in? It has done this with other updates. How do I make it stop, please?

Turn phone off, then back on. Thank you, me, for finding that post. iPhone 6, please!

I had to change e-mail addresses and no longer remember my iCloud password for my old iTunes account. My iOS wont let me delete the old account without the password, how can I troubleshoot this? I tried my new password with no luck

I had my iTunes account synced with an old e-mail account. I no longer remeber my password for this account and no longer have access to this e-mail account. I was able to change my information to a new e-mail in iTunes and iCloud with no trouble but my iOS device keeps asking me for the password to my old iTunes account which I can't remember. It defaults the e-mail reset password to the account I can no longer access and also says the date of birth I am entering does not match the records they have... I'm so confused, and I really dont get how my birthday is wrong? When trying to delete the account all together from iOS it asks again for the password...can anyone help me? Thanks!

Is your phone still signed in with your old iTues ID for iCloud (in Settings>iCloud)?

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.

IOS 6.1 on iPhone 5: multiple Apple ID password requests on restart

After installing iOS 6.1 on my iPhone 5 and restarting the iPhone, I was besieged with requests to enter my Apple ID password...6 in a row, one after another. After things calmed down, I turned off the iPhone completely and turned it on again to see what would happen, and got another 6 password requests. This onslaught of requests does not happen on my other two iOS devices, an iPad 2 and a 3rd generation iPad, but it happens every time I power down (not sleep, but power down) and then restart the iPhone.

No. You must sign in with your Apple iD.

After updating to iOS 8, iCloud password doesn't work (iPad)

I posted this to the iPad forum as well but upon poking around here this seems like it might be the most likely forum to get an answer.
My primary email address is my icloud.com address. (Actually it is my old mac.com address, which, as you probably know, is now just an alias for icloud.com -- same thing for people who use me.com email addresses).
After updating my iPad Mini 2 from iOS 7 to iOS 8.2 today, it seems that it will not accept my iCloud password.
When I went through the initial setup of the device after upgrading to iOS 8.2, there didn't seem to be any problem. But once the iPad was in everyday working mode, it continually asks me for the iCloud password whenever I do anything iCloud related on the device. I have entered the password at least 40 times and it just pops back up a second later challenging me for the password again.
This password is working fine on my iPhone and iMac, so it isn't that I've forgotten the password or something...
Any ideas what is going on?

I have the same problem,
just updated my 5s to 8.2 and neither iphone nor ipad are accepting the password.
i reset the password twice but nothing change.
i am not able to:
access App store
Access I-tunes
Access i-cloud
Buy from app store
or install from app store.
when i am triing to install a free aps it told me ottieni, then install when i press install it says ottieni again. bot on iphone and ipad2.
Moreover I have full access to i-cloud and itunes store via browser on pc with the same user id and password.
