IOS8 upgrade - sign in to iCloud

Since upgrading to iOS8 yesterday, I am regularly getting a pop up message to 'sign in to iCloud'. I have entered the password and it goes away for a while, perhaps a few minutes, before popping back up. I have searched and this was seen before with iOS7, but cannot see any new posts. It was not a problem before, and has only started since the upgrade.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Well, disregard.  After an hour of attempting to log in, changing password on desktop, and still having problems logging in to phone, it now lets me log in.  Thanks.

  • Asked to Sign-in to iCloud every time I start my Mac since upgrading to Yosemite

    Since upgrading to Yosemite every time I start my computer it goes through the normal grey screen stage and then I get to login as normal. After logging in I then get asked to sign-in to iCloud. I sign-in successfully and agree to the terms and conditions, choose to upgrade to iCloudDrive and then it says setting up my Mac, which takes about 20 seconds before the desktop displays. I'd expect this behaviour on the first reboot after installing Yosemite but it's asking me to sign-in to iCloud every time I restart and taking me through all these steps!
    I'm on iMac, Late 2012, 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB

    Just to say I never found a solution to this after hours of looking for answers and trying different things. I finally decided to take the plunge and reformat my hard drive and reinstall OS X Yosemite and now is all good on this front.

  • Cannot sign out of iCloud after updating to IOS8

    I recently upgraded my iPad Mini with Retina display to the latest IOS version 8.1.2 on 12/27/14. After doing so and restarting the iPad, it repeatedly keeps asking for an iCloud password...like every 3 seconds. The thing is, it has signed me into my wife's iCloud and not mine. I have tried to enter her password over and over and it will not accept it. I tried to reset the iPad to factory settings, but to do so it requires me to sign out of Find My iPad which requires the iCloud password, which it will not accept. I have tried to reset her password on iCloud.com but I cannot sign in, which leads me to believe that my wife has forgotten her password. So I then tried to have her password reset by selecting "iForgot" and filling out the required info to send an email verification for a password reset, but no such email ever arrives in her inbox. So basically at this point, the device continuously asks for a password that I cannot provide and to reset it to factory settings I must provide said password that i cannot provide. I have tried to reset it to factory settings through Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings AND through iTunes to no avail.
    I have tried all options on this page If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud. like has been suggested to others on other threads I have read, and nothing works.

    You must (a) verify which account was used to lock the iPad (Find My iPad), and then (b) recover the password. There is no workaround for this (except off to an Apple Store with proof of purchase, they may unlock it).

    I am trying to sign up for icloud using windows 7. When I enter my apple id it says "this is a valid apple id but is not an icloud account". Where do I create an icloud account?

    I already quoted the minimum requirements, look in the post before yours.
    You will have to upgrade your Mac to at least 10.7.5, upgrades are not free, you buy them from the App Store. Mountain Lion is the best but your Mac must be compatible.
    Here is a list of compatible machines.
    Also note that some older apps (Office 2004, Appleworks) will not run on Mountain Lion.

  • I had to change my apple ID due to someone else using it and changing the password, so now i can't sign out of icloud as the email is wrong and i dont have the password to turn off find my iphone. Help!

    Basically, someone was hacking my apple account for a while and kept changing the password so i kept resetting it, now i've had to change my email as icloud still wouldn't accept my new passwords - even after being updated. Now i can't sign out of icloud due to it being the wrong email and an unknown previous password, as i can't turn off find my phone.ipad. How do i solve this without losing everything as i can't just delete the account and the usb ports on my laptop have gone so i can't back up to my laptop. I'm running completely on icloud but desperately need it to update so i don't lose all my uni work as well off my ipad.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • HT5616 I have an apple id; but when I try to sign in to iCloud, I get the msg that the apple id is not an iCloud account.  However, apple was able to bill me for my non-existent iCloud account.  How does that happen?

    If you didn't create an iCloud account on an iOS device or Mac, you don't have one.  You can't create an account on a PC.  If you were charged for an iCloud storage upgrade without having an account, contact the Apple online store at the bottom of this page for a refund.

    This article contains the only thing that worked for me.  I also had to sign out of iCloud and uninstall it.  Then I had to delete all files and folders from all of those applications that were under Program Files, Program Files x86, Program Data and Users.  My iPhone 4 will now sync with iTunes both in its USB-connected  mini dock and over Wi-Fi.  It's unfortunate (negligent programming on the part of Apple?) that the upgrade to iTunes 11 did not remove all of those files as part of the upgrade process. 

    I am having the same issue....Same address for years - same as USPS - I tried 5 times (3 macs and 2 iPhones) and now i have 5 CHARGES for 1.00 each on my credit card. I took the credit card info off so they don't charge me anymore. How can they charge me yet still not allow me to download free updates and say I have an invalid address? I'm sure I will spend weeks or months trying to get a credit out of these incompetent idiots.

  • Unable to Sign-In to iCloud Because of an Old Account

    I just upgraded to Yosemite. My MacBook Pro asks for the password to an old iCloud account with an old email address I don't have access to and don't remember the password for. This old account is the only one my MacBook Pro recognizes and now it has been shut-down because of a "problem", probably because I tried to have the password sent to me by answering the Security Questions and it told me I got my birthday wrong. Of course, email verification goes to the old account.
    iCloud is set up fine on all iOS devices.
    How can I delete the old account and/or get my MacBook Pro to recognize the current account?

    Hello Jtfenwick, 
    It sounds like you change the Apple ID but did not sign out of your iPhone before you made the change. To resolve the issue, you need to change your Apple ID back to the old account and then sign out of iCloud to satisfy the prompt. When changing it back you your old account it will not ask to verify. Once you are done, you can change it back. For more information, take a look at the article below.

  • IBooks crashes after ios8 upgrade

    i completed the ios8 upgrade and now IBooks crashes every 5 minutes. How do I fix it or report it?

    I'm having the same problem on my iPad Air. iBooks worked fine on iOS 7, but started crashing about 3-5 minutes after launching from the moment I  installed iOS8. The crash seems to happens while iBooks is syncing with iCloud and putting my iPad in flight mode prevents it from happening. Disabling the syncing of bookmarks, notes and collections does not prevent the app from crashing. I've tried restoring my iPad using different backups(including one I made just before the upgrade to iOS 8), but the crashes keep happening.
    As this only happens on my iPad and not on my iPhone 5, where I have automatic downloads disabled, I tried disabling automatic downloads. This seemed to prevent a crash only once, but once I tried to download a book manually, the crashes started happening again. I also noticed that any book downloaded after installing iOS 8 doesn't seem to be recognised as a purchased book. If I try to delete it, I only get the "Delete" option for books(which usually only appears for books that weren't purchased from the iBooks store), while I still get both the "Delete From All Devices" and the "Delete This Copy" options for any books downloaded from the store before installing iOS 8. On my iPhone, I still get both these options for any books downloaded after installing iOS 8.
    The only thing I found is that there is a JetsamEvent log in the diagnostics & usage data screen at the exact time of each iBooks crash. Each of these listed iBooks as being the largest process. 
    I hope Apple provide a fix soon, it's a bit disappointing to have to read iBooks on my iPhone instead of the larger screen of my iPad.

  • I have 2 i4 phones.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 but never on the other.  Does anyone have the answer to this.  I have tried to change my password but I still have the same problem.  I keep getting message "Verification Failed The request timed out"

    I upgraded to 2 -  i4 phones with 2 different phone numbers.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 phone but never on the other.  I have changed my my password twice but no matter what I do, I still have the same problem.  I keep getting a message "Verification Failed The request timed out"  no matter how many times I try to sign on it always times out.  Before I upgraded to the i4, I had a i3GS and had the same exact problem.  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
    If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • Can't sign in to iCloud or iTunes Store because of "server error"
