Iphone 4s running ios 7 keeps asking to sign into icloud after update

Wife updated her 8 gig iphone 4s to IOS 7.1.2. As soon as the smoke cleared everything seemed fine until the phone started asking her to input her apple ID and password. The first few times she entered it thinking it was normal. After a few days of doing this 2-3 times a day she just hits cancel. I did a bit of research and found that it might have something to do with the limited memory on the 4s and the lack of forsight on Apple's part when developing gargantuan operating systems. Any fixes out there besides buying a new phone?

Hey willi g,
If you are getting the prompt to sign in to your previous Apple ID, then take a look at the articles below. One will give steps on signing of everything that is associated with an Apple ID and then sign back in. If you need to reset the Apple ID to the previous account, the second article will assist with that.

Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance,

MacBook Pro keeps asking to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime

My wife's MacBookPro11,3 keeps asking her to sign into iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime, non of which she uses. She keeps clicking on cancel, but they just keep popping back up, one after the other. She is using OS 10.9.3. Any suggestions how to stop this non-stop cycle? We've tried re-starting the computer, but that didn't help. I didn't see anything in preferences that I could turn off. She has just moved the pop-up window over to the edge of the screen so she can keep using the computer. Thanks.

Do you mean logging in and out of the MacBook Pro, or in and out of iCloud, iMessage, and FaceTime? I will have her try logging in and out of the MacBook Pro.
Thanks for the suggestion.

IPHONE 5 RUNNING IOS 6.1.4 WON'T LET ME UPDATE TO IOS.7

Hi, I have an iPhone 5 running IOS 6.1.4 and was wanting to update to IOS.7 wirelessly but when I go into Software Update it tells me this software is up to date and doesn't give me any option to update to IOS 7. I know the software has been released from today so was wondering why I can't update.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I feel silly now, I just looked it up and it won't be released until 6pm my time.
Thanks for your help!

HT204053 My iPhone 4 will not allow me to sign into iCloud it says there are too many accounts on this device how can I resolve it and sign in?

Please help me sign into icloud

If the message says that the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created, you won't be able to create a new iCloud account on that phone. You can sign into an existing iCloud account, but not create a new one. Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on a different iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.

Keeps asking to log into iCloud

I had to replace my iPhone last week and then restore from iCloud. All of that was fine, but since, a window frequently pops up telling my to sign into iCloud with a field to enter my password. I have entered it every time and it has seemed everything's cool after that, until the window pops up again. I've gone into settings and find no indication I'm not logged in to iCloud, plus I have not had any indication in using the phone that I'm not logged in. Everything works except for this window popping up seemingly randomly. Any ideas?

Hello _kttn,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you need the Apple ID and password. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

I keep getting a "sign into Icloud" popup that will not go away

I got a new ipad now when I try to use the old one I get a popup that says "sign in to iCloud" When I enter my login info the popup goes away but then comes back less than a second later. Its constant and rendering the ipad useless.

I keep trying to sign into my iCloud on system preferences but it keeps saying it is unable to communicate with iCloud

I keep trying to sign into iCloud on my system preferences but it keeps saying that its unable to sign in because of a problem communicationg with iCloud, and i've tried to create a new account but then it says i cant create one at this time.

Welcome to the Apple Community Abbey.
Try the following, it won't cause any problems if it it doesn't work...
Navigate to Macintosh HD > library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart the mac. Now try again.

Signing into iCloud constantly

Every time I want to send a text or an email (an any of my email accounts), I'm asked to sign into iCloud with a password. If I sign in with the correct password, it lasts until my phone screen powers down. Then the next time I want to send a text or email, I'm asked again. I can hit "Cancel" and make the pop-up screen go away...but is this correct? Why am I asked to sign in constantly? Thanks.

Same issue here, but not for texts only emails. I used to enter the password, now I just hit cancel and the email still sends just fine. I am not syncing/storing email in iCloud.

I previously was able to wirelessly ePrint to my HP Photosmart Plus e-All-In-One B210a using both my iPad & iPhone (both run IOS 5.1). For some unknown reason neither one can now print. I keep getting a message that the printer is no longer available. My MacBook continues to print ok. Any ideas?

Reboot everything. Router, printer and pad. If it used to work, it will again. It just lost itself somewhere.

HT1476 Hi, I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.4 and the phone keeps going of whenver battery level drops to 20% and it give the warning. It turns off immediately after I dismiss the warning message. I LOCKED THE PHONE AT 21% and I was able to play music

Hi, I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 7.0.4 and the phone keeps going of whenver battery level drops to 20% and it give the warning. It turns off immediately after I dismiss the warning message. I LOCKED THE PHONE AT 21% and I was able to play music to 4% which means there is no problem with the battery, this seems to be a programming error.
Earlier suggestion include that the battery has a dead cell but it wouldnt keep playing music for over 2 hours it it had a dead cell.

My issue with IOS 7.1 and higher is my Bluetooth for the phone still works...no problem but the music does not work with bluetooth...I have an Acura TSX 2010...Acura said there are no incidents reported, but me...I just upgraded to IPhone 6 and still no good....as soon as i hit the AUX button it say USB...not bluetooth...ugh

ICal calendars not syncing with iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.2
I'm using iCal on my MBP running Mac OS 10.6.4
I have a MobileMe account.
Never had an issue with calendars syncing with the iPhone previously.
I am using MobileMe Calendar Beta. This now displays my calendars in iCal under my MobileMe account name (eg. [email protected]) rather than the 'On My Mac' section that it use to.
I have five separate calendars in iCal on the Mac all named appropriately (eg. Work, Personal etc.) and all that appears on the iPhone is one calendar named 'Calendar' with no events in it??
I've used MobileMe (.Mac) and iPhone syncing for years and have them set up as I always have.
Does anyone have the same issues? Does anyone have any constructive advise?
Thanks
Jeff

I have had about 9 iOS devices at work do this.
The fix and it will wipe out anything on your iphone is to connect it to your computer and have the latest version on iTunes open. Hold the Power/Sleep and Home button till it blanks out. Keep holding the home button untill it says recovery mode on the screen of the computer and do a restore.
