IPhone/iCloud sign in

I recently got an iPhone 5s for work. We are in the process of switching to outlook for email. Today I have been getting a repeated sign in screen for iCloud with a generic user id for my agency, requesting the password, not accepting my userid and password to log in.

My question is how do I fix it? The only thing I can do on my phone is answer a call because the log in request repeats and will not clear. So I can't add contacts,or make a call, or check my email. I wonder if the migration to outlook could be part of the problem. I emailed tech support today, but since I was in the field I couldn't ask the local guy, and I also got no email reply. Any ideas?

Can not open iCloud on MBP? Want to PhotoShare. Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone?

Set up in iPhone. Go to System Preferences, click on iCloud, get the message "move to iCloud", sign in, click on open iCloud", sign in again, and get only FindmyPhone? Thus, when I go to Iphoto to set up photo sharing, it says I have to have icloud account-go to sys preferences--then i go through the loop again? Suggestions?

Now I have to get my sign-in for mobileme to be the same as my sign-in for Itunes, etc. so I have only one Apple ID!
You're not going to be able to: you can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
Use your ex-MobileMe email address (which is also an Apple ID) for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

I changed to a new iphone 5, but it keeps coming up with my old Apple ID FOR iCloud sign in. My Apple ID is correct for iTunes and App Store and on my ipad. The user names stays greed out on the iCloud sign in and I can't change it.

I recently changed from my old Iphone 5 to a new one. The Apple ID that comes up when signing into iCloud is my old Apple ID, yet the correct one is shown on iTunes and apps. I can't change the Apple ID to the correct one, and am unable to restore my latest back up from icloud. I have tried everything, but I can' t change the Apple ID on the phone. It stays greed out. My Apple ID is correct on my ipad and when I log into my iCloud account via the internet. How do can I fix this?

Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account?

I just bought a macbook pro and want to use my own iCloud account for my iPhone. How do I sign off of the current account on my iPhone and sign in with my own iCloud account i set up my mac?

On your phone, Go to "Settings", "iCloud", scroll to the bottom and "sign out." Assuming you have the the account password/security info of the current account, it will delete everything iCloud related upon your approval (don't worry, everything will remain in the cloud.) Once signed out, in the same settings location (under "Settings", "iCloud") sign in using your Apple ID and Password.
Hope this helps.

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

Annoying iCloud sign-in popup, blocking entire iPhone

Hello all,
Since I last rebooted my iPhone, an iCloud sign-in popup has been appearing, overlaying everything else on the iPhone. Now, I have reset my AppleID password and cannot login using it on my iPhone. This is not strange as the pop-up is so aggressive I cannot even unlock my sim-card nor configure a WLAN.
Essentially, my iPhone 5 is currently as useful as a stone.
So, does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?
Also, I am fine with completely disabling iCloud on this device, but I haven't been able to do so yet.

Ok, so what I did was to press cancel when requested to logon and get access to internet by timing the small timeslot inbetween the pop-ups and finally activating my WLAN. Once connected to the internet I could login and that of course got rid of the annoying pop-up.
Another possibility to just get rid of the pop-up is to try the wrong password three times and press "reset password/forgot password" which redirects you to a website. Once the website has loaded, the popups stops. This thus does not require one to actually login, but requires you to have an internet connection.
Anyway, nice way of getting people to login to Apple services...

Icloud sign-in hanging up on iphone...

In the process of trying to share my calendar with my wife's iPhone, I try to sign into her iCloud using her credentials and it just sits there. Anybody know why this would hang up at this point? I know it says no service on the pic, but I am connected via wifi. Thanks for the help!

iCloud sign in greyed out on iPad

IPhone 4 with iCloud sign in problem.

I have an iPhone 4 which has had issues connecting to wifi networks. It works some of the time. I guess it has been dropped a bit.
Recently it's not connecting at all, which is not normally a problem. I only use it for music, notes and phone functions.
What's happening is that it is coming up with a screen asking me to sign into iCloud. I type in the password just to get rid of the screen but, as its not connecting to a wifi network, its not going through. So I have this annoying sign in screen popping up every 5 seconds or so, literally.
I have done a soft reset. No joy.
I have tried to reset it with iTunes but iTunes tells me I have to turn off Find My Phone, which I can't as it either wont connect to the network (the network is working fine, the phone just cant see it) or the iCloud sign in keeps popping up and not allowing me to put in my password in the reset/Find My iPhone window.
In short, I have an iCloud sing in window that has turned my phone into an annoying brick.
I have done a backup yesterday, I just need (I think) some way of force resetting the entire phone without going through a sign in proceedure.
Any suggestions?

Nope. I have a phone only service.
I am currently trying a force reset. I found out, using "The Google", that I can do that by releasing the top button while doing a force restart and keeping the home button down. I have been able to reset the phone and am doing a restore now. Mind you, it won't help if that **** iCloud window pops up again....

Can I restore my desktop calendar and how do I keep everything but my phone locator and mail off? I do not want to sync my desktop with icloud except for mail.

This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.

You can't go to icloud.com using Safari on an iOS device, if that's what you're trying to do. You have to go there from your computer.

ICloud sign in won't disappear on iphone

Hello,
on my iphone5s, the iCloud sign in screen won't stop popping up, not allowing me to do anything else. I do not have email address associated with the pop up, nor do I remember that password. I can't even get into my settings to investgate because of the pop up screen.
thanks in advance

Hi teddy08,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation, do you recognize the email address showing up as an old email address or is the email address you are being prompted for completely unrecognizable to you? If you do recognize the email address, I suggest using the attached article to reset the passcode for that account. If you had a rescue email address on that account, the email to reset the password will come to that rescue address. You can also try to reset by answering the security questions on the account.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
If you are still having issues resetting the password, it may be necessary to follow the link at the bottom of the attached article and contact Apple Support.
Cheers,
Joe

HT204053 I have set up a new Icloud ID using a new email address on my I mac however my Iphone Icloud ID is still using an old email address that is no longer in use. How do I change my ICloud ID on my Iphone to that on my IMac computer. I only want 1

How do I change my Icloud ID on my Iphone to match my ICloud ID on my IMac computer? My phone has an old email address that is no longer in use. I have a new email address that I have used as my ICloud ID ( Apple ID ) on my IMac. I want to be able to send photos from my Imac to my Icloud account and see view them with my Iphone. Can you help me ?? Thanks

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.
When you do this, you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this happens, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone 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.

How do I change my iPhone iCloud account?

Dear Friends,
For security reasons, I just changed my Apple ID and PWD and am updating various subordinate accounts. My iPhone 4 is has the iCloud "locate iPhone" setting on. The iPhone will not allow me to update the iCloud account until I turn off the "locate iPhone" function. But I can/t b/c the iPhone iCloud setting still goes to my old Apple ID & PWD (now defunct) and I get an error message that my ID and PWD are incorrect for either the new or old ID and PWD. What to do??

Try changing them back and then going out. Bad idea cause when you change your password Apple recommends that you sign out of everything.

HT204053 How do I change my iPhone iCloud account to match my iPad account

How to change my iCloud account to match my iPad account.

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in using the ID you use for iCloud on your iPad.
When you delete the account, if you need to migrate the data on the phone to the other account, choose Keep on My iPhone, then sign into the other account, turn on your iCloud syncing and choose Merge to merge the data with the data already in the account.
If your data is already in the other account, choose Delete from My iPhone and just sign into the other account and turn on your iCloud syncing.
