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

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 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.

HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?

You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

Hi,
In Keychain Access app in the Menu for the App is Keychain First Aid.
If you open this is the tick box for Synchronising the Login password with the so called Login Keychain ticked ?

HT204053 How do I log into iCloud to see what I have stored on it and how do I change my password if I forgot it?

When I first got my iPad mini for Christmas I didn't think that I set up an iCloud account. When I go to iCloud in my settings it says that I have stuff in an iCloud account. How do I find out if I have an iCloud account and how would I get a new password or reset the password. Also, how do log into log into iCloud to see what I have in storage. Thanks.... if you need to contact me about this matter. I have an iPad mini.
<Email Edited by Host>

You aren't addressing Apple here. This is a user forum and you shouldn't post personal information here such as your email address. I've asked the host to remove it.
As for your question, go to Settings>iCloud and write down the email address shown next to "Account". That's your iCloud ID. Then, if you can't remember the password for the ID, go here to reset it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36. Once you have the new password, you can go to icloud.com from your computer and sign into to see some of the data you are syncing with iCloud. If you are syncing your iPad with iCloud, this data is on your iPad too. You are syncing the data that you have set to On in Settings>iCloud.

HT5625 I reset my password, but it still won't let me log into iCloud. I have not ever been able to sign up for it, I don't have the original email to do so. Please help.

I have not been able to log into icloud, nor set it up. It keeps telling me to check my email to set up. There is nothing from apple/icloud there. How do I get another email so I can set it up? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Please check your inbox again and also the spam/junk folder.

HT204053 Can I log into iCloud with an alias email?

Noob here, did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer. (or I didnt look hard enough. ) So aplogies if these have already been asked before.
I want to change my iCloud email address, but I've searched around here and read that you can't change it once you create it and link it to your apple ID. So, I created an alias and was wondering if you could log into iCloud with an alias email?
For example if my iCloud address is [email protected] and my alias was [email protected], could I go to icloud.com and login using [email protected]?
Also, what are the proper steps to get the alias email to behave like the icloud primary email;I stupidly chose a dumb icloud email address and regret it, and if I set the alias to be the only email to be able to send mail in my iphone and macbook, can I basically ignore the primary icloud email and use the alias the whole time to send and compose mail?
Also, I don't necessarily need to know/use the primary icloud email, since I use my apple ID to log into icloud.com?
From what I understand, the primary icloud that is linked to your apple ID is mail server, right? I'm not really sure, to be honest.
Thanks!

In the Mail application on your Mac, add the aliases, separated by commas, to the 'Email address' field in Preferences>Accounts>General. They will then appear in the drop-down menu for the 'From' address in the New message pane.
They already appear in the equivalent place in the new message pane at icloud.com.

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

I want to log into icloud

I want to log into icloud using my new email address but it won't let me delete the old email address because it asks for a password to switch off find my i-phone. As this email address no longer exists as I have changed it on my laptop I have no password to switch it off. I can't accept the terms and conditions either beacuse its says 'unable to connect to server'
Any Advise please?

Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. Then log in using a different ID.
Let us know if this doesn't work.

Cannot log into Icloud on my pc

I cannot log into Icloud with my pc I keep getting the error message :
Icloud encounter an error while trying to connect with the server.

Been looking for similar posts, surprised I haven't found more, because I'm fairly certain that there is a current problem with some parts of Apple's server network: I have 3 iCloud accounts in Mail on my Macbook, and 1 of them (annoyingly, my main one) has not been able to connect for an hour or two. And both of the others wouldn't connect for a few minutes, but are now working again.
More suprising is that trying to log in to webmail (www.icloud.com) is giving a very unhelpful error message, suggesting the server is down. Everything else Internet is working fine for me, and haven't changed any settings, so fairly sure problem is Apple's end.
It's possible that your iPhone is collecting your mail via a different server route that is still working; my three iCloud accounts are collecting via p02.imap.mail.me.com, p09.imap.mail.me.com and p99.imap.mail.me.com, and it's only p02 that's consistantly not working.

My Apple TV 6.1.1 is logged into iCloud but says it's not when I try to log into using Photo Stream as my screen saver. Any ideas?

When I select Photo Stream as my screen saver, it prompts me for the password. Despite the password working for logging into iCloud and iTunes Music Store, it always says it's incorrect for Photo Stream. Help!

Eric,
None of this has worked.
My Apple ID and password work with everything else. I have a good Internet connection. No Firewall active from my IMac.
LIke I said, I haven't installed anything recently and FaceTime ver. 1.0.5 on OS X 10.6.8 was working fine prior to yesterday.
I restarted my IMac to run Mavericks and FaceTime 3.0 under OS X 10.9.4 is working and I was able to login and use FaceTime on Mavericks with no problem.
For some unknown reason FaceTime on IOS and on my Mac were asking me to login into FaceTime when I haven't had to do this for quite sometime.
Older FaceTime 1.0.5 all of a sudden has decided to be a problem with login on my IMac under Snow Leopard.
The only thing left I am going to try is the two-step Apple ID verification process where I can use a app specific password, but Apple makes you wait three days before completing the two-step verification.
If this doesn't work, then I do not know what will solve this issue and now I made my Apple ID login process more complicated than I really wanted it to be.
I purposely stayed away from using the two-step ID verification login.
