Random Apple ID login request when using iCloud from new phone

Please help. I have logged onto my Apple ID in the set up on my iPhone 5s to restore back up from my 4s from iCloud. After I select a backup to use it asks me to enter a password for a different Apple ID that is not mine, I have never heard of and do not have the password for. I've checked and double-checked and I can't see that it is my error or a previous login etc. What can I do? Many thanks

Sorted now- please ignore

  • HT4759 Is it possible to open icloud from any phone browser?

    Nowadays our smart phones has replaced our PC. So is it possible to use iCloud from any phone browser, better than running to find a PC which's not always close by, to find or retrieve our lost/stolen device.

    You can access your data on icloud using the various apps on an iOS device.  There's no need to use a mobile browser to access icloud.com unless a friend is using your device to check his/her data - that's the one negative to the system.
    As for a lost device, download the Find My iPhone app to your device.  This is used on iOS to track devices.

    settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.  After it is done, you will have the option to restore from backup - choose your icloud backup.

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • When using iCloud: If I have purchased a CD at a shop, and I sync it to my iTunes account on my laptop, will it automatically appear on my iPod Touch, or will I have to connect it to my laptop with a cable?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have to connect the iPod to the PC and sync it to get the songs in the device. You will only get your music in your iPod automatically if you have purchased your songs in the iTunes Store and Automatic Downloads are enabled in your iPod

  • Why does my calendar "lose " entries when using iCloud?

    My calendar "loses" entries when using iCloud.
    How do I fix and or prevent that?

    I have the same issue, both with calendar entries and contacts. as a freelance musician, I can't afford to lose data (can anyone?) 
    As an apple user, I would like to see this problem actually addressed and answered, instead of being dismissed or ignored.

  • Database login windows when using DataSet ( CR2008 )

    After executing this code, I get a database login window when using a DataSet, wondering why I am asked for user/pwd when using DataSets.

    Thanks Jonathan for the tip. I tried it before and after the setDatabaseLogin call yesterday, but got the same results. I'm still going to follow your suggestion because that makes more sense.
    Turns out it was the configuration of my ODBC/System DSN that was causing the problem. I reconfigured the System DSN by clearing the check box to provide username/password and now I don't get the Database Login anymore.
    I found a different blog post that answered the OLE DB issue I was seeing where the DatabaseName was coming up blank:
    Login Error Database at Runtime
    Haven't tried it yet and probably won't because I got the Viewer to work with ODBC the way I like it.
    Thanks for the help!

  • How do I resolve "Error processing your request", when using Download link in My Orders (photoshop 5

    How do I resolve "error processing your request" when using the download link in My Orders for photoshop 5

    As Jeff already hinted at, try a different browser. Such issues almost always are local problems on your end. Something is either changing or blocking the HTTP headers used for forwarding (could be your router, a desktop firewall or other security tools) or a JavaScript is not running/ being blocked.

  • TS3999 When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple.  Help!

    File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

  • Why do I get a stall every few minutes with a "Pages unresponsive" error frame when using iCloud e-Mail?

    Friends:  Has anyone heard or seen a suggestion from any source on how to eliminate the several minute stall every several minutes when using iCloud E-Mail through any browser (Safari, IE-11, Chrome) on any Microsoft OS (WIN-8.1, WIN-7-SP1, WIN-XP)?  I've seen several other folks express frustration but have seen no actionable replies.
    Thanks,  George

    Absolutely no one posted a reply or suggestion in over a month.  Not even one.  So, I'm abandoning this query.
    If someone in posterity sees this post, please don't reply because it will not be monitored.
    Thanks anyway - GeorgeIP

    Hi,
    Just wanted to say I found out the answer. I should have looked first to see if anyone else was having the same problem but I didn't. 

  • I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

    I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5.  I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other.  What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc.  What is the procedure and step by step action?  The new phone arrives - then what?

    When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

    Hi, I have recently upgraded from and Iphone 4 to 5.  I completed a back up on my iphone 4 via icloud which went ok.  When setting up my new phone I selected to set up as a new phone and not via icloud back up.  Is there anyway I can restore my details to my new phone?  Thanks Hayley

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
    Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
    When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

  • Was my upgrade used when I returned a New phone on the 3rd day I had it?

    I opened an account in October of last year. I received an Apple iPhone 4S and then 3 days later returned it for a Galaxy S3. I was recently trying to upgrade my phone but they said the upgrade had already been used when I returned my new phone within the 14 day return policy. Why did that count as my upgrade? Now my account says I can't upgrade until months after my plan ends. I would like to upgrade. Thanks for your help.

    There is not enough information in your post for anyone to know if you are actually upgrade eligible. What I was saying is that IF you started service in October of last year then more than likely you are not eligible to upgrade as upgrade eligibility usually becomes available every two years of service.
