Sign in to iCloud/FaceTime popup is continuous

I can't use my iPad at all right now because of a continuous request to sign in to either iCould or FaceTime. I don't want to do either so I continually hit the CANCEL button on the popup box.
How do I stop this process?

Hello hateiTunes11
If you are having issues with those pop-ups then go to Settings > iCloud and either Sign out of the account or supply the password. Also go to Settings > FaceTime and sign out there as well if you do not want to use it or again supply the password.

Unable to sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, or App Store

Ok, this is STUPID frustrating. I'm NOT a novice user with Mac's, but I'm stumped to figure this bug out...
13" MacBook Pro 5,5
2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
8GB Ram
120GB SSD - OS & Applications
750GB 7200rpm HDD inplace of optical drive. - User files/profile set on this HDD.
Fresh Mountain Lion/10.8.1 (clean) install from USB (formatted HDD first).
Problem:
1. Can not sign in to ANYTHING that uses my Apple ID (except iTunes. iTunes seems to be working, I think). Specifics listed below:
Error Messages:
iCloud (System Preferences):
You can't sign in at this time.
Try signing in again.
iCloud - Calendar.app (Preferemces>Accounts>Account Type: iCloud):
Sticks on "Searching "iClound.com" for calendar servers" for quite a while then shows the message:
"Calendar found a CalDAV server but couldn't log in with the user name "[email protected]". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again."
FaceTime:
Sign in with my Apple ID username and password. Another box pops up reasking for my password, then I get the screen telling me my FaceTime address, where people can call me (my Apple ID). I click "Next", it says "Verifying" then "Verified" then boots me right back to the innitial sign in screen with the error message "Incorrect Apple ID or Password".... FRUSTRATING!!!
Messages.app (Preferemces>Accounts):
Enter Apple ID & password, a box pops up asking me to reenter my password, so I do. Then I get the error message:
"Could not sign in to iMessage"
"Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
App Store (Store>Sign In):
Enter my Apple ID and password. It sits and thinks for a bit, then the box disapears like it accepted my input, but then does nothing. Doesn't show me my store account, and when I reclick on the "Store" Context Menu, I see the "Sign In" option like I never gave it my username and password to begin with.
I've tried to create new Apple ID's (through the menu choices), both using an external email address, and creating a new .me email address. No good there either:
Click create a new ID> Location = United States, Birthday= my birthday (im 32 so no limit there).
Doesn't matter if I choose to use an existing email or wish to create free apple email. I get the "Terms of Service" screen, click the "I agree box" and then I again get the "You can't sign in at this time. Try Signing in again." error message...
I've searched and searched all over Google, even tried some of the fixes the Hacintosh folks are using to correct similar issues, but in-so-far nothing has worked. I'm at an impass here.
I installed Mountain Lion over my Lion install, and everything worked. I reformatted my HDD and installed a raw, fresh copy of Mountain Lion, and *poof* no workie, workie all brokie, brokie.
Before someone states the completely obvious, yes I know my Apple ID and pass are correct. I signed in to Apple.com, iTunes, and iCloud with it just fine. Using my computer's built-in service fuctions, or individual apps that I can point to my Apple ID, it wont let me in. I can't do crapall. Can someone here please lend a hand? Hopefully I'm not the only person having this issue?!?!?!

Called Apple and was surprised that the problem was actually solved in one call! Here is the fundamental problem (and I think it is mostly Apple's fault):
The Apple ID used by iCloud (and iMessages, Facetime, etc.) is DIFFERENT from the Apple ID used by iTunes etc. In my case, I had set up an Apple ID awhile ago with the format xxxxxxx, and then when iCloud started, Apple automatically set up an iCloud account with the format [email protected] because iCloud needs an email address. These two are different accounts in Apple's system. When I reset my password for xxxxxxx, it did not change my password for [email protected]
In case my problem is not your problem, here was my situation. All my services were working on my iPhone and iPad, until I went to iCloud.com and couldn't remember my password. I used the iForgot service, and entered my Apple ID (xxxxxxx), and then reset my password. This is where the trouble began.
I could log into appleid.apple.com, and "Manage my Apple ID" using the xxxxxxx name and the new password I had set. For the life of me though, I could not sign into iCloud, Facetime, Find My Friends, iMessages, etc. iTunes worked fine. I think this is similar to the OP. I tried signing in as xxxxxxx and using [email protected] and [email protected], all using the new password I had reset, and none of them worked. I knew the credentials were correct though, since I could "Manage my Apple ID".
Here's the solution:
Go to iForgot, and instead of typing in your Apple ID as xxxxxxx, type in [email protected] (or whatever your iCloud email address is). Answer the security questions, and then reset your password. In my case, I reset it to the same password I had reset to with xxxxxxx. Then everything worked for me.

Sign in to iCloud continually pops up. How to get rid of it?

My new iPhone 5 has just developed a similar problem which has made it unusable. It seemed to have developed this issue after I tried to put a new SIM card in the phone. Once the pass code is entered after boot up the message 'sign In to iCloud Enter the Apple ID password for ' an old Apple ID Continually pops up.
I am unable to remember the old password.
I have tried to -
1. Use Iforgot to try to change to the password of the old Apple ID and then sign in to iCloud. But it seems accept the change on the website but the phone wont doesn't recognise the new password.
Because the message annoyingly pops up straight away you cannot change any settings on the phone.
I have no access to the old Apple ID email address to get any reset advice.

hi. Reset router and cleared data and all appears ok now. Was connected via safari. Ipad not jail broken so no idea how it arrived, presumably a free app. Have deleted dash lane and all around me apps just in case. Thank you

'Sign in to iCloud' popup recurs on iPhone 5

The popup 'Sign in to iCloud' recurs about every 10 seconds. I hit Cancel, the message disappears but returns. I've turned off iCloud Drive but that has done nothing. Help, anyone? Thanks.

Hello neiljgold,
It may help to sign completely out of iCloud, then sign back in.
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
Note: If you sign out of iCloud (or delete your iCloud account), iCloud no longer backs up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes. For more information, open iTunes, then choose iTunes > Help.

If the iPhone originated in Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates, it'll never have FaceTime.
If the iPhone originated in a different Middle East country and was unlocked or taken outside of it, it may have lost FaceTime.
If neither of these is applicable, check the device's restrictions.

HT203808 Still can't sign in to iCloud

Updated to iOS 7. Followed the instructions to sign out of FaceTime and messenger and sign back in. iCloud still asking for my old Apple ID., and telling me I have the wrong password or id when I try to delete the account or turn it off. This *****!!!!

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

My Apple ID is claimed to be not supported on my iPad ios 8.1.1, when attempting to sign in to iCloud ( settings/icloud). The address works fine for iTunes and for iCloud from my MacBook.

i Cannot sign in to iCloud on my iPad. It has the most recent iOS. The error message says unsupported id. However this Apple ID works in iTunes on the same ipad and works fine logging into iCloud from my MacBook.

Hi, erviv.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are receiving a unsupported Apple ID error when you try to sign in to iCloud. Here is some information that you may find helpful with this.
I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.

Can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?p

can't get to settings to turn on wifi because "sign in to icloud" pops up and asks for pw which does not work because i can't get to wifi ?

The problem is I cannot turn on wireless setting. The "sign in to icloud -- enter appleid password" popup will not go away. when i enter the pw and click ok, the same balloon pops up again. If I click "cancel" it pops again. Since I am not on the internet (because I cannot turn the ipad wireless on) the sign in to icloud obviously will not work. Vicious circle.

Why can't I sign in to icloud?

I have windows and can't sign in to icloud. What is my problem?

Maximum number of three icloud accounts had been created on that particular device. There is no limit to Apple id creation - that is why no problem with imessage or facetime.

The sign in to icloud keeps coming in and i can not do anything even i put my password

in my i pad sudenly the sign in to icloud start to pop in to my screen, and i can not do anything even i am writing my password

Hi licaas,
If you are having issues with your iPad continuing to ask for your iCloud password you may want to try a couple of things to troubleshoot.
First, I would try restarting the iPad -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -

You can't stay signed in continuously. You are automatically signed out after 15 minutes.

How to kill iCloud password popup on Mac start up?

iCloud password is asked every time I reboot my mac. Can't turn it off. It makes me crazy! How to kill this popup? MacBook Pro Yosemite OS X 10.10.2 (14C109)

Good Afternoon vonnavi,
If you are repeatedly being asked to enter your iCloud password on your Mac, try these steps to resolve the issue:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203512
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click “Manage your Apple ID,” and try to sign in with your Apple ID. If you are unable to sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.
I receive a “failed user name or password” alert when attempting to sign in at iCloud.com, in iCloud preferences (Mac), or in the iCloud Control Panel (PC).
Make sure that you're entering your entire Apple ID when you sign in (for example, if your Apple ID is [email protected], make sure that you aren't trying to sign in with just “username”).
Verify that the Caps Lock key is not enabled. All passwords are case sensitive.
Make sure that you're using the correct iCloud-associated Apple ID and not a different Apple ID used for other services. For more information about having more than one Apple ID, refer to Using your Apple ID for Apple services.
If needed, reset your Apple ID password at iforgot.apple.com.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do for other Apple Services, (for example, Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, or Mac App Store), changing your iCloud account password also changes your password for the other Apple services. Make sure that you sign in to those services using your new password. Also, be sure to update your Apple ID password on all of your devices and computers that may use your Apple ID (such as any email applications that you use to receive iCloud email).
I can't sign in to iCloud on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you can't sign in due to the alert “Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account”:
Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
Hope this helps ...

IPad Air (IOS 7.1) stuck in "Sign in to iCloud" loop

iPad Air (IOS 7.1) continuously popping up the "Sign in to iCloud" window with an old Apple ID. When cancelling, it simply pops up again, immediately. And, because it is modal, I'm unable to get at Settings or anything else.
Unfortunately this started happening after the old WiFi modem/router died and before we could get logged into the replacement modem/router, so the device cannot see the network, at all, so cannot log into any iCloud accounts.
I have connected to iTunes and successfully updated from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1, but even after the restart this behaviour continues. Unable to Reset or Restore the device as I am unable to turn off "Find My iPad".
Have tried the Home/Power hard reset to no avail, the pop-up continues to pop!
How do I get around/through/over/under or past this pop-up?
Kyle

Had to go back to factory settings, but that did the trick.
Probably wouldn't have been the problem it was, if it hadn't happened between WiFi connections. But without the network being available, it just went around in circles.
Thank you, very much!

Hi Jamjoint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe
