"Sign In To iCloud" keeps popping up over and over again - HELP!

Hi,
Recently I have been having trouble trying to fix my issue with my second hand iPhone 5 (32gb). About 5 months ago I had bought this iPhone and everything was fine. Until yesterday a message popped up stating that I need to sign in to iCloud. The apple ID was not mine nor did I know this email so I tried pressing cancel but it kept popping up over and over again. I cannot do anything to my phone right now and had tried searching up for a solution to this extremely annoying problem but found no fix. My phone is connected to Wifi and I've tried rebooting, but haven't restored and reset since I'm scared that it might turn up to be an activation lock. I have tried contacting Apple Support but they've put me to hold for a very long time which I can't do anything about and I'm afraid that I have come to a dead end. Also, I've tried contacting the owner of the iCloud account but they haven't replied yet so I'm anxiously waiting for a solution. Please, PLEASE PLEASE help me since I'm desperate for an answer and will need a phone in the next few days.
Best regards,
Andy- iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

I have the loop issue solved. It seems it was as simple as turning the wifi back on. It got shut off and I was unaware. It was really hard to go through the settings menu with the sign in box continually popping up. Thanks for offering to help.

Sign in to icloud keeps popping up over and over on my iphone

I have attempted to make my old iphone into an ipod touch for my son and it seemed to be working okay but now the "Sign in to iCloud" box keeps popping up in an endless loop. I have tried to cancel, that didn't work. I have tried typing in my password, no dice. I read that I should hook it to the computer, back it up, and delete the icloud account from the phone, but I have not gotten the last part figured out yet.
Any advice that could be spared I would appreciate greatly. Until then, I will continue to search the forums.

Sign in to Icloud keeps popping up

The email address I have registered for Icloud is no longer in use and therefore I cannot remember / retrieve the password. Recently a message 'Sign into Icloud is popping up every 30 secs to 2 minutes? I cannot seem to be able to use FaceTime either.
Please could somebody offer me some advice of how to resolve this?

Hi Katbaz35,
Your iCloud account login is also your Apple ID (or at least an Apple ID, if you use more than one), so if you no longer have access to the email that was used to create the account, you should be able to update or change your Apple ID as outlined in the following articles:

ICloud keeps popping up and won't accept my AppleID password

iCloud keeps popping up and won't accept my AppleID password

Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac then go back and sign back in. Note: this only removes the iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud. Your data will reappare on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

I am having problems signing into iTunes, keeps asking for my ID&PW over and over.

I am unable to log into iTunes store and download songs. My connections are ok, and I got into the store last week. I can sign in...but when I got to purchase a song, it ask me to verify my acct, So I give it my id and pw, wait a few sec, then the window comes back asking the same thing over and over. Any help would be appreciated. Emails me direct, [email protected]

Only one apple ID. Password is correct. It keeps prompting me in an endless loop anyway.
If I enter the password one time, then click cancel on all dozen+ additional prompts, then I can finally proceed to check for app updates and available TV show subscriptions.
I used to have to type the password exactly twice because it hasn't been storing the password correctly for some time (there are posts elsewhere about cookie storage issues, none of which helped me).
But after the upgrade to iTunes 11.0.3 (42) 64-bit (on Mac OS X 10.8.3), I now have the problem in SPADES -- dozens of prompts, because each time I satisfy one, I get two more, until I give up and cancel them all.
This is not user error. It is a bug that has been made worse by the latest iTunes.

ICloud keeps adding same contact over and over. How do I stop it? 4,600 duplicates in less than 24 hours and counting.

I added a contact on my Mac Mini yesterday and it keeps adding the same contact over and over.. up to 4,600 duplicates and counting.. How do I stop it?
Here was the exact sequence.
1. Added a contact in Contacts.app on my Mac running OSX Mavericks 10.9
2. Contact was added to Contacts.app successfully.
3. Noticed only one contact in Contacts.app on Mac.
4. Opened Contacts on my iPhone 5S running 7.0.4 and searched for contact.
5. Noticed duplicates in Contacts on my iPhone 5S.
6. Looked at Contacts.app on Mac, Still only one.
7. Checked iPhone again, noticed several more contacts added and the data spin icon working in the status bar and more being added as I was watching.
8. Opened icloud via web browser, noticed same thing in the Contacts section.
9. Shutdown, Mac (thinking there was a bit of code open ended code)
10. turned off all iCloud Contacts on all iOS devices linked to this icloud account.
11. Less than 24 hours later... 4,600++ duplicate contacts in icloud and counting.
12. As I am writing this I deleted icloud from my mac.. thinking this is the bug's origination point.
what's next??

Step 12 Stopped the duplicate contact.
Deleted iCloud from my Mac. Hope this helps someone.

TS3899 Why do I keep getting emails downloaded over and over again. It seems that iCloud does not recognize when the emails have already been downloaded to my iPad.

Why do I keep getting mails from iCloud over and over again? It seems that iCloud does not recognize that the emails were previously downloaded.

Does the iPhone NOT tell iTunes if you've played a track or not?
Yes, but the entire track must be listened to - until the track ends.
A song is not marked as played until the song has completed and the iPod starts playing the next song. The song must be played until the very end, and the same with a podcast.

The iPad mute bell keeps popping up over and over. It is turning volume down as fast as I turn it up. I have reset and restored the iPad to the original settings. Nothing has worked! Any other ideas?

The iPad mute button continues to pop up over and over. If I turn the volume up, I can watch it decrease just as fast. The icon stays. I have reset the iPad twice, and have reset it back to manufacturer settings as well. The problem continues despite my efforts.....any other suggestions? It is completely upgraded to the newest iOS version. And I was not having trouble before this upgrade.

If I had it in a case or had my finger on the switch these would solve the issue. Or, if the mute bell was only coming on when the volume button was pressed, how ever, it is coming on at random times and will go away for a few minutes if I hit the home button, but then reappears. This seems to be a problem experienced by a lot of iPad users so I have trouble thinking it is a bad switch.

HT201210 I did the update on my phone and now it just keeps restarting itself over and over again. It will come up with the black screen and apple sign and shut off and bring that up again. What do I do?

First I did the update under general like I do every couple months. My phone came up with a screen, at the end of the update, that had a picture of the itunes icon and a picture of the iphone cord like I was supposed to connect to itunes. I did and itunes said that my phone needed to be "restored" to be reusable again, and the only option it gave me was to click the restore button. So I did and it went through a 30 minute restore session. Now my phone just shows the black screen with the apple icon and restarts over and over again. Clicking the buttons does nothing. It has been doing this for hours now. What do I do?

The screen is telling you to connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

Try deleting the app and reinstalling it.

Itunes keeps downloading the same songs over and over again on a shared library

I have a share library on a NAS box, and until now, little problem. But now, iTunes keeps downloading the same songs etc, when I go to another PC, even though the library is shared between the other PC, is the same.
Plus, iTunes repeatably asks for my Password to log in, even though it is correct.
Share Library on NAS box, mapped drive paths to drive letters.
Keeps re-downloading songs and podcasts I all ready have on the NAS box, if I open iTunes on different computer.
This is new behaviour. Has not happend like this till today.
Keeps asking for my iTunes ID and Password, over and over again, evertime I run iTunes, or my iPod.
Thanks in advance.

Adriana,
If your .mac account is set to be type .mac (don't laugh, it can be set to be POP, or IMAP), it functions essentially like an IMAP. As a .mac, the Inbox is actually on the server, and when you display the Inbox, you are displaying everything on the server. Any downloading you observe is purely for purposes of display, according to what selections you have made in Mail Preferences. What you report seems perfectly normal, for a .mac account, and for an IMAP account.
Often an exchange account is also an IMAP account, and thus the behavior would seem normal for that type of account.
Again the Inbox is on the Server, and not on your Mac. Do not confuse this with selecting to Keep copies for Offline viewing -- those copies are refreshed from the server whenever you sign on.
Neither a .mac nor IMAP account folder will contain a MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded file . However, your POP folder should have such a file or two, to control duplicate downloads of messages remaining on the server -- POP was originally designed to remove upon download, but now that many people use more than one computer, it is logical to sometimes leave messages on the server to be download onto other computers.
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail and look for a folder named to begin with POP and including the server and/or email address in the name. If there is not a POP folder, then the account has NOT been set up to be something other than POP. If there is a POP folder, it should contain the MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded.
More info, please.

HT201398 iphone keeps asking for apple id over and over when trying to update or download apps

Each time I try to update or install new apps, I keep getting asked over and over for my Apple ID. I enter it correctly and then nothing happens.

Settings app > iTunes and App Stores > {appleID} > sign out, then sign back into your ID.
