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.

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 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

  • 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:

  • The apple Id on my iPad was signed out. We don't remember the password. The sign in box just keeps popping up over and over even if you hit cancel. Now we can't use the iPad at all. Can anyone help?

    the Apple id on my iPad was signed out. we don't remeber the password. I was going to create a new Id for it but the sign in box won't go away. Even if you hit cancel it immediately pops back up. You can't do anything in the iPad because the box won't go away.

    If you can't remember its password then you should be able to get it reset (either via email or by answering its security questions) via http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't get it reset via that page then contact Support in your country, after confirming your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • 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?

    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.

  • Can I turn off mu iCloud without losing all my documents on my iMac?My iCloud window popped up unexpectedly, and am worried about a hacker. HELP.

    Can I turn off, or remove myself my iCloud account, without losing all my documents on my iMac? My iCloud window popped up unexpectedly, and am worried about a hacker. When I try and sign out of iCloud, The iCloud window is giving me a message that "If you turn off Documents & Data, all documents stored in iCloud will be removed from this Mac". I have iMac OS X 10.7.5, 2.7ghz, Intel core i5. I don't use my iCloud service, and I somehow my iPhone linked it to my computer by mistake. I don't want the service or need it, & don't want my info in cyberspace. I don't want to lose my documents on my hard drive, and it appears that I haven't used any data in iCloud, as 5GB of 5GB is available. HELP.

    I would love to hear that Apple has remedied this problem. From other discussion strings that I am following related to this issue, it seems thus far we remain out of luck. I did discover that if I log onto iCloud.com I can access my files that way.  Still, what a pain. 
    When I got the message re iCloud Drive as I was setting up my phone after the update to iOS8, it said I wouldn't be able to access my files unless all of my devices were running iOS8 OR Yosemite. That message was misleading as it really should have said all devices need to be running iOS8 AND your mac needs to be running Yosemite, as it was not an "either or" situation.  So frustrating...

    A request for my admin password keeps popping up randomly and a symbol (5 blue circles surrounding a yellow star) will show in the dock. I haven't typed in my password, just keep cancelling it. The file is called "finish_installation". Also icon is very pixelated. It seems very suspect and I am afraid my mac has a virus?!?!?! Any one? Please help.
    I can not find this file anywhere on the system after this request shows up!

    Doubtful it's malware ...
    Try relaunching the Finder. Press Command + Option + Esc then select Finder in Force Quit window then click Restart. 
    If that doesn't help, launch the Terminal app located in HD > Applications > Utlities
    Copy and paste this command into the Terminal window:
    killall Dock then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.
    The Dock will disappear for must a moment.
    See if that made a difference.
