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:

What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Sign into icloud keeps popping up on my old email address.  How do I stop this pop up?

    pop up on my ipad asks to sign in to icloud.I don't want to sign up to icloud but the pop up continues.  Very annoying.  How can I eliminate this pesty pop up?

    Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
    Press and hold on the Home button
    Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
    Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

  • 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

  • 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 -

  • How to stop the "sign in to icloud" from popping up?

    How can I stop the "sign in to icloud box from popping up all the time? I have an iphone 6.

    This has to be the most annoying thing in Illustrator and has been for the years I have been using it. I click on that icon to switch between having the stroke and fill selected, and it pops up the color panel in place of my swatches panel which is what I need.
    Let's say I have a swatch in my swatches panel that I want to use as the stroke for an object. I currently have the fill selected to work with, so I go down and click the stroke icon (shortcut for that is X but I prefer not to use the shortcut for that function). I then move back over to where my swatches panel is normally, but the damn color panel is covering it now! So I need to make an extra click back over to the swatches panel so I can use it. Such a minor little thing but so incredibly annoying.
    I usually work with a subset of colors in the swatches panel and when I need to use a color picker, I simply doubleclick on the fill/stroke icon on the toolbar. Thus, the color panel is completely useless to me in most cases.
    If I close a panel, any panel, it should not pop up unless I specifically go to the Window menu to enable it.

  • HT201209 Whenever I hit redeem it keeps prompting me to sign in even after I have signed in it just keeps popping up. What do I do?

    Whenever I try to redeem my itunes gift card on my ipod it keeps prompting me to "hit continue and sign in" Even after I sign in the same "sign in" screen keeps popping up. What do I do?

    I am having the same issue when on my Macbook pro. However when i access the iTunes store from my iPhone and click "Redeem" it prompts me to sign in and works no problem. But when I do the same on my laptop the sign-in popup just keeps appearing and I never get to the redeem page. It's very strange.
    If anyone has figured this out please reply.

    Hi kalthomas,
    It sounds like you are describing a feature called Activation Lock. The article below provides more details about it and will explain why you might be seeing it.

  • 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

  • Sign in required box keeps popping up

    Even though I've now reset the password again, I keep getting the "Sign in Required" box.  This is when I'm trying to install an app.

    Hi..
    MIght be due to third party software > Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text
    If you have an app called Little Snitch instaled, it can cause the problems you have described.
    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to iCloud, message pops up stating that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". How do I sign in to iCloud now?

    Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
    When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
    When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
    Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
    I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.
