Totally random Apple ID request on iPhone after iCloud sync.

After syncing my iPhone 4s with iCloud I get a totally random Apple ID request.  I am not familiar with this email at all. Most of the posts I have seen seem to be related to an old email or the email of a family member.  The email address is completely foreign to me.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much,

Hi shailzonly,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you edited the Apple ID that you use for iCloud. To sign out of iCloud you do need to have the Apple ID and password for that account. In this situation, it may be necessary to temporarily change your Apple ID back to the one that is signed into iCloud (no need to change the password, you can stay with your new one) and sign out. Once signed out you can edit your Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in to iCloud with that one. Please use the attached article for more information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
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.
If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
Best regards,
Joe

  • My facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my laptop!

    Hello hersheygirle,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Re-download the Facebook APP on your computer and then sync it to the iPhone.
    Make sure your computer is logged into the same iTunes ID that shows up on your iPhone when you try to download an APP on the iPhone.

  • HT4859 Calendar events missing on iphone after icloud backup

  • Please help!! I lost all my contacts on iphone after I sync'd

    hey guys,
    This afternoon I sync'd my phone to move some new downloaded songs, I pulled my phone off the docking station and I lost all my contacts.
    please tell me they are somewhere in itunes. I have no idea how to move them back.
    anyone have any ideas.

    Hello miwung,
    roaminggnome is correct in that you should be syncing your contacts with whatever contact management software you are using on your computer.
    You can sync contacts with Windows Contacts, which comes pre-installed with Vista.
    To sync both contacts and calendars you'll need either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007. All of these programs need to be opened and setup (at least create one contact) prior to syncing per:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1347
    If the contact information is in one of those programs, the content should be synced back to the iPhone the next time you sync.
    If you weren't syncing to one of those programs. It is possible that the contacts may be in your iTunes backup.
    If you haven't tried another sync since you noticed the issue, leave the iPhone disconnected from the PC for now.
    Open iTunes.
    Open Preferences from the Edit Menu.
    Click on the Devices tab.
    Check the list of backups. If there is one there that corresponds to the time when you last synced with your contacts on the iPhone, and the sync was not interrupted in progress, it may contain the contacts.
    If you tried reconnecting and re-syncing after you noticed the contacts issue, the backup may not contain any recoverable data.
    While you're in the Preferences, put a check in the "Disable Automatic syncing for iPods and iPhones."
    Connect the iPhone.
    Right-click on the iPhone under Devices and choose "Restore from Backup."
    If the contacts are restored, make sure you sync them to a contact management program from now on -- and you may want to check with that program's website on how to backup the data in the program as well.
    Good Luck,
    Charles H.

  • Photos will not show up on my iphone after I sync it.

    I moved the photos from my iphone to my computer by copy/pasting from the folder 800AAAAA in my iphone. I accidentally mis-clicked and instead did a cut/paste and so my photos were deleted from my iphone.
    I am trying to put the photos back, but after I sync the iphone, there are still no photos. I have tried basically everything I could find online.
    I have deleted the ipod photo cache.
    I have added extensions to all the photo files.
    I have unsyched photos and tried to let itunes delete the photos from the iphone and then resynch. However, my itunes won't even delete the small number of photos left in my iphone, let alone resynch.
    It seems that synching with this iphone does absolutely nothing!
    Lastly, the "temperature bar" at the bottom of itunes shows that there are 1.3gb of photos in the iphone but there are actually only 13 photos in the iphone...
    I am using iphone version 4.3.3.
    Please help!

    I'm sure there's a solution somewhere...D:

  • How can i change the apple id on my iphone for icloud?

    the iCloud for my new iphone wants to use my old email address and password but i dont remember it. how can i change that.... help!!!!!

    @fernandamagalhaes
    It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
    Turn off iCloud completely
    Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Note:   If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help). 
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
    If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
    On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
    Note:   If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.

  • How do you fix multiple calendars from appearing after iCloud sync?

    After setting up iCloud and syncing my iPhone with it my iCal events are showing double in my iPhone (as in two events per entry). Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Well. I make an export Archive from iCal.
    Then deactivate from the iPhone (Adjusts - iCloud) the Calendars.
    For now, I will not use iCloud for calendars. I do not understand why we end with two Calendars. One from iCloud and one from the iPhone or the Mac itselves.
    We must have just ONE calendar for all.
    I use CalAlarm app from Devart and with the iPhone icon selected on iTunes I had to uncheck and check on Information label Sincronize Calendars of iCal.

  • Attachments missing from emails after iCloud sync

    Hi there
    I am running Outlook 2010 in Windows 7 Home premium to access a POP mail address. I have created rules on Outlook to forward my emails from the POP account into the relevant IMAP folders of my @icloud.com account which enables me to access my emails on an iPhone and iPad.
    This system has been running smoothly for some time, however I have recently noticed a problem that has developed over the last month or so:
    Every now and then, attachments on emails that I have received do not sync onto my peripheral devices ie. the iPhone and iPad.
    This is not specific to a particular sender or file type and seems to occur at random.
    When I view the email in Outlook, and via the iCloud web interface the attachment is there and can be viewed/downloaded etc.
    The attachments are only missing from the iPad and iPhone. Has anybody ever encountered an issue like this? Perhaps there is something that I am overlooking?
    Thanks in advance

  • Has anyone experienced loss of reminders after iCloud sync?

    Yesterday I entered 10-12 reminders on my Mac and watched them sync through to icloud.com and then my iPad and iPhone.  This morning I get up and wonder why I haven't hear the first reminder go off.  I check my Mac and every one of them if gone, same on iPad, iPhone and iCloud.com.  Interestingly, when I went to iCloud.com, the reminders appeared for about 5 seconds and then vanished.
    Anyone else seen this or know the status of this issue?

    Joel, I am having the same problem you described. I have read of similar posts on PrintPlanet.com. Someone there thought it was a different text engine or something in CS4 which may be causing the problem.
    I don't know what causes this but I believe it can be traced to a previously created file in CS3 is saved as a CS4 document.
    The fonts associated with this problem for me are always Gill Sans, Palatino and some form of Helvetica. There may be others but these are the ones we notice the most.
    Today I worked on an InDesign CS4 file. When I opened it I was given a missing font warning. I went to Find Font and it was different typefaces of Gill Sans that was missing. When I changed the missing font to Gill Sans Regular entire lines of text disappeared. I closed the document without saving it and reopened it. I did the same thing in replacing fonts. This time no text disappeared. Not reflowed; not white; not hidden—gone.
    This is what I have been seeing for the past few months. The disappearing text is random and cannot be duplicated, though fonts may disappear in some other place. You never know where text will just disappear.
    The workaround I have found is to export your file to an INX document and reopen it in CS3. You have to replace all missing text before saving it as INX, though. To my knowledge CS3 has never had this happen.
    The workaround, though it works for me, is annoying. I'd like to know what to do to resolve this issue. What's the use in having CS4 if you can't trust it completely.
    I use a Mac running 10.6.3. I also have running Suitcase Fusion 2.

  • Apple headset unpairs from iPhone after charging in dock

    After the first charge after buying the headset, it auto-paired to my iPhone when charging in the dock and worked properly afterwards. The next time I charged both in the dock, the headset would not pair to the iPhone afterward. The only way to re-pair was to turn off bluetooth on the phone, power off the headset, turn bluetooth back on, and power up the headset. Then the next time I charged them in the dock, same problem. I took my headset back to an Apple store thinking it was faulty, but the Genius explained that he has exactly the same behavior with his and it's just a fact of life with the Apple BT headset. My husband was given one for Xmas so I tried it out with my iPhone and, as expected, same problem. I'm surprised not more people are talking about this in these forums. Having to go through a annoying 4-step process to re-pair the headset after charging is absurd.
    Message was edited by: disconnekt

    I was having the same problem, but I discovered a fix! I am using an iPhone with 1.1.3 firmware. Okay here goes.
    1. Turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone and turn off the headset as well.
    2. Plug in the iPhone and the headset in the dock. Make sure that the dock is plugged in to your computer via USB. Bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but the bluetooth symbol will be grayed out, i.e. not connected.
    3. Remove the bluetooth headset from the dock.
    4. Unpair the headset from the iPhone via Settings - General - Bluetooth. Turn off bluetooth once you are done unpairing.
    5. Turn off the headset.
    6. While the iPhone is in the dock, reboot the iPhone.
    7. Once the iPhone boots up, plug in the headset in the dock.
    Voila... the bluetooth should come on automatically and the headset should pair as well, but this time the bluetooth symbol will be lit up, i.e. bluetooth connected.
    Not done yet... remove the headset from the dock. The bluetooth symbol on the iPhone will go off, i.e. grayed out. Wait a few seconds and hit the button on the headset once and the bluetooth on the iPhone will reactivate and connect to your headset.
    Hope this helps!

  • Having to re-accept meeting requests on iPhone after initial acceptance in Outlook

    I've searched these forums for awhile and all syncing issues seem to dance around the actual issue I'm having.
    Currently have an iPhone 4 running IOS 6.1.2. Business is running Microsoft Outlook 2007 and I'm connecting to Exchange through OWA.. I have no syncing issues when creating meeting requests from my phone or vice versa like others have had and I have not had any issues with meetings being deleted.
    However, since updating from IOS 5 to IOS 6, I do have an issue where if I accept a meeting request inside of Outlook, it does not sync and clear out the meeting request as "accepted" on my iPhone. The only way to remove the notification is to select the request in the calendar and accept it a 2nd time and thereby sending a 2nd acceptance to the meeting organizer.
    I've tried everything from changing Outlook settings in order to delete meeting invitations after acceptance to the numerous suggestions found in these forums though none specifically solve this particular issue.
    Any help or direction to the thread where this might be solved would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Has anyone figured out a solution to this yet? I have an iPhone 5s and an iPad Mini. I have my Outlook 2010 calendars synced on both my iPhone and iPad Mini. If I accept a meeting request in Outlook, it still appears in the Inbox in my calendar on both my iPhone and iPad Mini. If I accept the meeting request on my iPhone, it still appears in my Inbox on my calendar on my iPad Mini.
    I have my Outlook set to delete meeting requests/invites after I have accepted them, and that works in Outlook, yet they still remain on my iDevices. I have restarted both devices, and I have backed up iCloud again on both devices. I don't want to have to accept meeting requests on both my iPhone and iPad each time I receive them because that makes me look foolish. I also don't want to see the meeting requests in my Inbox on my iPad after I already accepted it on my iPad because the little number 1 in the red circle (signifying an alert on my calendar) is annoying.
    Who can solve this problem so that after I accept a meeting request in Outlook, that invite does not appear anymore in my Inbox for my iPhone and iPad calendars? Please! Thank you in advance.

  • Lost all my apps on my iphone after i sync'd to my laptop  - what do i do?

    lost all my apps after syncing my iphone to my laptop - what do i do? - how do i get them back?

    Select the iPhone in the iTunes sidebar and go to the Apps tab. If the apps aren't checkmarked and set to sync there, checkmark the appropriate boxes and resync. This of course presumes that the apps are on the laptop. If not, you'll have to download them again:
