Why is my iphone asking me to sign into my previous iCloud account?

whenever I use my phone, I get a pop up saying sign into iCloud. this isn't using my new account. it doesn't give me the option to sign in with a different account. when I try to say I forgot the password, i enter my birthday but it doesn't match apples records, so I can't continue from there. I can't use the send email option to get the password because I don't have access to that email anymore. when I click delete account, I need to be able to sign in... can somebody please help me

Because the apps that you have synced to your iphone were purchased using your husbands apple id.
Please sign out of your device with your apple id. Sign in with your husbands apple id. Update the apps. Once they are updated you are then free to sign back in to your device using your apple id and all will be well with the world!
Good luck.

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud

I changed my primary email address because I could not access my old email and now my new iphone asks me to sign in to my old account in order to backup my apps and music from my icloud. when I try to sign in using my password it says it is the wrong password.

If you are only updating apps, that's normal Apps and other purchased media are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. You also don't back up apps or music to iCloud, the only thing backed up to iCloud is your app data, which is part of your iCloud backup by default.
Is your phone signed into the old ID in Settings>iCloud?

Why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

why does my ipad ask me to sign into the iTunes Store when i start up my ipad?

Probably because you have not signed in in the Settings app. The iTunes and App Store keeps track of apps that need updating and auto updates apps for you. You need to be sign in for this to work.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > sign in.

I can't sign into my different iCloud account to update iPhoto! it will only let me use my dads old one and asks for the password. help!?

I am signed into my apple id account. When I go to update iPhoto, it asks to sign into my dad's old account in order to update. It will not let me change the apple id to mine, it only asks for the password which is impossible to get a hold of. Literally. Help?!

That would be because the licensed copy of iPhoto on your Mac belongs to your father. Only he can update the app. Was this once his Mac?

My iPhone asks me to sign into apple id's that are not mine- how do I stop this?

My iPhone asks me often to put in a password for apple id's that are not mine. Some of the ones that pop up are for people that I don't even know. Why does this happen and how do I stop it? Thanks!

Hi Friend,
You must have all apps downloaded by your Apple ID, otherwise you will still facing this problem. Delete the apps you did not download by yourself and download them again. I will fix your problem.
By the way, your device is configurate with your Apple ID? Check it in: Settings>>iTunes Store and App Store
Hope it will be helpful

Why does a box asking me to sign into iTunes keep popping up?

Last night I logged on to buy something from one app. It froze up on me. When I went into one of my other apps purchases had been made.
Now I have the little box pop up asking me for my pass word. But I wasn't trying to buy anything.

When you buy an app (or music, etc), that item is forever associated with the Apple ID that was used to buy it. If you later change the connection to the itunes store (i.e. use a different ID) you will need to provide ID and/or password of the old ID.
Sounds like this is your problem. Be sure your itunes store account is the old one.

IPhone 4 keeps asking me to sign-in to my apple account - WHY?

All of a sudden, when I launch an App, my iphone gives me a pop-up alert asking me to sign-in to my Applie account (my ID is there, but it wants the password). It doesn't happen EVERY TIME, but I'd say every OTHER time and it's not just one of the apps. If I tap CANCEL it lets me into the App, if I type my password that also works.
But, this is very annoying - why why is this happening????

Scam. Do not reply, do not give them any account information.

The wrong apple ID pops up on my new iPod touch 5th gen. It is asking me to sign into an account that has my friend's email address. She has never even touched this iPod. Why is this happening?

My son got a 5th gen iPod touch today. We have an established Apple ID from my iPhone and we are able to log into it just fine on the new iPod. After a few hours of use, the iPod started asking him to log into an Apple ID account that he doesn't recognize. It appears to be a gmail address of a friend of mine who has never used any of my Apple products. What is going on and how do I stop it? We have to keep hitting 'cancel' every time it comes up. Thanks!

Sounds like apps purchased from those accounts got synced to the iPod and it is asking to log into that account to update them.
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
What do yo see if yo go to the Updates Section of the App Store app?

My iphone which was replaced by insurance keeps asking me to sign into with an apple id email

Check in settings-itunes and app stores, to see what it is showing as far as apple id. If its not yours, log in as yourself. Also check settings-icloud and sign in

Whenever i want to update my apps the iTunes box pops up for you to sign in but the account it's asking me to sign into isn't mine and i do not know how to sign in using my account

The email that iTunes wants me to sign into is my mums which is weird because my mum has never touched my ipod so i don't why iTunes is asking me to sign into her account.
I've tried finding ways to change it but i can't seam to.
Another thing is that when i download an app, iTunes manages to get the email right and the box pops up with my email account and not my mums.
Please help me change this because i cannot update my apps.
Many thanks

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
To change the login
- Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating.

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

I have music in iTunes that was purchased with an account that no longer exists. I'm transferring music to a new computer so the new iTunes is asking me to sign in to the old account to authorize the old music. Is there a work-around for this?

Just to clarify: I purchased some of my older music in iTunes with an account that got deleted. I cannot recover or use this old account. I transferred music from my old iTunes to a new computer and that new iTunes on the new computer is asking me to sign into the old account to authorize the music. So, is there another way to transfer this music to my new iTunes? I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer the music. Also, music that was purchased with my current account tranfers just fine.

My iPad keeps asking me to sign into iCloud

but when I go to sign out of the iCloud in settings it says my password is incorrect. How does that work? When it has allowed me to sign into iCloud on the same device using my actual password.
ANd how do I stop my iPad continually asking me to sign into it anyway? It comes up all the time, checking email, reading on here, using the Internet etc.
All i want to do is sign out of or delete my existing account on here and use another account, without habing to constantly sign into the iCloud
regards
