Q: Unused iCloud account keeps asking for password . . .
Every ten minutes or so my work is interrupted by this message:
"Your iCloud password for [account name] is incorrect. Please ensure you are entering the correct password for your iCloud account."
I don't use that account anymore and have iCloud linked to a different one. I've also tried entering the my iCloud password and the old account password and these are rejected. It's driving me crazy trying to work steadily with the interruptions. If necessary, I'd like to drop all links iCloud just to get rid of this situation.
Questions:
How can I delete this old iCloud account?
Failing that, how can I uncouple or trash my links to iCloud and start over . . . . or not.
Thanks.
