I have 2 ipads and 2 iphones all wit same appleid. 3 of them demands me to update appleid. If I do that, I have to reset end to end encrypted data. After that all 3 other devices starts demanding me to update appleid. Its an endless loop like a rock with text ”turn me” at both sides...
Apple support asked me to log out all of them and then change my password and log in to them.
That didn’t help.

Hello Seppo Loisa,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. It looks like you're seeing prompts to update your Apple ID and when you do, you see a prompt to reset end-to-end encrypted data, but you still the same prompt to update your Apple ID after. Is that right?
What's the exact wording of the prompt you're seeing?
Does it come up after any particular action you take, like working with iCloud Keychain or two-factor authentication?
Do you see "Waiting for approval" on any of your devices?
Once you tap the prompt to update your Apple ID, do you see any other options, like an option to repair your account? How about a prompt to enter a device passcode? If so, try entering your device passcode. What happens then?
Let us know. Best wishes!
It is red badge in Settings under Apple ID, iCloud, media...
Exact wording is in Finnish: ”Päivitä Apple ID asetukset” (Update Apple ID Settings)
Update-badge is allways in 3 of my devices. I have tried to ”grind” it to go away but its only temporarily solution because Apple authentication server firewall blocks my publick IP after about 10 tries. It wears out about 24 hours.
Anyway, this update-badge doesn’t do any harm. All my devices connect to iCloud.
Hi Seppo Loisa,
Thanks for the reply! You mentioned a public IP address. To clarify, does the issue persist from multiple Wi-Fi networks? If it does, we recommend using this link to Contact Apple Support to look into the issue further.
Kind regards.
