How can I resolve Apple Account association issues on my iPhone?

Catastrophy, still the same bug till this day with the latest iOS!

I found the only way to clear the message was to reset the phone retaining my apps and data

Yes great tip it def works i wish i had noticed your post months ago its the only fix that worked for me👍

Did you select transfer and did the message recur?

I am having the same annoying problem several times a day. The message is not clear.

I had only updated my iOS to 18.3.2

This is not fixed. Been happening since last year. Message appears several times a day regardless on pressing cancel or transfer.

How many thousands of times am I going to have to respond to this dialog? I’ve been responding transfer for months, even on my iPad that was purchased new. WTH Apple?

Did anyone get a resolution this this? It’s now May 2025 and I’m still getting the same error message.

Fingers crossed but I haven't seen this since the latest update.

I’ve been getting it even MORE often since the recent update, including every time I turn my iPad on now.

I get this multiple times a day!! Apple needs to sort it out

I have chosen “Transfer” over and over but it still keeps asking me. It only started after I updated my phone a month or so ago.

Brilliant!! I have had the same problem since buying a used phone and your solution worked perfectly - many thanks kpttnuts

Glad it help someone else!!!

Same here on my MacBook Air which I bought second hand. @Apple: why is this a problem??? I have associated my account with this MacBook. Not sure how long I will keep buying Apple products...
