iOS 7 keep turned off my iCloud settings and asking my password

Hi,


I upgrade to iOS 7 the day before yesterday. Everything's fine until yesterday's morning. When I received a text message, I found it's shown under the tel number, rather than names from my contact list. Then I found all my setting in iCloud were turned off. I turned them on, and everything's fine after that. But today, it turned off all my settings again and stars to keep asking me sign-in my iCloud account. I checked my iCloud account settings, it seems correct for me. I can correctly get all the informations from iCloud. But it just keep asking my passwords...


Any ideas about this?


Thanks very much in advance,


s.c

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

I just did the "Turn on Reduced Motion" and it has now been over a day with no password requests and All of my iCloud settings have stayed on.


Go to:

Settings

>General

>>Accessibility

>>>Reduce Motion


When I set this to on, it seems to have fixed it.

It makes switching apps a lot less cool, but it's a F-TON less frustrating!


Best wishes to all.

I will post back if I start getting password prompts again.

Well, embrace it soon because it did prompt out for me even right after motion reduced and:


-reset all content & settings

-done a clean iOS 7.0.3 update

-reset all content & settings (again)

-set-up as a new icloud backup device / set-up without turning on find my iphone

-deleted old icloud backup, delete account & re-log in then made a new icloud back-up

-turned off documents & data from my iCloud Backup

-do not disturb is always off


I ran out of option guys.

Hi Folks,


After Trying everything include:

1. Reset my iCloud Password using the AppleID site.

2. Signoff my device from the iCloud account add it back.

3. Signoff my device from the iCloud account and add back using the iCloud alias mail instead my primary e-mail address.

4. Reset all data and settings, configure the device as new, accept all terms and after that restoring it from iCloud once and tried also same procedure with restore using the iTunes (include the firmware restore).

5. Reset network settings.

6. remove CoC for whole day.

7. turn on reduce motion detection.

8. I don't use Do not disturb.


The last step i made:

reset the device and configure it as new (without restoring nothing), i reinstall all applications (one by one), and readd my icloud account to sync my contact, calendar etc' , just for mention the device work very fast 🙂.

BUT the password verifiction popup twice sine then... but the icloud settings didn't turned off since then (3 days past).

If anyone here is fed up with the iCloud Backup's missing contact issue, there's another way to backup without having this iCloud issue getting in the way.


1. Download "Smart Merge", a managing contact app which allows you to back up & restore your contact through the app itself, email or dropbox. Either way is much faster & way more convinient.


2. After you have manage all your contacts, just backup ur contacts through "Smart Merge".


3. Turn off your contact from iCloud.




Now, what's left is the most annoying part is the iCloud Verify Password & Game Center Log in. I have faced the most terrible experience today is iCloud asked for my password every 5-10 seconds, and I was forced to restart my iPhone to avoid it.


As for the game center, it requested me to log in and whenever I tap log in, it says "Fail to connect to game center's server". So, now I would like to ask is Apple's server is causing all of these? Sometimes whenever I tried downloading some apps/updating them, a message shows "Failed to download/update to due the server's connection".


Anyone experienced it like I do?

Hello Apple Fan OZ and DK Radiuz,

There is no possible way to downgrade to iOS 6, even if you have the iOS 6 ISPW file which is the version file you won’t be able to use it because Apple servers no longer sign its release. I am very frustrated that so many people are still having this issue, as I said I fixed the issue for multiple people now. I posted a while back a solution on page 6. I will update that and post another one with more information and a few more steps. I really want to get this fix, although this is a fix for an issue that I think Apple should fix themselves.


Many people have complained about it being iPhone 4S lack of ram, I do not believe this is the issue because I have managed to fix it for about 4 people now. It’s just a bug in iOS 7. Thanks for reading and I hope I can assist you troubled consumers.


Best regards,
