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,

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

CJ, your solution definately did not work for me


I already lost everything again this morning after performing your suggestion last night.


As a matter of fact, I noticed that everything was off today RIGHT after playing clash of clans. Soooo this may very well have something to do with game center on older devices. Because it definately does not happen on our Ipad 4, which also has clash of clans

Hi all,


I disabled the Do Not Disturb function since 2 days ago and everything goes well EXCEPT when my iphone 4S plugged in and when its trying to do back up to icloud but thats ok as long as my contacts, my notes, my reminders, my email account position arrangement are there where they are should be!


It is a most annoying bug since I used iphone 4s more than a year ago, Apple really should fix this if they dont want to lose their customers.


Give it a try and let me know the results.


Cheerios!

I believe the problem is that somehow the iOS device is losing connection with iCloud and for whatever reason when this happens it defaults to turning off all iCloud services. This is very easy to see on my iPad 2 when I go into Settings after I haven't been in there awhile and going to the iCloud settings. The Find My iPhone setting will be off, but will change to on in a few seconds. It's off because the device doesn't seem to remember the state of Find My iPhone and needs to ask the server.


At the same time my iPad makes a ton of connections to Apple's servers as if iCloud was just enabled or airplane mode was turned off. My iPad 2 has 3G so it's always online, meaning something is screwed up with the device losing connection to iCloud and having to re-establish. Speaking of airplane mode, turning that on and off causes my iPad to simply drop connection to iCloud such that it prompts for the iCloud password when I disable airplane mode.


What's odd though is that if I use Find My IPhone to find my iPad, it works, except when Find My iPhone gets permanently turned off. In that case it says my iPad is offline until I re-enable it on my iPad. I'm convinced this is an iOS 7 bug, despite only seeing it on my iPad and not my iPhone. On my iPad it happens about once a week requiring a restart to get iCloud working correctly and then requiring me to re-enable Find My IPhone.


Unfortunately my iPad is out of warranty so I can't report the problem to Apple.

Clash of Clans and iOS 7 is working fine on my iPad 3, iPhone 4, no iCloud or Find My Phone got turned off automatically, except on the 4S. I tried all the solutions above, some works for a couple days then the bug reappears. IMO, it might because I switch between cellular and wifi so often when moving out and that makes iCloud got disconnected while syncing or backing up stuff. With Find my iPhone keep getting turned off automatically, Activation Lock is useless.


So iOS 6.1.3 is good for me on my 4S now. I love iOS 7 and all the new stuffs they've added but until Apple fix this nasty bug, I stay at 6.

You guys that are in the states need to keep in contact with apple's phone support so that they can correctly diagnose this problem so that a fix can be made available.


Im not in the states and Im having a real hard time staying in contact with their support since they cannot call me back and anytime I call i keep getting voicemail.


This is obviously a really major bug in iOS and I am pretty convinced there will be no workarounds other than completely disabling icloud and relying on itunes backups which is a major step backwards. So apple needs to have enough people complain about this problem to get the proper attention!

Sorry juststats.


No I have no experience with that, I am not an apple representitive or a proffesional tech support by any means, I am an end user just like you.


And no offence but it sounds completely unrelated to the topic so I don't understand why you are even posting that in here. Please start a new thread about your problem to get help there.
