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

This keeps happening to my iPhone. I've noticed it appears to be happening right around the time that Do Not Disturb turns on. I'm not sure if there is a correlation at all. I'll keep an eye on it tonight when Do Not Disturb turns on and see if it turns everything off. It's really annoying and I'm thinking of downgrading back to iOS 6.

I have fixed mine by Restoing in iTunes but a funny thing happened that may or may not be linked to this issue - despite being on iOS 7, and despite it being Restored AFTER the release day of iOS 7, when I clicked Restore in iTunes, it came back offering me 6.1.3! I accepted this, and let it restore to 6.1.3 (funnily enough though it was the iOS 7-style Restore icon that was on the iPad during the process).


It restored to 6.1.3 just fine, and I chose "Set Up As New iPad" and I then used the iPad itself to update to iOS 7. I then went Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings, and when it rebooted (into a now vanilla, clean, fresh iOS 7, I chose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and eveything is working fine.

I'm having this exact same issue on my Iphone as well as my wife's iphone.


Both are Iphone 4s and I've encountered this issue multiple times.


It seemed to have gotten better after I turned on Icloud backup BEFORE turning on all the individual options, when I did it that way it told me that the phone would no longer sync on wifi with itunes. After this I still lost my contacts maybe 1 more time where it was previously happening once every 1 or 2 hours.


But I'm still getting the annoying password prompts!


Have you guys definately fixed this after a restore?

The solution to this error (in IOS7) is: You have to edit our name ID to "manage your apple ID" from the following link and put in it the old name or misnomer. This will allow us to access iCloud on our device without problem and once there we can delete the account, momentarily leaving the device without iCloud account. Remember to remove the iCloud account, before we turn off "find my ipad" (in IOS 7 asks for this password, now if we recognize for having changed the old ID). Then repeat the process to edit the name of our apple ID to put the name you want and activate iCloud on your device using the latter name.
Here the link:

So I solved the problem with iCloud yesterday I came to upgrade to IOS7.
