Popup asks me to sign into Icloud w/ wrong account name

So i had this problem with my brother's phone and I was so frustrated. But I was able to fix the problem. Also I followed the advice here and it did not work.

This is what I did:

1. I checked the email and checked if it's been used

2. I noticed it wasn't so I created an account with the email

3. I went to iforgot.apple.com and entered the email and reset password

4. I checked the email and got instructions and reset the password and deleted the iCloud account.

I was able to delete the account the the pop outs went away.

I'm having the same problem, but it's not that I changed my iCloud I.D.; it's that the app store on my MacBook Pro is asking me for the password to my ex's iCloud account, and the email in the email address field is greyed out so I can't change it to my own. This is strange, because I've confirmed through my computer's settings and through iCloud.com that my account is the one associated with these devices, and the app store...

I don't have his password, can't delete his account, and we also don't speak anymore. What do I do?

Thanks!

Finally!!This worked for me.Thanks PaulStel. 🙂

The problem is you cannot signout of iCloud unless you are connected to the internet and you cannot connect to regular WiFi Connection because it keeps getting reset by the constant iCloud login prompts. However connecting via Bluetooth occurs faster than regular WiFI allow you to connect in between iCloud prompts.

I had the same problem with my iPad. Here is what I had to do.

1. Turn on Personal HotSpot on my iPhone(Wifi and USB)

2. Turn on Bluetooth on my iPad between iCloud popups

3. Connect to the Hotspot on the iPhone from the iPad

4. Settings -> iCloud -> Signoff

Currently, the activation through the "old", "no-longer-used" e-mail address is necessary when trying to change your Apple ID's e-mail address. Therefore... the fix does not work for me.

Anyone else got a different solution?

Driving me mad ...

I'm having this exact same issue except i upgraded from ios 7 to 10. i tried to do what you did but i need a verification code from the email im switching to, it doesnt exist anymore. guess this wasnt like this in 2013. also since find my iphone was turned on i cant delete the icloud data.
