iPhone keeps asking me to sign into iCloud

ME: "Everyone should have the attitude of service"

YOU: "expecting us to be customer service reps?"

Did I say anyone expected you to be a customer service rep? No.

Having the attitude of service is just human decency.

It is really required to sign in to iCloud when you are using apple products to secure your device. 😀

Attitude of service? No, that has nothing to do with human decency. It sounds far more like some sort of religious vow or obligation. You are really taking a user-to-user technical support forum way to seriously. I feel no "attitude of service" toward you. Sorry.

Thanks guys! You gave me a laugh. This thread is so silly. All I gotta say is love, peace, and don't take ANYTHING (well, almost anything) on the internet seriously. 😁

How to stop iCloud from asking you to repeatedly sign in on iPhone

1. Launch the Settings app.
2. Tap on iCloud.
3. Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap Sign Out.
4. Tap Sign Out in the popup menu.
5. Tap *Delete from My iPhone** in the second popup menu.
6. Type in your password to disable Find My iPhone if you're prompted and tapTurn Off.
7. Once you are signed out of iCloud, reboot your iPhone or iPad by holding down the power and Home button until you see the Apple logo.
8. Sign back into iCloud in the Settings app.

I only encounter this issue after updating to a major new version of iOS or after restoring with iTunes. This solution seems to fix the problem each time. Hopefully it fixes it for you too! And as always, if anyone else has any other suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments!

Chris - I have tried repeatedly to follow your suggestion - log out of iCloud, reboot phone, and re log into iCloud and it has not worked. How do I do something further to get rid of this, and successfully sign in to iCloud? It concerns me because I am about to renew my annual subscription to iTunes Match so I can stream my own music collection on any device including this older iPhone 4S. I only use this older iPhone on WiFi to stream Pandora and my music using the Music app. I can stream using Pandora1 (behind the repeated iCloud sign in window) but cannot get to my own music using Music on the phone. It won't show my playlists or my complete library. Any further thoughts or suggestions?

Although I am late to the party, I completely agree. The reason I came here today because I have the same problem as the OP.

It's way long overdue, the likes of these higher level contributors (are they really contributing or flaming)? need to be moderated and Apple should impose a tighter and shorter leash while holding them to a higher standard. These posters do nothing but encourage others to post elsewhere and act for the most part, like bullies.

This seems to have worked this time and solved an enduring aggravation, so, thank you very much!

My iPhone started doing this a couple of days ago, however, when I follow your directions above, during the time I am typing my password the box closes then reopens, I enter my password and it continues to close and reopen whether I enter the password or hit cancel. I don't use my iPhone for a lot on the internet, I use my iPad instead, because my phone is 16 GB. However 4-5 days ago I did use it for about an hour Saturday nite and it started this on Sunday a.m. It is driving me nuts. It is impossible to text. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I agree, but people are using the "helpful" button here as AGREE.

Note that, as happens all too often here, and elsewhere on the Internet, people answer even when they have nothing or bad information. Notice that none of the comments here about the original post are helpful.

I, and apparently about 500 other people have had this problem now for a while ... and we'd really like to know what is going on.
