Why does my iPhone keep asking me of my brother's apple ID Password every 5 minutes?
It is signed in with my Apple ID in App Store and in iCloud and iTunes & App Store in Settings.
But, why does it still not ask for my password?
MacBook, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
No. He has never downloaded any apps with his Apple ID on my phone. But, I have once synced my iPhone with his laptop long tim ago.
Right now, my phone is always asking me for his password every 5 minutes and if I don't enter it, and press cancel, it just repeatedly shows up again.
This started today and never used to happen before.
Hi
If your brother used to own this iphone
He needs to turn off find my iPhone on his or ipad
Then remove that iPhone from the list .

Ps this will work you may need to restore iPhone
Back to factory settings .
I said I cannot afford to lose my data because "gdgdacguy" said, "Restore the phone as a new device, NOT from any backup and set the phone up from scratch."
I obviously have a full backup on my Mac. And I also want my backup to be restored after I erase the phone. Thats why I said that.
Restore your iPhone as new. If no problems, add your apps back a few at a time.
If problem develops, it is with the last group of apps - delete them and add them
back one at a time until you find the problem. Photos can be restored after the
problem is resolved - photos should be synced with an applications (Photos? or
whatever you choose) on your Mac. Restore notes at the end as well. Small steps
are needed to see where the problem lies.
Since the iPhone keeps asking for his AppleId, something on your iPhone is associated
with his AppleID. The only way to find out what is to setup the iPhone as new and
add things back until you get the ID request again. While it will be a slow process,
it will get you there.
Apps and music are forever tied to the AppleID under which they were purchased, even free ones. Are there apps or media on your phone purchased with his ID?
Restore the phone as a new device, NOT from any backup and set the phone up from scratch.
But I have many photos and notes that I cannot afford to lose! Isn't there any other way? And why did this start today? It was fine all these months when I was using it.
No electronic device is meant to be the only source of any important data.
How do you backup your data? What happens if your iPhone is stolen or
lost?
