iPhone keeps asking to sign-in to old Apple ID?

Change your Apple ID temporarily

Use these steps to change your Apple ID temporarily:

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Edit in the Account section, then click Change Email Address.
3. Change your Apple ID to the email address that iCloud is asking you to sign in with.
4. Sign out of your account page.

Then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

1. Tap Settings > iCloud on your iOS device.
2. Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
3. Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device], and enter the password for your Apple ID. Your data remains in iCloud, and is updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
4. If you're signed in on more than one device with this Apple ID, repeat steps 1-3 on each device.
5. Go to your Apple ID account page, and sign in again.
6. Change your Apple ID to the email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
7. Tap Settings > iCloud on your iOS device, and sign in with your new Apple ID.

I just deleted all the apps that got bought under the old Apple ID and re-installed them. All working fine now 🙂

Fixed the issue by deleting all the apps that were installed under the old Apple ID and re-installed them under the new Apple ID

I managed to fix my iPhone by doing a complete restore through iTunes. theres a special way do it just google complete iPhone 7 restore. and follow the directions and it fixes the problem (good videos on youtube). the only thing is i haven't bothered tring to restore back up to my iPhone because i think the problem may come back if i do. so in other words you will loss a lot of stuff off your iPhone other then contacts and what ever is linked to the apple id that you want to use (unless you use a new one) but its the only way to fix it.

So I finally fixed my husband's new phone. I did a restore and set it up as new, and he opted not to install a bunch of old apps (mostly games he didn't play anyway). The apps he did choose were relatively new and definitely purchased with his own iTunes account. So far, several hours later, no annoying popup asking to log in to my account.

The key seemed to be that I made sure the apps available to restore via his computer were only the ones purchased through his account. Setting up the new phone with a backup of the old included some old apps that were purchased with my account.

Did you ever see the following replies that your provided solution does not work if the previous old ID is being used by other person??? Care to help & solve the correct issue here?- upgrading to iphone is getting tiresome & sucky these days.

Yes, I found a solution that worked for me. I deleted all of the items (apps, songs, etc.) that were associated with the old Apple ID. I documented how to do this in a link I included in an earlier post of mine.

probably a good idea to backup and reset the device as new

i assume the old account credentials are known and make sure icloud is cleared too before changing etc\

Has anyone come up with any other solutions to this problem? I resolved my instance (I think) by deleting all songs from my Music app. I think the prompt for the password to an invalid, expired, and deleted iTunes account came from some old shared songs. I don’t have a way to identity which songs those are, so I just deleted the whole list. I can’t find anything about identifying the old shared songs in iTunes and deleting them so this issue does’t re-occur. Any thoughts or ideas?

The most likely reason this is happening is that you have songs in your library from another person. When your iPhone restores from a backup, it steps through each song and if the song was originally purchased by someone other than you, it prompts you to login as that other person.

There's two ways to fix this, besides erasing your entire iPhone and just starting fresh.

Delete the affected songs

This is the method I chose because I didn't want to have to deal with this again during my next upgrade.

Use the Track Down Purchases iTunes script for $1.99 on your Mac to find and delete the affected songs. Then, sync your old iPhone with iTunes, manually back it up, and then restore again from your new iPhone.

I've had the same problem since doing a restore last week. I'm being asked for an email address that was never used as an apple id. The request repeats every minute or two (usually in pairs).. I've tried logging into icloud/apple with the id and I get an error message that the account doesn't exist. Upgrading to the most recent iOS update did not help. Doing another restore did not help. No app is hanging during download. I'm stumped and I'm wasting too much time on this.

Having the same trouble. Started when I got my new iphone 7 and used my last iphone 6 icloud back up copy to restore. Now it wants the password to what was my apple id 3 years ago that doesn't exist anymore. Is it possible that restoring my itunes music library it asks for the old password for songs that were bought at the time the old Id was used...? All apps have now been sucessfully restored on my new phone...

I'm having the same issue. I just got an iphone 7 and used my icloud backup from my old iphone to get all the data onto the 7. But a popup keeps asking for my mom's apple ID email and password- which I used years ago to download a few things on her devices. But all of those apps/music have since been under my apple id and my icloud for years. I can't go change the email address on the Apple ID account page to my mom's because that is currently her ID. When I do log into my mom's ID when it pops up, my phone can't update or download any new apps. So then I log out of itunes/app store and retry, which is when the popup appears asking for my mom's ID.

I never had this problem on my old iphone, ipad, or mac. And no we don't have family sharing on. I've tried signing in/out of everything, resetting the phone, deleting and redownloading apps, etc.

I'm having the same problem. Have an iPhone 6s, on the most recent version of software. No idea why this is happening but suddenly I can't update any apps because when I try it asks to validate with an old ID. There is no place in my settings/icloud to log-out. What else can I do? Tried restore - no luck.

Having the exact same issue with my husband's new iPhone 7. It keeps asking to sign in to my (not his) account. Have tried signing out of everything (both phones and both computers), turning off phone, etc.

I set up the phone from a backup of his old one...should I try to erase and set up as new? The problem is, I have no idea which of his old apps he bought with my ID and which with his...I imagine as soon as I try installing ones bought with my ID the same problem will occur again.
