my icloud is constantly asking me to sign in why?

Every time I start my Mac iCloud asks for my password of which I add but it comes up repeatedly until I cancel. It is the same as my Apple ID not sure why it is. It working and as a result my iCloud is not active

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Move the following to the Trash and restart.


Close all running apps. Put the following items in the trash:


1) In the ~/Library/ folder, put the Caches folder in the trash.


2) In the ~/Library/Application Support/ folder, put the folder iCloud in the trash.


3) In the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder, put the file MobileMeAccounts.plist in the trash.
