The problem began after I updated my iPad and was led to establish two-factor authorization which created headaches for me, and so I undid two-factor and was forced to create a new password. Ever since, every time I start up my MacBookPro (using Yosemite), I am asked for my icloud password. How can I stop that?

If you go to System Preferences/iCloud when you get this message, are you signed into iCloud?
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.

Thanks for responding so quickly. Before trying the steps you suggested, I thought to have Disk Utilities perform first aid . . . and so far that seems to have solved the problem.
You are welcome.
