SOLUTION FOR RANDOM APPLE ID POP UP

FIXED! So, you are probably freaking out cause some stranger apple id keeps popping up on your phone every few minutes. Don’t worry. I have the solution for you.


I had JUST the same problem when I restored my old Iphone to the new one. I literally went crazy trying to find what was it that was making iCloud enter in a loop. Was it an app? A song? God knew.


I went to Apple and they told me “It’ll eventually go away. Just keep on hitting cancel, cause we dont have a solution for it.” And I just couldn’t wait any longer.


So, this is what I did (100% a solution).


1) First of all, MAKE AN ICLOUD BACK UP that includes all you want to SAVE and make sure you don’t lose. This step is not absolutely necessary, but I recommend you to do it. Cause if something goes wrong, you have your backup.


2) Once you’ve done this, you already know for certain that there IS a back up of your phone somewhere, so whatever happens next you can always come back to your old data. Nothing is gonna be lost. So the next step is LOG OUT OF YOUR ICLOUD ACCOUNT. If it says “all data will be removed from Iphone” don’t panic, hit okay. Cause again, it’s all in the back up. You’re gonna notice all your notes and images are gonna go away to the cloud.


3) CREATE A NEW ICLOUD AND APPLE ID ACCOUNT. Once you’re logged out of the old one, create a new icloud acc and an apple id. Why is this necessary? Cause your old iCloud acc (the one you used to restore the Iphone you’re having the issue with) is intoxicated, let’s say. There’s a bug in your account that’s making the phone go in a loop, so as there is no way to remove this problem, youre gonna need to make a new, clean account.


4) MAKE AN ICLOUD BACK UP WITH YOUR NEW ICLOUD ACCOUNT. This new back up should include EVERYTHING you want to have in your iphone. Images, contacts, notes, whatever.


5) After your new back up is done, go to settings, general, scroll all the way down and hit Reset. Then put RESET ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS. Warning: this will erase all your iphone and it will end up in factory mode. BUT DONT PANIC! Cause you have your back up done, so nothing is lost. The iphone will go black, and then just turn it on as you do when you reset it normally.


6) When your phone is all ready to set up, it will ask you what would you like to do, whether you want to set it up from scratch or from an icloud back up. SET IT UP FROM THE ICLOUD BACK UP YOU DID WITH YOUR NEW ICLOUD ACCOUNT (that means the back up you did on step 4) DONT PANIC! All your data will appear on your iphone. Same background, same apps, same images. All will come back when you have wi-fi.


7) Done! You fixed the problem! Nothing should pop up. You have a new apple id and a new icloud acc, so whatever it was that was bothering your iphone will no longer be there. Warning: if you log in to your OLD icloud acc the pop up WILL come back again, cause as I mentioned, that account is contaminated.


Hope it helped! Let me know if it did!
