Ok, so I recently started to use I cloud to link my hackintosh(I know I can't talk about that here, thats not the issue though) to my macbook, and for some reason every time I turn my macbook on it asked for my could password, even if i press cancel things that I add in reminders as synced properly. I have tired running first aid, signing out and in again and creating a new user account. I am now out of ideas? Any help is appreciated. :) 

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Have you tried entering your iCloud password?

 

I have little to no experience with Macs so that's just about the best I can do, sorry :/

You could try resetting your key chain. I've had that be the cause of iCloud being annoying on friends' macs.

You may want to explore other fixes first though, as this is purely a shot in the dark.

Yeah, unfortunately it doesn't seem to make a difference

I must admit I didn't think of that, will give it ago...if it comes down to it will just stop using iCloud. 

Thanks for the help. ;)

I've heard from a friend that iCloud is a big pain

Thats not normal behaviour. If I had to guess it has something to do with the Hackintosh.
