Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server

Hi iCloud users
For the first time I have experienced errors while attempting to connect to iCloud via my PC.  Never had any problems previously.
The first error I received was:
     "Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
After a few attempts I was able to connect to iCloud.  However I was unable to access my Calendar and Contacts.  I received the following error messages:
     "Can't load Calendar - There was a problem loading the application"
     "Can't load Contacts - There was a problem loading the application"
Has anyone out there experienced this?  If so could you offer an solutions/suggestions?  Is iCloud not working properly today?
Many thanks & cheers,
Sue

  • A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server.

    Hello All,
    I am getting some new error messages when opening the server app on my Mac Mini server running OS X 10.8.2 and Server 2.2.1. First I get a message that says "A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server." and then after trying to open some of the service panes, I get additional errors that say "Multiple errors occurred on the server while processing commands." The services don't load and I just see "Error Reading Settings" in the server app.
    I started to get these errors when I added a new website to the server. All the services are working fine but I cannot access them in the server app.
    In console I'm seeing these errors when I try to access various services:
    2/24/13 8:02:12.692 PM Server[956]: Error: The server '10.0.1.150' reported an error while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_dns'.

    I have already restarted the server and used terminal to stop and start postgres. Any more thoughts on how to repair this?

    Just as I had suspected, the whole GUI crashed because of certificate problems. After two and a half hours with enterprise support, it turns out the com.apple.servermgrd certificate in the server keychain had become corrupt.
    We determined this by typing https://127.0.0.1:311 into Safari and we could see all the server modules and interact with them through the web interface. All the services were working properly as well so we knew that it was just the Server.app GUI that simply couldn't read settings that was causing the problem.
    So, first we closed the server app. Went into /var/servermgrd and deleted all the files from this folder. Then, in Keychain, deleted the com.apple.servermgrd certificate. Did a search for com.apple.servermgrd in Keychain and deleted everything else that came up for it.
    Then restarted the server. Now the server app was able to properly connect to the services in the background and read them properly. This was the jist of the troubleshooting that solved the problem. It also seems like DNS is causing problems because that is the only service that will not read right but is functioning properly in the background.
    I will post an update once Apple figures out what is wrong with DNS. Hope this helps anybody else having these problems.

  • I am unable to connect to the icloud from my windows laptop and get an error message: "Connection error: icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"

    I am unable to connect to icloud from my windows-based laptop and get the following error message: "icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    I would remove the email account from mail and then set it up again.
    If your are able to long I via owa though without the auto fill, then we already know the user name and password are correct.
    Let me know if that works.

  • When attempting to login to iCloud I get the following error message "Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while attempting to connect to the server"

    Although your symptoms aren't mentioned, I'd try the following document with that. (The server error message is consistent with a LSP conflict.)

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

  • HT204053 I have come across following error when accessing my icloud account " icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" please help...

    Please help with below error...
    I have been trying to access my icloud account in laptop with windows 7 operating, but I couldn't able to log in to icloud which show following error " icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server".
    I have icloud icloud control panel.
    But I can access my same icloud account in another laptop with windows xp operating.

    My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
    On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

  • Icloud encountered an error trying to connect to the server.

    When I try to sign in to my iCloud through iCloud.com I get this error: "icloud encountered an error trying to connect to the server.". However, at the same time I can  login with my different Apple IDs. It seems to me the problem is with this account. For sure I have already verified my account and I enter the correct password
    For further info, My iMac also cannot sync anything with the cloud. Meaning that, Also Im not able to manage my iCloud in system preference neither.
    Does anyone have any idea?! Could you please help me out if you know whats wrong?

    If it only does it at work, then the most likely reason is that your work network is blocking it, or one of the servers iCloud connects to.
    Have you asked the IT people at work? Checked it on another computer at work?

  • On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server".  I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC.  It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?

    Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
    Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

  • TS3988 I can't sign in to iCloud, message pops up stating that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". How do I sign in to iCloud now?

    Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
    When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
    When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
    Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
    I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??

    I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.
