Can't enable iCloud keychain on any devices

I seem to have been logged out of Keychain on my two macs and my iPhone. When I try to sign in by getting approval from another device nothing happens and when I use the passcode I get a message saying "iCloud Keychain could not be restored due to a problem communicating with iCloud.
This is on an iPhone 5 and two MacBook Airs, all running the most up to date software.
All other iCloud services are working fine and dandy.
I've tried repairing permissions on the macs and logging out of all my iCloud accounts and back in.
I'm very much at a loss as to what else to try short of Applecare / Genius Bar!

If you can't receive the verification code via sms on your phone, then you need to contact Apple support as the prompt indicates. They can verify your credentials and add your device to the keychain: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can't enable iCloud Keychain after restore?

I know my security code and the Apple ID password, as well as the phone #. However, I haven't received the message yet. I don't think my carrier supports SMS. This was the only device with keychain enabled, and after restoring I can't use it to confirm itself. Is there some other way to set up keychain?

I'm unable to access my iCloud Keychain, or add devices because I'm not receiving the verification number via phone as I put my Google Voice number.

I installed Mavericks, set up the iCloud keychain step by step. I was asked to link a phone number to it, and so I gave my Google Voice number. I know some systems don't allow for these kinds of numbers to work, but usually it's a two step verification - You put in your number, they send you a message with a code to verify this is indeed your number and you put in the correct phone number and voila it's linked.
A) It automatically accepted my phone number as is without verifying it
B) I'm not unable to verify my icloud Keychain account on other devices
Now the next step, for some reason I kept having pop-ups from keychain that asked me to put in passwords that over and over again. I couldn't find a solution so I re-installed Maveriks and did a time-machine reinstal. Which means now I can't verify access to iCloud keychain through any device at all. How can I reset everything and put in my real phone number?
I know my itunes/icloud user name and password and the 4 digit lock code for iCloud Keychain.
Appreciate the help!

Why can't I re-enable iCloud Keychain on my iMac?

Hi,
I recently noticed that iCloud Keychain stopped syncing passwords between my devices. While my iMac was up-to-date, my iPad mini, iPhone and MacBook weren't. I found a support article that suggested disabling iCloud Keychain on all devices and re-enabling it later. I followed that advice only to be presented with a completely new issue.
On my iMac (27" Late 2012, Mac OS X 10.9.1), when I try re-enabling iCloud Keychain, I get the following error message after waiting for a few minutes:
"iCloud Keychain couldn't be set up because there was a problem communicating with iCloud. Try turning on Keychain again." (transcribed for sight-impaired users and search engines)
I've tried this about a dozen times over the past few weeks now (just in case it is a server-side error), but still no luck. I tried investigating and found the following error message pop up in Console at the same time as the error in the above image:
13.02.14 16:44:59,761 com.apple.preferences.icloud.remoteservice[9342]: [AOSAccounts] : [registerCredentials] : SOSCCSetUserCredentials Error The operation couldn’t be completed. Invalid argument.
Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could try to overcome this issue? Or could anyone from Apple see if there is something wrong with the iCloud Keychain data in my account?
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Alex

This is a shot in the dark, but try this:
log-in to your iCloud account with your Apple ID
change your password
ensure your billing information is up-to-date
attempt to re-enable your Keychain (again)

Can't activate iCloud Keychain - Didn't received any sms activation code

I can't activate iCloud Keychain either on my MBP or my iPhone. Only option I have is to activate via SMS since non of my devices has, at this point, activated iCloud Keychain.
My phone number is the right one.
I've tried to activate it multiple times in multiple days, but I didn't received any sms with that activation code.
The steps I've take so far:
I've clicked "use Code"
that will be the final step, to insert the verification code but that code has never arrived.

I have lots of passwords stored in iCloud, would be end of the world if I lose them
Do you have another machine where they are accessible? I strongly encourage you to log on to that machine and back them up. I have been though this with iCloud Keychain before (https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7081). It isn't a pleasant process.
You can try calling Apple first, instead of resetting your keychain. But you really need to export your passwords. iCloud Keychain is very convenient, but not safe.

How to enable iCloud Keychain for 3rd party apps?

I came across iCloud Keychain, which if enabled, lets you backup keychain passwords and restore on other iOS devices. Also read that 3rd party apps can integerate iCloud Keychain to their apps in order to ensure that the app's keychain items are backed up to iCloud Keychain. Would like to know more on what 3rd party apps can do with iCloud keychain.
Even Appls's FAQ says so:
Does iCloud Keychain work with third-party apps? Yes. Developers can update their apps to work with iCloud Keychain. Passwords saved by those apps are then kept up to date on all devices that use the app and running iOS 7.0.3 or later or OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later.
I couldn't really find implementation details. Please help.

If the the data is stored in the backup, it should restore to the iPad when you restore the backup. If that's not happening, sometimes it's becuase the data is stored on the app's server.
SInce you are not having any luck restoring the backup, I would do a Google search such as this one using thses parameters - without the quotes.
"restore candy crush backup progress"
Personally, I do not trust any game that has in app purchases like these games have. It is my paranoid belief that the game developers do not want you to be able to restore your progress.

How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

How can I use iCloud-keychain if i can not find my country in the country code list?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your country code does not appear in the list…
Go to System Preferences > iCloud > Keychain and enter your Apple ID password (Settings > iCloud > Keychain, from a mobile device)
Select the ‘Create Different Code’ option. (Mobile devices only)
Select the advanced option and choose whether to create a random code or no code, selecting the later allows syncing across devices but not with Apple’s servers.

Can I use iCloud Keychain without a smart phone?

II see. If your Mac and iOS devices meet the system requireuments you could try using it as discussed at the bottom of this article: iCloud Keychain availability by country.

Can't enable iCloud Drive on Win 8.1

I can't enable iCloud Drive on my Win 8.1 PC. I tick the box, and Apply, a window pops up requesting my password. Then, the tick box appears ticked, then immediately un-ticks.
Can anyone help, please?

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is related to network, as I am trying this through a work network managed centrally. I connected through my iPad's hotspot, and could enable iCloud, and all the folders are showing. Once connected back onto the work network, nothing downloads (or is doing it excruciatingly slowly).
Interestingly I can add stuff to the Windows iCloud drive, and these upload and show up elsewhere in iDevices, but nothing appears to be happening the other way...is it normal for a locked down network to allow access out but not in? Any ideas for getting round it (DropBox and OneDrive work fine on the same network)?

I'm getting a "can't access icloud" message from all devices.

I'm getting a "can't access icloud" message from all devices. According to Apple the system isn't down. Any ideas? My password is correct.

A full reset fixed the problem.

Can't access icloud tabs on some devices

Hello,
I own 2 macs, an iPhone, an ipad air, and an ipad mini. I am the only user on all the devices, and I am using the same iTunes account. When I try to access icloud tabs on any device, I can see all my devices except the iPads. To clarify, when I access iCloud tabs on my iPhone, I can only see either my Air's tabs or my Mini's tabs, but never both at the same time. Meanwhile, I am still able to see the two macs. When I access iCloud tabs on my Air, I cannot ever see the tabs from my mini, but I can still see tabs from all the other devices. The same is true of the Mini not seeing the Air's tab. When I try to access iCloud tabs on either Mac, I again can on my see one or the other iPad, but never at the same time. Sorry if that was confusing, but basically, it is like the Air and the Mini are being treated as the same device or something along those lines. I just want to be able to see all my tabs at once. I appreciate any help!
Warm regards,
Pf3

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apples Ids?

Can I use iCloud to sync two devices with different apple ID's

What do you mean by "apple ID"? There's an ID you can use at the iTunes store to buy songs, apps, etc. there's an ID you can use for your iCloud account - the two can be different or the same. So which service are you referring to when you talk about an apple ID?

How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices? Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

Call Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac Apple Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

tammersalem wrote:) <-HDMI-> (HDTV)
My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
