Can't login to iCloud thru Contacts

I just updated my business iMac to Mountain Lion - my home laptop has already been updated. When I did, I also had to change my Apple Password. In any event, my phone started issuing questions to update my login for various things (Photostream, etc). The same thing on my iMac. However, for some reason, Contacts (and ONLY contacts) won't accept my new login - it says it's not correct. What's up with that? Haven't seen this issue on here before. Anyone know why?

How are you trying to connect? Are you using a browser and https://www.icloud.com for access?

Can't login to iCloud messages and FaceTime

i can't login to iCloud imessages and FaceTime.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait for it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
           ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
          Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound outputand Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but still doesn't work when you restart in "normal" mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.apsd.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 12
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 13
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).
Step 14
Reinstall OS X.
Step 15
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support. When you set up a support call, select "Apple ID" as the product you need help with, not the hardware model. That way, if you're not under AppleCare, you may be able to talk your way out of being charged for the call.

I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you.

Well, you're gonna have to recover the password for that Apple ID:

Hey jamesarm97 & diegofoto,
On August 21st, some users may have been unable to access iCloud services for a short period of time. Apple worked quickly to resolve these issues, however you two may have experienced them. To check the current status of these systems please see:
Apple - Support - System Status
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
If either of you are still experiencing issues, you may want to troubleshoot with the following articles:

Can not login to icloud at this time...

Hi
So, I do not get this. I have tried to setup an icloud account for my dad on his MacBook Pro running 10.8.2, using his Apple id.
It just says that it can not login to icloud at this time, but I can login icloud.com using the same user/password via safari.
So, what is this ?? Anyone with a similar experience ?
Thanks.

Workaround - works
I backed up and deleted the children's accounts on the Mac, recreated them as normal accounts with no Parental Controls and setup all of the iCould mail and other apps.
I then locked down the browser for sites like google and youtube to use their explicit content blocking.
I then added parental controls to the accounts.
All is now working correctly although there is clearly an issue,
If you can be bothered to do this, you'll be fine.

TS4147 My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account. I want it to come from my GMAil Account. I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL. What can I do?

My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account. I want it to come from my GMAil Account. I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL. What can I do? Is there a way to merge my gmail contacts to icloud?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Apple ID is all of a sudden not an iCloud account. It used to work until a few days ago, but now iCloud can't register the ID and Outlook can't login to iCloud.

My Apple ID is all of a sudden not an iCloud account.
So it says any way. It used to work until a few days ago, but now iCloud can't register the ID and Outlook can't login to iCloud from my pc. Anyone else faced this problem or know how to deal with it?

Ditto here.
I tried setting up iClunk today.....
.....on my Windows 7 64bit computer.
I click on the iCloud icon in the Network & Internet section; the iCloud sign in window pops up and I type in my Apple user ID and password and it replies that I need to setup a separate iCloud account....even though it plainly states that for the user to "Sign in with your Apple ID".
Go figure.

HT204053 How can I login to icloud and retrieve photos and contacts?

I am not sure if I understand icloud. If we backup and have storage shouldn't we
be able to look into the storage to retrieve items? Help?
Sunshinedays99

iCloud does two things independently.
1) Syncs data (contacts, calendars, tasks, bookmarks etc.) between the iCloud servers and your devices and computers setup with iCloud. Most of this data you can log-in at icloud.com and look at, edit or whatever.
2) iOS device backups, which you can use to restore your data to a new iOS device or a newly restored device. You can't see this data, as it is only used for device the backup and restore process. Nor can individual items be restored.

Can't login to iCloud! Really need help!

Hi, i have been trying to find a solution so i can login into icloud on mac preferences but can't, i get this error message;
"You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again later."
I can login to the app store and on my iPhone and iPad. Any help really appreciated!

SOLVED....for me, anyway
Okay, here's what worked for me after upgrading to Mavericks (it should work for you, too):
(1) Deleted all the files in:
User(your name)/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts/
(2) Shut down the computer, waited 15-20 seconds and turned it back on.
(3) Then I went to
System Preferences
iCloud icon
(4) Input the requested information and followed the directions to be back in business.
But, first you must be able to see the folder because it is hidden:
Use Finder and click on Utilities then Terminal
Type in (very carefully) the following exactly:
Chflaga nohidden ~/Library
Then
Finder
Go
Computer
User account name/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts
Remember, the files are under your user account and not the harddrive.

Can't login to icloud

I have had an apple id for quite a while, it's just my username, for example "jsmith"
I use this id for iTunes, and App Store.
however on my new iPhone when I try to setup iCloud it says I must have a "@icloud.com" account. How do i convert my current apple id so I can use it with iCloud?

It tells me to add a device when I user "jsmith"
...very annoying. I can't login until I create an association with a device, but you can't add a device until you login.

Can't login to iCloud on pc

I've lost my iPod Touch and I tried to login into iCloud to use the thing to track it. So I went on the site, tried to login, and it kept saying there was an error. Not with Apple ID or password, but the actual site itself. So, how can get this site to work and find my iPod Touch.

I suffered this problem, too. The error message is useless. I found a fix!
The same problem occurs in iTunes, but iTunes gives a better error message: "0x80090318". I googled the solution.
Open a command prompt as administrator. “C:∖windows∖system32∖netsh winsock reset”. Reboot. Done. Good luck!

Can't login to iCloud on my laptop (windows7) after installation

Can't login to iCloud via System Preferences

I am trying to login to iCloud through System Preferences but each time I get a message saying "You can't sign in at this time. Try signing in again".
I've read about moving the iCloud folder from the Application Support folder, to the desktop, which didn't help.
Does anyone have the same issue since upgrading to Yosemite?

Reset key chain DID NOT, work for me, and I renamed the backup it made back to the original. (Note to others: I may have had permissions or other issues due to the way I upgraded to Mountain Lion by creating a new user and moving things over manually.)
HERE IS HOW I FIXED IT: (I don't know what the ramifications are, so this will make you a backup too.)
I threw away my Library > Application Support > iCloud folder.
In the Finder, choose Go, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library which will appear in the menu.
Navigate to Library > Application Support and option-drag the iCloud folder to your desktop (that will make a copy).
Now drag the iCloud folder that is in Library > Application Support to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
Then try entering your info in the Preference Panel again.
