Cannot access iCloud using my Apple ID password.

I cannot access my iCloud account.  Yesterday I started getting a message that I need to review and accept the new iCloud user agreement.  My password was rejected repeatedly, so this morning when I got that message, I followed the prompts and reset my password.  The new password word works for the iTunes store and it got me logged in here, but it won't work with the iCloud.
*** am I supposed to do now?
Thanks for any help,
John

Solution:  if you get the "Unsupported AppleID" dialogue following an OS update in OS X on a desktop / laptop.
     1) click "Cancel" button in the dialogue box,
then quickly
     2) switch to the main Preference window ( button in menu bar that looks like several rows of tiny icons)
     3) select the Security & Privacy Preference Pane, go to the Firewall tab and switch the firewall to OFF. (if necessary unlock padlock using your desktop keychain password)
     4) re-open the iCloud Preference Pane where everything should be normal again. Login to iCloud if required.
     5) switch back to Security & Privacy Preference Pane and switch Firewall back ON.
The above
Worked following "unsupported AppleID" dialogue blocked new agreement in the iCloud Preference Pane following upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.3. (March 2015)
I'm not sure which aspect of the Firewall triggered the AppleID issue, it may have been "Block all incoming", or "stealth mode", or…?  It would seem that following significant changes or upgrades to the OS  ones computer needs to re-establish an authenticated handshake with iCloud, by a different than everyday method is normally used to sync documents and data, and that a firewall blocks this initial handshake.
This may explain why some folks who have an effective router based firewall also have problems setting up iPads and iPhones.
Goodluck.
One could have reasonably have expected that Apple (the slackers) would have long since fixed this problem, or at least notified a workaround in the posted iCloud trouble shooting knowledgebase.  This OS centred problem differs, from the earlier ICloud Authentication problem that was server based and affected users with very old  AppleIDs that were flagged "Apple Retail Product Professional" which was caused by iCloud's database not recognising the Flag.

  • Cannot access icloud using my apple ID

    Initial problem was when starting icloud for first time it continued indicating "upgrading" this went on for hours.  I exited and tried to log in icloud again but this time I got the message "unsupported apple id" although this is my id and email address. I don't know how to overcome this.
    I get the same response for either the iphone 5s and the ipad2

  • I cannot access icloud using my apple id, although it works for itunes account

    Initial problem was when starting icloud for first time it continued indicating "upgrading" this went on for hours.  I exited and tried to log in icloud again but this time I got the message "unsupported apple id" although this is my id and email adrress. I don't know how to overcome this.

    Greetings gshirref,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are receiving an error that you are using an unsupported Apple ID while trying to sign into iCloud. For information on this alert, please review the attached article. 
    iCloud: Account troubleshooting - Apple Support
    I get an “Unsupported Apple ID” error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works with the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or other Apple services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you can't use your Apple ID with any Apple services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password.  I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account."  How do I fix this?

    You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

  • Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

    How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • HT204053 I just changed my AppleI D and password and now I cannot access icloud on my phone or ipad.

    Due to unexplained charges to my itunes account I just changed the email address and password associated with the account.  Now I cannot access icloud on my iphone 4s or on my ipad. Help!?

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    The iCloud password isn't saved anywhere on your device, this is the way it's supposed to work.

  • Cannot access icloud, cannot verify account

    With my current apple activie and able to log in to itunes and other apple website, I cannot access icloud with error message "check your email xxx for instructions on how to verify your account.  But checking email, no email was sent.

    Hey Edgew7,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    not recieving email verification, cannot access Icloud'

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
