Cannot login to iCloud with Yosemite

Hi everybody,
a few weeks ago I updated my iMac to Yosemite. It all works fine except that I cannot login to iCloud with my wife's account.
When she logs in into her iMac account it sometimes appears a Mac configuration screen. It seems that everything's ok, because
the configuration finishes without error message, but when I look into the System Preferences -> iCloud her iCloud account is not active.
When I try to login with her ID a message appears "You can't sign in at this time. Please try again later."
It also doesn't work when I go into the System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and try there to login into iCloud.
It really bothers me because I didn't find a solution. And also I don't understand why it works with mit ID on my iMac account.
There is no problem to login with her ID on the Apple page, I've already tried that.
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trash the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

  • I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to access iCloud?

    I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to the original apple id in order to access iCloud?

    Gosh, this is full of great information and I need something a little bit deeper - and because I'm not a techy - can I explain...Apple ID changed a year ago from a work email to a personal email.  No longer have access to original email..... New email and Apple ID worked flawlessly until today - every 3 seconds Sign in to iCloud pops up.. with the old work email.  I enter the password - which is the same... and it says invalid. 
    I tried to delete the icloud, but you need the password and it says "find my phone" is on... i turn it off,  and it's the old email... and the password again doesn't work, of course. 
    I am left stratching my head... I sync my phone and my correct, up to date email is in the Apple ID sections...
    What am I doing wrong.. talk slow to me please, lol.

  • Problem login to icloud with same credentials that work on iPhone, MBP, iPad

    I tried to find similar problem, but I couldn't.
    I have [email protected] AppleID that I use for iCloud (the one I am posting from is completelty separate because it is connected to my Trainer resources) on my MacBook Pro, mini and iPad for some time. Few days ago I bought iPhone 5 and I wanted to login to iCloud from it, I couldn't so I reset my password. After some problems, I managed to login from iPhone, iPad na MacBook Pro, and I could login to www.icloud.com using AppleID [email protected] with new password.
    Yesterday I tried to login from my Mac mini and I couldn't. Then I tried login to www.icloud.com from several browser and from all devices, I even tried from my firend's Windows machine. However, my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad uses iCloud without any problems, the password is also working since I could get to a dialog displayed on included screenshot, and in order to do that you have to choose to manage iCloud storage from iCloud preferences and then to click on "View account" button which asks for password.
    I tried login in with [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and just plain madamov as AppleID, no luck. Anyone had a similar problem?

    To add followup: this was fixed by itself after a week or so.

  • Users (admin user too) cannot login to Xserve with OS X 10.4.11

    The admin user cannot login into the login window directly on the server, I tried Using the install CD, and changing the root and admin user password and SSH from a terminal MacBook Pro with the command line: "ssh root@XXXXXXXX", it seem like is blocked or maybe the user expired.
    The system: Weblogs, QuickTime Streaming, is working fine. I have connected (optical fibrer) a Xserve Raid and is working too.

    This is not a direct solution, but might help you see what is going on. Check out this webpage with instructions how to get to the console screen from the login window - http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020318020806482

  • TS3988 Not able to login to icloud with my apple id and password

    Not able to login to icloud online. with my apple id and password, getting an error.

    Have you already set up the account in System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device? If so are you sure you are using the correct ID? - many people have different IDs for iTunes and iCloud, and it's easy to get them confused.

  • I recently changed my Email for my iTunes account, now I cannot login to iCloud, how do I change my iCloud email address?, I recently changed my Email for my iTunes account, now I cannot login to iCloud, how do I change my iCloud email address?

    I recently changed my AppleID, now my iCloud email is prompting me to enter my new password, when I enter the password that I use for my new AppleID it is incorrect for iCloud. I need to change the ID for iCloud, but I cannot find where do change it.  I am not very technical so please answer on my level;)

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I cannot open dmg files with Yosemite

    So installed Yosemite. All seemed fine but
    I now cannot open dmg files. If I double click on them, nothing happens. If I say open with "diskimagemounter" nothing happens. If I say open with Disk Utility it says wrong version of Disk Utility. If I move them back to a computer with Mavericks, they open fine. Repaired permissions and no change.
    What do I do please?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Download and reinstall the 10.10.1 update.

  • HT5824 cannot login to icloud on phone, old user id causing problems

    Help, I have an old user id that was backed up onto my computer. I got a new iphone 5s and restored from computer instead of from icloud. Now i can't sign into icloud on my new phone and cannot turn off "Find iphone". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have gone to the icloud.com web site there is no trace of the old user id.
    That sounds as though it's the same account with a changed address. If so...
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
    If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
    On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
    Tap iCloud.
    Tap Storage & Backup.
    Tap Manage Storage.
    In the Backups section, tap your device.
    In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
    To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage.

  • Travelling in Mauritania, cannot log into icloud with my PC netbook. I can read my mail on my iphone, but I get a message that "icould is not available" when I try to open it on the PC. It's very annoying as it's not so easy to type on iphone!

    Very strange. I have a PC netbook that I use when I travel, and here in Mauritania, when I try to log on icloud to check my mail, it tells me that it is not available or the server is down - the internet is working for everything else. I can read my mail on my iphone, connected to the same network. Is there some reason ou can't open icloud on an iphone and a pc at the same time?

    Been looking for similar posts, surprised I haven't found more, because I'm fairly certain that there is a current problem with some parts of Apple's server network: I have 3 iCloud accounts in Mail on my Macbook, and 1 of them (annoyingly, my main one) has not been able to connect for an hour or two. And both of the others wouldn't connect for a few minutes, but are now working again.
    More suprising is that trying to log in to webmail (www.icloud.com) is giving a very unhelpful error message, suggesting the server is down. Everything else Internet is working fine for me, and haven't changed any settings, so fairly sure problem is Apple's end.
    It's possible that your iPhone is collecting your mail via a different server route that is still working; my three iCloud accounts are collecting via p02.imap.mail.me.com, p09.imap.mail.me.com and p99.imap.mail.me.com, and it's only p02 that's consistantly not working.

  • Cannot open Photoshop CS5 with Yosemite

    I was so upset when I couldn't open Photoshop. I then saw that I needed to upgrade to Legacy Java SE 6- I can't find it ANYWHERE. I upgraded to the latest Java from the Apple site, and it STILL won't allow Photoshop to open.
    Then IO read that someone said to re-install Photoshop - which I did. It STILL does not open.
    I am infuriated that Apple would let this upgrade to Yosemite go through without checking that Photoshop would work with the new OS. I am so angry- I am losing business every day that I can't open photoshop!
    If anyone has an answer to this problem, I will be forever in your debt.

    No, but it shows you the problem is on your side if it is working fine for others. It is not Apple's fault. Adobe had access to all beta releases of Yosemite to get their compatibility right, which, as far as I can see, they did. Perhaps you have other third part anti-virus or security or cleanup programs installed that are notorious for conflicting with a healthy Mac. You can try posting an etrecheck report for analysis as many others have done and solved their issues.

  • I cannot log into icloud with Windows 7 64 bit system.

    It was working for about two months without a problem and then it ceased working about 2 months ago.  I just get an ongoing circle as if it is trying to log me in, but no luck.  I can log in on icloud website however.

    Curt, since I purchased a new laptop, I had to deactivate CS4 on my old laptop, uninstall, and install CS4 on my new laptop with my disks and activate. That all went fine, but I can not update the software. CS4 needs to be updated when installed from the original disk, as there are important bugs and resolved issues with the software that are available with the updates that are released after the original disk.
    By "not work", I mean that I am not able to update the software at all so that I may work in the latest version of the CS4 software without issues.
    JJMack, thank you for your suggestion, however, I am not able to manually install the updates either. All updates fail.
    Overfocused, thank you for your suggestion, I will be looking into that, as well as a bunch of other Windows 7 possibles. It may be what you suggested, or it may be a Windows 7 related utility issue or another program with a conflict with Adobe updates in Windows 7 etc.
    I remember a couple of years ago when I got the Vista OS laptop, I spent a couple of weeks to research a major bug that eventually was resolved, it was an Office/Adobe incompatibility issue with infopath running Vista.
    I hope that I am able to solve the issue soon, it has been a week so far with no resolve. If or when I find a fix to this issue, I will post it here.
    Thank you all for your help and suggestions, I really appreciate it.
    All the best,
