Com.apple.accounts error 18

I can't install new apps to my iPad, instead just getting the error code "com.apple.accounts error 18"
What does this error code mean and what do I need to do to be able to install apps again on my iPad?
(iOS is fully up to date, as are all currently existing apps. I can update everything fine, I just can't install new apps)
Thanks

I have now managed to resolve the issue, despite this appearing to be a unique problem.
After quite a large amount of googling, I noticed that other people that just had issues with iTunes and the App store not allowing updates, downloads etc were frequently caught out by not having a credit card set up. As such,
i then looked to see how to access my billing info to check that everything was up to date on my end. To do this, one goes to settings>App Store>AppleID and then should be presented with a dialogue box letting one choose to view account info. When selecting to do this, I got bounced the same error. Thus I concluded the problem must be with the ID. Further attempts at accessing or updating my info didn't work (you can't just do so online without connecting to another computer etc, as that is clearly more user friendly...) so I guessed there would be little harm in just signing out and back in again - it might at least give me the recursive login problem instead which is possibly fixable. Needless to say, I didn't have the recursion issue, and was able to sign back in fine, and finally access amd update my billing info. The credit card I had been using was cloned a while ago so obviously it had been cancelled, and I think this is what caused the initial issue, while Apple's paranoid purchasing system meant that it was never flagged for my attention.
SO if you've stumbled upon this article suffering from the same issue (at the time of writing I know this to be a unique support posting) I hope this solves it for you. If not, I'm feel sorry for you, and you'll likely be crap out of luck and on your own - welcome to Apple tech support.

Error: com.apple.appleaccount error 403
Recreate Error: On a Iphone/Ipad device that has "already" created the maximum of 3 per device Apple limit of ICloud account creation attempt to create or login to ICloud service tab in Settings. You will be presented with "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" which does not tell the laymen anything useful.
Cause: IOS 7 reports a "best guess" error instead of detailed error explanation.
How To Resolve Error: Find a device that has not been used to create an ICloud account the maximum 3 times and use it to create the ICloud account by logging into the Settings/ICloud tab with the Apple ID you want a ICloud account created for.
Keep in mind this will use up one of the three lifetime allowed ICloud account creations allowed by Apple on that device.
Also per support: If an existing account is logged into the ICloud service. A. Backup phone using iTunes on a mac/pc. B. At bottome of Settings/ICloud Delete the account "AND" all the user date from the phone. It will offer the Delete all data option. The reason for Deletion(and is why we backed up on a pc vs. the cloud) is when you create the new ICloud account it will backup all of the Device owners information to the wrong persons account.
Once you have created the new ICloud account log into that account on device that was presenting error: "com.apple.appleaccount error 403" it should allow the ICloud login.
Once you have verified the "device with error" is ICloud functional delete the ICloud account from the device used to seed the ICloud account and delete again all user data from cloud. Restore the recently created mac/pc Itunes locally created backup to the phone and then go to Settings/ICloud and login with the device owners Apple ID and password and verify your backup to the ICloud settings and Eureka! your done.
It took less time to do that for me to type this lol.

If you've already reset the password and changed your payment information, then the next best thing to do is call Apple directly and ask for iTunes Billing Support. Your account is likely disabled on their computers as part of their fraud prevention protocol. You may have to verify yourself as the account holder to get the account enabled again.
Good Luck!

ICloud - error "com.apple.applecount error 403". How can i access it?

Hi,
I am using iPhone 4S and updated to iOS 7. But when i try to login into iCloud it gives me the error "com.apple.applecount error 403". How can i access it?
Kindly guide me how to signin to iCloud

I searched for you and found this answer:
com.apple.appleaccount error 403 is the "best guess" error presented by IOS 7 when it see's the 3 user creation limit is reached and you attempt to create a new ICloud account by logging into ICloud on phone that has used all 3 account creation limit set by Apple.
Fix: go to a different Apple device that has not burned up its 3 per device ICloud account creations and setup the account there.
NOTE: you will use up one of the 3 maximum ICloud account creations on the device you use.

This often means that you have already created 3 iCloud accounts on your device. Each device can only create 3 iCoud accounts. Once you have done this, you cannot create another. You will either have to use one of the accounts that have already been created, or create a new account to use on a different iOS device or Mac.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Are you trying to create a new ID, how many ID's have you created already on that device.

Why i cant sign in icloud .. (com.apple.appleaccount error 403.)

please help me..i cant sing in icloud .. (com.apple.appleaccount error 403.)

Are you using a Windows computer.

Why can't I import my phots's fom my digital camera? I get this error message The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)

The com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error may be a system issue. Try applying this updaters:
OS X Lion Update 10.7.5 (Client Combo)
OS X Lion 10.7.5 Supplemental Update
and then try again. Also try reformatting the memory card with the camera, take some test shots and try importing those photos. This is to rule out a card issue.

Error "The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9922.)"

I have an HP officejet Pro 8500 printer that I always use to scan documents.
Sometimes I get an error message and the scanner won't scn, but when I restart the printer it works fine again.
Howerver, today as usual I was trying to scan some papers and I got the error message. I restarted the printer but there is still an error message when I try to scan. Then I started to get a message says "The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9922.)"
Any ideas what this is and how to resolve it ?

Now I started to get this message
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9929.)
