During setup of icloud on my pc I get a server error

I am trying to get icloud to sync om contacts and calendar with my PC, Macbook, Pad and phone. I have the icloud turned off on all devices and contacts and calendar items removed from everything except Outlook 2013 on my PC. I have all the updates installed for icloud and Outlook and have uninstalled icloud control panel and reinstalled it. I am running the latest version of icloud and when it goes to add my contacts and calendar to the cloud, it gets about 10 minutes into the process and I get a server issue. I try again and the same thing. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is a Quicktime or Itunes issue. It happened after i was updating itunes and Quicktime. Can you help me fix this problem, please?

I am trying to link my PC to my Mac and Iphone and I pad. I can't use my Itunes account on my PC - when I try and enter Icloud on my computer i get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password.

Question - Trying to use Icloud on a PC - I get a server error after I put in my e-mail and password. Why? I can sync up all my devices from Itunes with my MaC, Iphone and IPad but I can't do it with my PC

I regret that you're having trouble setting up your email, corbad! You're on the right track with your incoming email address. You might also try incoming.verizon.net or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as possible alternatives, and 995 as the port number. Please let me know how that goes!

Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

Here's the sequence of events:
Setting up a new iMac.
Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
Now, the problem:
Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
Rebooting doesn't help
Ideas?

never mind the problem is gone this morning.

My icloud account was locked yesterday due to server (iCloud) Faillure 26/11/12. PM
I cannot use the account because I canot answer my security question right. Also my second e-mail adress was no activated, so I cannot activate the icloud account via e-mal
What Can I do?
Thank You

It would worth your asking in the Final Cut Pro X forum - someone else may have experienced the same problem.
I assume you have already trashed Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dotmac... (several files beginning with this) and (same path) com.apple.idisk - though I suspect the problem lies rather with the individual programs which are trying to access something on the non-existent iDisk.

Log in iCloud and iTunes windows 8.1 fails "server error""

I have a brand new HP 15 windows 8.1 laptop. It will never log into Apples servers. I tried ethernet and wifi and the same "server error" is reported.
This bug has been reported for months and I do not know of any solutions that will allow it to log in. Anyone using iCloud or iTunes on windows 8.1 please
let me know how you made it work.
thanks,

Hi,

2014-06-15 21:24:24, Info                  SP     CCompressOldOS::DoExecute returns: 0x80070006

According to this description, the problem should be occures when installation trying to compress old OS to Windows.old file, but encounter some problem.
In my opinion, this problem probably caused by security software that prevent this operation. If you installed any security software like ESET, Avast, etc. Try to uninstall them and retry to upgrade your system for test.

Everytime I try to setup and email alias I get a server error. What gives?

I've been trying for days to set up and email alias and this is what I get. Am I doing something wrong or is iCloud having issues?

Same thing here. Called Apple 3 times. They keep saying they have server problems and that I am not the only one affected by this.

I use a pc. i keep getting a server error messge trying to upload photos to my iPad and iPhone via iCloud. the error states can't update photostream, server error.

uploading worked in the beginning, but in the last few days it has not. how should i proceed.

Go into Settings, iCloud on your iPad & iPhone. Turn streaming on there. I did that when I first set up my phone & iPad & have not had any problems. It will only stream over new photos so take one on your phone & see what happens. I hope that works for you.

ICloud can't sign in because of server error, itunes can't find my iphone

2nd topic, iTunes won't even acknowledge my iPhone is plugged in, again i've exhausted all support forum topics
Can't believe how many problems I've been having with iphone, its my first ever one, moving from samsung where I was perfectly happy, but for some reason I always thought I wanted/needed an iphone, how wrong could I of been.
Please help me, I've lost all faith

2) Type cmd and press enter
you will see a new window
3) type "netsh winsock reset"
4) restart the machine

If still does not work you must disable the firewall and antivirus

So I have just had my potentially duff hard drive replaced and uploaded my data from time machine to discover that pages is now speaking to me in a different language. The keyboard has been selected as UK during setup. How do I get back to qwerty?

So I have just had my potentially duff 1Tb hard drive replaced by apple and uploaded my data from time machine only to discover that pages is now speaking to me in a different language. The keyboard has been selected as UK during setup. Any idea how I can get back to qwerty?

What exactly are you referring to? Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language? Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).

TS3991 When I try to use Outlook Setup for the iCloud on my PC I get an error message at step 2 of 7 Download Calender from iCloud as follows: "your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error"

When I try to set up MS Outlook using Outlook Setup for Icloud it fails at step 2 of 7 Download Calender from iCloud with error message "your setup could not be started because of an unexpected error" My iCloud calender in Outlook had previously been working, but was not reflecting the same scheduling information, so I tried to delete it and reinstall using the Outlook Setup for iCloud.
How can I get it to work again?

I can't sign in my iCloud on Windows 8. It keeps saying there's a server error. Can anyone help me?

Can't Sign into My iCloud on Windows 8 because of a server error.
I've tried to off my firewall, but it is still the same.

Hey Esther Siew,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues signing into iCloud on your Windows computer. Are you attempting to sign into the iCloud control panel? If so, check out this resource:
iCloud: iCloud Control Panel setup cannot be started - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203796
“Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server stopped responding.”
or “Your setup couldn't be started because the iCloud server couldn't be reached.”
1. Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting the settings you've chosen in iCloud Control Panel. If you are setting up iCloud for use with Outlook, check that there aren't any issues with Mail, Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders.
2. Make sure your computer is online. In a browser, attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud contacts, calendars and tasks cannot be added to Outlook. If you're using Windows 8, review the instructions for resolving network problems. If you're using Windows 7, review the instructions for troubleshooting internet connection issues.
Thanks,
Matt M.

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.
