HT204085 Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud

After the newest update, my iMac will not let me sign in to iCloud. This is the error it reads: Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud. Both my iPhone and iPad are fine, just not on iMac. Can't find any help!

I had the same problem. I've even tried reinstalling osx.
the solution is to delete
NetworkInterfaces.plist
in
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
then reboot. The file is recreated and iCloud works again.

Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.

About 2 weeks ago this error popped-up at random. Since then I have not been able to sign-in to iCloud or download applications from the Apps store. The same AppleID (and password) works fine on my iPad for iCloud and the App store for iPad. Obviously I would like to try and upgrade my OS to see if that might fix the problem, but I can't because I can't download anything from the App store. Please advise. I haven't installed any software on this computer in ages so there were no changes to the computer prior to the error message popping up. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try the following.
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.

What version of iPhoto do you have on the Macbook and on the iMac? What systems are you running on the Macbook and on the iMac?

"Could't sign in because a server error" but all iCloud services in green

Hi!
I've just made a clean installation of Yosemite. When the assistant asks me for my iCloud account, the answer when I try to login is "Could't sign in because a server error". If I try to log in via icloud.com the answer is "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". If I try to sign in via System Preferences the answer is "You can't sign in at this time. Try sign in again"
but:
- iCloud services are all ok (https://www.apple.com/es/support/systemstatus/)
- I can go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and I can log in with my iCloud id.
Creating another user has no effect.
Can anyone help me, please.
Thanks a lot.

Seems like the firewall was preventing iCloud to sign in correctly. I've tried from another network and the login was succesful.
I hope this could help anyone.
Thanks

Unable to sign out because computer died

One of my computers died and I'm not able to sign out of CreativeCloud on it. I'm unable to access Creative cloud because I've used the two computers allowed and the dead computer is one of them. I can't seem to find a way to do this online. Help!

I keep trying to sign into my iCloud on system preferences but it keeps saying it is unable to communicate with iCloud

I keep trying to sign into iCloud on my system preferences but it keeps saying that its unable to sign in because of a problem communicationg with iCloud, and i've tried to create a new account but then it says i cant create one at this time.

Welcome to the Apple Community Abbey.
Try the following, it won't cause any problems if it it doesn't work...
Navigate to Macintosh HD > library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart the mac. Now try again.

I am "unable to sign in" to Youtube from my new appletv - suggestions?

I Am trying to set up my new apple tv - in particular - I am trying to watch youtube - but am "unable to sign in" - "this account cannot be used with apple tv - " try again using a different account" - I am not sure sure what this means nor am I sure what to do to get a different account - suggestions greatly appreciated - thanks from London, Canada

This happened once to me, I did a factory reset on my ATV3 and it worked for me.
Try that,
Assuming you are using a gmail account, do you use the 2 step verification? If so you need to create an app specific password to use when logging into youtube on the ATV.

I am unable to sign in to my wi fi network on my ipod because the keyboard wont come up. what do i do?

i am unable to sign in to my wi fi network on my ipod because the keyboard wont come up. what do i do? please help me out

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and when i try to sign up for imessages or facetime it says that it is unable to verify email because it is already in use. How do I fix this???

If this is the problem following the instruction. Frequently it is a hardware problem.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
Otherwise try (assuming that other devices see your network)
- A reset. Nothing wil be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power of and then back on your router.
- Reset network settings: Settings>Genral>Reset>Reset Network Settings

Every time I sign in, it signs me out immediately. I've tried deleting the opm file and it's unable to do so because "Adobe CC is currently running this file." I've also changed my LAN settings and downloaded something else that was supposed to help me out but nothing seems to fix the problem.

I think you'll find that the official Adobe advice here is misguided. First, deleting bits of the program and program data is, as you've noted, perilous and often impossible. Shame on Adobe for doing such a poor job of coding that such steps are needed.
The solution I recommend is as follows:
Restart your Windows machine and boot in "Safe Mode" with networking using the F8 key just as Windows starts.
Go to the Control Panel and select Programs. Find and Uninstall "Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop".
Reinstall it by downloading it from the website https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud
Restart your machine.
Only in "Safe Mode" are you likely to be able to accomplish these tasks reliably.

Unable to Sign-In to iCloud Because of an Old Account

I just upgraded to Yosemite. My MacBook Pro asks for the password to an old iCloud account with an old email address I don't have access to and don't remember the password for. This old account is the only one my MacBook Pro recognizes and now it has been shut-down because of a "problem", probably because I tried to have the password sent to me by answering the Security Questions and it told me I got my birthday wrong. Of course, email verification goes to the old account.
iCloud is set up fine on all iOS devices.
How can I delete the old account and/or get my MacBook Pro to recognize the current account?

Hello Jtfenwick,
It sounds like you change the Apple ID but did not sign out of your iPhone before you made the change. To resolve the issue, you need to change your Apple ID back to the old account and then sign out of iCloud to satisfy the prompt. When changing it back you your old account it will not ask to verify. Once you are done, you can change it back. For more information, take a look at the article below.

Unable to sign in to ovi store and download apps

I received two download links from the Nokia website upon request. Clicking on the link gets me to the download site and it asks me to sign in or register if I don't have a Nokia account. Whoever designed this was either on drugs or intoxicated, because without a nokia account they don't send you a download link in the first place. Since I do post this message here, I obviously did register and have an account. The problem is, my username and Password is not being recognized and it sends me into a never ending loop, with other words I am unable to sign in and download the application.
i am at my wits ends and I am fuming at Nokia for giving me such a hard time to download a simple mobile app.
My phone model is the E71x and both apps I received the link for are supposed to be compatible with this model.
Has anybody ever had a similar problem? Please enlighten me if you know the solution.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think I got the solution!!!!!
Yesterday I was so fed up with it, spending from 09:00 till 22:00 trying to fix this, but finally it works on my Nokia E72.
I noticed that every time I filled in my username, it first showed me alternative names and texts. When I chose the right one, it put an extra space behind it. Then I found that this auto tekst thing was messing **bleep** up.
Open a new text message ( SMS ), fill in a receiver, and subject and then go to the message text field. Than hit the 'options' button. Scroll down, until you find an option like text options. ( I have a Dutch version here ). Because I hate my computer/phone to interfere with thing I type I de-selected all options and voila.... it works.

Certificate issues Active Directory Certificate Services could not process request 3699 due to an error: The revocation function was unable to check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013

Hi,
We have some problems with our Root CA. I can se a lot of failed requests. with the event id 22: in the logs. The description is: Active Directory Certificate Services could not process request 3686 due to an error: The revocation function was unable to
check revocation because the revocation server was offline. 0x80092013 (-2146885613). The request was for CN=xxxxx.ourdomain.com. Additional information: Error Verifying Request Signature or Signing Certificate
A couple of months ago we decomissioned one of our old 2003 DCs and it looks like this server might have had something to do with the CA structure but I am not sure whether this was in use or not since I could find the role but I wasn't able to see any existing
configuration.
Let's say that this server was previously responsible for the certificates and was the server that should have revoked the old certs, what can I do know to try and correct the problem?
Thank you for your help
//Cris

hello,
let me recap first:
you see these errors on a ROOT CA. so it seems like the ROOT CA is also operating as an ISSUING CA. Some clients try to issue a new certificate from the ROOT CA and this fails with your error mentioned.
do you say that you had a PREVIOUS CA which you decomissioned, and you now have a brand NEW CA, that was built as a clean install? When you decommissioned the PREVIOUS CA, that was your design decision to don't bother with the current certificates that it
issued and which are still valid, right?
The error says, that the REQUEST signature cannot be validated. REQUESTs are signed either by itself (self-signed) or if they are renewal requests, they would be signed with the previous certificate which the client tries to renew. The self-signed REQUESTs
do not contain CRL paths at all.
So this implies to me as these requests that are failing are renewal requests. Renewal requests would contain CRL paths of the previous certificates that are nearing their expiration.
As there are many such REQUEST and failures, it probably means that the clients use AUTOENROLLMENT, which tries to renew their current, but shortly expiring, certificates during (by default) their last 6 weeks of lifetime.
As you decommissioned your PREVIOUS CA, it does not issue CRL anymore and the current certificates cannot be checked for validity.
Thus, if the renewal tries to renew them by using the NEW CA, your NEW CA cannot validate CRL of the PREVIOUS CA and will not issue new certificates.
But it would not issue new certificates anyway even if it was able to verify the PREVIOUS CA's CRL, as it seems your NEW CA is completely brand new, without being restored from the PREVIOUS CA's database. Right?
So simply don't bother :-) As long as it was your design to decommission the PREVIOUS CA without bothering with its already issued certificates.
The current certificates which autoenrollment tries to renew cannot be checked for validity. They will also slowly expire over the next 6 weeks or so. After that, autoenrollment will ask your NEW CA to issue a brand new certificate without trying to renew.
Just a clean self-signed REQUEST.
That will succeed.
You can also verify this by trying to issue a certificate on an affected machine manually from Certificates MMC.
