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

This obviously seems to be absolutely everywhere, despite me following 100 different suggested things by the support forums and security guides nothing works
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

To solve this problem you can:
Windows 7
1) Click on Start
2) Type cmd and press enter
you will see a new window
3) type "netsh winsock reset"
4) restart the machine
should work.
If still does not work you must disable the firewall and antivirus
Para solucionar este problema debes hacer lo siguiente:
en Windows 7
1) click en Inicio
2) escribe CMD y pulsa enter
te va a aparecer una nueva ventana
3) escribe "netsh winsock reset"
4) reinicia la maquina
deberia de funcionar.
Si aun no funciona debes de deshabilitar el firewall y el antivirus

I have not been able to log into icloud from my Windows PC. I keep getting I can't sign in because of server error. I have deleted and re-installed icloud, still nothing. This all happened because I realized my photostream wasn't working. Any help would be great!!!!!

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

"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

TS3988 I keep receiving a message "You can't sign in because of server error"

I keep receiving a message "You can't sign in because of server error" can someone please tell me how do I fix this?

Antonio,
Show ... it worked ... you are the man! This hint of clicking the right mouse button on the prompt and run as Administrator was perfect.
Thank you very much

HT204150 iCloud contacts, they won't save. I get a message stating that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of server error". What can I do?

Some of my edits of contacts in the iCloud contacts will not save. Instead, I get the message that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of a server error". Other, similar, edits are saving and synching to other Apple devices.
Thanks for help

Jeffeighmy - I had this same problem last week. I think it is an iCould issue. It resolved itself. Just frustrating. I had reinstalled iCloud Control Panel and it would not let me save contacts or calendars. Then it just happened after a couple of days of trying. My contacts on my iphone are now duplicated, not in Outlook. Then when I delete one on the iphone it deletes it up through icloud and my pc so I loose that contact. Go figure.

I am getting message 'can't sign on because a server error' clicked 'server status' and that confirms all normal - what do I do now?

Just setting up a new laptop with windows 7, loaded ICloud but rebooting and following instructions to sign in I get the message 'you can't sign in because of a server error' on checking ICloud status, through link, it shows all normal, but still cant sign in? Any ideas?

While you see a single trash can, in reality there are trash folders on each mounted volume. I don't use TM but what you are describing implies that a TM drive is no different with the way trash is treated. So when the TM is unmounted the trash folder on there is gone and thus the trash looks empty. Remount the drive, the trash folder on it now causes the trashcan to look like something is in it.
If TrashIt! could not remove the file, I'm sorry, you will need to use the terminal. We can do this one step at a time so you only have to copy/paste the lines into terminal (except the first time). So launch Terminal (in utilities). You might want to make the window that is shown a bit larger with the grow box since it's pretty small.
This first line is the only exception to the copy/pasting since you have to enter some information.
sudo ls -laR /Volumes/your-TM-volume-name/.Trashes
where your-TM-volume-name is the name of your TM volume. That's the part you have to fill in since I don't know it.
When you hit return the sudo in that command will cause a prompt for your admin password. Enter it and hit return again. Note the password will not be shown as you type it. Post the results so I can tell you what to do next.
Note this ls command is not doing anything but listing the files in the TM's .Trashes folder. Remember I said each drive has it's own trash folder. .Trashes is it.

New Macbook Pro 13 - "Couldn't sign in because of server error"

I just fired up my new Macbook Pro 13 (late 2013). I am trying to sign in with my Apple ID and I get a message "Couldn't sign in because of a server error. Try signing in again."
After trying to sign in again and again and again and again and again and again, I decided that perhaps I can get some help from the support community - because trying to sign in again doesn't seem to be working. I have another Mac that logs in without a problem. I am using a Windows machine to post this discussion without trouble.
I hope this is not an ominous start.
Anyone know how this problem can be corrected?
