I can't sign into iCloud from my iPad

When I try to sign into iCloud on my iPad using the Settings app, I get the message "User name or password is incorrect".  I know that's not the case because I just signed into iCloud on my computer using exactly the same user name and password.
Moreover, when this happens the Settings app locks up.  I can't dismiss the alert that says the user name or password was incorrect.  I have to force quit Settings app to do anything else with it.
I've attached a screen shot of the Settings app and the alert message.

I just figured it out.  I had to manually delete my Mobile Me account from my iPad before signing into iCloud. Problem fixed.

  • I can't sign into icloud from my system preference!!

    We have two desk top mac's OS X 10.9.3.  We switched the house computer to our office and visa versa.  After unplugging it and setting it back up the one now in the house will not let me sign into my iCloud from the System Preference area. (the other works fine) I have tried everything.  I know I am using the right ID and password because I can sign in online but nothing will let me sign in under the icloud system preference and get my icloud to connect to the cloud information.  HELP it's making me crazy  I have spent the whole day trying everything.

    I can sign on with two different id's (that are email addresses) and both use the same password.  And I can sign on to icloud.com via Chrome and have no problem.  But when I try to sign on to icloud via system preferences it tells me invalid password with one of the email addresses and that I can't sign in at this time - etc. with the other email address.
    I think I give up and am going to haul it into our computer store tomorrow.  I just want to scream at this point.
    None of it makes any sense.
    Thanks for trying to help me.  I do appreciate it!!

  • Can't sign into iCloud from my iPhone

    I Go to website using iPhone.  It wants me to choose set it up on iPhone, but all the settings already are set when I walk through the setup.  It still won't take me to a log-In page.  able to sign in from Mac.  All my photos are now in iCloud Photo Library (enabled on iPhone) but can't access them from iPhone.  Help please.  Running 8.1.2

    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.

  • Why cant i sign into icloud from my laptop?

    I have an acer netbook. When i first got icloud on it it worked great. For a couple weeks, maybe more i have not been able to sign into icloud from my laptop.

    I am logged into icloud on my phone. But cannot get into it on my laptop.
    Anybody know a fix for this?
    If so lots of details please.

  • Can't sign into iCloud in the pref pane.

    I can't sign into icloud in the pref pane.  I get a pop up asking me to log in again and under the username and password it says my user or password in invalid.  This is kinda curious since I can login with the same user/pass to itunes store and icloud on my ipad.  On my wife's user account I was able to set up her icloud with no problems.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same problem. Did you find any solution?
    All services connected to my Apple-ID works fine, apart from login into iCloud prefpane.
    I tried creating a new user, and that could actually log into my iCloud account. But my main account is having this problem though.

  • I can't sign into iCloud. It says the maximum number of accounts allowed has been used. iPad is secondhand. How do I clear it of previously used accounts.

She also sent some docs to my kindle app through iTunes. I just tried to update Amazon an got asked for password for her email address instead of mine.

  • I can sign into and use iTunes but I can't sign into icloud.

    I can sign into and use iTunes with no trouble but I can't sign into icloud. It makes me think I must have a different password. I go to the reset password area and choose via email but the email never comes. It's not in junk. I don't know what to do

    Hi Adam ...
    Make sure you have logged out of the iTunes Store then try logging in to the App Store.
    And try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store. Click Account right side of the App Store window and see if you can login.

    Hello Martin,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iCloud account on your Mac.  I recommend signing out of iCloud first:
    On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

  • Still can't sign into icloud in system preferences after many calls with support.  Beyond frustrated!

    Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID?  I may have a solution.
    When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in.  On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out). 
    Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code). 
    To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords".  These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not.  This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
    This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!).  Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled.  Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
    Hopefully this may solve yours

  • Can't sign into iCloud, just hanging

    I am unable to sign into iCloud from my Mac. I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. After I've entered my password, it just keeps on spinning. Before this, it denied my password, even though my password was correct, so I followed the instructions by pas70 here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4063142?start=0&tstart=0
    Not sure what to do at this point.

    Hi trilobyte13,
    I've got the exact same issue.
    First Mountain Lion mentioned that my password was incorrect. After changing it several times, the problem wasn't solved. Right now when I enter my password (system prefs > iCloud > enter your password to continue using iCloud), it just keeps spinning.
    In the Keychain preferences I pressed the 'Reset My Default Keychain' -button and restarted the Mac. Unfortunately the problem still occurs.
    I have this issue on both my iMac and Macbook after I updated to Mountain Lion.
    Hope someone could give us the solution?
    Cheers!
