  • HT201407 I am trying to loginto the icloud control panel and I keep getting a message saying cant sign in cause of server messages. Can anyone help?

    I am trying to set p my photo stream on my desk top. It says I need to log into Icloud control panel! Everytime I try to do that I get an error message that says can not sign in cause of server message! HELP?

    Next day the problem still continued.  I did restart my computer a couple of times and then "it worked".  Not sure why - if it really was a server problem or something on my side.

    I cant log in to iCloud Control Panel on PC it says "You can't sign in because of a server error" but there is no problem with iCloud status. It will be the first time i open Control Panel. I already restarted it.

    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

  • Solution to iCloud control panel 4 sign-in server error under windows 8.1x64

    Potential solution for icloud 3.1 and 4.0 installation and iTune store sign-in, all showing errors or sign-in errors due to server error.
    My setup is Iphone 4S upgraded to ios8, ipad Air still on 7.1.2, windows PC on Win8.1x64 and with icloud 3.1 working fine till I tried to
    upgrade/install/re-install 4.0 icloud control panel after upgrade to ios8. See end of message for other alternatives I had tried.
    This worked for me.
    There seem to be some programmes that is conflicting with Apple's, so download this free program autoruns suggested by Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    Run the program and choose the the "Winsock Providers", any other programme that shows up here except Bonjour (which is used by Apple) may be conflicting with the sign-in.
    Uninstall those potentially conflicting programs
    Inside autoruns->Winsock Provider, right click on the conflicting programs and choose delete. This would stop the conflicting program to start up
    again. Reboot the computer
    Install icloud control panel, sign in
    If works, reinstall those conflicting programs again and all back to normal, with iCloud control panel working
    If doesn't work, my mojo not strong enough and you need to google for more help.
    Other activities I googled, tried and failed
    a) Adding Apple icloud program and services into the windows firewall
    b) Uninstall version 4.0, re-install 3.1 (about 10 times)
    c) create a new Apple ID to sign in
    d) Sign out of icloud from my devices (iphone and ipad)
    e) switch to Android devices

    You need to edit the MSI installer and change the Launch Condition to allow iCloud Control Panel 3.1 to be installed on Windows Server 2008 R2.
    First, download Orca, an MSI editor. You can get it from the Windows SDK. (Download and only check the box for "Development Tools" under Native components during installation, then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin and install Orca.msi)
    Launch Orca and then find the iCloud(64).msi to edit.
    If using Apple Software Update, browse to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update and open iCloud(64).msi in Orca.
    Or download iCloudSetup.exe and use a zip program (7-zip) to extract the MSI from the exe and open it in Orca.
    In Orca, select the LaunchCondition table and look for the condition "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 1)". Change the number 1 to a number 3 so the condition should read "(VersionNT >= 601) AND (MsiNTProductType = 3)". Save and exit Orca.
    Then double click on the msi and it should install successfully now.

  • I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles. Can you help?

    I downloaded the iCloud control panel on my PC but can't sign in - message says "This apple ID is valid but not an iCloud account. I've tried the account set up several times but it keeps just spinning me in circles, asking me to sign in and then I get the same message again. This is getting frustrating and I really don't seem to be able to get help. I can't contact customer support because I have a PC and there is a serial number of an apple device required.Can anyone help please?

    You can't setup (create) an iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device, a Mac or an iPhone etc. Once you have created an account you can sign in from your PC.

    You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC.  You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher.  After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

  • ICloud Control Panel: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."

    iCloud Control Panel:
    Installation of icloud control panel was successfull. After entering the correct Apple-ID and pw this error message appears: "Couldn't sign in because of a server error."
    Firewall is deactivated.
    It worked once after the command: "netsh winsock reset" in cmd.
    Since then the issue reoccures so it's impossible for me to use things like Photo Stream.
    So what might be the reason for this connection problem?
    Thanks!
    Johnny

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

    Hi,
    Are you running any Anti-virus software or do you have your firewall turned on? If so, disable them and try again. If that doesn't work, delete the iCloud account and then sign it back on again.
    Make sure you are running the most current version of the iCloud Control Panel:
