I keep getting an error that "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". What's up?
I've been getting an error most of the day that says "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" on my pc. Also, anything I update on either iPad or iPhone does not update on the other device. What's up?
Hello pongo19,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
How to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service (AMDS) on Windows

Close iTunes and disconnect the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Click the Windows Start button .
In the Start Search field type Services.
In the Programs section of the search results, Click "Services".
Select Apple Mobile Device and click Stop the service as shown below:
After the service has stopped, click Start the service.
After the Apple Mobile Device service has started again, open iTunes and connect the device.
Set the Apple Mobile Device Service Startup type to Automatic
Remove and reinstall iTunes and AMDS
Best of luck,
Mario

On my Mac Mini, I keep getting this error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". I don't have any problems with iCloud on my laptop / PC. It works fine... Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Your Mac must be on Lion (10.7) to run iCloud. Apple had to change the operating system to fully support it. Nevertheless, it is possible to get emails from iCloud without having Lion. Please tell me if this interests you.
Anyways, here is the link to buy Lion (30 dollars, totally worth the upgrade ): http://itunes.apple.com/be/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12

I am unable to connect to icloud from my windows-based laptop and get the following error message: "icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
I would remove the email account from mail and then set it up again.
If your are able to long I via owa though without the auto fill, then we already know the user name and password are correct.
Let me know if that works. -
I want to access my Icloud account through my office computer but every time I get a message saying ''iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server''
My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7. -
When trying to sign in to iCloud, I always get the message, iCloud has encountered a error while trying to connect to the server. How do I get in????
Hello,
Try following step and check if issue gets resolved or not.
Find Acrobat.exe on your computer. Right click the program and click 'Troubleshoot Compatibility'. Set the compatibility to Windows XP service pack 3.

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.

Was using iCloud just fine on Mac and iPad and suddenly can't access it from either devices.
When reviewing the settings on iPad a "verification failed, could not communicate with the server" message pops up.
When trying to access iCloud account on icloud.com a "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server" message pops up.
Meanwhile iCloud no longer works on both devices. (Apple ID works fine on Manage my Account)
I don't remember changing any iCloud settings but I was working on email account settings when this happened....Any ideas??I have the same problem. This happens multiple times a day. I answer some questions and then unlock my account and then before long it all happens again. Extremely frustrating as I don't have a clue how to solve the problem.

Connection Error iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server
Hi iCloud users
For the first time I have experienced errors while attempting to connect to iCloud via my PC. Never had any problems previously.
The first error I received was:
"Connection Error - iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"
After a few attempts I was able to connect to iCloud. However I was unable to access my Calendar and Contacts. I received the following error messages:
"Can't load Calendar - There was a problem loading the application"
"Can't load Contacts - There was a problem loading the application"
Has anyone out there experienced this? If so could you offer an solutions/suggestions? Is iCloud not working properly today?
Many thanks & cheers,
SueHi
