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.

  • HT204053 I am getting an error message when trying to sign into my icloud. Help

    Why do Iget an error message when trying to sign in my icloud?  Can you also tell me how to combinned my icloud accounts?

    If they were in your camera roll and on your phone when you last backed up, they would be included in your iCloud backup.  If you restored the entire backup you should recover them.

  • TS3988 I tried to sign into my icloud on my PC with my appleid and it gives me this "this ia a valid id but not an iCloud ID", can anyone help?

    Why can't I sign into my iCloud with my AppleID?

    Hello schrandt167,
    Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you have an Apple ID that is not yet an iCloud account.  You can establish your Apple ID as an iCloud account on an iOS device with iOS 5 or later or a Mac with OS X Lion or later:
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.

  • The "welcome to Thunderbird" pop-up keeps on saying "sorry were unable to communicate with our sign-up server", how do you get past the step and create a new em

    I tried to turn off the firewalls to no avail and have, on multiple occasions tried to complete the setup for a Thunderbird email account and continue to get the same message, the pop up flashes in red "sorry we are unable to communicate with our sign-up server"
    any ideas how you result this issue?

    If it works, the sign up page will connect you to a 3rd party email account provider such as hover or gandi who will require payment. Is this really what you want to do, given that your ISP and other providers (gmail, gmx, hotmail, yahoo) will be happy to give you an account for free?
    To connect an existing email address to Thunderbird, use the route '''File|New|Existing Email Account'''.

    Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
    Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages.  This should also sign you out of iCloud.
    Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
    If that does not work
    Skip the iCloud sign in
    Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
    Change your Apple ID to the old one
    Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
    Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
    Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password

    Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • Trying to sign into icloud... error message states 'server error' what is that??

    Hi,
    You obviously have OS X 10.9.2 as the latest version arrives when you Upgrade.
    What were you using before ?
    If you were using an OS X prior to OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion's second update) then check the Serial Number is present.
    Use the Apple (Icon) Menu top left.
    Select About this Mac.
    Click twice on the OS X version.
    It will show you the Build Number and then the Serial Number (if it is present)
    If it is not you will need to visit and Apple Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider to have it replaced.
