Unable to access my iCloud account from any device?

I am unable to log into my iCloud account through the web and apps on iOS and OS X that's connected to iCloud... Now I'm being disconnected from already logged in apps and is making reenter my password, but even when I do, it gives me an error. On the website all it says is 'iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to server'. But when I tried using my old iCloud account, it was easily accessible... Can somebody help me out? This is very inconvenient...

The Apple Support Page, http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/ has the following on the status:
iCloud: Mail & Notes - Users Affected: <1%

I am unable to access my iCloud e mail account and am still able to access AOL account though. It says something about an IMAP pathway and a port number how do I find this?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am not able to access my icloud account as the apple id it defaults to no longer exists and when i try to use it by resetting the password it says email verification sent but I never receive anything. It is hung up on verifying and I can not do a thing

The apple id I used to set up my ipad no longer exists and it is the same id for icloud and itunes. I have changed my apple id but can not access my icloud account to change the id. I am hung up on "verifying" and have tried everything. It does not send any emails verification even though it says it has sent it. I have trie the security questions and it says wrong birthdate but it is not the wrong birthdate. I can not delete the account without a password and when I enter the password that was originally with that id it says wrong password. As a result I am not able to update twitter, facebook, etc and basically unable to do anything until I can delete and reestablish this icloud account.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.

No email access to iCloud account

My iCloud account is different from my iPhone Apple ID and don't remember my iCloud password. I no longer have access to the iCloud email anymore so I'm unable to delete my iCloud account to use my current iCloud account. How am I able to change it without access to my old iCloud account email??

Go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.

HT204053 I am unable to access my icloud

please help .. i am unable to access my icloud , whenever i try to access it with my apple id or try to make new free apple id it says "maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this ipad" but i haven't activated any other account except for my existing apple id. please help i am in desperate need to access my icloud...

You need to be running Mac OS X 10.7.4 Lion or later to have iCloud.
Download it or a later version (Mountain Lion or Mavericks) from the Mac AppStore.
You haven't mentioned what version of OS X you're using now which is important when asking for help, but you need OS X 10.6.8 to access the Mac AppStore.

TS3988 unable to sign into icloud account

Help. I am unable to sign into Icloud account. Am able to access other services. I am also unable to access my email account through my Galaxy note 2

There's an iCloud issue right now. See: http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

HT4061 I can't access my icloud account and the verification will not come through because of that and I can't remember the password

I can't access my icloud account and have tried everything,

I FOUND THE SOLUTION!
I had the same exact problem. I had my old apple ID connected to a school email which did not exist anymore. My ipad (ICloud) was prompting me to put the password in for that ID and I could not delete it from my ipad because the "Find My Ipad" was turned on, once again prompting for password. I called apple and they said this Apple no longer exists and is not in there system, which I knew already. After hours on the phone nobody could help me. Try this.
-Go to create a new Apple ID and use the same email address as the old apple ID which is locked in on your ipad
-Create a new password and all that, it will say it send a verification link to your email, in my case my email no longer exists so I could not do this
- I called Apple to explain this problem and I asked if they could verify it for me, which they did after I convinced them it was worth a try. The guy told me that the verification shouldnt matter and should still be able to login but he did it anyway. You can try skipping this step but if it doesn't work then go ahead.
-Go to ICloud and click on your account, the email should be grayed out but it should allow you to change that password, put in the new password which you just created.
-This allowed me to sign in to accept the new terms and conditions but it said "unable to conncet to server" so I just backed out and went to "Delete Account" and it worked!
The whole idea is to re-create your old apple ID into Apple's system and then use that new password. The guy at Apple said tons of people called about this problem and nobody could solve it. I thanked him for helping me and he thanked me for helping him. I hope this helps you!

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
iCloud then three options
set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly. So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though . Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar. Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend. The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking). Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem. I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

I believe that all iPhones, purchased in Egypt, from official sources, are sold as carrier locked. So, your phone was hacked by someone so you could use it in Germany. Sorry, but that's what happens to hacked iPhones.
No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple, and since none of the carriers in Egypt offer official unlocking, your choices are not good.

HT204053 How do I access multiple iCloud accounts

How do I access multiple iCloud accounts with a single IPAD?

You can set up an additional "secondary" iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar>Add Account>iCloud and entering the ID and password. There are some restrictions on secondary accounts.
Only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My iDevice. Also, Push Mail only works for the Primary Account; Secondary Account Mail is Fetch.

You can't get anything to your Android device from iCloud.
If you had backed up to iCloud you could restore a new iOS device using that backup file.
