Icloud 4.0 on windows 8.1 wont let me sign in

Hello,
I am new to this forum.  I am experiences a problem that I think many other user might be having and I thought that I could solve it myself over the weekend, but all my efforts have been futile!
My problem is that the iCloud desktop app is installed on my system, but it will not let me sign in.  I get no errors of any kind, it just sits at the log in screen with the spinning progress meter for all eternity.
If I type the wrong password it lets me know, and it even asked me for my verification number for the two step authentication. So I know its making some kind of contact to apples servers.  After I enter the information it does nothing. It just sits there endlessly spinning trying to connect!
There are many things I have tried, I'll try to remember them all:
1.  Restarting my computer
2.  Uninstalling and reinstalling icloud, and all Apple programs from my system
3.  Deleted these files:  C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Internet Services
3.  I have tried disabling my windows defender and windows firewall
4.  I have even connected my computer directly to the modem, thinking maybe my router was blocking something
5.  I have tried using different DNS servers, I changed from Googles to Comcast and back again
6.  I have also flushed my DNS servers and followed directions that had me type something like winsock blah blah into a command prompt, not certain what that does
Things used to work with iCloud 3.1
My PC at work connects but the only difference I know of is that my work machine is using windows 7
Next, I am thinking of creating a new user profile on my machine to see if that works and possibly resetting windows 8 settings.
Does anyone have an ideas that might help me?
Thanks

The error message says "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor"
I am trying to update iCloud to 4.0 by installinh iCloud64.msi on Windows 8.1.

    I got rid of AMDS, ASU ,QuickTime and iTunes from control ones I also found folder in Vista with D:\Users\Rick\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library and there is one dated 2009-03012.itl. I moved this file up one folder and delted existing iTunes Library.itl. iTune still failed to identify my iPhone. There are other files iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Geniyes,itdn and iTunes Music Library,xml date dtd 06/18/2009 after upgrade except the latter which is date 06/23/2009. So something is not allowing me to pull or put everything back to when it worked.
    YES this is my only iPhone and only PC I have access to with iTunes.
    Here is what Apple gave to someone Sunday 28 June:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035950&start=75&tstart=0
    I checked these out too and they appear the same printed out nearly a week prior. I agree with Coach TO, if I had bad drivers or Vista errors it would not have shown up only when I updated to latest Version of 8.2.023. My Phone was identified on a PC with iTunes at the local AT&T store. He suggested I get phone into Recovery made while connected to iTunes and that resolves the problem 9 out of 10 time. Weak spot was he tried to get phone into Recovery without iTunes connection and thought I may have iPhone problem, then changed his mind when it worked while connected. He also stated it could take an hour. I have not tried to put my iPhone in Recovery lately, I think I did a while back and it failed to go into Recovery as error "iPhone detected by, not identified..."Has anyone tried forcing phone into Recovery? I understand you may lose all that is on phone. If iTunes still fails to identify would we not be in worse shape even if iTunes holds a recent backup which it does not for many of us? Will Apple take back or exchange phone if yours is not identitifed, AT&T today told me I had to go to Apple Store for this or anything to happen.

  • I signed out of my MobleMe and it wont let me sign back in.

    I signed out of my MobleMe and it wont let me sign back in. I have been trying to see what I can delete from my Icloud so I don't have to buy storage, so my phone will back up. I have hardly anything on my phone for apps my largest is camera which is 2.0GB. The rest are small MB or less. I tried to sign out of my moble me account and i know the password and account name which is saved under the keychain access on my comp. but now when I try to sign back in it says my account name is invalid and or my password is incorrect. What in the world do i do now???

    Updating Snow Leopard won't help.  You need to Upgrade OS X to Lion or higher if your system will support it.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, and are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, or you need Mountain Lion rather than Mavericks for software compatibility reasons, youcan contact the online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you should be aware that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run on Lion or above.  You may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • I love Firefox 3.6 but lately it wont let me sign in to google,on XP Pro or Vista home,Please Help

    Firefox 3.6 wont let me sign in to my Google acc any more, so I cant use Bookmarks etc now, on XP pro or Vista home(we have 2laptops) I am also getting the msg URL not valid/cant connect, even thought I try to load from my 2nd Tab with the 9 pages on it. I put firefox on all my pals&family's laptops & now its happening on theirs also, and I keep getting asked to upgade to the latest version.....I did this last year Version 7 I think but it didnt work well so I had to go back to Firefox 3.6. I do realise that the 3.6 is getting old and will have to be replaced, but which version to choose as there are so many??? I need the new Firefox to work as good with Google search,Bookmarks etc and Utube, TV & iplayers and MSN Games online, So do I fix this one or download a new one as I will have to for the others also,We use XP Pro & Vista mainly. Please Help...Thanking you,yours sincerely..liamo777

    Google changed the logon URL for various services and the Google Toolbar is trying to logon to the wrong domain. Google isn't going to be fixing the Google Toolbar add-on for Firefox, they announced back in July that they were discontinuing it for Firefox 5.0 and later versions.

    Me and my daughter shared her Apple id but when we updatedto ios7 it merged our messages and contacts so i made a new one for my iphone however now it wont let her use her icloud it keeps saying wrong password and when she tries to reset it it says wrong birth date! it wont even send a reset message to her email address! Please Help!!!

    Your story is all well and good, but your husband FIRST threatened to call the police and report a theft the store was perpetrating, which they were not. Yes, the package was addressed to the customer, but that customer was YOU and YOU were not there.
    YOU should simply go down to the store, retrieve YOUR package and thank the store for helping to prevent identity theft.
    The store said YOU could come down and pick up the package. Did they tell you SOMEONE ELSE could do so???
    It seems the easiest way to have resolved the issue would have been for YOU to go pick up YOUR package.

  • I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I Accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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 iPhone, 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 iPhone 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.

    Christian,
    You are seeing the result of Preferences>Type>Highlight Substituted Fonts
    You must have at least one missing font, so there is something to sort out.
    In other words, Illy is kindly trying to tell you that you are not looking at the font you think you are looking at. She is always very helpful.
