Icloud does not work on my Mac Book

Hello!
Yesterday I changed the passwort for my Apple ID.
I can connect to iCloud.com, but on my Mac Book I write the Passwort and it never connects and there is no error notification.
Whats is wrong?
Thanks for your help.

You might try the following.
You may be able to skip the first few steps and go straight to #5.
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trash the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

    I have seral email accounts on my Mac. One does not work on the Mac but works on my iPad and iPhone. The account information was added on the Mac. I keeps rejecting my password.

    You don't input the information in manually for iCloud mail. It is automatically set up for you when you sign into iCloud via System Preferences and choose the Mail checkbox. Sign out of iCloud or deselect Mail in iCloud preferences. Open Mail's preferences and choose accounts tab. If iCloud account still exists in the list, delete it. Sign back into iCloud or check the box for mail. The account will be auto created for you.

  • Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work

    Since upgrade to Windows 8.1, ICloud does not work.  I could click on buttons for Reminders, Notes, etc. and would take me into ICloud to share with other devices. No longer functions.

    Hi:
    I can't help you with why your PC won't upgrade to W8.1, but I can tell you that if you manage to get W8.1 to install, you won't be able to get the graphics to work anymore.
    There is no W8.1 driver for the graphics setup in your PC.
    So maybe it is a good thing that you can't get it to work. 

  • Sync between my iPhone 4s and Mac Book Pro with OS X and iCloud does not work. Why?

  • Transfer from Mac to iCloud does not work

    Hello,
    I failed to transfer any data from my Mac (OS X 7.3) to the iCloud. I use Microsoft Outlook (Calendar, Mail and Contacts). The Calendar and the Contacts are mirrored to the local iCal and address book. However, nothong gets synchronized to iCloud. ICal and address book are empty (exept for the Apple and my address). I would need to transfer these data to an iPad and iPhone I'm planning to buy.
    I also cannot transfer any other data (including photos) to the iCloud. Only "Search my Mac" works.
    What am i doing wrong?
    MobileMe also does not work, I cannot log in with my vaild Apple ID. Since this will shut down sooon I'm not concerned but maybe these things are connected?
    Regards,
    Axel

    Microsoft Outlook is not compatible with iCloud as Microsoft have not yet added support for the industry standard CalDAV and CardDAV protocols that iCloud and other similar services uses.

  • I had an old version of firefox & it made me upgrade to a newer version, however once I upgraded it said it does not work with my Mac that is a OS 10.4 & not I cannot access or download firefox, how can I download a older version for my Mac?

    I had firefox on my computer and it made me download the newer version, but once I downloaded it, it said it does not work on my computer which is a Mac OS 10.4 and now I cannot use firefox at all on my computer. How do I download an older version that will work on my computer?

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
    The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

  • FrontRow does not work on my Mac Mini

    I purchased the new Mac Mini (Intel) and after syncing with my old computer, FrontRow does not work.

    I had the same issue with my new Intel Mac mini. I fixed it by re-pairing the remote with the Mac mini.
    To do that, press the Menu and Next buttons on the remote at the same time and hold them for a few seconds.
    When I did that, Front Row started fine, and since then has functioned normally when I simply press the reote's Menu button.
    Hope this helps.

  • ICloud does not work with Thunderbird 7.0.1.  Any resolution?

    Migrated to iCloud from MobileMe and reset imap server and password on Thunderbird per Apple guidnace (article HT4864) for third party setup.  Does not accept password or reach server.  Webmail access to iCloud via browser works fine, so password is correct.  Any resolution or ideas?  Thunderbird worked fine with MobileMe.  Can I go back to MobileMe until Apple gets this figured out?  (windows 7 prof, TB 7.0.1)

    You see, that happens if one does not read the famous "minimum system requirements". They are not stated for joy and fun.
    In other words :
    on OSX Lion  you must use iCal/Adress Book/ Apple Mail
    on Windows Vista and Win7 you must use Outlook 2007 or 2010.
    "Thunderbird" is just some "other" clients. And it is nowhere written that it is supported. Just like nowhere is written that XP or some older OSX is supported. Nex time read the requirements better.

  • Icloud is not working on my mac

    Hi, Im having problems with my icloud - my mac will not play the music I have uploaded. This is the first time it has happened, and I have used icloud for months (maybe a year now). Any help ?

    Same here in the UK.  I have no access to my music in iCloud from iMac, MacbookPro, iPhone5 and iPad(3).
    All OS's are up to date. I can access iTunes and download new music from there.
    iCloud Backup is working on the iPhone but much slower than usual.

  • IChat screen sharing does not work on my Mac Pro

    I have a weird iChat screen sharing problem that i can't seem to resolve on my Mac Pro. Ever since i got my Mac Pro in early 2008, using the screen sharing feature in iChat has always been flaky. I have never gotten to the point of getting it consistently working. Lately, i have not been able to get it to work at all.
    Most of the time, when i choose to share my chat target's screen (or when i share my screen), i would be able to see my chat target's screen and use the mouse for several seconds before the shared screen session is ended. The errors that i am getting are:
    +"Disconnected from Screen Sharing because:+
    +No data has been received for the last 10 s..."+
    +"There was a communication error during your chat.+
    +No data has been received for the last 10 seconds. You can send+
    +details about this problem to Apple to help improve future versions of+
    iChat."
    On other occasions (mostly when i am trying to troubleshoot this issue by testing in the same network with my Powerbook, which is on 10.5.6 as well), i get this error:
    +"Disconnected from Screen Sharing because:+
    +Screen sharing could not be established."+
    I have tried to do screen sharing via iChat with other Macs in the same network and also on the internet but with the same problems.
    Initially, i thought this may be router related. But the fact that iChat screen sharing on my Powerbook works perfectly both in intranet and internet eliminates my router as the culprit.
    I have also tried disabling the OSX Firewall but the outcome was the same.
    I read some posts that there may be issue with using the external iSight web cam. I unplugged it, cleaning up all the iChat-related caches and preferences and tried again but with the same result.
    I have also tried connecting to iChat using several different account types (mobileme, .mac and AIM) but the end result is the same.
    I run a Ubuntu VMWare fusion VM on my Mac Pro as my webserver. I thought that may be the problem. Shutting down the Ubuntu VM also does not help.
    Applecare support personnel also instructed me to re-install iChat but that did not help as well.
    One interesting error i noticed in the system.log (seen via the Console app) that is generated everytime iChat screen sharing fails on my Mac Pro:
    +12/23/08 12:32:00 AM /Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat[507] error getting server version+
    I am really running out of ideas on what else i can do to get this resolved.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

    The audio and video chat portions of iChat work fine.

    I managed to make some headway in my attempts to troubleshoot this problem. I did a fresh Leopard install on one of the drives in my Mac Pro. I then proceeded to update it to 10.5.6. After that, i launched iChat and attempted screen sharing with my Powerbook. The first few attempts failed, with the following symptoms:
    - i would be able to see and control the Powerbook's screen
    - after 5 seconds, my screen sharing session is disconnected
    I then unplugged my external iSight. After i relaunched iChat, i managed do screen sharing in iChat without being disconnected!!! When i connected the iSight back into the ACD, with iSight off, i attempted to screen share again. This time, it failed after about 5 seconds, just like earlier. I then turned iSight on. This time round, the screen sharing session was not disconnected!!
    So in addition to the iSight issue, something in my original Leopard startup disk is causing iChat screen sharing to fail because even when screen sharing was failing on my fresh Leopard install, i do not see this error:
    /Applications/iChat.app/Contents/MacOS/iChat(507) error getting server version
    So if i can figure out what is causing this error to show up in system.log, then i can manage the iSight issue.

  • IPhoto does not work on my mac

    Everytime I try to open my iPhoto on my 15' Mac Book it gives me the same message - The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
    I have restarted - requested the upgrade - it can run for hours and nothing changes. It has been like this for well over three months.  Please help. I would really like to view photos on my mac

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    when you get that message do you give the go ahead to upgrade the library?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?
