ICloud Server error will not let me sign out
(this is on an iPhone 6)
So Recently I created a new Apple ID because I'd forgotten my security questions. For about three months, I still had that ID signed in on my iCloud, which wasn't a big deal for me as I rarely back up via iCloud. However, whenever it prompted me to sign in, I'd put in the password, which was for sure correct as I changed it twice, it would continually pop and prompt me again. So I put in the password, again.
I Decided I should probably research this problem a bit further, so I went into settings>iCloud. Naturally, I click where my name is displayed. It asks me to sign in. when I do, it kind of glitches by having a window pop up prompting for my password(mind you while its verifying), then for A quick moment you see a check mark next to the password, then the page closes itself, taking you back to the majn iCloud screen. I then get a popup that says "A server error has occurred"
Any Ideas? It would be greatly appreciated! If you need pictures I'd be glad to put them up
If your device is signed into an old ID ("email address") that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

My Apple iPad is stuck on the update in iCloud will not let me sign out of it or do anything in icloud. How can I get it to stop running. I have tried everything that I have looked up online and nothing works. Every time I put in my apple ID it disables me. Ugg I am frustrated!
Have just seen the answer to this in a another thread.

Firefox will not let me sign out of my Yahoo email account. What could be causing this?
For several weeks, I have not been able to sign out of my Yahoo account. I checked for updates and I'm up to date. I'm using Windows XP.
- Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
- For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
- Instead, try restoring from backup. -

When i try to sign in to icloud it says my apple id is valid but not an icloud account? & therefore will not let me sign in?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Go to the 'Go' menu in the Finder and hold down the option key to reveal the Library. Then navigate to library > preferences > system configuration and drag the 'Networkinterfaces.plist' file to the trash and restart for mac. Now try again. -
I did not do my research before changing my Apple ID from an outdated email address to a current one. I just changed and verified and though I was all set. WRONG! Now I cannot sign in to iCloud because it will not let me enter the new Apple ID. I read the 10/30/13 randers4 post to just change your Apple ID back then sign in and change it to the new email address again and then you can sign in, but I cannot change back to the prior email address Apple ID because that is no longer an active email account (or at least not mine). Any thoughts on how to get signed into iCloud when it does not allow me to type in the new Apple ID and the old Apple ID no longer exists.
I see that many people have asked, but no one has come up with a solution that I found.
Thanks for any help!This did not work for me. My old email account for iCloud still pops up on my screen every time I open my macbook. I've deleted it, reset it, every thing I can think of and it still shows up. I think six months of this is more than enough time to wait.

Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is. -
Need help... getting an error message "not enough storage" for icloud and it will not let me get passed the message
See if this helps.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
My iMessage will not let me sign in. The error message "Please check your network connection and try again" keeps popping up. I am connected to wifi.
Welcome to Apple Support Discussions,
Have you tried:
Turn FaceTime or iMessage off and then back on in Settings.
Launch Settings by tapping the icon on the Home screen
Scroll down to Messages or FaceTime
Toggle the switch from on (green) to off (white)
Wait a minute
Toggle the switch back to on (green)
Wait for it to re-activate
Hard reboot your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
Make sure you're on Wi-Fi
Hold down both the Home button on the front, and the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device
Wait for the Apple logo to appear
If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1 (turning FaceTime or iMessage off and on)
Reset network settings
Launch Settings by tapping on the icon on the Home screen
Tap on General
Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap on Reset
Tap on Reset Network Settings
If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1, then step 2, above (Turning FaceTime or iMessage off and one, rebooting).

Editing any user profile, when I try to save the change I get the error: no existing connection from which credentials can be copied. It will not let me get out of the screen. I have to close the Server App to get out. Any suggestions?

Face time will not let me sign in with my new password
face time will not let me sign in with my new password?
Same thing for me. I'm getting an error message that states "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." I've been trying for the last two hours, off and on, and keep getting the message. I've re-started FaceTime as well as re-strated my MacBook. This is just after changing my AppleID password - both iTunes and my Apple account are fine with signing in using the new password.

Since I installed Leopard, I also get the same -9844 error message any time I try to do anything in the iTunes Music Store. I've installed iTunes 7.5 and that doesn't fix the problem for me.
Strangely enough I was able to download two free singles of the week on the iTunes Store but that's the only success I've achieved. I hope Apple fixes this problem soon. -
I have an itouch that will not let me sign in to my itunes account. The email address that it is associated with is no longer valid. I keep entering the correct password but it says that it is incorrect. I can’t get a reset all of my credentials don’t work. Now all my apps won’t work. it looks like they load for half a second then disappear. What can I do?
