ICloud verification failed?

I have recently updated my iphone 4s to the new iOS 7 software, since doing so my imessage will not work (awaiting verification) nor my facetime.
I am attempting a restore on my phone but everytime i go to log off find my phone to do so it says Verification failed.
Any tips please?

I am having the same problem, only with SETTINGS > ICLOUD
I was able to get iMessage to work, but by doing an iCloud log in from here:
SETTINGS > MESSAGES
However, my Address Book is no longer syncing since the upgrade to iOS 7 on my iPhone 4S. I tried to log into iCloud via Settings (as in top line above) and I'm getting Verification Failed after a long attempt. I have tried it in a WiFI environment as well as cellular. I am unable to log into iCloud from the main settings.

  • Ios6.1 update - icloud verification failed

    I have just updated my iphon 4 iOS to v6.1.  All seemed to go well until I 'signed in'. I received the message: "Verification Failed.  The certificate for this server is invalid.  You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be 'setup.icloud.com' which could put you confidential information at risk".  Have I done something wrong or is there a failure elsewhere?  I have put a calendar event in my iMac which has not copied to my phone and, equally a new event on my phone doesn't copy to my iMac. Any help would be appreciated, please. 

    Same for me.  CAn't connect to itunes store or internet either.

  • Verification failed. No update thru iCloud.

    I have 2 ipod touchs and have not been able to update thru icloud for about 2 weeks.  I keep getting the Verification failed error message.  I do have Itunes match.  2 weeks ago I bought an album and it showed up on iPod to download from cloud.  I recently bought another album, but it doesnt show up on either unit.  I don't seem to have any problems with my Iphone 5.  Nothing has changed.  Is apple refusing to honor the older products?  I have noticed that I can no longer update any apps, as they have moved on and little by little I am losing apps.  No problems updating my iphone 5.

    Try powering off and then back on the router
    Try resetting network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    Try when connected to another network
    Update via iTunes

    If you see the white WiFi bars in the upper left corner, that simply means that the iPad has detected a WiFi network, and that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet.
    Can you open web sites with Safari?

  • Icloud verification password failed

    I am getting the same message on both my devices. when I try and enter my icloud password  i get the verification failed or timed out message.  I am running ipad mini on ios6 and ipad air on ios8.1.  I tried resetting the network settings  and I still have this problem, I don't want to upgrade the mini to 8 as it has a lot of adobe documents I will lose in the process.  can anyone shed some light as they were all working fine til a couple of days ago. I havent made any changes bar a password update
    many thanks

    The software version on my iphone (working correctly) was just updated to 7.0.6.
    The software on my ipad is at 7.0.4.
    I have not gotten a notification to update the software on my ipad, and now cant check for updates of software.
    I think this discrepancy in the sw versions could be the problem.
    Any ideas on how to correct it?

  • I have 2 i4 phones.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 but never on the other.  Does anyone have the answer to this.  I have tried to change my password but I still have the same problem.  I keep getting message "Verification Failed The request timed out"

    I upgraded to 2 -  i4 phones with 2 different phone numbers.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 phone but never on the other.  I have changed my my password twice but no matter what I do, I still have the same problem.  I keep getting a message "Verification Failed The request timed out"  no matter how many times I try to sign on it always times out.  Before I upgraded to the i4, I had a i3GS and had the same exact problem.  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
    If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • Verification failed cannot connect to icloud

    Trying to erase and reset my iPhone 5 (since I have activated an iPhone 6) and cannot get past the 'verification failed, cannot connect to iCloud'.  I've been receiving the same message for 5 days.

    Hello kmb1727,
    To start with troubleshooting this issue where you are getting the error "Verification failed, cannot connect to iCloud," I'd like you to please go into your iPhone settings, and reset the network settings.  After that, please try to erase your iPhone.
    Reset iPhone settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
    Reset Network Settings:  When you reset network settings, previously used networks and VPN settings that weren’t installed by a configuration profile are removed. (To remove VPN settings installed by a configuration profile, go to Settings > General > Profile, select the profile, then tap Remove. This also removes other settings or accounts provided by the profile.) Wi-Fi is turned off and then back on, disconnecting you from any network you’re on. The Wi-Fi and “Ask to Join Networks” settings remain turned on.
    Reset iPhone settings - iPhone
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Alex H.

  • When I try to set-up iCloud, I get error message "Verification Failed"?

    When I try to set-up iCloud, I get error message "Verification Failed - The certificate for this server is invalid. You may be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "setup.icloud.com" which could put your confidential information at risk."  How do I get passed this message?

    The only messages I'm aware of are the ones that say that you can't move to iCloud right now because servers are too busy and that you can continue using MobileMe.  I'd try to go back to iClound in your Settings and give it another try.

  • I can't access to my icloud on my iphone, why gives me a message Verification Failed?

    i can't access to my icloud on my iphone, why gives me a message Verification Failed? NO itunes either? No App store either? why?

    It sounds rather like you are only connected via your mobile signal - no data and no WiFi. Perhaps you might want to think about trying it again when you have better connections.

    Just got a new iPhone 6, selling my 5 to Amazon. Trying to follow Apple instructions to erase content before sending but 5 will not connect to iCloud so I can't proceed - when promoted to enter password I keep getting "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud". I have checked apple id/password multiple times and they are correct. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance

    HFJ,
    every once in a while my iPhone 5 fails to recognize my Apple ID. I don't have to go all the way to Restore to Factory Settings, I just have to turn off the phone. (Hold down top button until screen asks to slide if you want to turn it off.)  Give it a few seconds, turn it on again.

  • Why does my iCloud say iCloud has timed out verification failed

    When I pull up my icloud account it says that verification failed and iCloud has timed out?
    <Personal Information Removed by Host>

    Did you ever get an answer to this?  My phone started saying this over six months ago..it says it has never been backed up and icloud doesn't have enough storage.  I don't even have ANY music and only about 100 pictures.  I sync it to my computer all the time and when I do it says it's completely up to date.
