ICloud won't log in on my Macbook Air running Yosemite, says "You can't sign in at this time"

When trying to log in to iCloud, I get a "you can't log in at this time" message every time. I have no idea how to fix this issue. My password is correct since it works on my iPhone, and i have changed it too see if it would fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated since this effects me using Yosemite and my MacBook in general.

I ended up rebooting the Mac and resetting network preferences on the iPhone. Works now. It's a pity that was necessary after doing something so simple as changing my Apple ID password.
The continuity/handoff reliability situation is a little flakey at the moment (as is that with AirDrop).
Also, and the settings required to set these great technologies up are byzantine in complexity on both platforms - it's a shame, as this kind of convergent approach is Apple's chance to set itself apart, but as things stand, very few will manage to set them up.

    Could you help me allow to resolve this : AOSKit ERROR ?

    Reset key chain DID NOT, work for me, and I renamed the backup it made back to the original. (Note to others: I may have had permissions or other issues due to the way I upgraded to Mountain Lion by creating a new user and moving things over manually.)
    HERE IS HOW I FIXED IT: (I don't know what the ramifications are, so this will make you a backup too.)
    I threw away my Library > Application Support > iCloud folder.
    In the Finder, choose Go, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library which will appear in the menu.
    Navigate to Library > Application Support and option-drag the iCloud folder to your desktop (that will make a copy).
    Now drag the iCloud folder that is in Library > Application Support to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
    Then try entering your info in the Preference Panel again.

  • What can I change to gain access to my work vpn.  I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers.  Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

    What can I change to gain access to my work vpn.  I can access with my MacBook Air and other routers.  Can use my ipad and this time capsule to successfully access the VPN.

    You need to give us a lot more info.
    I presume the MBA and the TC are the combo that doesn't work, although you don't clearly state that.
    If the ipad and TC work.. are you sure the ipad is connected via the TC and not 3G network?
    If it is then the TC itself is fine and the issue might be setup on the MBA.. although if the MBA works with other routers.. that rather confuses the matter.
    You need to actually tell us how the TC is setup in the network. What kind of broadband modem you have and what kind of vpn you are using.

  • ICloud - can't sign in at this time

    I have iCloud working via my Safari browser and my iPhone. But when I try and log-in to iCloud via my iMac's system preference I continually receive the following message, "you can't sign in at this time. try signing in again." It has been manifesting the same behavior for over 1 week. Any ideas? Stumped the Genius Bar. Really could use your help! Thanks.

    Okay, here's what worked for me after upgrading to Mavericks (it should work for you, too):
    (1) Deleted all the files in:
    User(your name)/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts/
    (2) Shut down the computer, waited 15-20 seconds and turned it back on.
    (3) Then I went to
    System Preferences
    iCloud icon
    (4) Input the requested information and followed the directions to be back in business.
    But, first you must be able to see the folder because it is hidden:
    Use Finder and click on Utilities then Terminal
    Type in (very carefully) the following exactly:
    Chflaga nohidden ~/Library
    Then
    Finder
    Go
    Computer
    User account name/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts
    Remember, the files are under your user account and not the harddrive.

    The best approach would be to take the iPad to the school's IT person and see what is going wrong, why it will not accept your sign-in.  That person can make sure the userid and password are correct on the iPad.

  • Cookies repopulate after use Safari Preferences Privacy. Safari Clear All History works, but also logs me out of site to which I'd like to remain logged in. I use a MacBook Air, running Yosemite 10.10.1.

    Hi,
    I have an update so I thought I would share in case any other users are experiencing a similar problem.
    I made an appointment with the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
    I went in and they ran a thorough diagnostic check on my Macbook Air and determined that the sensors were indeed faulty - several were providing no information "No reading" instead of providing a temperature. Thus, the Air was unaware of the temperature across multiple components.
    Despite the laptop being outside the 12 Month Manufacturer Warranty, the Apple Store determined that it was covered under warranty through Australian Consumer Law - the laptop is now in for a complete repair under warranty at no cost to myself.
    I couldn't be happier.

  • Can I migrate an old MacBook (2008) running Lion to new MacBook Air running Yosemite?

    Hey all,
    I'm planning on helping my aunt migrate her trusted old 2008 MacBook (white, non-alu) running OSX Lion 10.7.5 to a brand new MacBook Air running Yosemite.
    Is such a migration between the mentioned two versions possible? Or is Lion 10.7.5 too dated for a successful migration to Yosemite?
    I hope someone can provide an answer - I would like things to go smoothly for her.
    Lemme know

  • Resetting macbook air running yosemite

    I am trying to reset a macbook air running yosemite.  When I get to to OS X Utilities, I try to connect to the wi-fi but it tells me "could not be joined"  doesn't give me the option to put in the password.  Now going to utilities and selecting "Join Other Network" I can get to where I can type the network name and password but then i get "No network found"... Anyone has encounter this?

    Older versions of the OS used to work just fine.
    For the last time, the Mac OS has never been able to write to a NTFS partition without 3rd party software. So, if you were able to do it in the past, you had to have been using some software that you can't remember installing.

  • ICloud keeps saying that I can't sign in at this time.

    I have a MBP 17" (older model) running 10.8.3 and when I try to log into iCloud, it says "You cannot sign in at this time."  Alll my other devices (iOS devices) are able to log in and use iCloud, but not my laptop.  I tried repairing my keychain, and that didn't work.  I then tried resetting my keychain, and that didn't work, either.  What's up?  Any ideas?

    Judging by the many posts, it seems icloud is down for many users but not all.  It's probably a server thing - some still working, others being down.  Keep reading the posts here to see when things will be getting fixed.
