Iphone 4 icloud unable to connect to server

I just upgraded my iphone 4 and I can not accept terms and conditions for icloud as it can not connect to server

I had this issue on my wife's iPhone 4 after updating to IOS 7.0.3. After turnning on Location Services (it had been disabled during the upgrade setup) everything began to work again. My guess - Apple uses some strange geolocation data to show you the correct terms and without it, it cannot determine which server / page to pull it from failing with the ridiculously useless error "Unable to connect to server".
There is a good chance the people installing "Find My Friends" inadvertantly enabled Location Services (required) when installing this app and "fixed" the problem that way.
I hope this helps someone, I know these forums have been a great help in the past!

  • "unable to connect to server" on my iPhone?

    I'm having trouble getting my iPhone to connect to the iCloud server to receive mail etc.  I've tried several times and I keep getting a message that says "unable to connect to server". Any ideas how I might fix this?  Thx...

    Hello, bills47. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would first start with forcing the Mail App to close then attempt to access your account again.

    If the issue persists, the easiest way to troubleshoot this issue would be to delete the account and add it back to the iOS device.  Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles.  The first article covers basic email troubleshooting.  The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

    I just figured out the problem with my grandma's iphone.
    Settings>iCloud>Delete Account
    IT WILL NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT. it just takes it off the phone. then you can log back in, and BAM, You're good   I hope!
    Hope this helps.

    In the icloud settings, I am told I need to accept the terms and conditions to use icloud. However, when I click on "Terms and conditions", I get a message "unable to connect to server". This has been happening for a week now since I upgraded to iOS 7.06. There is no problem with my wifi or cellular connectivity, all other applications work perfectly. P.S.I have never used icloud before, but wish to do so now. How do I overcome this problem?

    Have you turned the iPad off then back on? That often helps with problems.

  • How do I accept the icloud terms and conditions if i'm "unable to connect to server"?

    How do I accept the icloud terms and conditions if i'm "unable to connect to server"?
    Or how do I stop the incessant pop messages that tell me I need to do this?

    Hi Mark,
    Try resetting your device and try again: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears. Once the Home screen comes back up, see if the next time the Terms & Conditions popup displays you are able to log on.
    You can also try deleting the iCloud account and then signing back in again: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and Delete. Follow prompts to complete Delete, then sign back in again.

    Check this. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is correct as well.

  • ICloud email signup: "unable to connect to server"

    Trying to sign up for the iCloud email account on iOS6. Whenever I get to set where I submitting my desired name to be added to the "@icloud.com" part, this popup appears saying this
    "Cannot Create Apple ID
    Unable to connect to server."
    what's going on? are their systems down AGAIN?

    I just went through this. After many support calls, it turns out my email address I was using to sign up had been used a long time ago for perhaps a MobileMe account. The phone didn't say the address was in use but when I went to sign up online for the AppleID at appleid.apple.com it said it was in use already. I did a password reset and then used that email and password to sign into iCloud on the phone and all worked perfectly.
    So, I'd try signing up at appleid.apple.com, and see what happens.

  • HT4436 When I tap on Terms and conditions of iCloud, it reads'unable to connect o server', and can't access information.

    I can't access to info on iCloud. It requires to accept terms and conditions, but when I tap, it reads'unable to connect to server'. The problem is he e-mail for the iCloud is no longer valid. How can change the iCloud iD only? The Apple iD for the rest of the apps is working fine.

    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

    Try the following.

    Restart the device.
    Sign in again (Settings > iCloud, don't use the 'Create New Apple ID' button).
