This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud ...

HELLO.
The moment I start/open Mail, Mail shows a message (translated from Dutch):
"This Mac cannot make connection with iCloud because of a problem with <my-account>@mac.com. Open iCloud-preferences to solve this problem."
And it shows 2 buttons: [Later] and [iCloud-preferences].
Pushing [Later] results in the same message (this is a loop).
Pushing [iCloud-preferences] results in the opening of "System-preferences" ... but I cannot find what is wrong.
Because the message comes again and again it is not possible to write and/or read a e-mailmessage.
I can open <www.icloud.com> and I can send messages with <www.icloud.com>. My Mac syncs also addresses, notes, etc.. without problems ... so my accountname and password are correct.
Please: tell me what I have to do.
John, The Netherlands.

HELLO AGAIN.
The problem with the popup-message "This Mac cannot ..." still exists.
The anoying thing is that I cannot do anything with Mail ... the popup-message appears again and again.
I've read all the advises and followed them ...
Systempreferences / InternetAccounts: I cannot remove my iCloud-account (** [MESSAGE] **)
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot remove the "V" off Mail
Systempreferences / iCloud: I cannot log out (** [MESSAGE] **).
My username (ending at @mac.com) is correct.
My password (XXXXX) is correct.
I can access iCloud.com (Mail, Addresses, ...).
I can access this support-pages.
My iPhone recieves and sends messages.
The [** MESSAGE **] is (translated from Dutch): 'Your iCloud-account cannot be removed. Mail cannot remove <account>@icloud.com. Start Mail again en logout again at iCloud."
Question. Makes it any difference that I use accountnames ending on "mac.com", "me.com" and/or "icloud.com"?
Please ... tell me what I have to do!
John, The Netherlands.

This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with my email address Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"

I keep getting this message over and over and over.
This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <my email address>
Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem"
I go to IC Preferences but there is nothing I can fix there that is relative.
My outbox is no longer working in MAIL so I cannot email out. I have to use my wife's MBP to send emails.
I can get emails. I didn't change anything in m,ail preferences, so what is Apple doing to me?

I also have had this problem and see no resolution - signed out of my account and signed in again, did not get any resolution to the problem. done this twice. Is Apple addressing this? I thought that 10.10.1 would resolve this but found to my dismay that there has been no resolution. Each time I log out of iCloud and then sign in again, there is a time lag before all my files in iCloud become accessible so have stopped trying this remedy. I also have issues with iTunes where am asked for my password 4 times before I can log in. Would like to know if there is anything in the pipeline to remedy/rectify this problem. Issues with bad internet connectivity have improved but are still there. Wish Apple would spend some more time in testing and resolving issues before releasing new software.

Ever since i forgot my apple id password and changed to a new one, I am continually being asked to enter my iCloud password. It then says that this mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "my username". nothing I do in in preferences helps.

You have to sign out completely in System Preference>iCloud (click 'Sign out') on a Mac, or Settings>iCloud on an iOS device (click 'Delete account' - this will not delete the account from the server). Then sign in with the new password.
Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac or device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in.

How Does one fix this-"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address"

Hello Apple Community: I receive this message multiple times a day.
"This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "My Email Address" Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
After sighing into iCloud I can not find a problem.
Is this a Yosemite issue, because thats when the issue started?
Thanks for your help..

Yes, this is a constant problem for me as well. I have 2 Macs (iMac and old MacBook Pro) running Yosemite. I seem to only get this message on the iMac. I've tried logging out of ICloud on both and logging back in; the problem re-appears randomly. I also have no issue on IOS devices.
It's mainly annoying. I open the iCloud panel in System Preferences and it tends to go away.

This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with "your Apple ID", Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.

I am using Yosemite on (iMac 21.5 inch mid 2011).
My question is:- Periodically when closing down Safari and only the application Safari i get the message:-
This Mac can’t connect to iCloud because of a problem with “my Apple ID”, Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
I don't understand this because there is no problem with "my Apple ID" and if there is what should I do when opening iCloud preferences to fix the problem.
Would appreciate some positive answer to stop this message from appearing and to resolve this problem.
Cheers Bruce.

I do not use the Safari browser, and I also get this error message. I also have not updated to Yosemite. I am able to log into iCloud using my Apple ID and password, so I know that there is no issue with my login credentials. However, so far I have not been able to determine what is causing this message.

What is error message this mac can't connect to icloud because...?

Problem syncing iMac notes to iCloud. Get above error message. Notes sync ok from ipad3 to iphone 4

"because of a problem with @me.com email address. Open iCloud preferences to fix this problem."
Nothing in there except account details.

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
Mac OS 10.8.5
None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works! Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
Of course I saw that menu item "Import" and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same: "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud.

Cannot synchronize "ON MY MAC" calendars in Ical with iCloud. It works well from iCloud to Ical, and Ical to iCloud except for all the calendars in the "ON MY MAC" group.
Please help.

That's correct: both in MobileMe and iCloud you cannot 'sync' 'On My Mac' calendars. This is because there is no actual syncing in the literal sense: the calendars are held on the server, and read from there by iCal (think of it as being like webmail and it makes sense).
The only way to 'sync' an 'On My Mac' calendar is to move it to iCloud. This page is written for MobileMe but the principle is the same: please follow the first set of numbered instructions.

Contact your help desk with this information: cannot create connection file "CitrixID"

Has anyone overcome an issue with logging in to a Citrix server and getting the following message: Contact your help desk with this information: cannot create connection file “CitrixID”? I can log on, but once logged in, the apps available to me will not launch. All worked fine before I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. I do a lot of foreign travel and Citrix kept me connected to the office. Unfortunately, our IT team aren't really "Mac Guys" so they are just as perplexed as I am. I have deleted and deleted Citrix Receiver several times as posts on other sites recommended, but to no avail.

There are some discussions on the citrix forum that may help if you haven't already seen them. Here are two and there are likely more:

As mentioned above I have just downloaded OSX Maverick to my iMac. I am now having a lot of problems with iCloud. I get the message that "This iMac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with, and then it goes on to quote my e-mail address. It then says to open iCloud preferences to fix this problem.
I do this and no matter what I seem to do this message continues to return.
Can anybody explain how to resolve this problem (please bear in mind that I am noy very computer literate).
Many thanks

How can I change the phone number in which security code is sent because I stay in China long time and buy a new iPadair. I cannot connect with iCloud.

I work in China, therefore, I stay in China for long time. I bought an iPadair and try to connect with iCloud, then asked me security code which is sent to my home phone in New York. I cannot get it. How can I connect the new one with iCloud. My name is David M Lee, have Apple, iCloud and iTune account.

If you are referring to the code for Apple ID two-step verification, you will need access to either one of your trusted devices or your Recovery Key. There is more information in the links below:

Cannot start mac office 2011, prompt "this identity cannot be opened with this version of outlook

cool, need help on this.. just installed the software but the message prompt me " This identity cannot be opened with this version of Outlook". i using Macbook and version Mac OS X 10.7.3

Hi,
This issue occurs as the current navigation pane in Outlook is not working properly. We can try to use the command "Outlook.exe /resetnavpane" to clear and regenerate the navigation pane for the current Outlook profile:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /resetnavpane” in the blank box, then press Enter.
We can also create a new profile to test if this issue persists:

If there's no issue with the new profile, simply delete the old one.

My iPad came up withe the message "This iPad cannot back up to iCloud without a verified e-mail address". There are two buttons to push: "Later" and "Settings". Pushing neither button does anything. It acts as if it is frozen. If I push the off switch,

While using it my iPad spontaneously came up with the message "This iPad cannot back up to iCloud without a verified e-mail address". There are two buttons to push: "Later" and "Settings". Pushing either button does nothing. It acts as if it is frozen. If I try to slide the off switch, it does not slide. I assume it is frozen. How do I get out of this?

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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Dreamweaver - FTP error occurred - cannot make connection

Hello I am trying to update a site and I am getting an error:
FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host.
I absolutely did change any kind of FTP settings in the last 3 months.
Everything has been working fine up until now.
Justhost is who I use, I talked to there tech support they said they checked on there side and are able to connect and everything is working there, they are telling me it has something to do with dreamweaver.
The only thing new is a I did an update earlier to adobe creative cloud - I don't think that would be the problem though.
If anyone can please please help me or point in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

Hello,
it's well known, that In all these cases you describe I'm not a friend of a detailed troubleshooting. To be able to be independent in all this things It is one of the reasons why I prefer an external FTP program. The difficulties with which you have to fight encourage me in this opinion, not least because we always search for experts, we don't charge a "jack of all trades".
To manage several websites or to upload my files and sometimes for the opposite way, for a necessary download from my server or to use a "a site-wide synch", I'm using FileZilla. It simply looks easier for me to keep track of all operations precisely and generate or reflect easily the desired tree structure.
Above all, FileZilla has a feature (translation from my German FileZilla) called "compare file list". Here it's possible to use file size or modification time as a criterion. There is also the possibility to "hide identical files", so that only these files which you want to redact remain visible.
And even if it means you have to install a new program, I am convinced that there is an advantage. Here is the link to get it and where you can read informations about how it works:
http://filezilla-project.org/ and http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Tutorial#Using_the_site_manager
Mac: Mac OS X (Use: Show additional download options)
http://filezilla-project.org/download.php
Of course, you also need all the access data to reach your server and for MIME issues, you should contact your web host/provider.
Good luck!
Hans-Günter
P.S.
Since I use two screens, the whole thing became even more comfortable.
