Verification failed, how do I fix that

When trying to connect to iCloud from my iPad2, I get the following error 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 your confidential information at risk.
I can not find a way to get around this.  I looked for Settings>General> Profiles,  which the apple support site doc said is how I can delete certs, but could not find any such settings.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

This happened to me because my router was configured to use Open DNS servers (Primary 208.67.222.222, Secondary 208.67.220.220). Temporarily adjusting the DNS settings on the router to 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 did the trick. Open DNS does weird things with certain certificates. Even if your router is configured to used something else, try the ones listed above to see if it makes a difference.

  • My verification failed. how can I fix it

    I just updated my iPad and I can't seem to get the verification to go through.  I keep having to reset my password because it keep saying my password is wrong.  I what I'm I doing wrong?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage

    I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
    The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
    Restarting my iPad does not help
    Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
    And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

    Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

  • My iPhone won't back up to iCloud it says backup failed after I increased my storage plan. How can I fix that and which email can I sen to if I want to refund the storage I bought on iCloud. It says I have 15 days to return.

    Which email should I send to for a refund on iCloud storage within 15 day period. Also the iPhone won't back up to iCloud it keeps saying backup failed even when I log out of iCloud and log back in how can I fix that?

    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • I can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    i can not see photos neither events preview on Iphoto ! How can i fixe that ? (Machine : MacBook Pro)

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Some of the album art work is not showing up after I buy music. I have the iPhone 6. How do I fix that?

    I have the iphone 6 16GB. Some of the music I have buy and download onto this phone does not have album covers. aome do have the album covers though. How do I fix that?

    Doesn't seem like this is happening to a lot of people but I'm having issues with album art too.  Synching new iPhone 6 iOS 8.1 (128gb) and the art appears fine.  Then a day or two later it all fails to display - 8,000 + songs.
    I have wiped the device to factory for fresh try but same results (note that also cycles ApplePay - hope I don't get fresh $35 re-enrollment charge)
    Kinda frustrating to have bad *** display and no art.
    Any ideas?

  • I have 6 apps that are on waiting how to I fix that please help

    I have 6 apps that are on waiting how to I fix that please help

    See if any of these suggestions work for you.
    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.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    My husband and I have both downloaded the new IOS 8.2 and now he is getting my text messages that are only addressed to me.  He has a 5 and I have a 6. It is like we are synced together.  How can I fix that?

    Is he getting your SMS messages (green) or your iMessages (blue). If SMS message, go to Settings>Messages and turn off Text Forwarding. If blue, are you sharing an Apple ID? You should each have your own.
