Why can't I sign into icloud from my PC?

It works fine from my phone; same id and password.   I tried with internet explorer and latest version of Firefox.  This is a work computer and I cannot install Safari. It simply says 'connection error'

Meeting the recommended system requirements lets you take advantage of the latest iCloud features and gives you the best overall iCloud experience. iCloud also requires an active Internet connection via Wi-Fi or cellular data, and some features work only with a Wi-Fi connection. Consult the iCloud features table below for information about minimum requirements by feature.

  • HT204053 why can't I sign into icloud with my Apple ID?

    I have a valid Apple ID but it keeps saying I can't sign into icloud.

    HI,
    The most common cause at the moment is a repaired or refurbished Mac missing the serial number on the Logic board.
    Use the Apple Icon Menu > About this Mac.
    Near the top is the current OS version listed
    Click this line twice (Once to Build number and again to Serial number)
    If it is missing you need and Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider to sort this for you.

  • HT5312 why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put

    why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place

    1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
    2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • Why cant i sign into icloud from my laptop?

    I have an acer netbook. When i first got icloud on it it worked great. For a couple weeks, maybe more i have not been able to sign into icloud from my laptop.

    I am logged into icloud on my phone. But cannot get into it on my laptop.
    Anybody know a fix for this?

  • Why can't I sign into I cloud on my I pad but can on any other devices i.e. my I phone and my I mac

    Why can't I sign into my iCloud on my iPad but can on any other devices i.e my I phone and I mac

    What App are you using to log in, Safari?
    You cannot access icloud.com from an ios device in a browser. They have individual apps (find my phone, mail, calendar) to access those services from an ios device.

    "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into Imessage?

    Hi,
    You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
    Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
    If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences  folder again.
    This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist 
    This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
    Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
    It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
    Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
    This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
    This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
    The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences.  However there are exceptions.
    You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
    Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
    This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
    Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
    Chose the Get Info option.
    In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
    Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
    If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
    Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House  icon one)
    You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
    Can you confirm this ?
