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.
It says,"You can't sign in because of a server error." Then it says "icloud status" and you can click on it. I end up here http://help.apple.com/icloud/
I am logged into icloud on my phone. But cannot get into it on my laptop.
Anybody know a fix for this?
If so lots of details please.
Thanks,
Colin

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.

If you're trying to sign in on icloud.com you can only do that froma a computer.

When I try to sign into iCloud from Windows PC I get the message "You can't sign in because of a server error." When I check the iCloud status, all is Green.

I can not sign into icloud on my laptop

I can sign into itunes and access my account on my iphone but I cant sign into icloud on my laptop???? It wont accept my password and I know its correct

What are you trying to set up on your iPhone? ICloud or iTunes Match? The two services are separate and are not the same thing.

If I am signed into ICloud on my laptop, does that incur charges on the MiFi even if I am not using it?

No, it does not.

I can't sign into iCloud from my iPad

When I try to sign into iCloud on my iPad using the Settings app, I get the message "User name or password is incorrect". I know that's not the case because I just signed into iCloud on my computer using exactly the same user name and password.
Moreover, when this happens the Settings app locks up. I can't dismiss the alert that says the user name or password was incorrect. I have to force quit Settings app to do anything else with it.
I've attached a screen shot of the Settings app and the alert message.

I just figured it out. I had to manually delete my Mobile Me account from my iPad before signing into iCloud. Problem fixed.

I can't sign into icloud from my system preference!!

We have two desk top mac's OS X 10.9.3. We switched the house computer to our office and visa versa. After unplugging it and setting it back up the one now in the house will not let me sign into my iCloud from the System Preference area. (the other works fine) I have tried everything. I know I am using the right ID and password because I can sign in online but nothing will let me sign in under the icloud system preference and get my icloud to connect to the cloud information. HELP it's making me crazy I have spent the whole day trying everything.

I can sign on with two different id's (that are email addresses) and both use the same password. And I can sign on to icloud.com via Chrome and have no problem. But when I try to sign on to icloud via system preferences it tells me invalid password with one of the email addresses and that I can't sign in at this time - etc. with the other email address.
I think I give up and am going to haul it into our computer store tomorrow. I just want to scream at this point.
None of it makes any sense.
Thanks for trying to help me. I do appreciate it!!

I can access web but cannot sign into email from my laptop. I can sign into email from explorer, don't like it. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I have always used Firefox and for web browsing and accessing my email account. During the last 2 days I upgraded my email home page and had to sign on again.
Since then, I can access the web using Firefox but cannot sign into my email, the sign in button seems to be locked
I can access my email account through Explorer, and from an alternative PC.

From your description that sounds like absolutely nothing happens, nothing moves I'd guess Adblock Plus extension might be blocking something, try disabling ADP at its toolbar icon, if you have the extension.
If you are not saving cookies for google.com you could have problems with cookies which would be the next thing to check out.
If you bring up http://www.google.com do things work, and do you really need to sign in to use Google at all -- just want to make sure it is really the sign-in.

Can't sign into iCloud from my iPhone

I Go to website using iPhone. It wants me to choose set it up on iPhone, but all the settings already are set when I walk through the setup. It still won't take me to a log-In page. able to sign in from Mac. All my photos are now in iCloud Photo Library (enabled on iPhone) but can't access them from iPhone. Help please. Running 8.1.2

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
