Q: me account quit working

My @me email quit working last night.  Also, my numbers program won't work anymore because it wants to update but I can't because the user name isn't working.  I can't use it at all.  It's like all the @me I have been using until last night is gone and I am stuck.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

        1. Go to the Apple () menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
        2. Verify that you are signed in. If necessary, click the Account Details button for more information.
      • Windows 8:
