Can't sign in to Apple ID or iCloud on devices - but devices show on Apple ID list of connected devices I've recently bought a new iPad 8th Gen (A2270) to replace an aging iPad 2 (A1396). When setting up the new iPad I'm getting "There was an error connecting to iCloud" after entering my Apple ID and my password. I have 2-factor enabled and a code does comes through on my old iPad and my iPhone ok. But this 2-factor only came up on the first attempt at signing in or again on first attempt after resetting the device. If I log into Apple ID on a PC web browser, or look under Apple ID on either the old iPad or iPhone, I can see the new iPad in the list of devices but the new iPad is still asking me "Sign in to your iPad" in Settings. If I skip setting up Apple ID, the new iPad can go on internet via Safari, but it cannot go to icloud.com; where it says "Connection Error - icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". New iPad is basically useless as I can't upload apps to use the iPad as the App Store needs the device to be looged into my Apple ID. Also, as a secondary issue, both the old iPad and iPhone are now asking me to "Update Apple ID Settings" and when I try and enter the Apple ID password they come up with the error "Verification Failed - An unknown error occurred". Neither device can connect to icloud.com in their respective web-browsers - "Connection Error - icloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server". Seems some sort of 'handshake' between my device(s) and iCloud hasn't happened. Apple ID password has been changed as part of attempts to sort. Subsequent logging into Apple ID is fine from a PC web-browser, but I still have the same issues on my Apple devices. I've tried resetting the iPad; a few times. I've got a strong (3-bar) WiFi signal and fibre broadband connection to the property. New iPad and iPhone have been updated to iOS 14.1

Update Apple ID setting isn’t working I transferred my data and contents to my new iPad 8th generation from an older iPad Air. When the transfer was complete, I was completing the final step of updating my Apple ID settings. According to the words presented on the page, there are other services that require me to log in with my Apple ID to complete the process. I entered my Apple ID password and it took it and then the spinning graphic appeared. After more than an hour, the spinning graphic is still there. Has anyone else had this problem and how long should this process take?
