can´t access icloud/apple ID

Have recently updated to Catalina. Now my macbook pro won´t let me login to apple ID on app store. Get a message about a "unknown errror". Changed password 2 times and it works in a browser to check account details.


Anyone had same problems?

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Are you running any anti - virus programs? Using a VPN?


Try setting up another admin user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if the same problem continues. Please post back on whether or not this worked. Also try the Safe Mode. Please post back on whether or not this worked.

If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply.

Tried a new user and there was no problem, when returning to main user account everything was okay again. So guessing there was something blocking it like the virus program or something. But did not turn off anything, so will try to provoke the issue again and see if I can find the program. Still a lot of programs that I need to update since coming from 32 bit because of work related programs just was released for Catalina.


Will absolutetly remember and test the Etrecheck when needed! Thanks
