I sign in to iCloud in System Settings on Yosemite with Correct Apple ID and Password but it says they are incorrect and to sign in again.

Anyone know the fix for this? I've tried deleting my user account, and recreating it. I can sign in fine on both Apple ID, and the iCloud websites, but my Mac won't let me sign in. I've tried removing special characters from my password. Not sure really where to go from here. Any ideas? Is there some preference location in the /System or /Library folders that holds a user-specific iCloud authentication setting?

I think this is an issue on Apple’s end with their iCloud services. Apple’s status page is indicating issues with iCloud Account & Sign, as well as iCloud Web Apps services.

I just checked the system status page a couple of different times, and it said everything was fine (all green). Let me check again. Wow! Temporarily unavailable. Okay, thanks. It must be intermittent. Guess I just lucked out (as in out of luck!) to need to set up my account while they were having problems. I appreciate the quick reply! cheers!
