Can’t connect to iCloud

Ever since the last update when I open my MacMook Air there’s a message saying there’s a problem with my iCloud account and asking me to login. When I try to do this the connection times out and there’s a message saying <Can’t connect to Icloud because of a problem with “my AppleID”>. Result, I can’t resolve the problem.

In addition, I can’t reach icloud.com or apple.com , Finder reports that my storage is full and doesn’t upload new documents.

My MacMini with Catalina 10.15.5 works correctly on all counts.

MacBook Air Mid 2011, High Sierra 10.13.6, iCore5 1.8 GHz, 4 GB ram.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

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.
