Appreciate it man. Really appreciate you taking you time to help.
I logged out of iCloud completely (some functions would work, like music or uploading files to iCloud Drive) and tried to log back in. Won’t work. Restarted and shut down the machine multiple times. Didn’t work. Cleared hard drive space of unused items and I installed the latest operating system hoping that was the issue. Tried to log back in and it just won’t connect. I have the option to sign into iCloud as shown in the link. I enter my appleID and it accepts it then gives me the option for my password. I enter the password, the processing wheel in the corner of the window spins and then it just blanks back to the window where I need to enter my appleID again. I’ve even tried entering an incorrect password just to see what it’s actually reading and then I get an error message. So it seems it’s accepting the correct password and trying to process the log in but it just won’t switch on. Aside from completely restoring my computer to factory settings and then reinstalling everything i don’t have a clue. I don’t want to do that because I can’t back up to iCloud. Thanks again.
