iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server.

I can't login to iCloud account with an error "Connection Error, iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server"

I tried resetting my password and tried different browsers but still the error is showing each time I try to login to iCloud, any thoughts?

Mac mini 2018 or later

Hello rulasai,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. Let's isolate this a bit since there don't seem to be any current iCloud outages - System Status. Are you able to use other Internet-based apps such as Safari? If not, try another Wi-Fi network if available. That will help determine if this might be a network connection issue.


If the issue only occurs on a certain network, use the guidance from If your Mac doesn't connect to the Internet over Wi-Fi to help diagnose the issue further.


If this happens on multiple networks, try another browser if available.


Have a great day!

I’m getting this to. Tried all my macs, iPhone and iPad. Same error. Now when i look at my iCloud storage on phone or Mac or iPad all i see is mail and message. Then a big giant gray of no description. It’s probably the data for photos and documents and more. Clearly something is wrong but apple system status says all is good.
