Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
After using the migration assistant to transfer everything from an old iMac to a new one (Monterey 12.2.1.), there seems to be some problem with my Apple ID that is preventing my effective connection to the internet. I show that I am connected to my home network, but clearly nothing is being communicated across it.

When you called AppleCare what did they say. If you have not called them yet, please use the link below to locate the correct phone number for your area.
Please contact them and they will likely be able to assist you to sort out your problem.
Well, I was getting an error message about my Apple ID, when I re-started, but now I am not. Instead, none of my inter net accounts are ?enabled. In system preferences, when I click on iCloud I am asked to sign in with my Apple ID. It takes forever to accept my username. Then it asks for my PW, takes forever, (I am quite sure I am putting it in correctly) and I get the message "There was an error connecting to the Apple server". The same thing happens to my Exchange server. Any website I usually go to on Safari the little blue line goes a short distance and hangs up. Thanks.
If you don't have an Internet connection, you won't be able to sign in with your iCloud account.
You need to fix the problem with your Internet connection.
Try restarting your router.
Your Apple ID has nothing to do with your connection to the Internet.
