Can't sign in to icloud

I was randomly signed out of iCloud on my Mac Pro (10.13.6), and now can no longer sign in for Messages, Notes, etc. It was working fine for years before this. I have reset Apple ID password, checked all connections, signed in online and removed the computer from devices list and re-added. I've also already tried phone support, they had no answer and actually told me to "go to the forums."

Mac Pro, macOS 10.13

Two Sign-in Problems With iCloud on iMac Two issues, the second one stemming from the first. This is with iCloud on my iMac. No other hardware is affected. Originally, I was getting a message within iCloud in Settings. This message: So I browsed in here and found that I should sign out and back in to iCloud. Which I worried about since it said I could lose data stored. Backed up everything and signed out. Now iCloud won't let me sign back in. Instead, I get this new message after correctly entering my Apple ID and Password: Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks.

Unable to log into iCloud. Re-instal of Mac OS did not resolve. On my iMac 24" M1 Ventura I am unable to sign into iCloud. In settings when I am prompted to sign in I encounter a loading wheel that spins indefinitely until I force quit settings. I know that I am using the correct password because I can continuously sign in/out of iCloud on my iPhone, MacBook Pro, and iPad with no issues. Additionally, if I intentionally enter the wrong password the system notifies me immediately that it is incorrect. I have made several calls to Apple Support but they had no success in helping. They had me reinstall osx but this did not resolve the issue. Has anyone else run into this?

iCloud: "You can't sign in at this time" Hello all, I'm hoping someone has a real solution to this. I have an older MacMini (2011) running MacOS 10.13.6 High Sierra and it has suddenly stopped letting me sign in to iCloud. I can access my iCloud via a browser but not through the Mac's system, enabling updates to Photos, Notes, Messages, Calendar, Contacts, etc. I have googled this extensively and tried many "fixes", such as deleting ~/Library/Application Support/iCloud, deleting keychains, preferences, many, many restarts, signing in with different Mac user accounts and different iCloud accounts - all to no avail. It always ends up with getting the same message: "You can't sign in at this time". I'm starting to think that maybe Apple have just stopped older Macs/OS versions from connecting to the iCloud - is that likely? I realise my Mac is eleven years old now (which is why it can't update beyond High Sierra) but still. Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks.
