Why do I keep getting the "You can't sign in to iCloud at this time" messages?
I keep getting the message when TRYING to sign into my iCloud account while using the System Preferences or using the Mail app on the computer I am currently using.
HOWEVER:
I CAN sign into my Apple ID account using this Apple Support Community. Same Apple ID. Same password. Same computer.
I CAN sign into my Apple ID account using iTunes. Same Apple ID. Same computer.
I CAN sign into my Apple ID account using a browser. Same Apple ID. Same computer.
How can I FIX this problem using methods that I have NOT already tried?
Tried the following with no success.
1) Rebooting
2) Rebooting in Safe Mode
3) Logging out of User Account and then back in
4) Re-authorizing Computer using iTunes
5) Removing Computer using iCloud access via a browser (on the same computer).
6) Resetting my Keychain using the Keychain app (someone else suggested it, but this was STUPID; all it did was delete about 100 previously saved passwords)
7) Tried signing in with VPN turned off; VPN “on” or “off” does NOT affect being able to sign into iCloud using browser at <icloud.com> or into my Apple ID Account using iTunes.
I CAN see this computer using the Find My app on my phone.
EVERY time I TRY to sign in I get the same “You can’t sign in to iCloud at this time” message.
Please help!
Thanks.
