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.

Download the Apple Intermediate Certificates


  • Double click the downloaded certificate to install it in Keychain Access.


Try to log in to iCloud after that, should work.
