“New iCloud Terms & Conditions” Popup Bug — Post Ventura Update

This is always happening to me - its driving me mad.

So far, the problem has not been solved even in Safe Mode

(mac m1)

In safe mode, I scroll through the terms and conditions, check box to agree, click to submit, and nothing happens except the red circle with the 1 is still showing on the system icon. Terms and conditions still annoyingly present, obtrusive and unable to rectify.

I found a solution for the never ending terms and conditions pop-up. My engineers and I worked for several days in fact weeks to scour the internet and yet the solution was right in front of us the whole time.

If you're using an external monitor. Take that stupid popup and make it really small and drag it to the corner of the screen so that it's always open but out of sight and when it gets big it won't stomp on any other open windows.

The only problem is if you need to access the settings. Then you need to unplug the monitor to gain access to the settings.

Looks like Case Closed.

“‘New iCloud Terms & Conditions’ Popup Bug — Post Ventura Update: There is another thread on this and it has the solution. I’ve done it and it works! Its so simple I can’t believe I didn’t think of it. Ready? Sign out of iCloud, then sign back in, problem solved.[…]”

What’s the URL of this thread you speak of?l

Providing that would help many, for certain.

I was also getting these repeated New iCloud Terms and Conditions notices that interrupted whatever I was doing every few minutes. I accepted the T&Cs numerous times.

I finally logged out of iCloud (System Settings/your name at the top of the screen/Log Out at the bottom of the screen).

Then I had trouble logging back in. When I used my .icloud user name and Apple password, the system appeared to log in and sent a verification code to my phone, but then it reset at the login screen. After failing using this route about three times, I tried logging in using my .mac user name. I entered my Apple password and later got to a step to enter my local desktop password, which I hadn't gotten to using the .icloud user name.

I then got a "Login Failed" message. However, this message disappeared and I seem to have logged into my iCloud account successfully. So far I am not getting the New Terms and Condition popup.

Fingers crossed that I am good to go.

*I just discovered that when I logged out of iCloud, I disconnected my bank credit card from Apple Pay. I had to go back and reestablish this on the desktop at System Settings/Wallet and Apply Pay, near the bottom of the System Settings window.

“The problem is that even in Safe Mode I can never complete the signout process. I am just going to move the ****** notification to another screen using Universal Access”

Reboot While Signed Out of iCloud:

What happens when you sign out of iCloud and then restart, boot up and log in normally? Does this go away? Having rebooted while signed out, sing back in to iCloud, seeing what happens.

Had the same issue. Not sure if isolated to people with external monitors as mentioned in one post but I have a Mac Mini with a Samsung monitor. Logging out of iCloud and logging back in fixed it for me. Didn't need to reboot.

I decided to contact Apple Support on this. It was escalated and the support person and I worked through several scenarios. What finally fixed it was to log into iCloud from the offending computer checking all of the settings tabs and from there logging into the manage my AppleID and walking through all settings there. This seemed to cause it to finally sync things with my computer because somewhere during this process the notification went away and has stayed away. There is no longer a line item for that notification in my System Settings.

Did that work on an iMac running Ventura????

I tried that on my iMac. Refused to do it after warnings from Apple!!!

It's not simply a matter of signing out of iCloud and signing back in. What I saw with iCloud was that there were at least half a dozen places where you needed to sign out of iCloud and then it warned that if you did that, that files would get deleted! I said no thanks to having Apple mystery software delete some of my files.

after I wasted lots of time clicking the accept button and tried all the above unsuccessfully, this did work, indeed. I signed off and in before but it did not work. I had CleanMyMac open, but no VPN connected.

Once I shut down CleanMyMac and signed off and back in, no popup!!!

So, NO security software nor VPN open!!!

I have a solution that worked for me. On your iPhone go to mail and choose accounts. click on each of your iCloud mail accounts (if you have more than one) and the terms will come up. Choose view terms and then agree to terms and conditions. Somehow, my Mac is happy now that I agreed on my phone. It worked for me several weeks ago when the annoying message popped up on my MAC and again today when it started again.

Thanks, that worked for me too. I have a second Apple account, which is not the Apple ID I use on my Mac, except for receiving E-mail. That account kept asking for the password and would never accept it, and the terms and conditions would not go away. Accepting them on my iPhone resolved the issue on my Mac.

I have done everything everyone has said to try! Scrolling all the way down and then accepting, logging out of iCloud, logging out of computer and all apple connected programs....nothing works. I too feel it is really aggravating to have this keep popping up. PLEASE...SOMEONE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE!

I did not try this since accepting on my iPhone worked for me.

I wonder if you log into iCloud.com on your computer with your apple id and password and you click on the icon in the top right corner (that might be your initials or avatar if you have one set up). That is where the iCloud settings are and see if the terms message comes up there. Accepting there might work like it does on the iPhone and stop the madness of that message showing up on your computer constantly.
