Thank you for the screenshot.

Some thoughts:

A. Provide the Issue:

So, when you click “Agree” button, does it do do nothing? Or does it give you popup message?

B. Scroll to the Bottom of the Message:

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the message. The, click the button “Terms and Conditions” on the top-right corner of the window, doing the same. Then click the agree” button.

C. Disconnect from a VPN:

If you are connected to a VPN, then Dixon next from it.

“‘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.

“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.

Logging out worked for me too but then reappeared some weeks later. And logging out is a pain when you have multiple devices, computers, phones etc plus family sharing.

Accepting the update in Settings on my iPhone was the best and easiest solution for me.

Worked like a charm. I too have two iCloud accounts, but New iCloud Terms & Conditions acceptance was being acknowledged by only one of the iCloud accounts on my iMac. So, using the Mail accounts on my iPhone, and the second iCloud account, I go the request to approve, which I did, and not not more reminders to accept T&C on my Mac. Thanks.

Thanks for the followup reply.

TMB Restoration:

A TMB restoration would make sense as a solution. The only regretful thing about doing that is loss of data. So I don’t know how old “Old” officially is, but take this as a learning experience, knowing to back up every-so-often. Maybe give it a few weeks and see if this all goes away. Then, try this install once more.

I have not tried this but without an iPhone or and iPad, try logging into your iCloud.com account. See if you can agree there and hopefully it will clear the message. I know how frustrating it is. took me a long time to figure out the iPhone workaround. Good luck

I had this problem once i got the new iphone 15. I was able to access my icloud terms and conditions from my settings on ipad. Apple support said that if you have multiple apple devices try accessing your icloud from one of those devices, if it does not work on your phone.

Agree. Logging out of you main iCloud account is a pain if you use apple wallet and multiple devices and family sharing. Accepting the terms on my iPhone was a much easier solution.

I signed in to two different accounts on the iTunes stores and responded to each request. It resolved the issue.

Try to delete your iCloud account from the Internet account

I do it and it worked for me

It looks like you already tried it on page one of this thread and did not work for you.

Went perfect for me as you can tell by my excited response in the thread link below.

Anyway here is the thread =

Unable to accept iCloud Terms and Conditi… - Apple Community

Here is something I found on my own if you do not know how to sign out of iCloud =

Good luck to all !

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.
