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

I have the same problem. I have responded more than 30 or 40 times and the message keeps popping up. The indication remains in the System Settings after I respond... and to make it worse, I just bought the computer a few days ago... please advise!

Awesome, thanks. This has been messing with me for weeks. This is what finally fixed it for me, although I had to log back into the alternative account on my Mac as I had tried to change the password to fix this a while back.

There appears to be no option to sign out of iCloud on my Macbook Pro Ventura 13.3.1 (a). I have already tried a power cycle. Is Apple Menu -> Log Out [My Name] the same as signing out of iCloud? Thanks.

How to Sign Out of iCloud on macOS Ventura:

See This Link: Sign Out of iCloud On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac - Apple Support

Screenshot of Ventura:

Thank you for the screen shot. I did step 3 (sign out) and step 4 (Keep ICloud data on Mac) and did't get prompted for 5. The result was I have to sign back in to iCloud. After I do this, there is a pop-up dialog box asking to allow access to iCloud items on the Web. This dialog box CANNOT be closed, and System Settions cannot be closed so I can't reboot. Instead, I power-cycled the machine, log into the MacBook, and get the same dialog box loop with the terms and conditions!

This is so, so frustrating. It should NOT be this hard to use a mature, premium product!

Apple Community, please help - there has to be a way to fix this without restoring my Macbook to factory and re-applying all patches, updates, settings, restoring files, etc.

The thought occurred to me to report this as a bug. However, this thread shows the problem dates back to Nov, 2022. It has almost certainly already been reported. Also, this bug is subtle enough that it would take a lot of effort to describe what parts of this thread are relevant to proving that this bug still exists as of May, 2023. Making a meaninful bug report at this stage is no easy task.

Is there any way for me to check if it has already been reported as a bug? Firefox and other open source projects maintain bug tracking systems that the public can read and even contribute to, but for a proprietary company this is very rare. Is Apple different?

Also, there have been several helpful suggestions that I try stuff on my iPhone. Well, I have two iPhones that died. The one I used most recently probably still works, if I can charge it...which requires plugging in the cable and wiggling it just right until the iPhone shows signs of life, then more wiggling and finesse to get it in a stable position on my desk so it will keep charging when I let go of the cable. Oh, and I'm not 100% sure which phone is the one that still works so I have to try to charge both of them. I've been messing with these phones and my cable for a couple of days and I'm ready to give up now. Did I even use that phone during the relevant time period that might have triggered this bug?

I keep coming back to...this is way, way beyond anything a user should be expected to put up with. It is unreasonable to expect that *if* I ever even once used an iPhone since the previous T&C update, a terms and conditions bug on a laptop can only be properly isolated/diagnosed (not necessarily solved!) if I still have access to the relevant iPhone.

Why did I loose all my bonus point and all the points I had bought previously when I agree to the new terms on my hit it rich app. I lost everything thing that I had, bonus points in the billion, and was bought given a brand new app where I am starting all over like it’s my first time on hit it rich, No! I been on this site over 10 years faithfully! and many of the games are lock. I have had this app for over 10 years and have spent lot of monet buying points, now to loose everything and start from the beginning is totally not right. If I don’t get all my points back and unlock almost every game that I had before this new agreement, I’m deleting hit it rich, I have been a very loyal customer.

Please respond to me,

You are welcome. Let us know how it ends up working out.

Annoying. Any fixes yet?

I am having the same issue and I've tried accepting the terms and conditions in safe mode several times now to no avail.

A. Provide the Issue:

Yes, nothing happens upon approval, and the message is annoyingly repeated

B. Scroll to the Bottom of the Message:

I did it

C. Disconnect from a VPN:
