iCloud.com logs me out after barely signing in

I sign into icloud.com with my Apple ID and password and I briefly see the Welcome screen and then I'm returned to the sign-in page.

I have tried on iPhone, iPad, and a Galaxy Tablet.

they all sign me in for a split second, then log out back to the sign in page.

Help please.

iPad, iPadOS 15

Same thing happened to me after I changed my AppleID password, I could not log into iCloud, but could get into the iCloud.com/photos, iCloud.com/mail etc... Note, this is not my primary AppleID. After a couple of hours of looking for a solution (y'all know how it is:) ),I found something someone els wrote and it worked!


I had to delete my internet account for this id and then add it back. When I added it back, i had to agree to the terms and conditions; then I was able to login into iCloud no problem. A couple of things to note, I removed and re-added the AppleID from my macbook (it should work on phone or ipad too, at least one would think), also when I added the AppleID back, the "logging in" message kept showing. After a couple of minutes, I did a Force Quit (command-option-escape) to close the system settings. Hopes this helps and saves some time.

I'm having the same issue. I go to https://www.icloud.com and click on "Sign In", enter my user name and password and enter my 2FA code.


For about 2 seconds I see a "Welcome ape_ape" and I'm then redirected back to https://www.icloud.com and I've been logged out. Clearing cookies doesn't help, using a different browser doesn't help. Using a different computer doesn't help.


I've checked the system status site and everything has a green dot. The system status site is useless. Name a social network and you'll find people complaining about this issue. It's literally blowing up, but all systems are green. What's the point of a system status page that can't tell you your stuff is having problems?


Thankfully logging into community support doesn't suffer from the same issue, otherwise I'd be unable to post this and about ready to throw all my Apple devices into the garbage.

An Apple ID say example1@gmail.com can be created using an iCloud domain , you might not have deleted the account from server .

May be you are not able to sign in from www.icloud.com there could be many reasons , either Mac OS is corrupted , the networking settings are incorrect , see the article also If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud - Apple Support

Take suggestions from apple support .

This worked for me. I was trying to get into my calendar. The calendar link you posted didn't work. Immediately logged out. Then I tried the photos link you gave. It worked. I noticed an orange circle in the top right corner with a white exclamation point. I clicked it and it said my icloud was out of storage space and to upgrade.


Then I clicked on the icon that looks like a dial-pad in the top right corner. Clicked on calendar and it loaded.


I guess icloud needs a certain amount of space in order to load??? I hope not. But I did get in.


Thank you
