iCloud Terms and Agreement

I do use iCloud. I have accepted the Terms and Agreement. It keeps indicating that I haven't accepted. It is bothersome. What is the problem? I have an iMac, a Mac Book and iPhones. The message continues to appear on my iMac on which the iOS just upgraded to Ventura.

iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021, 2 ports)

For me the issue was due to "Private Relay".

Private Relay under iCloud was stuck trying to work.

I had to turn off wifi and disconnect ethernet. Then reboot...

I could then and ONLY then with no networking on... Disable Private Relay.

Then I could reboot accept all terms and conditions and everything was fine.

WHAT A CLUSTER &(@(&!.

I have been on Ventura 13.0 and 13.1 from day one and I also just got the notification. I did accept it. But it didn't go away. I also read in the past when this happens on versions prior to ventura people said you logout of icloud and login back in and it fixed it. I tried this with my Ventura 13.1 but I can't get my Mac to logout fully. It tries and it never gets to the last step that makes you type in your icloud password. So I stay login.


I am assuming for now something on the cloud side with apple is broken. Very annoying I will likely call Apple support later but I doubt it will be successful. When cloud services fail support never knows about it and treats everyone like it is a ONE of a kind problem.

I phoned apple support and they were unable to fix the issue. They didn't know what was causing the issue.

One of the symptoms that I did identify was that the system preferences in just the iCloud menu scrolling up and down was SLOW and every other option in system preferences was fine.


Apple said it must be my ISP even though I have NO other issues with my ISP.

They made me remove any AV or VPN software but that had no change. I was escalated to senior Apple support without any resolution other then telling me to phone my ISP. I even did speed tests showing I have 700 megabit internet connection with no jitter but Apple Support thinks it is my ISP.
