Hey IlPadrino1975,


Thanks for sharing that information so far.


Let's try starting to safe mode and seeing if you can accept the terms there:

Start up your Mac in safe mode


Do you have an VPN or proxy configured? Make sure that's off as well.


This would make sure nothing is interfering with your connection to the Apple servers.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

Hi there IlPadrino1975,


We'll need more information in order to help. Which device do you have and which software version is it running?


What exactly happens when you try to accept the terms and conditions for iCloud? What does the error message say?


Is your device connected to a reliable network with good signal strength?


The best steps are going to depend on exactly what's happening, but as a start, we recommend restarting the device.


The steps in the links below might also help:


If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - Apple Support


If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud - Apple Support


Please send over some details, and we'll take a closer look from there.


Thanks!
