I have been getting 'Verification Failed: there was an error connecting to the Apple ID server' message everytime I try accessing my old ipad. none of my apps are working. Wifi is also connected. My password is correct as I can sign in using laptop. Already tried changing password but still no luck. Any help would be helpful.
If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud, read this support article --> If you can't connect or sign in to iCloud - Apple Support
"If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services" click here --> If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - Apple Support
- If none of the suggestions work, try the last one: "If you’ve tried all of the above steps and you still can’t connect, contact Apple Support."
If you see a message saying to try again later, see if it's a system issue: Apple - Support - System Status
Verification Failed "problem connecting to the server" March 2018 - Verification failed - Apple Community - Needed to connect over wi-fi and not through cellular.
And the opposite:
"Verification Failed, An unknown error occurred" March 2018 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/33184357#message33184357 - "tried again with Wifi off and it worked"
If those don't resolve the problem, I suggest you contact Apple:
Contact Apple. Click here --> Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
