FIX FOR Apple ID LOGON ISSUES - VENTURA AND iOS 16

Are you having issues with logging on to iCloud.com or issues with Ventura System Settings or iPhone/iPad iOS 16 Settings, such as being unable to open anything requiring your Apple ID, then this is most likely caused by an inferior or unstable internet connection.

The ultimate test is to open a new browser page in Safari and type iCloud.com. If the page will not open and is stuck at the start, then your internet connection is the culprit. Safari will probably open any other webpage, but not iCloud.com. The iCloud server requires a strong and stable internet connection for it to work. You may find that, with your current Internet connection, you can log onto AppleID.Apple.com and access your Apple ID credentials, and edit the settings, including changing your Password. After making any changes, you will be able to access most things on your computer or iOS device, but fail on anything requiring connection to the iCloud Server. This is because AppleID.Apple.com was not able to change the password on the iCloud Server.

I spent days on the Apple Support Chat room, and none of the Apple Advisors were able to resolve my issue. Fabian at iStore Noumea solved it within minutes - thank you again Fabian.

The solution is to make sure you have a strong and stable internet connection. iCloud will most likely not work if connected to the Internet with a mobile phone Data Connection or a Personal Hotspot. You need a very good WIFI connection. Test the connection by opening a new browser page in Safari and type iCloud.com. If iCloud opens, then the Internet connection is OK.

Next, you need to change your Apple ID Password (again). Use the Change Password option on iCloud.com to change your Password.

Now, everything should work normally again, including fast Ventura System Settings or iPhone/iPad Settings.

The moment you reconnect with an inferior Internet connection again, your issues with iCloud will reappear.

Hope this helps those tearing their hair out like I was.
