Deleting files in the Library folder can sometimes cause unintended consequences, especially if you weren't sure what you were deleting. Here's how to troubleshoot the iCloud verification error:
1. Check Internet Connection:
A stable internet connection is crucial for iCloud verification. Make sure your MacBook Pro is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network. If possible, try switching to a different network and see if it helps.
2. Sign Out and Sign Back In:
Sometimes a simple refresh can fix verification issues. Sign out of your iCloud account by going to System Preferences > Apple ID. Select the Overview tab and click Sign Out. Then, sign back in with your Apple ID and password.
3. Verify Date and Time Settings:
Incorrect date and time settings can disrupt Apple's verification process. Ensure your MacBook Pro has the correct date and time set to automatic. Go to System Preferences > Date & Time. Check the box next to "Set date and time automatically."
4. Reset Network Settings:
If your internet connection seems okay, resetting your network settings might help. This will clear any corrupted network configurations. Go to System Preferences > Network. Click the "..." button on the bottom left corner and select Reset Network Settings. You'll need to enter your administrator password to confirm.
5. Check Apple System Status:
There's a possibility that Apple's iCloud servers might be experiencing temporary issues. Check the Apple System Status page (Apple - Support - System Status) to see if there are any reported problems with iCloud.
Important Note:
While deleting files in the Library folder might have freed up space, it's generally not recommended unless you're absolutely certain what you're deleting. These files are part of your system and applications, and removing them can lead to unexpected issues.
If none of these solutions work, it's recommended to contact Apple Support for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting steps based on your situation.
