IPhone won't let me accept new iCloud terms and conditions

It is beyond ridiculous that this issue is all over the support chat boards, and NO solution is available. I've tried signing out and back in. Why is this happening to SO MANY users? and no solution?

I’ve just had the same problem with my Mums iPad. I’m thinking about getting her to go into the local Apple Store to see what they can do about it. If enough people do the same thing, that might actually get a response from them.

Updated to 17.7.1 released today 15 November 2024. Problem still persists.

Click Continue > Pop-up with "Cannot Complete Action - This action cannot be completed at this time" OK

Waiting patiently to be able to accept your service's Terms and Conditions.

PS Apple support suggested using a different browser, using a private window, using a desktop, or even using a non Apple computer to sign in and accept the new terms (they said there'd be a pop-up after sign-in). How crazy is that?

Having this same issue and noticed lost access to my money on Apple Cash as well. It simply gives me a prompt to "set up", but I have been using Apple Cash for 3 years, I have never been signed out. This is super frustrating.

I appreciate that Apple has a "solution". For someone who prefers to wait before installing a major version update, however, this isn't a practical solution. 18.01 or even 18.1 have not quite gone through the "user testing" process (X.2 or X.3 are arguably more stable versions.)

Anyone who doesn't have the newer iPhone models won't benefit much from the bells and whistles of iOS 18. Apparently users whose phones don't have enough space can't even update.

Why doesn't Apple just put out a fix for this bug in a version 17.7.x?

Forcing users to upgrade (iOS or their iPhone) this way is a crappy way to bump up your install stats.

Hoping the iCloud services I do use will continue to function while waiting for a stable version. Sigh.

I have exclusively used Apple products since the 1980s after using Windows. IMO, Apple software, backward compatibility, software issues, and user interface experience is the worst its ever been. It’s gotten so bad over the years, I’m about to go another way.

I will say their hardware quality and reliability has been excellant; still have a functional 2011 Macbook.

I’ve updated my IPAD, but still am told that I cannot connect to ICLOUD-I cannot complete the action. This has been going on for at least three weeks, never changes. Seems lots of others are having the same issue, it should have been fixed by now.

Mine is on my 2017 iPad, it is completely up-to-date (no new update available). I've gone thru iTunes, I've logged on via my PC (Windows) and still can't get rid of it. Logging on via PC didn't prompt the message to appear so in my case it's purely on my iPad. Not that I'm bothered as I don't use iCloud (being an actual Android user for everything else), I just want rid of the notification.

I already tried that by signing out and it did not work for me

Did this work for anyone? (AlWeir’s suggestion^) I’m still stuck on “this action cannot be completed at this time.“

same here

It worked ok for me on the first day it was issued, my wife now trying and is getting the error message that is being discussed here.

Didn’t work

I did the sign out, sign back in, etc. Turned off my VPN, reset and NO fix. I keep getting "Cannot Complete Action." I sure miss my Android! Still not a fan of the Apple iphone.

Same here, doesn't even work to restart the device. I also tried to log out and back in.

I'm gonna switch back to Android if there's no solution.
