Q: You can't sign in at this time

Oct 15, 2011 1:34 AMby dariusman,I don't really know, I have been getting this message since Wednesday and yesterday I came up with the idea that it should not be a problem with Apple, since the error message popped up almost instantaneously always... Have you got any firewall, or any other similar app which could be interfering your connections?
P.D.: I have just received a similar error message when trying to install SugarSync. Guess who was the responsible...

Oct 19, 2011 2:22 AMby dariusman,EricAnderson, there seems to be a problem with you Keychain. Try this:

Oct 19, 2011 3:18 AMby christian110011,I have contacted apple support for this problem and was suggested to make a so called PRam reset:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh26871.html
.. which did not help
apple support's 2nd idea was to try using another user account to try the icloud login - which then worked; so I created a new user account and moved all data over .. I'm done now more or less but of course this is not really a solution to the problem ..
I also checked the keychain - but do not have any problems here (with either user accounts)

1. Quit all running programs including System Preferenes.
2. Go to /Users/(Your Username)/Library/Application Support from the Finder>Go>Go to folder menu.
3. Rename the folder 'iCloud' to 'iCloud OLD' (this is effectively removing it from the system but retaining it on disc in case you need it back)
4. Run System Prefereneces
5. Try signing into iCloud again.
It worked for me!
(Lion created a replacement iCloud folder in /Users/(Your Username)/Library/Application Support)
Let me know if this works for you!

Oct 19, 2011 10:20 AMby Phil in the Forest,I think I've found a solution:
1. Quit all programs including System Preferences.
2 Go to /Users/indie/Library/Application Support using the Finder's Go>Go To folder menu item.
3. Rename the folder 'iCloud' to 'iCloud old'
This may have fixed the problem.
(Renaming rather than deleting the old folder just means you can get it back again if you want it.)
Let me know how this works for you!

Oct 20, 2011 11:13 AMby MySupportID,Didn't work for me. But I have the same Problem.
Cannot login to iCloud from my mac. iPod is working. And I have in my konsole continousliy following error message:
Oct 20 20:10:44 veits-mac-mini com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[124] (com.apple.ubd[991]): Exited with code: 254
Oct 20 20:10:48 veits-mac-mini ubd[992]: SecKeyCreatePair returned 100013
and securityid process is running with 90%.
Do not have little snitch or any other firewall running.

Oct 22, 2011 3:53 AMby MySupportID,After long research I found that my problem was related to not trustet Apple certificates in the keychain.
Look for com.apple.ubiquity... and trust the not trusted ones. After this I was able to sign into iCloud and the securityid process went to normal.
I don't know if there's a reason the certificates are not trusted? Really strange.
-
Oct 22, 2011 4:20 AMby Phil in the Forest,Well done! I'm glad that worked for you.
I've never really fully understood how the certificates work.
Do you know if it's safe just to delete a certificate (rather than just approve a 'non-trusted' one which sounds a little dangerous to me....) and whether doing so re-creates (and hopefully is then trusted) that certificate?
