When trying to sign in to iCloud on iPad2/iOS5 I receive User name or password is incorrect dialogue box w/ and "ok" bar. The screen freezes at this point and then it just spins "verifying" at the top. The only way to clear it seems to be turning it off. The same login/password worked on iPhone 4 and MacBook Pro. iPad is upto date. Any thoughts?

This worked for me, too. deleted account, started back up again, and everything is working fine.
Worked here too. Had some issues today with my iPad when I was syncing. Didn't show things properly and iTunes showed I needed to download an update even though I had 5.0.1 already. Tried a Restore and still had the iCloud issue. This suggestion worked like a charm! My iPad never had its MobileMe account changed to and iCloud icon until today. My iPhone did when I installed 5.0. Guess the install on the iPad never was completed.
I tried Paul's suggestion, but when I went to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars there was no iCloud account there. I tried to add one, and the same issue occured: I put in my Apple ID and Password and got the same error. Any other suggestions?
similar problem here. i am able to log into my icloud on my 4s but when i go to turn on the icloud backup, it says "there was a problem enabling Icloud backup." i also get the "username or password is incorrect" message when i try to turn on the photo stream. whats going on? this is so annoying!
Thank you Paul Cantrell!! Worked perfectly!!
Hi Paul, I don't have an account to delete in my Mail, Contacts and Calendars but I do see my Apple ID when I click Add Account then choose iCloud. I hate that this is happening and I totally regret updating to IOS 5. Help please!
Hi hollysmo, I'm still having the same problem and like you I don't see an account in either iCloud and MobileMe. Any suggestions?
Found a solution! After 2 days of frustration! I went to https://appleid.apple.com ➡ Manage Your Account ➡ then saw an option to Make Your Apple ID and Primary Email Address the same and clicked on it. This made my email address now the same as my apple ID, which used to be Liebshen. I didn't even know this till I posted the comment above. Must've set it up years back when i got my ipod mini. :)
After doing this I went to Settings ➡ Mail, Contacts, Calendars ➡ iCloud. I then changed the Apple ID to my email address (which was now the same thing). It then took my password!
iCloud/iPad 2 error: "user name or password is incorrect" when I try to sign into iCloud.
