I just purchased the New iPad and decided to do the iCloud sync. I have installed the iCloud control panel to my Windows 7 Pro computer, but when I try to sign in from the control panel it doesn't log-in. I have waited for an hour to see if anything would happen and it does not. I have even tried to reinstall. Does anyone have any ideas?
PC, Windows XP Pro
I was having same issue here (using windows 7 64-bit). iCloud control panel used to work fine for me before this last update, but then it stopped letting me sign in. After entering apple id and password, just hangs with the spinning progress wheel forever..
I tried uninstalling, rebooting, and then reinstalling the control panel, but still did the same thing. I also tried changing my iCloud password; new password worked fine for signing onto icloud.com and from my iPhone 4S but still not from the control panel. The strange part was let it would let me log into it with my wife's apple id ??
That got me experimenting some more and I realized that the control panel worked fine from a different user profile on my windows computer! After experimenting and nosing around in my profiles 'AppData' folder, I managed to get it to work again:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
I'm guessing that somehow my (our) original MobileMeAccounts.plist has some sort of corruption in it, or maybe some log in attempt got hosed somehow and its preventing it from even trying? Who knows...
Hope it works out for you too!! ~~Corey
Thanks for trying, but I do not have the folder "Preferences" under Apple Computer. If you can think of anything else to try, please let me know.
Hmmm, are you sure your not looking in AppsData\Local\Apple Computer ? This one is in the Roaming folder.
Try copy and pasting this path instead..
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences
This way if your windows installation isn't on C: like mine it would still work..
I tried this but I do not have the file on my pc.
I am having the same issue as the original poster. I have been looking for solutions for a year now. The file you mentioned 'MobileMeAccounts.plist' is not in the folder specified. Any other ideas?
Tried it, doesn't work in my case. I have a message stating, "Connection Error. iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
But then I tried from Google's Chrome web browser and it worked.
I can not sign in to iCloud from the control panel on my PC
