Q: Icloud on mountain lion won't sign in?

When i go into system preferences to sign into iCloud i get the error "You can't sign in at this time Try signing in again" And it still does not work. I logged into iCloud online in the browser version and it worked fine, so it isn't my account. Also i'm running a late 2011 15inch stock mbp with 6gb ram

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion

    I have the simular problem.  Run Utilites -> Console.app and find the error message.

    My log is following:

    com.apple.iCloudHelper[530]: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[497]) AOSKC (myApplyID): Failed to store key, couldn't add kc item, error -61 (service=iCloud, dsid=297815451)

    com.apple.iCloudHelper[530]: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[497]) AOSKC (myApplyID): Failed to store account info key (dsid=297815451).

    com.apple.iCloudHelper[530]: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[497]) Failed to store account info for appleID=myApplyID

    Several hours as can't find the solution. Look at the Console log. May be it help you to find the way.

    Just soled the trouble by reset keychain. Look at

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1544

     

    • Open Keychain Access, which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
    • From the Keychain Access menu, choose Preferences.
    • Click General, then click Reset My Default Keychain.
    • Authenticate with your account login password.
    • Quit Keychain Access.
    • Restart your computer.

    The error I'm getting in the log is about accepting the icloud terms and conditions. Unfortunately I can't find anywhere to actually accept them...
