Are you trying to email a photo from within iPhoto when you get this error message by any chance?

Go to iPhoto>Preferences>Accounts and adjust your iCloud account settings to match the image below (filling in your own iCloud ID). Your settings may be out of date; especially if you migrated from MobileMe as iPhoto probably still has the old MobileMe settings.

Also be sure the password is your iCloud password.
