I updated the new iOS 7 on my iPhone 4s, i had changed my icloud and apple id a couple months ago, but to change anything on the iCloud settings you have to accept the terms and conditions (new) but everytime i try to it says "cannot connect to server" or something along those lines. is it just my phone? what should i do? someone help!

This... I tried other suggestions like logging into Find my Friends or Find My iPhone and none worked. I finally deleted the iCloud account from the phone and then set it back up again. Bingo, worked and was never asked to agree to terms thus avoiding the infinite loop of being asked to agree, yet system saying server is unavailable.


I would suggest deleting your iCloud account from your phone first and then setting it back up again.

Downloaded this to my 4s have research every thread that involved this problem and followed every ones advice to the letter and am still having this problem...all I wanna do is download an app but apple has made it to where you gotta have a freakin act of congress to do so!!!! coming from an EX app developers opinion as thorough as they are about the perfection of the apps that are submitted they really half assed the development of this software

I wound up trying the find my friends app workaround with no success.


Eventually I wound up shutting down my phone.


NOT powering down my phone. That is, I didn't go to the "power down" option with the red slider.


I restarted the phone, and when I did, it asked me to sign into icloud. Once I did that, it didn't ask me for terms and conditions any more, and everything seems to be working fine.

Have the same problem as everyone else on this thread with my iPhone 4, tried everything but no success. Your idea sounds good to me as Restrictions are turned Off on my iPad which updated seamlessly. On the phone they are On, but I now can't turn them off as I do not have a Restrictions code. I don't remember ever setting one up but I suppose I must have. I have tried my normal passcode and a few other numbers with no success and have 8 failed attempts and getting nervous. Are you able to tell me if there is a limit to how many failed attempts i can have without causing more problems? Apart from iCloud the phone is happy that it is me, I can buy stuff on iTunes for example but can't access any iCloud functions. I can't turn find my iPhone off and therefore can not restore the backup I made before moving to 7. The irritating thing is although I can't turn find my iPhone off, I can't see it from my iPad because iCloud isn't working because I can't agree to the terms. Hoping that apple will release a fix.

This worked 100% for me.

First I turned off icloud in Facetime and iMessenger, no idea if that is required but did it anyway. Then go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and hit Create an Apple ID and set up a new and seperate Apple ID using your old log in email and your current password to make it easy. Do all the steps and fill in the boring form with a current email and verify when they send you the link. Switch you iPhone off and on again. You can now log off your old iCloud account, delete the profile on your iPhone iCloud and reset with your current one.

I found no way of deleting this extra iCloud profile but hey its Apples fault and I wont be using that icloud account anyway. Just stick to your current one and forget it. Cheers and good luck.
