Unable to connect to server to accept new icloud terms and conditions

Is anyone else haveing this issue? On my iPhone and iPad after upgrading to iOS7 I am being asked to aggree to new iCloud terms and conditions, but when I select 'View Terms' to sign it returns an error: 'Unable to connect to server.'


Until i can get this working I am unable to use any iCloud services on both devices. Server overloaded? Anyone else?

iPad, iOS 7

Never say "for sure" because... it didn't solve the problem at all.


I've tried essentially everything people have said aside from deleting the account, because then all my backups will be gone from the Icloud... and what would be the point? That's what I'm trying to get to.


Thankfully it's letting me get to my app purchase history and download the apps on the right appleID now, but it's still refusing to let me synch to the Icloud.

This worked like a charm! Never would I have thought of that! Kudos to you, dude! Even though it was an easy fix, and it's always those that never seem to be tried, people like me would never have tried that! Even so, Apple should address this problem ASAP as it seems it is not an overload of the server and others, lots others, are having same problem. But iOS 7 just came out, so if it's not fixed within the next 48 hours, I'd hate to be the one answering calls at Apple's Customer Service!

Well, then you are so far the only one. I can't remember the site I found the trick on but out of hundreds of comments, not one negative that it doesn't work. Maybe you should connect iDevice to iTunes on PC Or Mac and reinstall iOS 7. And then either try and accept them in settings and if not, try trick again. This has 100% success! Well, 99.9 since you claimed it doesn't work.

Find my Friends always hung and exited as I tried to launch it. But a reboot (it took a surprisingly long time) solved the problem: the terms and conditions were already accepted. After the reboot I was also able to use Find my Friends. Before the reboot I could not get iCloud.com to show my phone's location, it said that it was offline. This problem got also solved.
