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

Like jamimiranda, "Find my Friends" app let me accept terms there but when i went to settings to check- icloud is still giving me the "unable to connect to server" error as well.. Also, icloud on the phone is showing the wrong (old) email address for me.... it is gray and i cannot update it, even following instructions to a "t".

If I delete my old icloud account, will I lose all my notes and other info?

I found that if I had not set up my WiFi from the beginning, I couldn't get past the Terms and Conditions. I restarted my phone a few times and finally got back to the WiFi settings. I entered in the infomation and was able to get past the Terms and Conditions. I hope this helps someone else that is getting stuck on this problem.

I hope this helps.

Go onto Settings and click on Accept Cookies and select Never. then go onto Advanced and put Javascript on in case it's off. After that reset the device by pressing On/off Button and Home Button at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Once the Apple Logo appears release the button and wait for the device to come up again. try again and accept the terms and conditions, now the accept button should appear. After you've accepted the terms and conditions you can put those settings back to the original if you like to, but it shouldn't interfere with the normal functions of the device. Work for sure!

Tried all of the suggestions above. The only thing that worked for me was deleting iCloud from my iPhone5. Then I went back into settings clicked on iCloud, and entered my email address (they call it Apple ID which is VERY confusing) and my password (which I call my Apple ID) and everything was restored, nothing was deleted and the annoying "cannot connect" warnings stopped. I had accepted via Find My Friends earlier, so I didn't need to do it again, apparently.

The Find My Phone trick did not work for me. What did work was the recommendation to sign in from a computer. I used one of my windows boxes, signed into icloud, rebooted my iphone and the problem was fixed.

Please help! i have tryed to do the "Find my Friends" app thing but when i try to sign in it says that i'm not connected to the internet. I have also tryed to delete my icloud account but it ask me for my email and password and then it says that verification failed and something about that im trying to connect to a server that is pretending to be "set.icloud.com". somebody help please

Tried everything, even spoke to apple customer services and got no where. I decided to cancel or delete iCloud from my iPhone then sign back in and happpppppy days it worked, it didn't even ask to accept terms and conditions buzzin :-)

I had this issue on my wife's iPhone 4 after updating to IOS 7.0.3. After turnning on Location Services (it had been disabled during the upgrade setup) everything began to work again. My guess - Apple uses some strange geolocation data to show you the correct terms and without it, it cannot determine which server / page to pull it from failing with the ridiculously useless error "Unable to connect to server".

There is a good chance the people installing "Find My Friends" inadvertantly enabled Location Services (required) when installing this app and "fixed" the problem that way.

I hope this helps someone, I know these forums have been a great help in the past!

Hi. I had no luck with Find My Friends.

I went to i-cloud settings and hit DELETE ACCOUNT (kept contacts and calendar etc on the iphone)

Signed in again and away I went.

Now I can restore to back up again.

Phew.

I have tried all of the above mentioned and is still not letting me connect to server. I went into my phone shop and they think it could be a software issue as it has terrible service in areas. But I have restore the phone twice and still nothing. Next stop kicking down apples door

I solved the problem myself by temporarily removing all restrictions. Then I could access iCloud settings at once and accept terms and conditions. I had restrictions on safari to use data-traffic, only to use wi-fi. Why WI-FI was not enough I don´t know.

I'm having the same problem and the Find My Friends didn't work. I'm utterly amazed that Apple hasn't addressed this and that tons of people have mentioned spending hours on the phone with Customer Care and still no solution which means, even in spite of a known issue, the idiots at Apple will talk you in circles just to make you feel better about a crapy product.

I had the same problem and the fixes listed didn't work. However, what did work was to go to the icloud screen on my iphone, then scrolled to the bottom and deleted (to delete the account associated with my icloud). Then, I put my account and password in again (on the icloud screen) and all then worked.

ok so here is the simplest solution i found. remove your icloud account from your phone. ( this will not loose any of your data) then simply re log into the icloud and set it up again. problem solved!!!!! no need to download any apps or anything

I did it.

I logged into the web icloud and it didn't asked me to accept any terms and conditions.

I have an ipad with the same Apple ID and the iCloud services go normally there.

My problem is with my wife's iPhone only. None of the solutions have solved my issue.

Tried them all, besides erasing my iCloud Account.

Had sent an email to Apple and I'm waiting for a clue......
