    Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings

     

    You will have to reconnect to wi-fi and change some things after.

    But this will not delete anything. Hope this helps.

     

    I know I have been looking for a solution for a while.

    Also the other thing I found was about the find my friends app. None of these issues worked for me. Please post if you find anything that works.

     

    I thought the above was the answer, it didnt pop up on mine for a while so I was excited and wanted to share. Sorry!!

    I'm in the same boat. I updated to ios 7 yesterday. I kept putting it off, hoping all the glitches would be taken care of. Everything was fine, but the icloud. It asks about the terms and agreement, but it won't connect to the server to let me do it. It is also showing an old apple id from over 5 years ago.

    The find my friends "trick" didn't work for me or resetting. Think I'll need to call in.

    Ok I was finally able to accept terms, the above comments did lessen the pop up but still was happening.

    This is how i was able to accept the new icloud terms

    Went into settings and then re-entered my password when it brought me to that page

    Then i went into mail settings and saw that one of my mail accounts had the new terms at the top. It was blue

    And the settings were not available (lighter hue/greyed out) until I clicked on the blue new terms then was able to agree.

     

    I will let you know in a day if i still have same issue. But I'm pretty confident this resolved it!

    Penny this solved my problem.  Go to Mail, contacts and calendars and click on the Apple mailboxes that use iCloud. As you said you will see it in blue text, the new terms and conditions!  I did NOT need to reset my iPhone.  Saved a lot of headache.  You were spot on!

    HOLY CRAP!!!  That did it, at LONG LAST!  his has been driving me bonkers for months and absolutely nothing fixed it.  In fact I caused myself a lot of grief by trying the "Reset Settings" solution that was proposed but did nothing for this issue.

     

    So for anyone finding this in the future... if you have multiple mail accounts set up (or as in my case, my wife's account that was sharing only her calendar with me), it might not be obvious what the problem is since you won't see anything from the settings page.  So do this...

     

    1.  Open Settings

    2.  Scroll down to Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select it

    3.  Select EACH of the accounts listed there in turn, until you find one that says at the top that there are new iCloud terms to accept.

    4.  Accept them, agree to the pop up, and you should be all set again at last.

     

    Thanks again pennyleo!!
