Q: "Your Apple ID or password was incorrect," trying to create iCloud account

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and want to create an iCloud drive in System Preferances. I used my Apple ID which is the same one I used to login in here, in the iTunes store, the App store, etc, and get "Your Apple ID or password was incorrect.gen

This is a 1st gen unibody MBP (late 2008) 15 inch 10.10.2 8 gigs ram.

Thanks in advance for any help rendered.

Greetings Mr. Raven,

If you are getting an error message that your Apple ID or password is incorrect when attempting to create an iClou8d account, I would suggest you use the steps in this article to change your password -

Apple ID: Changing your password - Apple Support

I do understand that your Apple ID is working correctly for other applications. Changing it should force a refresh of the system.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Be well,

Brett L

Does your ID take the form of an email address? or is it one of the old ones which could be just a name? If the latter you will have to change it to an email address at http://appleid.apple.com
