Q: I can't sign into iCloud from my system preferences
A few weeks ago, my iCloud Calendar on my MacBook Air stopped syncing and the warning triangle appeared next to it. The calendars on my iPad and iPhone are still syncing perfectly. The only way I can access my calendar on my Mac is to go directly to the iCloud website, however, I prefer to use my Calendar App directly from the Dock, as I always have, until now.
My OS X is Yosemite 10.10.2
Calendar is Version 8.0 (2032.6.1)
Here are the 'trouble shooting' steps I have taken so far:
- Restarted my computer (numerous times)
- Checked my Apple ID and password are working on iTunes and App Store (which they are)
- Checked the iCloud service status (no problems there)
- Removed my ICloud Calendar from my Mac (and now it won't reinstall because I can't sign into iCloud)
- Tried to sign back into iCloud on my Mac, via System Preferences > iCloud and also System Preferences > Internet Accounts. I keep getting a message saying "Can't sign in at this time - please try again"
The problem does not appear to be with iCloud itself, it seems my OS will not allow me to connect to it.
I am now at a loss as to what to try next. can someone please help me ?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
