After updating to iOS9 I can not sign into iCloud and restore my backup. Now I do not have access to anything on my iPad air. Any way to fix this?

I resolved this after speaking to Apple Support. The following does not delete any data or media. It will remove things like background, screen lock pin and wifi authentication - you'll need your WiFi password to hand before you do this.
1. Select Settings--> General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
2. Confirm Reset All Settings
3. The phone will restart. Takes about 2 minutes.
4. Once restarted, go back inot Settings --> Wifi
5. Re-select your Network and enter your password
6. Re-try logging in to iTunes and/or iCloud with your username and password.
This worked for me. I hope it works for you.
Remember to re-add your screen lock password.
For everyone with this issue check and make sure your settings app has access to cellular service. Settings->Cellular then scroll till you see the settings app.
Nothing is working!!! Got a new iPhone and now my iPad isn't working with wifi or anything, also I signed out and tried signing back in and now it won't let me.
Thanks, i found out that the date is out of date, i set it up automatically and it did work, thanks
For Developers:
- If you have Charles Debugging Proxy (or some other proxy) on, that will result in this kind of error. Turn it off for the log-in and it'll work.
Setting date and time to to update automatically worked! I was just about to give up on my son's iPad when I came across this suggestion. Thank you!
This worked! Thank you.
I’m working on a iPhone 5s and I can’t seem to get to reset it to factory settings
Brilliant! Thank you!
I’ve been trying to figure this out for over an hour and all other ‘fixes’ did not work!
Thank you
I have this question too
Thanks! i realised my wi-fi was out too :-)
THANK YOU for this (though it's over a year old). I was trying to get my daughter's iPod set up for Christmas & had tried everything under the sun. Doing this fixed it. Thanks!!
Tried the Network reset. Did not resolve the issue. Still getting the cannot connect to Apple ID server.
