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?
iPad Air, iOS 9.0.1
Same problem as you, none of the suggestions helped. I fixed by going to "manage your Apple ID" and changing my password, then entering the new password on the phone.
I think maybe Apple changed their requirements for passwords -- as I was changing mine, it said I had to use both 1 uppercase letter and 1 number, neither of which my old password had.
So maybe that shift made my old password invalid on the new system even though it was still a correct password. Talk about a stupid oversight.
This totally works.
Thanks!
Thanks Grant...This is was very helpful. Checked all options and this option worked like a charm. Always helps to cover the basics checklist first.
Nope, it didnt work, which is really strange
Yes, same solution I had. Make 100% certain your wireless is ON.
Check if the date and time on your device are still correct. I had not used my iPhone for several months and after updating date and time I could connect again to the iCloud server.
I'm having the same issue
Think I know the problem. Connect to wifi then it the error message will go away and you can sign in to iCloud or your account.
Why does my iPad apple say verification failed there was an error connecting to the Apple ID server when I try and log my self in face time I have done everythink and it's not working
I have the same problem and tried your solution and that didn't work either. 😟 Bummer
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.
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!
Thanks! i realised my wi-fi was out too :-)
Verification failed : There was an error connecting to apple id server
