Verification failed : There was an error connecting to apple id server

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.
