Having problems signing into icloud in system preferences on my desktop after system update to 10.12.5. I can sign in on my other devices and signed in on my apple account online. Could this be caused by a keychain problem?
macOS Sierra (10.12.5)
I signed out of iCloud and then back in. Messages, which was open, connected automatically again as soon as I did that but within a few minutes it disconnected. I tried it again and reentered my password in Messages and it seems to be ok now. I didn't realize I had to add the password again in Messages.
Thank you again.
Ok, signing out and back in fixed the issue. I should have tried that first.
Thank you!
Quite often it is, yes.
Thanks, but how do I fix it?
If it is a keychain issue you may need to start a new keychain, but I'd exhaust other options first, have you tried anything to date?
Other than restarting the computer, no.
Are you able to sign out of your account in system preferences?
😎
Oh, I spoke too soon. It worked for a few minutes, Messages connected but it has suddenly disconnected again.
The messages sign-in and the iCloud sign-in are separate things.
Are you still signed into iCloud?
Is there anything else you aren't signed into?
Account Details could not be opened because of an error connecting to iCloud.
