Error Connecting to iCloud Hello I have a 2016 macbook pro running Sierra 10.12.6 The following pathway is not working for me: System Settings > iCloud > Account Details > enter @mac. com password. I am getting an error message "Account Details could not be opened because of an error connecting to iCloud." I also often get an error message while I'm online, saying "Could not connect to iCloud" This is despite me being connected to the internet, despite iCloud System Settings saying I am logged in and despite me definitely using the correct @mac.com iCloud password as I am able to log in to my iCloud account via the iCloud website. Not sure what the issue is. Can anyone please help ? TIA

Mac cannot connect to iCloud This question was posted in June 2018 and none of the suggestions work for me. This problem started when I updated MacOS to 10.14.6. A window keeps popping up which says "This Mac can't connect to iCloud because of a problem with <apple id>. Open iCloud preference to fix this problem". I open iCloud preference and enter the password to proceed and this message appears "An unknown error occurred" and the there is no end to the loop starting from the beginning! In the process, my mail boxes and iCloud drive files have disappeared. I have gone through at least 30 discussions in various forums about the exact issue as mine. I have tried almost all the solutions suggested except probably formatting the Mac. I have tried the following: 1. Changed password 2. Signing out of iCloud on this mac does not happen as the same error shows after entering the password 3. Restarting and shutting down the Mac several times
