ios 10.3.3 "there was an error connecting to the apple id server"

Hi,

I have an iPad4 which recently was updated to 10.3.3 (the latest available today).

Since then I cant log in to AppStore/iCloud.


When i go to Setting/SignIn, type login/passwd I get

"Verification failed

There was as error connecting to the Apple ID server"


At the same time, with the same wifi I can log in to AppStore/iCloud from my iPhone6s without any problems.


Whats up?


Thanks!

i had this same problem but on my PC running windows 10.

couldn't get iCloud for windows to work either, same ID error.

Spent 90 minutes on the phone with Apple support, tried a bunch of stuff, nothing worked.

Told me to contact Microsoft, that it was their problem not Apple's.


Then I tried one last thing...I turned off 2 step verification on my Apple account,

I was immediately able to connect to iTunes but still couldn't connect to iCloud.


Then I uninstalled iCloud, rebooted, reinstalled iCloud and viola', I was able to get into iCloud.


So the issue would appear to be that Apple's 2 step verification process in Windows doesn't work; not sure who's to blame, Apple or Microsoft but this "process" doesn't work right.
