I Cannot Log In to My iCloud Account. What Could Be the Problem?
From time to time, some users experience iCloud login problems, but these are usually fairly easy to resolve. Naturally, the first step is to double check that you have definitely entered the right Apple ID and password, paying careful attention to typing errors and case sensitivity.
If you are sure you are entering the right information, it is worth checking Apple’s own system status page, which you can find by clicking here. This will tell you if there are any current server problems preventing you from logging in, or if you are trying to sign in during a scheduled maintenance period.
Some users may see an ‘Unsupported Apple ID’ error message when trying to sign in. The simple explanation for this is that your Apple ID is not compatible with iCloud, most likely because you do not own a compatible Apple device. If you are trying to sign in on an iOS device, you may need to update the software.
Finally, if you see an ‘Authentication Failed’ message, this may be an indication that you either changed your password and have tried to enter an old one, or that your account has been accessed by someone else. If this occurs, you should reset your password by following the steps outlined below.
I Have Forgotten My iCloud Password or Apple ID. How Can I Reset Them?
Apple’s requirements for a strong password, combined with the prevalence of websites requiring usernames and passwords, means that it is somewhat inevitable that some users will forget either their Apple ID or their password. Fortunately, the iCloud service has been designed to include solutions to this problem.
On the main iCloud sign in page, underneath the login boxes, you can click on an option labelled ‘Forgot Apple ID or Password?’, which will then take you to the Apple ID recovery page. If you have forgotten your password, simply enter your Apple ID in the relevant box and follow the instructions to reset your password.
Alternatively, if you have forgotten your Apple ID, follow the same procedure, but instead of entering your Apple ID on the recovery page, click on the ‘If You Forgot Your Apple ID, You Can Look It Up’ option near the bottom of the screen. Here, you can enter your first name, last name and email address to recover your Apple ID.
