In certain cases, you may encounter the message "An error occurred connecting to the Apple ID server." What to do in such a situation, we will consider further. The described situation may occur when you try to log in to your account after updating the iPhone.
Status
So, the device says "An error occurred connecting to the Apple ID server." How to eliminate it, we will consider in stages. Because of this, of the functions of the phone, you can use almost only calls. Apple services are becoming unavailable. For example, you cannot use the App Store.
In addition, if the device displays the message: “An error occurred while connecting to the Apple ID server,” iCloud will also fail to activate. There are several options for resolving this issue.
Account
We see - an error occurred connecting to the Apple ID server. It is necessary to check whether the identifier used is valid and correct, that is, working at the moment. To do this, we go to the official Apple resource and specify the account information. If this does not open an account, register a new one.
If the account is working, and the message “An error occurred connecting to the Apple ID server” did not disappear, you should find another reason for the failure. Note that the problem may occur on the iPhone and iPad.
The problem may wait at the activation stage. You can try to perform this operation through a computer using iTunes. In addition, you can skip creating IDs. This is done after the device.
Instruction manual
If the message “There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server” appears on the loaded device, you should pay attention to the state of the branded services themselves. In some cases, difficulties arise in their functioning. Be sure to correctly set the time and date. When automatic detection is not possible, we specify these parameters manually.
Your device must have the latest version of iOS. Test versions of the platform can also cause such a failure. In the case of using beta versions, the owner of the device assumes additional risks, since he does not use fully finished software. Errors in this case can occur quite often.
You also need to check your internet connection. Sometimes the connection may stop working and still show a good signal. You can sign out of your Apple ID to fix the problem. To do this, go to "Settings" and select iTunes. Open the App Store and apply the "Exit".
Next, reboot our device. After that, using your own identifier, we re-enter the account. As the most radical means, you can use complete data deletion. You must first create a copy in iTunes or on a personal computer.
The cause of such problems can also be jailbreak. If the previous methods were ineffective, stop using it. This can only be done correctly by restoring the iPhone.
In rare cases, a similar crash is possible when working with iTunes. To fix it, we check the connection of the computer to the Internet. Firewalls and antiviruses can block access to various Apple servers.
Disable protection for a while. Install the latest version of iTunes. If an Apple ID was used on a personal computer, we “untie” it from the application.
To do this, launch iTunes - in the upper left corner, click on "Store". Select "Deauthorize computer." Next, reboot the PC. We try to come in again. The attempt is likely to be successful. The main options we have discussed.
