Troubleshooting iCloud Login:

There seems to be an issue connecting to Apple's servers. So, refer to the following. If of no success, then try later on. Report back the results.


A. Close All Apps:

Close all apps, and try this once more. Use Force Quit for this. See if this applications open. If that is the case, save what need be (if possible), and then Force Quit. Attempt this once more.

  1. Go To: Apple Menu
  2. Select: Force Quit...
  3. Select: An Item Ending in: “Not Responding
  4. Click: Force Quit button


B. Restart the Mac:

Shut down to Mac for 30 seconds, and then boot up login in normally


C. Boot in Safe Mode:

In Safe ModeLogin Items do not run at login, certain preferences are set aside, and damaged system files are then reset. So, once booted in to Safe Mode, attempt another update install. For instructions, go here: How to Use Safe Mode on your Mac - Apple Support


D. Ethernet Adapter:

If you have the availability, then connect using Ethernet. This would be an adapter to use: The Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple


E. Restart the Modem:

Power off you modem for 30 seconds by unplugging it. Power it back on, performing all of the above, once more.
