Unable to accept iCloud Terms and Conditions in macOS Ventura

Hello everybody.

I have the same problem here.

On System Settings, I always see the red badge with 1 message, I open System Settings, I go to iCloud Terms and Conditions, I check the checkbox and I accept the terms, but still not working.

If I repeat the task, I get an error (alert) for a few seconds on my screen. I captured it with screen recording. The message says: "Unable to activate iCloud due to a server error". I tried out everything with no success.

Tips from @ASTRO24 don't. work for me.

Any idea?

Thank you so very much, signing out from iCloud and then signing back in worked for me too. I was going crazy for the last week trying to resolve the issue.

Hi cyruslwc,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you're getting notifications for terms and conditions after you have accepted them. If you have not done so already, restart your computer. Restarting your computer restarts processes.

If you have any security software or a VPN connected, disconnect and disable it and try to accept the terms and conditions.

Enter safe mode and try to accept them. Safe mode limits start up programs while running a health check.

Hi @cyruslwc.

Thanks for replying.

Thank you very much.

Safe mode did NOT work for me. iMac 5K, 27" 2020 Ventura 13.1.

Signing out of iCloud and signing back in DID work...so far.

Reset SMC and NVRAM instructions readily available oin the web

I did it trying to get rid of daaly restart because of some power instructions issues and voila! the terms and conditions message went away. I restarted my iMac 3 times (shut it down and started, and restarted command) no message.

I did but no luck. By the way gorget about my solution it only worked for a day
