i cant log into icloud on my new phone as it says trouble connecting to server
I can’t log into my iCloud on my new phone as it keeps saying trouble connecting to server and an unknown error has occurred. What do I do?
If your new iPhone shows “Trouble connecting to server” or “An unknown error has occurred” when signing into iCloud, try the following steps:
1. Check Your Internet
Ensure you're on a strong, stable Wi-Fi network. If possible, switch networks or use mobile data briefly to test the connection.
2. Restart Your iPhone
Hold the Power and Volume button, slide to power off, then turn the phone back on.
3. Check Apple’s System Status
Visit Apple's System Status page to see if iCloud or Apple ID services are down.
4. Update iOS
Go to Settings → General → Software Update and install any available updates.
5. Disable VPN or Security Apps
Turn off any VPN or security app temporarily, as these may interfere with Apple’s servers.
6. Try Again Later
If Apple’s servers are busy, especially during peak times or setup periods, wait a bit and try again.
7. Contact Apple Support
If none of these work, reach out to Apple Support for further assistance.
