"The icloud setup seems to go into a loop. I follow the instructions in the Verify Apple Account per message below: the system goes through the verification process, sends verification code to my iPhone, I type in the verification code on my PC (withWindows 11). But the icloud app returns me back to this screen - and this message. I would love to debug this problem - help!"

Thank you for the followup reply, and then screenshot.


Verifying your Upgrade:

Login here, and see if you see you iCloud+ in your Subscriptions: https://account.apple.com/account/manage/section/subscriptions


If so,...

A. Start with a Restart:

Restart your PC.


B. New iCloud Logins:

Sign out of iCloud on all of your devices, and then sign back in, one device at a time.


C. Turn Off VPNs:

Do you have a VPN turned on? IF so, turn it off.


D. Temporarily Disable Security Software:

Do you have any Security Software turned on, on your PC? If so, turn it off while this is performed. Reenable it, once successful.
