how to solve "Verification Failed! There was an erro connecting to the Apple ID server"?

Answered by DTS Engineer in 811718022

Wow, this thread is really old!

Apple Developer Forums exists to help developers build products for Apple platforms. This thread is too long for me to review every post, but it seems to mostly be about problems using Apple products. If that applies to you, I recommend that you raise your issue over on Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support. You’re more likely to find help there than here.

On the other hand, if you are building a product for an Apple platform, you’re in the right place. However, given the age of this thread it’d be best for you to start a new thread that discusses your specific issue. Make sure to choose your topic, subtopic, and tags carefully, to attract interest from the relevant folks.

Given the above, I’ve locked this thread.

I was having the same problem, trying to give our iPhone 7 to a friend. Tried for days and kept getting this error when attempting to log out of Find My Iphone. All I needed to do was sign into Wifi and it worked.

Apple id verification problem

Hello guys, I recently encountered this problem on my friends iPhone.
The fix is to go into Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.
Once this process is complete go back into Settings->Apple ID->Sign out.
Hopefully this fixes your problems :)

I changed the time to the wrong one, and set it to "Automatic" again, it solved my problem

Yep - unchecking 'Set Automatically' for the time and switching to another time zone worked or me.
Then I switched 'Set Automatically' back on, all worked OK then.

Go figure ...

I had same issue, it was solved by using old password of Macbook Pro on iPhone, Because old password was stored in last backup.

I just got a new iPhone 12 today. Can't believe how idiotic it is to not be able to login to my Apple ID when all the info was transferred from my old phone. In any case, I went to settings / Date/Time. changed it a few times, then changed it back. And it worked as others have noted. so stupid!

If you use Norton 360 and you are restoring your phone you will need to remove this in order to sign in and complete restoration… hope this helps others!

on latest phones this happens if your not connected to a wi-fi server, since apple needs the internet to verify that your ID and password is correct, So check your wi-fi
