Error Connecting to Apple ID Server? How to Fix it on iPhone/iPad?

 "There was an error connecting to the Apple ID Server" message sometimes appearing may be attributed to a poor internet connection, Apple servers down, software bugs, iOS glitches, etc. This problem seems to be difficult, yet it's easy to fix. Please read the following tips. 

1. Force restart the device

When the error first showed up, the first and quick way is to force restart the device.

For iPhone X/11, simultaneously press down the Side and the Volume buttons until the Slider is shown, then drag on the slider to turn off the iPhone, finally hold the Side button to turn on your device.

For iPhone SE (2nd) /8 /7/6, press down the Side button until the Slider is dispalyed and drag on the slider to switch off the iPhone, finally hold down the Side button to switch on the device.

For iPhone SE (1st) / 5 and former, press down the Top until the Slider is presented, then pull on the slider to power off the iPhone, finally hold the top button to power on your device.


For iPad with Home button, hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the interface.

For other iPad versions, each quickly hold and let go of volume up and down buttons, then press the top button until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

2. Check network connection

Since a strong network connection is necessary when logging into Apple's servers, you may be wondering whether the Internet connection is poor. Thus, just check it and do a reset about the network.

Steps: Head to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.

3. Re-sign in the account
