how to solve "Verification Failed! There was an erro connecting to the Apple ID server"?
I was having the same problem. I changed the time setting on the phone for 24 hour clock, so it now shows AM/PM, and that resolved my issue.
Still not working=(
try resetting your time and date. This worked for me. Hope it helps...
Total crap but this works.
I had this problem recently when trying to set up my new iphone 7. Finally figured out that even though the phone said I was connecting to my wireless network, the wireless router said that the device was not connected. I don't know why. To work around the issue I rebooted my wireless router. After that the router showed the iphone device connected and I was able to authenticate to the Apple ID server.
I was also able to get around this by not connecting to wireless during the iphone setup and using cellular, however that doesnt work with restoring an icloud backup. For that, I had to connect to the network.
This solution really helps!!
Go to appleid.apple.com, edit & disable the two-factor authentication in security. Signout from icloud in phone and re-login..works!!!
It did not work
iCloud.com
Choose "iCloud" icon
Manage ID
Sign in again on the redirected page to iCloud
Scroll down to "Devices"
Choose the device that is giving you that error and select "Remove from account"
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 :)
Try resetting all settings (instead of network settings) i posted the walkthrough above your post. It should work as i did this yesterday :)
Then I switched 'Set Automatically' back on, all worked OK then.
Go figure ...
