Hey guys, need some help. My Mac is giving me an "error connecting to Apple ID server" whenever I try to log in.

Tried rebooting and checking my internet connection, but no luck.

Any ideas on what might be going wrong? Thanks!
 
First, ensure your Mac's software is up to date. Then, try signing out of your Apple ID and signing back in through System Preferences > Apple ID. If that doesn't work, check your firewall settings as they might be blocking the connection. Lastly, if you're on a corporate network, certain ports might be restricted. Try connecting to a different network or your personal hotspot.
 
I remember facing this issue a few months back. What worked for me was first to restart the router and ensure a stable internet connection. Then, I reset my network settings on the Mac. It also helps to check for any macOS updates and install them. If all else fails, contacting Apple Support is a good idea; they were super helpful when I reached out. Good luck!
 
Try signing out and back into your Apple ID from System Preferences. Also, ensure your date and time settings are set to automatic.
 
Did you check your internet connection? I had a similar issue and it turned out my Wi-Fi was acting up.
 
I had a similar issue and it drove me nuts for days! I finally fixed it by resetting my NVRAM/PRAM. Here’s a helpful YouTube tutorial that guided me through the process. It might work for you too!
