Same here, iPad Air2, iPadOS 15.8.4

Customer service tried a lot of things like: "force reboot, iPad iTunes firmware update and also EULA confirmation"

Today at 6pm they will call me back from engineering team...

Seems like they are working on this issue

I am experiencing an issue with my iPad Air 2 running iOS 15.8.4. Prior to a factory reset, the device was functioning normally. However, after restoring the device to its factory settings, I have been unable to sign in to my Apple ID. The system consistently displays the message: "Verification Failed. Please try again later."

When attempting to create a new Apple ID, I receive a different error: "Verification Failed. There was a problem connecting to the server."

As a result, I am currently unable to download or use any applications from the App Store. This issue has significantly impacted the usability of the device. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this matter.

Just spoke to support, I have an air 2 aswell, 15.8.4. Not an issue with the account itself. Tried logging into account.apple.com and iCloud.com on the iPad,

it worked there but still didn't want to lolg in via settings. They suggested to try to force update it through iTunes, I don't have the right cable on me right now to test, but will check in later tonight if it works.

You might be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page.


Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

FIXED for me.


I don’t think I have the exact solution… but you could try this:


Log in to account.apple.com using Safari, and also log in to iCloud.com. After completing both steps, try logging in again on iOS.




I was able to access my Apple account after doing these steps completely by chance.


The engineering team is aware it worked for me because, luckily, I did it while I was on the phone with them.

hope it works for you 🤞🏻
