New iCloud Terms and Conditions message says I must accept new terms etc. I click continue and get Cannot Complete Action message stating “This action cannot be completed at this time.” Only option is to click OK. Restarting iPad changes nothing. iPad 5th generation; iPadOS 16.7.10.
iPad, iPadOS 16
Same issue with my iPhone 14 on iOS 17.6.1. No matter what I do, I always get the message that the action cannot be completed at this time.
I tried this. I used Safari to log on to iCloud on the web. I never got any message about Terms and Conditions. Everything (Notes, Calendar, Photos, etc.) was syncing normally with both my MacBook Pro and iPhone. As near as I can tell, iCloud is working properly on all of my devices, except that I continue to get alerts on my iPad that I won't be able to use iCloud on my iPad until I accept the T&C. Trying to accept the T&C results in the same "can't be done at this time" message.
Will Apple reveal its little secret or are they too embarrassed to admit their little f---kup?
16.7.10 says up to date on my iPad. Can’t go no higher, I was going to try your suggestion but it’s not available on my iPad Pro
For anyone else experiencing this issue, do your app installs also freeze at about 60% progress? (Circle more than halfway filled in)

Currently trying to upgrade to iPadOS 18.1 to see if that resolves it.
Me too, iPhone 7 Plus. Can't access my Notes... :(
In other words they are trying to FORCE us to upgrade to the new AI version of IOS??? That's why this is being PURPOSELY done. No thanks. I was just on the apple website last week "shopping" for a new iphone. When I seen the total at checkout I got sticker shock and backed out. I will switch to android before I allow this final slap to the face. I have only used iphone since the iphone 3G. I have had enough. Tim is THE WORST ceo in history. I used to pretty much be an apple fanboy but not loyal to the point of stupidity. The last few years have really pushed me away from them. This literally might be the final straw for me. I remember when we laughed at android and windows users for things like this as we bragged about how great and problem free apple was. We can't say that any longer. I can't believe that I appear to be the only human on earth that sees what a disaster Tim is. I am the ONLY person I know who talks about it.
Same problem with my iPhone 8 running 16.7.10… everything otherwise running fine but I can’t turn off the “new iPhone terms & conditions” button. APPLE PLEASE get ON THIS!!
Same here. iOS 16.7.10 for iPhone 8. I've tried every reddit trick I've read. Log out of your account log back in. Check your mail account log off that. Update to iOS 17 or 18 (iPhone 8 isn't compatible with iOS 17 or 18). Take your phone to the apple store and do a hard reset, make sure its a hard one. And if all else fails, pray.
None of the above should really be necessary to resolve the issue. My photos are actually syncing to cloud and I just completed a manual backup so not sure why the Apple ID's are glitching.
Apple just needs to get themselves sorted and provide some direction for the users impacted.
Just got my post deleted for simply criticizing this situation and apple. Apple, here's the word. That was THE FINAL straw. I am officially done after almost 20 years of buying everything apple. I am going the way of android and Linux. You people are as bad as microsoft these days!
I updated to iOS 18 and everything’s working again.
Just updated to 18.1 and this sorted the problem for me.
I fixed my problem by updating the software to 18. It won’t work if you only update to 17.7.10
My phone is an SE 2020 with a weak battery. I've been avoid upgrading to iOS 18 in case it has a higher drain on battery.
in any case, forcing people upgrade to iOS 18 is not the proper solution. Apple needs to fix this error!
If you have Version 18 your fix won't work on older devices.
Apple chat and telephone support have both said that the engineers are aware of the problem for those stuck on the iCloud terms with Version 17 and are working on it.
If your maximum version is below 17 then your device is no longer supported.
My iPad had an update today to 17.7.2 and this fixed the issue. There is also an update iOS 18* and maybe that will do the same.
unable to accept new icloud terms and conditions iPadOS 16.7.10
