Verification Failed. There was an error in connecting to your Apple ID

I have an iPhone 5c and I've been trying to log onto my iTunes and Apple Store in my settings, but I keep getting a "Verification Failed. There was an error in connecting to your Apple ID." error. I don't know how to do resolve this. When I go onto my iCloud on my iPhone it says that my email is not verified even though I went to my email and verified it, it isn't recognized as verified on my iPhone.

This was driving me crazy! Accidentally the "set time/date automatically" had been turned off and the date was way off. Turning this back on made everything work again! Apple ID worked and all Google apps (YouTube) started working again.

This could be caused by a number of scenarios. One of the most common things to check is whether you're actually connected to the internet (preferably WiFi)? I have seen many people not realise they weren't connected, especially after an iOS update.

In addition, two of the most common things to try are:

• Doing a full reboot of your iPhone (i.e. holding down the Power and Home buttons simulatenousy for about 10 secs until you see the Apple logo on a black screen)
• Logging out and back in. (See steps below)

You don't actually clarify what version of iOS you're running, but here are some generic steps to take:

1. Go to Settings >iTunes & App Store
2. Tap on your Apple ID at the very top
3. Tap on Sign Out
4. Now sign back in

Hope this helps. Let us know you go, as there are other possible ways to fix this.

Try this:

1. connect via wifi
2. go to Settings > iCloud
3. click on your account
4. generate a verification code from another Apple device which uses the same Apple ID, by going to (the other Apple device and click) Settings > iCloud > Password and Security > Generate verification code
5. enter the verification code in the device with the error
