Try rebooting holding shift to boot up in safe mode, which will delete any temporary files, then do a normal restart and see if you're able to get to the iCloud system preferences pane. If you can, sign out of iCloud and back in again.

Are other Smugger being driven mad by it? Googling the problem comes up with pages of complaints about El Capitan and iCloud but no solution that works for me. I can't access the Internet from my MacBookPro. I get error message saying there is a problem with authentication. But when I go to iCloud in System Preferences I get a spinning beach ball. On one occasion I got through to the iCloud page but when I clicked on account management, everything stuck even the daisy wheel. Anybody else having this problem and if so how have you solved it? Yes I have rebooted several times. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
