I was wondering if anybody has experienced this problem...
A few weeks ago, I noticed that in my System Preferences, the iCloud icon had a message/alert on it, so I clicked on it to see what the deal was, so I entered my password & got the message “There was an error connecting to the Apple ID server”...so I tried again, same message...shut down, re-booted, tried again, same problem. Since that day, I've tried probably 8-10 times to sign into iCloud from High Sierra (10.13.3) System Prefs and still get the same connection error, so I've been trying to figure out why that's happening, researching Apple Support and various Forums, etc... & haven't found any of the same issue with a resolution.
I use Little Snitch & this morning I had the following outgoing connection alert :
"identityservicesd tried to establish a connection to 10.1.10.230 on UDP port 60669"
I remembered I had received a similar message not that long ago, so I checked and it happened on Feb 21, 2018:
"identityservicesd tried to establish a connection to 10.0.0.14 on UDP port 63478"
Both times I denied the connection attempts since the 10.x.x.x range is for Private LAN's, I wasn't sure what was happening & why that process was trying to connect to those IP's.
I don't use the 10.x.x.x range of IP's on my home network, I use the 192.168.x.x range, so of course my interest was peaked once again to figure this out...
I'm wondering if these 2 problems/circumstances/issues are somehow related, but as I think about it from a logical standpoint, it doesn't really make sense why that process would try to connect to that IP range, instead of a Public range and/or Domain.
Any thoughts or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
