iCloud, Mail, Photos and Other Apple Services Experiencing Issues [Updated]
Apple has updated its system status page to reflect ongoing issues with eleven iCloud-related services: Back to My Mac, Documents in the Cloud, iCloud Account & Sign In, iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, iCloud Keychain, iCloud Mail, iMovie Theater, iWork for iCloud Beta, Photos and Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac. The services have been affected since around 12 AM Pacific.
Multiple users have turned to Twitter and the
MacRumors discussion forums to confirm the issues, which range from services running slow for some users to being down entirely for others. The issues follow a prolonged
iTunes and App Store outage in early March and lengthy
iTunes Connect and TestFlight downtime for developers earlier this month.
Update 7:05 AM Pacific: Apple's services are now restored per its system status page.
