iCloud down
The website Is It Down Right Now shows that there is a problem with iCloud, and there are many complaints from users saying that they’re having problems with it. It took at least 30 minutes for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) to acknowledge a problem, according to Mac Rumors. However, the company does show problems on its System Status page.
The page shows problems with all iCloud services, including backup, Mail, Notes, web apps, storage and everything else that’s remotely iCloud-related. The System Status page also shows problems with Apple’s Back to My Mac service, Documents in the Cloud, Find my Friends, Find my iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mack, iMovie Theater and Photos.
