Overview

  • Apple's System Status page shows an active outage that began at 5:49 p.m. and lists iCloud Calendar, Contacts, Mail, iWork for iCloud and Game Center as affected.
  • A separate Apple notice warns that Find My may be slow or unavailable and 9to5Mac also reports problems with Photos and iCloud Account & Sign In for some users.
  • The outages are causing user-facing problems such as failed iCloud sign-ins, inability to send or receive iCloud email, and interrupted calendar and contact syncing.
  • Apple has provided no public cause or estimated time for recovery and news sites such as MacRumors are monitoring the System Status page for updates.
  • The disruption could hinder everyday tasks and device recovery for many customers, so expect continued service and sign-in issues until Apple posts a resolution on its status page.
