Apple's iCloud Went Down Early This Morning (And It's Still Having Problems)

Associated Press

iCloud, Apple's web-based service that syncs content between your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, went down early this morning.

9to5Mac first noticed the outage.

The outage means Apple Internet services like email, calendar, contacts, photo backup, iPhone/iPad backup, etc. did not work for most users.

As of this writing, it looks like some features in iCloud are still down, including photo and document syncing and iPhone/iPad backups.

Apple is often criticized for blowing it when it comes to web services like iCloud and iMessage. Both go down all the time or fail to work as advertised. This is just the latest in a series of screw ups.
