Multiple iCloud Services Experiencing Issues (macrumors.com)
Several iCloud services are experiencing problems this afternoon, users reported. While Apple PR has not issued a statement yet, the status page of Apple services reflect the issues, too. Citing people and the status page, news outlet MacRumors reports that Cloud Drive, iCloud Mail, iCloud Keychain, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Calendar, Mail Drop, Find My iPhone, and more services are performing "slower than normal" for some users.
Proactive shift to the backup Xserves?
No.
This is why i am not a fan of the "cloud" I prefer to have my data on my device where ic an access it even without internet!
Really, I don't, because Android rules and iPhone drools.
Well, people seem to think that the "cloud" equates to infallibility. Like the global YouTube outage last week there is nothing magical about the cloud. It's data centers and servers run by big tech companies that get billions for your personal data so they can collect more of your personal data.
On that note: It wouldn't surprise me if the outage is software. I've been using OS X since it was called NeXTStep, or NEXTSTEP, or NeXTSTEP. Whatever. It was a good operating system. When I had a PowerPC laptop running OS X I felt like I had a fantastic portable UNIX workstation.
Fast forward to the last time I used iOS: v12. It seemed painful, poorly designed, centered around media consumption and little else, but most of all: buggy. Very buggy. Buggy enough that I gave up on it (I'm back to a pure Linux desktop).
Apple's software culture has been going down hill. Steve Jobs wasn't a genius at running a company but it does seem that Tim Cook (basically an "optimization" guy) has caused them to stumble time and time again. If you don't like Apple check out Louis Rossman's YouTube channel for some great Apple rants too.

Cloud stuff all experiences problems eventually. Nothing you can really do but learn to deal with it. Maybe have a backup plan, or just find the nearest bar and wait it out. Your depending so much on other having their poop in a group and sometimes that just doesn't happen.
Nazis are the enemy of WHITE America. We're going to hang each and every one of you treasonous inbred nazi faggot children just like Grandpa did in Europe. You are traitors. Traitors hang. Welcome to America, nazi scum.
You will not survive here.
You will understand the scope of your mistake soon, lol, as Trump Junior realizes what it feels like to be raped to pieces in Federal prison. You deserve it. Everything you have done has brought you here, to this point.
And now you're going to get fucked by it until you die, nazi scum. Real Americans don't goosestep, cowardly faggots. Jesus would skull fuck you apostates and I'll piss on Trump's grave with your whore mother, my new bitch.
And there's nothing you deplorable nothing traitor faggots can do about it.
Killing nazis is a strength and an American tradition. We're going to hang each and every one of you ugly inbred faggot nazi children from your bitch traitor necks. That's after you get the Trump Junior treatment in Federal prison, of course.
If you self-proclaimed "nazi killers" can't produce a logical response to such a basic and easy to understand article then there's no reason to fear you. Let me know when you learn how to reason, that might actually make you dangerous.
Apple pushed an OSX update a few weeks back that caused the iCloud sync on both my wife's and mother in law's computers to hammer the Internet connection. Was averaging about 30Mb/s whenever she had her laptop on.
We turned off sync for photos and it stopped. It wouldn't take to many OSX users behaving like this to clobber any assumptions about usage.
