Multiple iCloud Services Experiencing Issues (macrumors.com)

Posted by msmash on from the call-it dept.

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.

      It's very convenient to just store your content and data on your own hardware. Your weird rant about hunting for food, etc. makes you sound deranged. Are you just another crapflooder?

    Becoming a 'certified UNIX' basically means paying a fee to The Open Group who own the Unix trademark.

    I own a Unix license plate that I bought on the Open Group website about 15 years ago. It' so an authentic
    Unix license, from the company that owns the trademark.

    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.

    Funny that every single version of OS X/macOS since 10.5 (Leopard) has been a Certified Unix (something NO Linux will EVER be).

    It is funny that OSX / MacOS seems to be the only OS that wants to be certified as another one. This is quite a strange thing to be proud of as a mac fanboi.

    You're really disappointing. I thought you would come back with something about POSIX compliance, testing, etc.

    You pay for the license, for the piece of paper that says that your software is in compliance. It isn't worth it for Red Hat because they don't need that sort of 'bullet point' on their advertising.
