Apple outage hits iCloud sign-in, Mail, Photos and Find My
Apple's status page lists outages for iCloud sign-in, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Photos, iWork and Game Center for some users since 2:49 p.m. Pacific on Nov. 10, with Find My slow or unavailable.
iCloud Mail, iCloud Calendar, iCloud Contacts and iWork for iCloud have been down for some Apple users since 2:49 p.m. Pacific on Tuesday, Nov. 10, according to Apple's System Status page. Game Center is listed with an outage too. Find My, flagged a minute later, carries Apple's milder "issue" label, with the note that it "may be slow or unavailable."
Apple says "some users" are affected. For Game Center, it says it is investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available.
The status page showed no current problems with iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, iCloud Backup, iCloud Keychain or the App Store.
If iCloud Mail will not load, a shared calendar stops syncing or an iCloud sign-in fails, check that page before changing settings on a phone or computer, because resetting a password or removing and re-adding the account is unlikely to help while Apple has the service marked down. People trying to locate a lost iPhone, AirTag or Mac with Find My may see it respond slowly or not at all until the issue is cleared.
Developers had a separate, shorter disruption earlier in the day. Apple's developer status page shows an App Store receipt verification outage from 10:12 to 11:02 a.m. Pacific, since resolved.
