Widespread MobileMe Outage Affecting Mail, Me.com, and Find My iPhone - Page 2

Dr McKay · Sep 30, 2011, 08:03 AM

And thank God it's a widespread thing, I thought it might have been a problem with my account, because my friend with MobileMe was completely fine.

It is now nearly 12 noon on Friday in NYC and my MobileMe account still is down. I called Apple and they advised me that the server still is down and that they expect it to be up and running soon. We will see.

The server has been down, at least for my service, since late last night, which is rather inconvenient for my needs. Here's hoping that they resolve this issue ASAP.

Yep.

I decided that my Mail was on the fritz about 10 PM Mountain time last night. By about midnight, I was getting the password/account not recognized message.

This morning a few emails trickled through and I no longer got the message about the account/password being unrecognized.

I highly doubt that this is in any way connected but the online system of Bank of America has been down for at least 3 hours now also. Two very high volume systems that are offline....who knows though.

Related or not, I can’t say, but the iTunes app review submission system has been down or glitchy for me during the last day or so, on and off.

Too many people cancelling their BoA accounts due to debit card nonsense.

But wasn't it nice not being bothered by pesky emails? Although I did worry that something happened to my Mac until I saw MobileMe was having troubles.

This is why I use google to synch everything.

How odd, lots of banks over here in the UK went offline last night, it was chaos in the stores.

I noticed that I could not submit reviews within App Store on the iPad, but I could submit reviews in iTunes on my MBP.

Not exactly sure why no tech site or news organization didn't pick up on the widespread outage of wither the banks or MM. But BofA didn't come back online for over 14 hours. It took until almost early this morning before I could fully access my account.

I'm missing emails to.

Having emails missing is a BIG issue and needs to be fixed asap!

Hopefully for iCloud they won't even need a "System Status" widget on there website.

"Due to high demand, we are temporarily limiting the number of users moving from MobileMe to iCloud. Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience."

I hate Apple.
MobileMe members have been paying for a service. Some of us almost 10 years. Then Apple have the genius idea of making it free. Do they let mobileme members migrate first? No. JobBlow gets it cloud working. Paying members can't not.

I migrated to iCloud yesterday (with my families stuff).

Nothing works now. Password rejected.
I can log into iCloud on the web, so the password is correct. Apple are so incompetent that they can't manage to propagate the password over all its servers. How hard is it with Rsync?

The Rumor that Apple is dumping Sun/Oracle servers for HP and Microsoft cloud may be true. This will never work then.

So Apple, what was that big data center in NC for?
