I've been having problems with iCloud sign in ever since I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago (seriously, every device freaks out and asks for you to re-enter your password a million times). So I thought this was just me, until I checked the Apple Services site.
 
Down for me as well, Sherman Oaks CA. Anyone getting a request to enter your password?

Yep. I'm in Atlanta and BusyCal started prompting me to enter my app-specific iCloud password almost an hour and a half ago. Came to MR to see if there was a story on iCloud problems and didn't see a story at the time so I just created a new app-specific password and entered it into BusyCal only to get the same password prompt.

About 10 minutes ago, my Mac popped up a message saying there was a problem with my iCloud account and to open iCloud Preferences in Control Panel to fix the problem. I didn't bother doing that since the problem is clearly on Apple's side.
 
I just got a message saying 'there's an error with my account' and have been trying everything. Guess I'll just wait.
 
Down for me in Michigan as well. rMBP started asking me to sign back into iCloud so I figured there was an outage.
 
What's the difference between a red square and a red triangle?

I see only 'All Good' (Green Square), 'Service Issue' (Yellow Diamond), 'Maintenance' (Blue Circle), and 'Service Outage" (Red Triangle) as statuses so the outage with the red triangle appears to be the most severe status.
 
You're right. It is normal and people should shut up complaining about it. There are 1,000,000,000 devices connected. There's no way to maintain 100% uptime.

Not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic, but...users who pay for additional storage on iCloud may disagree with your assessment of what level of downtime is acceptable, and whether or not they should just "shut up" about it. If they wanna make additional storage free, then maybe we'll "shut up about it" when it happens.

My iPhone says that the password for iCloud is missing and that I need to enter it in Settings. It's still getting mail though.
 
Afternoon Eddy.
Thanks for clearing things up.
I see you're new to EmojiRumors.
Welcome aboard.
No worries. I'm not new to this forum...

The following never seems to get into people's heads.

Unicode create the Emoji's, not Apple.

Do you understand the first part? Unicode are not Apple. Apple are not Unicode.

Apple are simply keeping up to date with the standard. If Apple didn't update them and left them outdated, they wouldn't work on newer devices.

You're beating a dead horse. A majority of people do not and will not understand this even if Unicode themselves posted an article that Apple is not involved in the creation of Emoji.

I pay for additional storage on iCloud and I disagree with you. No service has 100% uptime.

Damn, I wish I had noticed this thread before I reset my app-specific email password, re-entered my payment card details and wasted an hour generally chasing wild geese! :rolleyes:

Oh well, now I can get back to my day job of, erm, writing software...

I'm being serious...

It's like software, nothing, nothing is perfect.

People really expect the world to be perfect don't they? I feel sorry for them.
