Find My, Photos and Some iCloud Services Experiencing Issues

[MacRumors]

Apple's Find My feature, photos, and some iCloud services are experiencing service interruptions at the current time, so if you've run into problems, it's because of network issues.

According to Apple's System Status page, there is a Find My outage that is causing the service to be slow or unavailable for some users.

There are also issues with iCloud Account and Sign In, iCloud Calendar, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Mail, iCloud Web Apps, and Photos. Apple says that some users may be experiencing issues with these services, though not everyone is affected.

Find My has been down since 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, while the other services have been having problems since 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. We'll update this article when the outages have resolved.

Update: Apple says all of the issues were resolved between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

That’s an interesting definition of network issues. 😉

Great timing, just in the middle of trying to book a complex holiday and I'm stuck waiting for verification emails

 

[SuzyM70]

I'm getting an email error too, from Australia – "The connection to the server failed".

Find my has been wonky since 26.2, especially when locating other family members. There is a significant delay in locating devices, sometimes by more than 30 minutes. Anyone else have this issue with find my?

normal for indie company like apple. Not enough server money.

Is it fixed yet?
How about now?
….now?

Ugh, I can’t get to my recipe for Gourmet Pop-Tarts à la mode 🤭

Ohhhhhh, so I’ve been trying to “Find My” “Photos” in “iCloud” and that’s why it’s not working.

Apple must be getting ready to release OS 26.3.

“Just kidding”

It’s the AWS DNS outage this afternoon. They got it fixed so things should be back up.

Use gmail

 

[Zenman12]

I’m good. Just got another email for Apple credit card (again) in mail app. My phone carrier. That’s another issue. 😑

Really?
“If you’re experiencing problems, it’s not because your phone is broken, or needs a software update, or a reboot.”

 

[Apple MessagePad]

People see this story and while they'd be impacted in no way at all, because they have no reason to use location services right now, they go and try it, hitting the server when it's already experiencing issues and further causing problems. Really smart.

Amusingly, just as I was responding to you to say it was still down iCloud came back up for me. 😃

 

[dss33k]

I’m unable to receive any emails. I needed an emailed receipt for a purchase I made for support, but it failed to load.

 

[S.B.G]

Yup I’ve had issues with iCloud and Mail for the last 5 hours so far. It’s annoying but not the end of the world for me.

Really! The network is working fine, it's only Apple's services that don't.

*urhm* . . . that sounds like a great idea.
