iCloud and Many Other Apple Services Are Down or Experiencing Issues [Resolved]

[TinyMito]

Could be to interrupt Russia's tank from using Apple Maps and get lost once again.

This outage oddly worked out for me. Was buying a new 16" MBP on the apple website for delivery Wednesday when everything went down. So I went to Best Buy's website and got the same one for same day delivery. Two days sooner.

Fear not, the geniuses are hard at work!

Ummm… surprised no one mentioned the possibility that this may be a cyber attack by a foreign bully? According to down detector, several other systems are facing issues like AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, AWS, PayPal, Google and Google Maps, Spotify.. ?

Seems like everything (Apple wise) is okay again here in Denmark ??

Spotify is also down

My Spotify is working with no issues.

As noted in this site, the Apple system status site is pretty much useless. It takes them 10 to 15mn to update it and by that time everything is back on. You want to monitor MacRumors for downtimes!

Yes, that's how I found out about it. I have push notifications enabled for Macrumors both in Firefox, and safari.

I don't have anything of value in the cloud, well I will have backups but I also keep a local backup as well. Same for music and movies, I have streaming services but the movies and music I love I buy and own so I am not dependant on any streaming service being up or for some reason dropping an artist. I use Amazon music, it has been pretty consistent but all the big guys get hit with something at some point.

Yup!
Cloud services are for streaming, back up and easy access while on the move.
Anything important or wanted with 100% reliability should be stored locally, and backed up.

Several people did...

Private Relay is still down...

What we see is the downside of cloud services. Apple should move most services back to on the devices. In the end there is nothing that speaks for a cloud. Sync between apple devices could be done via local wifi too. They should implement this in the next OS versions.

No issues here: Files, Notes, Photos, all syncing OK on my iPhone and iPad.

 

[Shanghaichica]

Apple Music is working via my HomePods but not on any of my iPads, iPhone or macs.

 

[Bahamut Eos]

Maybe access to the status page is also down?

LOL

 

[testcard]

Apple status page showing iCloud services available again.

 

[m7ammed]

Was just trying to download some apps from App Store and it isn’t working still.

 

[BobSc]

Here everything is working absolutely fine.

and just where is "here"??

 

[dysamoria]

Apple status page showing iCloud services available again.

Not in my area... toward the east coast...

 

[CmdrLaForge]

Russian attack?

Could be. It is imaginable.

 

[Realityck]

Seems to be up again here local Apple campuses

 

[eRondeau]

He pulled that plug again...

If you had only read a few of the recent posts, you'd know the cause of the problem. It isn't the ruskies.

I’m UK.

 

[antiprotest]

Crazy. All systems seem to be showing as availablelable via systemstatus

That page is always late. They find out they're down from macrumors.

 

[840quadra]

Here I thought my cMP was finally dropped from support as I couldn't download episodes I purchased recently.

Cloud is super fun isn't it.

 

[Ghost31]

My Spotify is working with no issues.

My Apple Maps is working right now too. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t down today

So Apple's own DNS servers are redirecting developer.apple.com to something on "akadns.net", which is operated by Akamai. But Apple's own DNS servers refuse to resolve that, probably because it's not in the apple.com zone.

It's clearly a botched DNS configuration. Not clear what the intent was. Did they really want to point "developer.apple.com", a web site, to "developer-cdn.apple.com.akadns.net", which is a DNS server? Or am I misreading that?
