I'm now a 1%.

Such precision there. Shame not the case with the iOS and OS X software quality.

I'm now a 1%.

I finally get to be a 1%er!

So my Mac keeps crashing and I cannot access my notes on my Mac from my Windows PC....

A "proud" one percenter over here too! I am expecting an important email currently and am wondering if it will be there when the servers get fixed. I tried to send an email from another account to my iCloud account and it is not returned to the sending account, hopefully those mails won't be lost.

All good here. Thankfully.

This is precisely why I hesitate relying 100% on iCloud mail.

What, do you mean that there are services out there that do not have outages? Or do you mean you have a backup email account? If the latter, I have four email accounts but basically only use the icloud account for personal and a work provided account for work. the other two (gmail and yahoo are basically dormant accounts).

Another 1% here. Unlikely odds are usually on on my side when it's for something bad.

I can use Notes, just that it doesn't sync over iCloud.
I really hope I don't lose my notes, as last night I wrote a huge To-Do List plus important planning Information.

Only had one outage with gmail in who knows how many years. I'd prefer all Apple, but they're just not reliable enough.

Working perfectly for me. I can't remember ever suffering an iCloud outage, and that's incredibly impressive. I found Google and Microsoft services to be far more unreliable.

 

[seamusk]

Mine just came back on-line.

 

[Amazing Iceman]

I was able to jumpstart sync of my Note by using Handoff on another iPad.
After that, the note started to sync between the two iPads and my Mac.

Or just simple coincidence? I see all the Notes started to update on the third iPad just now.

Me too.

Friday the 13th can't get any better when you know you belong to 1% group

 

[avanpelt]

This is precisely why I hesitate relying 100% on iCloud mail.

Eh, Hotmail was having problems for a good portion of the day yesterday such that messages sent to hotmail.com/msn.com addresses were bouncing back to the sender as "Service Unavailable". These things happen.

 

[CyberGene]

My account is finally up. New mails are there, so nothing lost.

 

[LogicalVue]

Good to know. It was down for me for several hours this morning (Maine), but seems OK now.

 

[aberrero]

Of course it is. It's iCloud.

 

[SimonTheSoundMa]

I'm in the 1%, now flame me!

 

[dumastudetto]

Very quick response and resolution from Apple. Outstanding as always!

 

[Crosscreek]

Yep...fixed
