Anybody having icloud server problems today? No incoming mail

I haven't received any emails for the past 16 hours.  I see from earlier posts in September this was an apple server problem.  Does anyone know anything more?  Any solutions?  Thanks in advance.

No email for me since last Thursday evening--9.27. After 45 minutes on the phone with Apple last night, I was told that it's a server issue and they just have to work it through. It could theoretically be days.
When I looked on iCloud, it seems that they added an "[email protected]" to my main alias, they deleted the primary email address (an alias), which was a "[email protected]" In effect, they deleted my main email address. People who send me emails are getting a failure notice—it says it's "an unknown or illegal alias."
THIS IS MY PRIMARY EMAIL ACCOUNT! What if I were a freelancer? What if I were on a job search?
Sorry to vent, but this is inexcusable.
P.S. What do you use an alias as your primary email, you may wonder? Well, I married and changed my name. But Apple won't allow me to update my Apple ID accordingly AND will not allow me to transfer my perferred email address (the alias mentioned above) to it's own iCloud accout. Ridiculous.

  • TS4002 Anybody having icloud server problems today? No incoming mail

    Dear all,
    I'm not receiving any mail guz Icloud tells me it has a server problem. I can send mail but not receive any. I can send myself a message using gmail sending it to my own gmail adres and I receive in my Mail program, no problem, it's just the ME account that does not work on any of my apple devices. I've checked the setting in the prefference from the Mail program, they all seam normal......ANY tips???
    Thank you so much,
    Simon

    Most inconvenient... trying to run a business and I made the mistake of using my me.com acct. for business rather than the old Yahoo acct.   I haven't been able to receive email all day either.
    Seeing that it's affecting less than 1% of it's customers, really is annoying for some reason. 

  • Is anyone else having icloud server issues today? I cant log on at all today

    I am not able to get onto icloud today. it said " icloud encountered and error while trying to connect to the server" is anyone else having the same issue?
    thx

    Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
    Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. 
    If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.

  • Icloud server problem

    I keep having problems with the icloud server.  Can't send mail from my computer and keep getting error message in my calendar.  When I tried to sign into mobile me, my id and password is not accepted.

    MobileMe closed over a year ago: attempting to sign into it will produce no result. Do I gather that you have the MobileMe icon in your System Preferences? In that case you need to upgrade your operating system in order to see the iCloud preference pane.
    If you have Lion 10.7.0 or 10.7.1 you need to update it to 10.7.5 - you can do this from Software Update for free.
    If you have Snow Leopard (10.6.8) or earlier you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion if your Mac meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Mail server no longer accepting incoming mail

    First off, let me just say that yes, I broke it. This is on an iMac G4 with Server 10.4.11.
    So here's the problem. I am by no means a qualified Server Administrator, but since I am a relatively knowledgeable computer geek, my boss plugged me into this position while my department is slow. I've been tasked with figuring out a few nagging problems with slow mail delivery, among other things.
    I did some serious Googling on the issue of slow mail delivery, messages getting stuck in queue, etc. I determined that the issue was with spam filtering and anti-virus. Following some great documentation from osx.topicdesk.com, I updated and configured clamav, amavisd, and spamassassin. Miraculously, this actually solved the problem, and everything was working great.
    Until today. Today I noticed a log entry that reverse DNS lookup of the server's IP (192.168.1.1) had failed. Googled again and found some info on setting up DNS on the server, which I did.
    There was a secondary goal for doing this. We are a small company that hosts our own email and a tiny web server on a machine at our corporate office. Our remote locations have always been able to get email from the server via POP3 using the FQDN mailman.mycompany.com, which has a public IP address. Our router is configured to forward traffic to that IP to the private IP 192.168.1.1. However, all users at the corporate office had to be set up to use server IP 192.168.1.1 to get their mail because there was no way to resolve the FQDN into an IP that was visible on the private network. Or maybe there was/is, but I don't know about it. Anyway, we have a couple mobile users that work at multiple locations. They are set up to use the server's FQDN, but every time they come to our corporate office, they'd have to change their mail setup if they wanted to get mail, because once they're behind the router, the FQDN doesn't work. I think that makes sense.
    The Server is also the DHCP server for this site. Prior to this morning, it was distributing our ISP's DNS IPs. Once I'd set up DNS on our Server, I changed it to distribute its own IP as the primary DNS server, and per someone's post, I modified named.conf to include our ISP's DNS IPs. The server name I set up is 'server' and the domain is 'mycompany.com'. I also set up an alias of 'mailman' and set it as a mail server. I then went to a couple of workstations in the building and did a Lookup on server.mycompany.com and mailman.mycompany.com, both of which returned an IP of 192.168.1.1. I did a lookup on the IP and it resolved back into server.mycompany.com.
    Figuring I'd accomplished enough for the first half of the day, I went to lunch. When I got back, I was bombarded with complaints that mails were being bounced when sent from inside the building, and a few people had received phone calls that mails sent to them had been bounced back to their senders. The error given is:
    554 554 <[email protected]>: Relay access denied (state 14).
    (This came from Google. The wording varies from person to person but it's always SMTP 554, relay access denied.)
    In a panic, I un-did everything I'd done this morning, turning off DNS server, telling DHCP server to begin distributing our ISP's DNS IPs again, but I'm still having the same problem. I didn't see how this could be the cause, but did it just as a precaution.
    I doubt I've provided enough information, but does anyone have any initial guesses as to what's going on here?
    ARM

    Thanks for the quick, easy fix. I'm curious if you know what I might have done to cause this to happen. I don't recall changing any Mail settings.
    Sometimes Server Admin "forgets" settings.
    Also, apparently something I did wiped out our IMAP mail store. I had a backup thankfully but wondering how I might have done that?!
    Wiped out at the file level as in no contents in /var/spool/imap/user?

  • Does anybody have a twitter problem today ?

    I'm having some problem here. My twittet won't load all the new tweets, interaction. I've tried logging out and the same thing happened. Can apple or somebody help me here ?

    I've seen that if you use Siri, the problem occurs again.  By restarting it, it will be fixed as long as you don't use Siri.

  • Anybody having troubles Submitting Podcasts today?

    Hello-
    I am getting an error when asked to put in my Podcast Feed URL.
    The error is: We are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later.
    This has been going on all day! I just want to make sure that it is on Apple's end and not mine.

    Here is a link I found:
    http://www.penmachine.com/2005/06/getting-apple-to-accept-your-podcast.html
    The problem may be fixable on our end. If this were happening to everyone I would expect more noise. Are you using WordPress and PodPress by any chance?

  • Exchange Server problem with Tiger's Mail

    I've run into a Mail problem as I'm switching over from 10.3.9 to 10.4.5. I've currently got the two systems running on different partitions on my G4 PowerBook. Everything works fine in 10.3.9. But when using the same settings in 10.4.5 I get the error:
    "The server error encountered was: The server "xxxxx-exchange" refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    But I'm using port 143 in the Mail app in 10.3.9. What could have changed?
    My IT people are of no help, because they want us to use only the web interface and keep all messages on the server. Did anything change between Mail 1.3.11 and Mail 2.0 that would prevent the same setttings from working on the same mail server? I can bounce back to the 10.3.9 partition and mail works fine.
    Thanks!

    I asked this very thing here and got no answer, but it's good to see that it's not just me. I had Tiger Mail working for a few days. Then our IS dept. did some security updates to the Exchange server and that's when everything died. I get the same error you're getting, and I'm in the same boat as our IS people simply don't understand Macs enough to be of any help.
    Anyone out there have any ideas? I've had to resort to installing and using Entourage which works but is a piece of junk. I'd be happy to go back to Mail if it would work.

  • Problems with getting incoming mail

    I just got an iphone and made the move from a pop to an imap Gmail account. Since the switch I had problems with it, and recently deleted it and started the account over. Last night, I had thousands of messages being imported so I thought it would be done in the morning. As of last night I was able to receive mail.
    Then this morning there was a yield sign next to the inbox saying, "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account, or try again. The server error encountered was: Account exceeded bandwidth limits. (Failure)"
    I am able to send mail, but can't receive anything. Apple support created another Gmail email account and had me set it up on Apple mail and it worked just fine. He thinks its something obviously with Gmail.
    Has anyone had this problem?
    Thanks for the help.

    The server error encountered was: Account exceeded bandwidth limits. (Failure)"
    Seems to me that this error explains it all. GMail obviously has some kind of limits on how much data you can download in an amount of time. What that limit is, I don't know. I also don't know what the time is... if it's per day, you may have to wait 24 hours to access mail again. Per week, you may have to wait a week, etc.

  • HT204053 Incoming Mail Server Problem

    Please advise

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have OS X Mountain Lion or Lion, open System Preferences > iCloud and untick and tick Mail again. This will set up again the servers on Mail. If it doesn't work, you may need to set up the servers manually > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864?viewlocale=en_US

  • Anyone having a crashing problem with the new Mac Pro?

    I have a new Mac Pro purchased in January.  I bought it as a front end to my very large mp3 library (170,000 mp3s and over 2,000 mp4s; media is housed on a 12 TB QNAP NAS).  Since day 1 it has been a major problem.  The biggest problem I have now is random crashing--can occur any time even when I am not even using the Mac Pro, making it totally unreliable and a $5,200 paperweight.
    I have had several Apple Care people working on this, but after having been passed around to 5-6 different people, they still have no solution.
    Anybody having a similar problem?

    As today I'm sure I'll not make the purchase again.
    The more I look into this problem, the more people and articles I find about it: and it's more than a month and no update to fix the problem.
    PC alternatives are far more interesting and they still give you the choice of building your machine.
    Apple was amazing 15 years ago, where is the team of developpers that created the old Mac Pro?!
    I want to be optimistic too, but I'm already collecting all the info on how to build an backup machine... since I'm using Adobe CC and other interchangeable softwares, there is no more problems swithcing from Mac to PC and vice-versa.
    I hope there will be a third contender entering the market soon, with a dream computer on Linux. I am on mac because of its reputation 20 years ago, but times are changing and Apple vision seems very different now.
    I'm afraid that WWDC will not announce a thing relevant for the MacPro or computers, we got used now to ear only about phones and tablets...
