What is going on with iCloud?

I have an iPhone, iPad and MacBook, and it seems like nothing is working - music, calendars, contacts, podcasts, mail are all screwing up.   I upgraded to v. 11.1.4 about 3 weeks ago and that seems about when everything started screwing up.  I download podcasts and music onto my iPhone, but when I am away from Wifi, it won't play unless I enable cellular data.  Most of the music that I have synced on my iPhone is no longer available to play when I am away from Wifi and shows up as being in the cloud, even though I have it checked on iTunes to synd to my phone.  If I enable cellular data, it seems to play, but I live in a rural location, and have AT&T so my cell reception is awful, and I can't use this in most locations.  My Ipad suddenly doesn't show my contacts or calendars any more. It shows my gmail calendar, but my iCloud calendars don't even show up.  I could go on & on.  I have been a long time Mac user, but I am very disappointed with the lack of functionality and the frequent failures.  I have talked with a few other friends who are having similar problems.  Does Apple know about this, and are they doing anything to fix it?

There was a iCloud outage earlier with mail.

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • What's going on with iCloud 3/11/15?

    What's going on with iCloud on 3/11/15? I can't sign in & asked over & over to log in. I need to get into iCloud pages to create a document. Same issues with iTunes.

    iCloud appears to be mostly up now, but there's still some issues as reported storage is wrong and attempting to change storage plans results in an error.  icloud.com is saying I have no documents or Photos stored, despite the fact there is stuff stored in iCloud Drive and iCloud Photos, both of which are currently working.
    I tried calling support, but they couldn't help me without a PIN that you need to get from appleid.apple.com and trying to sign into that site results in an errors, so there are major problems today.

  • TS4002 what is going on with icloud mail??

    mail has been down since 10:00 PM 9-10-12, what is going on???

    This has been widely discussed, but obviously in the user-to-user forum no-one can possibly know what the issue is. Apple's status report simply states the bare facts:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
    Given the time this has been going on it's obviously something pretty serious, and they're certainly working on it: but I'm afraid there isn't anything you can do except wait it out.

  • What is going on with iCloud?  My photos haven't uploaded to Photostream on my computer and I keep getting an error when I try to log in to my icloud account!

    My photos from my iphone 4s have not uploaded to my photostream folder on my laptop in over 2 weeks.  Also, when I try to log in to my icloud account, I keep getting an error.
    Can anyone explain what is going on and when I can expect my pictures to stream automatically again?

    randers4,
    Thanks for your suggestion.  I started to sign off, but was uncomfortable deleting iCal data from my iMac in case there were old entries not sync'd to iCloud.  So I decided to  only delete Notes data from my iMac. 
    I first checked Notes on different devices and saw that they contained more data than my iMac, so I was pretty certain this is what I had in iCloud (another way would be to log on to icloud.com).  I then unchecked Notes under System Preferences>iCloud, which prompted me to delete Notes from this Mac.  I clicked on Delete from Mac, allowed it to finish, then clicked on the Notes checkbox again, and it sync'd the data from iCloud back to Notes on my iMac.

  • What's going on with icloud.  Can't get or send emails.

    All of a sudden my email stopped working.  Is anyone else still having the same problem? Thx.

    I am.  I have snow leopard and it keeps asking me for my mobile me password and sign in on my mac pro and macbook pro.   Iphone mail works as does going in through the net and signing into the cloud there.  but mail on my computer is not working.    Is this a problem with the server or me.  right after my drive completely died and is clicking on mac pro.  Probably a coincidence but holy cow, talk about bad timing.    I thought at first that my mac pro and mac book pro had a virus but the mac book pro is still up and running, just no mail!

  • What is going on with the FATAL error message????

    What is going on with the FATAL error message????

    Same issue, since last night. Can't sign in to iTunes, download apps, or updates to apps on any device. I have iPhone 4S, iPad mini, MacBook Pro. East coast, writing this at 1:21pm EST. Changing password doesn't work. I can't log in with my iCloud address either. I have however noticed at least that if  I enter the wrong password, I just get the incorrect password message. Using the right password gets the FATAL:: message every time.
    I have my devices set to UK for the region even though I am in the US. Though that might have something to do with it so I switched to US- no change, same problem.
    I agree that acknowledgement via their system status would be appropriate. Irritating that they are not at least publicly acknowledging there is a problem. I would feel much less concerned if I knew that they were aware and working on it. Can't find a support number anywhere but I did send a brief message via their help/contact page.

  • 2011 Macbook Pro suddenly says no space available on start-up disk (plenty available) and USB drawing too much power (only charging phone). What's going on with my computer? No longer able to charge my iPhone 5.

    Hi, all.
    Two days ago I was using my computer, a 2011 Macbook Pro, and suddenly got the error message reading "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    I was only using Google Chrome, nothing was running in the background, and I have 443 of 449.25 GB available (this is after clean-up I conducted after receiving the error message, but probably cleaned up less than 25 GB), so there should be no shortage of space. However, the message kept popping up and I deleted a few files and eventually it went away and hasn't reappeared.
    However, last night and then again this morning I have been getting the error message that my USB drive is pulling too much power and has been disable. All that was plugged in was my iPhone 5 on the charger and my computer is also on its charger, so I don't know why this would be an issue, either. I have always charged my phone this way and never had a problem until today.
    I haven't been able to charge my phone since. What's going on with my computer?

    Regarding the USB, see if zapping the PRAM helps.

  • Why does apple make it so difficult to understand what is going on with my one to one?

    Does anyone have any answers for this? I don't even know where to list it here as a question.
    Just spent over 2 hours, off and on, trying to get someone at apple to help figure out what's going on with my one to one. They give a number for help but there's no one there - only more gibberish about go here go there go all over the place on their site.... So called 'customer service' doesn't understand my question? Another place it says call the store, well that was another waste of time....
    If I get a message saying my one to one is expired and then I pay for it via paypal, wait for the activation email. I sure don't want to pay for something I already have - that was my grocery money for 2 weeks.
    When I click on that link it says:
    Activation error

  • What's going on with U-Verse in South Miami

    For the past two months, we have been getting dropped signals (bundled U-Verse and including landline, mobile phone, television and internet) sometimes three times a day. I have had phone calls drop while speaking to my boss, (I work from home) favourite shows will all of a sudden give us that no service screen, which means we lose portions of the dialogue, and the internet stops working. I have not dared to call ATT as frankly the only solution that Customer Service seems to know is "Oh it must be your RG that needs changing." Well that's a load of rubbish since if it's the RG then ATT have some serious problems as I have spoken to at least six people that I know that also have U-Verse and they are all having the same problem, but kept thinking it was just them. 
    The internet signal has also got painfully slow and since we pay a juicy bill of $315 dollars a month and subscribe to the best package that U-Verse has to offer, I do not expect to have these constant problems. Nobody is perfect, and a little issue once in a while is acceptable, but not two to three times day! In addition... we receive an electronic bill and this has been a very hectic month for me, so realising that today was the 12th and I know that the bill is usually due sometime around this time of the month, and not having received a bill, I went online to investigate. Sure enough - on login to the payment page, it said "past due!" Well send me a bill and I will pay it. I just don't know what is going on with U-Verse but it is very distressing. I believe the saying is that they have, "Gone to ** in a handbasket." On a positive note - we can now apparently fast forward and rewind On-Demand TV shows, and which made no sense before that this feature was unavailable. However... this does not make up for the recent poor service and non-arrival of my electronic monthly bill, ( will have to go back to paper - not cool) and then having the nerve to tell me "past due."
    [Per Guidelines:  Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].

    Chris, As explained, and to be honest I am usually very long-winded and detailed in my explanations because readers miss things, as you might have done in this case. It is not my problem alone. Whenever we have a problem with any utility or especially in the case of ATT services, I always check with anyone that I know that uses the service and over a broad area, not just in my street but anyone I know in an approximate 8 - 10 mile area, to see if our issues are isolated just to us. If they are, then I know that it is most likely a piece of equipment we are using. In this situation, as there have been in others, every single person that I spoke to is experiencing the same situation. And again - this is why I said that I have thrown up my hands in exasperation and usually get another family member to call customer service if there is a problem, as I know exactly what they are going to tell me. "Let us check your line - (you then spend 45 minutes on the phone with them) No... everything seems fine, it must be your RG, you need to buy a new one." Mea culpa - I have no patience or time for scripted c.s. reps.  Two years ago, we had a lightening strike that literally struck the ATT box next door. The wires in all the boxes on the street (including the ones in our yard) were fused and black when the box was opened. And yet... when one of my neighbours (who apparently did not connect the lightening strike with the loss of service - sigh... what can I say...) called ATT, they got the same response. "No, we don't see any problems here, it must be your RG." Com'n! It was a lightening strike!  And on an aside - the new cable is now still hanging from my backyard fence as they were supposed to come back to bury it. Two years ago... So the dear space-cadet neighbours, paid for a new RG, hooked it up to find there was no reception (ya think?) and to then find out that theirs was just fine, and now there was the hassle of having to package the new one and take it to the UPS store to ship it back, and which is another frustration, because it is not possible to return it to a local store or office. Unlike yours truly, they apparently did not do their research with other users, even though we had no service for over a week.  So - by a process of survey and elimination, it cannot be the RG, unless everyone I spoke with is using the same RG. But there have been quite a few changes that we have noticed recently, ranging from new look menus, to those very beautiful images when first turning on the TV. So is it not entirely possible that in all the changes and tweaking, something else has been affected? Look it happens - but I can never understand why they can't just say,"Sorry, we are working on "upgrades" so we apologise but you might experience these little set-backs for a while until we are through." Why always blame it on the RG? Another way to make more money?   

  • What's going on with my fonts?

    Does anyone know what is going on with my fonts?!?! When italicised text is shown in Safari (seemingly coded with [em] tags), it gives the following:
    !http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture2.png!
    and when I tried to look at the user manual for my new LaCie, this pile of gibberish popped up:
    !http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j84/tony_barnes/Picture3.png!
    Any ideas?
    I've got boatloads of fonts installed (1500+) and haven't managed to match it to one, nor can I seem to find any settings that may be of help for sorting it out.
    Cheers,
    Tony

    From all the other posts on the forum about deleting Time Phonetic, it doesnt exsist on my mac. So wondering if i am gettng same problem with a different font.
    Your problem is different and more difficult, since your Latin is not being replaced by junk characters. I think sometimes it is caused by bad font caches and sometimes by duplicated Latin system fonts. For one possible fix you can check out this:
