What's happening with iCloud e-mail?

A couple of weeks ago my iCloud e-mail address (@mac.com) went down for 5 days. Apple told me at the time that others had the same problem and that they would straighten it out which they did but all e-mails sent to me during that time bounced back to the senders. My e-mail went down again this morning and has not returned. Are others having the same problem? What's going on?
Thanks.

Unfortunately according to Apple support, I need to contact every provider asking them why they are blocking MY email address particularly... (including gmail, hotmail, msn, orange, etc.)
Which is obviously NOT a solution...
Or, it may be a virus (I've run an antivirus and none was reported)
So my only solution is to move to another provider

What is happening with iCloud and its sync with mobile devices?

I have been an Apple fan for 4 years now. I currently have 4 Macs (2 @ 27" and 2 @ 21.5" models), 2 iphones (4s and 3gs) and an iPad (2). I use them all for business and personal use.
Prior to purchasing my iPhone 4s on release day in the UK I was also a fully signed up Mobileme family account user. Everything worked fine. When I purchased my iPhone 4s I switched everything from Mobileme over to iCloud. Followed all the instructions. Initially it seemed to work fine. But over the last few weeks it has all gone horribly wrong resulting in the following; amongst other problems:
iPhone 4s
My iphone 4s will no longer sync mail, contacts and calendar effectively. Mail will sync new mail in my inbox but I cant send any mail and when I do draft a mail and send it dissappears from the outbox, sent box and inbox (i always bcc mail). The number of contacts is a fraction of the number of contacts in my contracts file on my main Mac. Calendar will not let me sync or add any new entries...let alone sync with iCal on the Mac.
iPad 2
My iPad suffers from much of the same problems as my iPhone. When I go to settings on the iPad and go to Mail, contacts and calendar, the iPad just freezes. I then have to hard re-set to get it working again.
iPhone 3gs
I used this before I upgraded to the 4s. It suffers with the same problems as my 4s described above.
iCloud.com
The number of contacts on iCloud.com is fixed at 1625no; whereas my Mac has a clean set of contacts containing 1325no. When I try to delete contacts on iCloud.com it says I cant because of a server error. Mail and Calendar both seem to work fine though.
I am now left with a major business critical problem. Niether iCloud.com, my Mac or my mobile devices will sync with each other. Apple has excalated the problem and my iCloud account is currently being tested. In the meantime my Mac contacts has duplicated and increased upwards of 4,000 contacts.
This whole journey of bad expereince is driving me insane and making my love of all things Apple wain.
I have restored my mobile devices about 8-9 times each. I have restored from previous versions stored on iTunes and also set them up as new devices....which as any of you will know is a laborious process because you have to reconfigure the Apps icons each time you do this as a new device! None of my attempts have fixed the situation.
Are we or have we been used by Apple as guinea pigs to test the iCloud which, according to the communities and discussions on this site, leaves a lot to be desired. This is having a dramatic affect on my quality of life and business.
Please help me.....

For the most part if you just get a new webhost you can continue to run with iWeb. Since you are still running Tiger iWeb should work just fine for you. You will simply need to publish your website to a folder or with the built in FTP in iWeb. Apple has simply quit updating iWeb & there will come a day when iWeb quits working in the later OS's whatever kitty comes after Lion.

What would happen with iCloud content when an iOS device is stolen?

What happens when an iOS device gets stolen. Are my contacts, calendars... in danger? When someone delets the content from one device, it is also deleted from my mac. What could I do to prevent this?

Yes content deleted from one device is deleted from another if it's deleted from within the application that uses it. Deleting the iCloud account from a device won't affect any other device.
You should turn on find my phone on each device and if it then gets stolen you can wipe or lock the device from another device or iCloud.com

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?

What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
It restarts and I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7. (I know I am expecting a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

Hello, Fightlikeaninja.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WITH IWEB NEXT YEAR WHEN MOBILE ME CHANGE TO ICLOUD?

WHATS GONNA HAPPEN WITH IWEB NEXT YEAR WHEN MOBILE ME CHANGE TO ICLOUD?

Don't use all caps. It's tantamount to shouting and more difficult to read.
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

My mobile me will also download my pop mail will this also happen with icloud?

my mobile me will also download my pop mail will this also happen with icloud?
When I read the information it seems to say it will then it won't

This facility is not available in iCloud. Before migrating you should turn it off in MobileMe as otherwise you may find it continues to operate in iCloud for a time (this is effectively a bug) with no way of turning it off since it isn't supposed to the there.

What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!

What's happening with my 2ndGen AEX at night? Pings sometimes go over 1000ms!
My Airport Extreme is perfect all day but sometimes late at night my ping goes over 1000ms. Wired or Wifi is the same. There's no rhyme or reason as to when it happens either. Random times and random nights (sometimes several nights in a row, other times not for week or more). Resetting doesn't help, but If I go direct to the modem, pings are around 15-30ms... normal for me. It's been a problem for me for a while now, and I'm not sure if its the latest firmware update that did it. I first noticed it playing my Xbox 360 sometime last summer or fall. The ping times will suddenly (usually around midnight or 1am) be so high that I can't play any multiplayer games. I go to speedtest.net and my ping is anywhere from 500ms to 1118ms is the highest I've seen. If I reset the router, it is fine for a couple minutes and then right back to to the high pings. As I said, the modem is fine when I go direct, so something is causing the Airport Extreme to have trouble. It's not the XB360, cause it also happens with my XB1 and only at night. I play during the day, as well, and have no troubles.
I believe that there are certain programs that can cause this, like Vuze, but this only ever happens when everyone in the house is in bed, and both mine and my wife's laptops will be asleep. I do have a Mac Mini connected to another TV in the house, but the only thing it should be doing at that hour is its hourly Time Machine backup to a USB drive plugged directly into it. I do have a network drive attached to the AEX, but I only use that for manual backups for our laptops, neither of which is being done when this occurs. My wife and I also each have an iPad (the 2 and an Air) and an iPhone 5. Could they somehow be causing this? Maybe an automated iCloud backup occuring at night? Although, I use several devices on my network all day long without this kind of thing happening so I don't know why that would cause this kind of problem. Just to round out my collection, I have to older Airport Expresses as well to extend the network and are mostly used for the audio out.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Reset the SMC.
Step 4
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 5
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 6
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match. Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas?

my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple. no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple. Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac". Any ideas on how to correct this? This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem. It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about. (there was a new iCloud release, hence...) No ETA for a fix yet. I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list. I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve). I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward. They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset. ;-)

What's happening with BT Broadband Talk??

When I joined BT some years ago I was advised to use BT Broadband Talk, as this was a VOIP service the calls made via BT Broadband Talk were cheaper than made via a landline (at least that was what they told me when they sold this to me).
Recently I found out that the call rates for Broadband Talk calls and landline calls are the same, but also that some of my calling plan features do NOT apply to Broadband Talk calls!!
As I have been using only my Broadband Talk number to make calls, I was just paying for calling plans while they were not being applied on my calls. I don't know when BT all changed this, but it looks to me like they are phasing out the whole BT Broadband Talk service!
Can anyone let me know what is happening with Broadband Talk???
(I guess I better use skype anyway...)

That's indeed what I thought but when I was chatting with a BT support person, this was what she told me (copied from the chat log):
"Quatta: Can you send me the international calling rates to Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Germany when calling from the main line vs when calling from the broadband talk line?
Junaid : the prices are same if you call from land line or bt talk broadband i will tell you the charges bare with me
Quatta: Okay thanks - yes please send me the rates
Junaid : Netherland-2.50, Spain-2.50, Belgium-2.50 and Germany-2.50 all the amount is 2.50 pence."
After this i search the bt site to see whether BT BB-Talk had cheaper internatonal rates listed (as i did not trust this chat-reply) but no where on the site you find seperate BT BB-Talk rates for international calls. This chat happened on dec-7, 2011 - that's why i started thinking that BT is making this voip service less attractive so that their existing customers drop out on it and they can terminate it (as they already stopped taking on / promoting BB-talk to new clients). So don't think the cheap calls advantage is there anymore. cheers Rob

What's wrong with iCloud and all that. See below

What's wrong with iCloud tonight I am
Sending texts and it is going as a normal text
Not iMessage it was working earlier. Now
Gas stopped working all of a sudden. If
Anyone Is experiencing the same please let
Me know. Also it is saying when I turn on and log
In waiting for activation. I've never had this before.

There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

TS1702 Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !

Any body know what is happening with this app "eTodo" ? is no more in the iTunes store !
I have this problem for one year I think and no one can’t solve that,I made 6 screen shots and I will uploading in a few seconds all of them and please just check them !
My problem is: I bought an application last year and after some time I had lost the app from my iTunes store.
Now,what I want to do is: I want to get that app again,but I could not find anywhere in the iTunes store,websites ,nobody could not help me with that
The app has been deleted from everywhere !

If the app is no longer in the store then you won't be able to redownload it. You don't have a copy of it in your computer's iTunes library or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync it back to your phone ?

I have an old imac 27' with OS 10.7. What will happen with lightroom 6 ?

I have an old imac 27 ' with mac os 10.7.
I try creative cloud and lightroom 5. It works perfectly... But what will happen with lightroom 6 ?

It's pretty simple. Lightroom 6 will not run on OS 10.7. See http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/01/update-on-os-support-for-next-version-of-l ightroom.html
You will need to either stay with Lightroom 5, or upgrade your operating system.

What is happening with FCP 7 now?

I've just been engaged to make a film in a remote isolated community. They want me to set up a 'film studio' for the community at the same time. Normally this would be a no-brainer for me. I'd arrive with an Apple Tower, several monitors, some decent speakers, and FCP Studio installed.
I'm wondering what is happening with FCP these days. All I've heard is negative rumours about FCP X being an amateur app (iMovie upgraded) and FCP7 being discontinued. I may not even be able to buy FCP Studio (with 7)?
I have a distinct disaffection for iMovie ... the underlying logic has always eluded me. I've been a faithful Final Cut user since the very first version, have cut scores of films with it.
I'd love to hear the 'latest' news about how Apple is handling this, or not.
I hate the idea of trying to set up a community studio with any of the alternatives.
All ears,
Ben

Hi Tom,
By 'current interface' do you mean FCP X? I haven't had time to try it yet. I've never liked iMovie. I love the simplicity and 'logic' of FCP - once one has worked out the most efficient pipeline.
I find I can show someone how to edit in FCP in about 30 minutes. It took my son about ten. And then the learner is on his/her way with great ease. (I think it's a matter of having myself figured out over the years a very efficient 1,2,3 ... eschewing the 10 other ways to do every operation; I suspect it's the 10 different ways to do each operation that most people find confusing).
Fogo Island Newfoundland out in the North Atlantic is a particularly enlightened place, quite fascinating. Very film savvy. I'd want to set them up with something professional - they might easily turn out some decent filmmakers. Meaning 'professionals'.
If Apple was planning to upgrade FCP X to a professional app in the near future (I'm just quoting what I've heard rumoured) then I could see going that way. I have to confess that I also don't want to have to spend a month getting up to speed on FCP X before heading out for Fogo. And then looking incompetent when I discover I can't do something on it (that I take for granted in FCP 7).
All the best Tom.,
Ben
