Why is iCloud so sluggish lately?

Was just trying to send an email from icloud.com on my iMac and one of my two small mp3 attachments took forever to attach and load.  Then, when they were finally loaded, I hit "send" and I got a prompt stating that the email could not be sent and that I had to delete the attachments and try again.    This has happened several times and I am still unable to send the email. 
On the iPad end, sometimes when I go to the native iOS mail app, I receive a prompt saying "Cannot Get Mail. The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."  However, my password is indeed correct.  I have even gone to settings and reentered it, received all the checkmarks, gone to the mail app imediately thereafter, and STILL received this prompt.
Why so many iCloud issues lately?

I posted the first question of this discussion thread. "Why is iCloud so slow?" While it is still an issue, I have found that it has improved somewhat. As before, when you try to reply, forward, or create an email it takes forever for the new pane to come up! But I have discovered that while it is searching (the agonizingly long wait, staring at the little hypnotic circle going round and round), if I click on the address bar, it pops right up. This has helped tremendously. I might not dump iCloud after all.
Now, if I could just get my curser to stop jumping around while I type emails in iCloud, I would be grateful.

  • Why is icloud not listed in my updated macbook pro's systems preferences, there is mobileme instead?

    I use a Samsung Android, two mac book pros, a large desktop mac, a Kindle Fire, and recently  bought a preowned iphone 5; want to synch it with my mac book pro. I have an icloud email but nothing from my macbook is connected with it except maybe itunes. icloud is not the way I sign on when pening my personal macbook. But the only id I could use to get into the iphone was my icloud id. I want to get "Everything" together but when attempting to set up icloud in my personal macbk at system pref.s there is no icloud listed only the ancient "Mobilme" . I have done all the updates, why is icloud not in there and what can I do to set it up?

    If you are seeing mobile me, then you are running 10.6.8 or earlier.  iCloud came out in 10.7.  So your device "may" be updated as far as it can, but it is not far enough to use iCloud.  You can try to upgrade to 10.10 (which is free), or if your system is not capable, you may have to pay for lion or mountain lion.
    HTH.

  • Why my icloud mail fails to deliver

    Why my icloud outgoing mail returns as failed to deliver? This is the message: Delivery Notification: Delivery has failed

    Hello, Oscar.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is the best troubleshooting resource to go through when experiencing issues with iCloud mail. 
    If you experience issues sending or receiving mail on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Check the System Status page to find out whether any known issues are affecting iCloud Mail.
    Make sure that you're connected to the Internet: try opening a webpage such as apple.com in Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Go to iCloud.com on a Mac or PC to verify that you can receive email for your iCloud account.
    Make sure that Mail is turned on in Settings > iCloud.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your device in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. Then send an email to your account to verify that Push is working correctly.
    Make sure that Push is turned on for your iCloud account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Fetch New Data. If you are using iOS 6, tap Advanced. Then Tap your iCloud account and make sure that Push is turned on. If you have multiple iCloud Mail accounts set up on your device, Push can be used only with one account at a time. Make sure that Push is turned on for your primary iCloud Mail account.
    Turn your device off and back on.
    If the issue persists, turn off each of the settings in steps 4, 5, and 6 above, then turn them back on. If that does not help, follow these instructions to delete the iCloud account from your device, then add the account back:
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
    Tap your iCloud account.
    Tap Delete Account. If you store Contacts, Calendar, or Bookmarks data in iCloud, you will be given the option to keep that data.
    On the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars screen, tap Add Account, then tap iCloud to begin setting up your iCloud account again. If data from your device is stored in iCloud, you will be given the option to merge that data with the data on your device.

  • Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers?

    Why, with iCloud, do we continue receiving the same email on multiple computers? Is there a way of stopping this?

    If those multiple computers are all setup to use the same iCloud account, then it is working exactly as intended. That's what iCloud does. Keeps your email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, tasks etc. in sync across all devices/computers that the same iCloud account is setup on.
    If you want independent email on each device/computer, you need to setup independent email accounts for each device/computer.

  • Why start iCloud drive when Yosemite is not ready? Once accidental start iCloud drive, no downgrade option?

    When IOS8 is release there is a simple switch to start iCloud Drive.  It is a nightmare.  My iWork field can no longer be sync with my Mac and Mac Air.
    There is no downgrade method to resume the usual iCloud support.  Yosemite is not ready now.
    There should be a warning for anyone who may not know the link between iCloud drive and Yosemite.
    Why start iCloud drive when Yosemite is not ready for download?

    Give Apple feedback on this at http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Unfortunately the iOS 8 release was made fully functional even though some of the functions are not useable at this time.  That should have been clearer so the user knew not to activate a function that would not work fully.

  • Why was iCloud.msi added to iTunes 11.1.4 ?

    The windows installer for iTunes 11.1.4 contains iCloud.msi.
    The previous versions did not include this.
    The included version of iCloud.msi works only in Windows-Vista,
    not in Windows-XP, not in Windows-7.
    Apple does offer an iCloud software for Windows 7 for download,
    but it is not required to use iTunes.
    Why is iCloud included in iTunes?
    Why is it a version that does not work in Windows 7?

    Maro,
    I'm running VISTA on my PC. None of the suggestions solved the problem. I uninstalled iTunes removing all suggested files from another post and reinstalled iTunes 11.1.3 and removed the iTunes Ibarra from my iPhone Remote. I restarted the computer, iPhone & router. I added the iTunes library to my iPhone remote. I didn't get an icon on the menu bar of the iTunes on the PC but a dialog came up asking for the code which was on my phone. I typed in the code and the library showed up on my iPhone Remote. I selected it and got an error message that it couldn't connect. This is extremely weird and frustrating. What should I do now?

  • HT204053 why my iCloud email is different from my email and how do I change it?

    "my email" - what do you mean by that?

  • Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

    This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

    It is not Mac to Mac.
    Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
    Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.
