Apple is down! Services, including iCloud and Photos, have been hit with outages
- Some of Apple’s services are experiencing an outage starting Wednesday afternoon
- Get a number of iCloud services, photos and my friend right now
- The outage began around 1:30 p.m., hitting other features of the Apple Pal
- It has overtaken Apple Pal Music, the App Store and iTunes – but it works.
Apple Pal currently experiences interruptions or partial disruptions with a number of its services.
Tech Giant’s system status dashboard shows outages in photos, my friend and eight iCloud services search.
However, iCloud Backup is part of this group, which means users can’t back up their devices.
This afternoon users were experiencing a ‘slow or unavailable’ service with Apple Pull Music, the App Store, iMessage and iTunes – but the bug was fixed in two hours.
The outage started around 1:30 p.m., but it is still grabbing many cloud services and Apple Play has not said when they will be fixed or the reason for their failure.

Cloud Backup, iCloud Bookmarks and Tabs, iCloud Calendar Lander, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Drive, iCloud Keychain, iCloud Mail, iCloud Notes and iCloud Storage Upgraders are shown in red triangles.
Apple Pal Photos and Find My Friend are also below.
Many of these services, such as iCloud Notes and iCloud Calendar, are the main tools for workers to use for everyday tasks.
However, this is only a tip of the iceberg, as Apple Paul says early in the morning that he saw other service issues around 8:26 AM ET, according to SlashGear.
And those were the more convenient features that came down to – the App Store, Apple Pull Book, Apple Pull Music and Apple Pull Music.
This afternoon users were experiencing a ‘slow or unavailable’ service with Apple Pull Music, the App Store, iMessage and iTunes – but the bug was fixed in two hours.
However, iCloud Backup is part of this group, which means users can’t back up their devices.
And the iTunes Store, App Store and Apple Pull Radio were also featured with red triangles.
Apple Paul’s status page states that these services started at 8:26 AM ET and issues were resolved at 10:43 AM ET.
The page does not share any details about when the service will be reinstalled.
This is Apple Pal’s second tragedy last week, as the tech giant updated its operating operating system to iOS 14.4 in January, fixing three active vulnerabilities to fix security vulnerabilities.
The tech giant has released a statement on its Apple Plus support page showing that two bugs have been identified in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and one in the core operating system, the kernel.
Many of these services, such as iCloud Notes and iCloud Calendar Lander, are key tools for workers to use in everyday tasks.
The kernel fault was described as a ‘race condition’ that could allow malicious applications to increase privileges, but the update fixes it with ‘improved locking’.
KPal says vulnerabilities in WebKit have been fixed with modified restrictions, but without the update hackers could have accessed remote devices could ’cause arbitrary code execution,’ Apple said.
Apple Paul announces rare issues with its systems that could be used by malicious actors in malicious activity, but the tech giant is open to receiving reports of people seeking privacy vulnerabilities.
