Anyone having trouble with Apple’s Find My service, or signing into iCloud, can stop rebooting their devices trying to fix the problem. Apple itself reports that four of its online services are currently experiencing problems.

Update: Apple reports that all four previously malfunctioning services are now fixed.

A check of Apple’s official System Status page shows the quartet listed as having “issues.” That includes:

  • Find My
  • iCloud Account & Sign In
  • iCloud Contacts
  • iCloud Mail

Some users of these services might not notice anything wrong. That’s because Apple says the problem affects some users but not all. Still, any difficulties are potentially severe. A note on all four says, “Users may be unable to use this service.”

And this might not be a quick fix. At last check, the problems had been going on for over 3 hours.

All other Apple online services are functioning normally.
