iCloud not working

Hey Guys,

Over the last few days my iphone has been ignoring pretty much any message coming through while my ipad and macbook have been fine. I decided to do a full reset of the phone to try and fix it but now I have run into some other lovely issues.

I reset the phone but when I try to restore via iCloud it won't connect. I tried to log into iCloud via the website and that wasn't having any of it either. My phone is now sitting here looking like a very nice paperweight whilst I wait for it to be able to connect.

I was trying to check my barclays balance online via my ipad as well but because I have just set it up, it has texted a message to my dead phone for verification which obviously is not a huge help at the moment.

Is anyone else having issues with iCloud lately and would someone be so kind as to check that they are unable to sign into iCloud as well.

I can sign into iCloud on the PC but get an error when clicking on the Mail icon for instance.

Works fine on the phone & iPad though.

Cheers for testing that. No idea why I'm having these issues.

It's been like that for a while now i think. I don't use it much on the PC, just when i'm at work.

Yeah, I found their "status" page for iCloud and for once a company has actually used it properly rather than a tool to mislead people when there genuinely is an issue.
