Apple online services stutter, leaving users unable to access iTunes

Despite assurances from Apple that the online services were live, widespread reports of outages suggest problems in Cupertino with iCloud and iTunes

Apple's online services are experiencing sporadic outages, affecting users of software as diverse as iTunes, Game Centre and iCloud.

The company's iCloud system status page initially showed no reported issues, even as users were unable to log in to iCloud, download new apps, or play multiplayer games.

I see the downside of storing important files on #icloud when the system goes down and you cannot log in. Fortunately I don't do that!!

All my iCloud documents are not accessible from my iPad now after a restore. Seems like iCloud is down to some extent.
