Users of iTunes and iCloud worldwide are greeted with the message that their Apple id could not be found, or that their password is not correct, if they want to login. It is unclear what the cause of the problems.
Worldwide, there are many reports that users of Apple services, iTunes and iCloud can’t log in, although not everyone there suffer from seems to have. On the statussupport page of iCloud, no problems reported. The change of the password has little meaning; users then get the message ‘Fatal internal error’.
In practice, mean the login problems that, for example, users not apps iTunes can download, while they also their data on the storage service iCloud can access. Clearing jams from Apples servers get very little for. Unknown is how long the global problems still persist.
Update Friday 16 december, 11.10: it Now seems virtually everyone to be able to log in. The exact nature of the problems remain unknown.
