Yesterday Apple released iOS 5.0 and iCloud into the wild. Big, software releases of this nature are bound to have some issues, as millions of users upgrade their existing accounts that include email, contacts, and calendars.

Today, my iCloud email is down. I have no email access from the website www.icloud.com, or from computers and iOS devices. The annoying thing is that in my Mail app, it keeps pestering me to enter my password for iCloud. Once I do, it rejects it and asks again. It kind of reminds me of the Seinfeld skit with Kramer acting as Movie Phone.

Hello, and Welcome to Movie Phone. If you know the name of the movie you’d like to see, press one.
