Apple so far has not commented on the reason for this morning's outage. Original story: We've been hearing reports from our readers that iCloud is down, and now it looks like Apple has officially confirmed the outage. At the time of this writing, select iCloud services are down, but Apple's iMessage service for messaging iOS and OS X Mac users are still up and running so while you may not be able to pull up that Pages document and collaborate in the cloud, you're free to chat about the outage. Services that are down at this time include Documents in the Cloud, Back to my Mac, iCloud Calendar, iCloud Mail, iCloud Contacts, iCloud Keychain, Find my iPhone, iCloud Backup, iCloud Account & Sign In, and others.
