.Mac down

Some readers are reporting that they cannot login to their .Mac service. Apple is currently reporting that the Web Pages are down at mac.com.

"Members cannot access the www.mac.com website. It will be restored ASAP. Read more for interim solutions," Apple notes on the support website.

Could this mean that Apple is working on transitioning over to their MobileMe service? Well, time will tell. Be sure to stay tuned to TUAW for updates on the .Mac outage. If you spot any new changes with your .Mac service, be sure to leave a comment or send us a tip!

Update (7:05p EST): Some users are reporting that while .Mac is taking longer than normal, they are now able to login. Apple has yet to post any additional updates on their support website. The Web Page down status has not been removed.

Update (7:44p EST): Apple has updated the status page. The status currently reads, "Members cannot access the .Mac Welcome page. It will be restored ASAP." Stay tuned to TUAW for the latest about the .Mac outage.

.Mac sync has .Sunk over the last couple of weeks and like many others I've been unable to perform a reliable sync - my calendars refuse to update and "old" data is stuck.

Apple support have had me unregister, register, reset sync histories, create new accounts, stand on one leg, turn around three times, bury a newt's severed ear in the garden at midnight - all to no avail just very frustrating :-(

.Mac has been "patchy" at best over the years and I'm seriously worried that MobileMe will just add to the problems.

Anyone think these constant outages will stop after MobileMe's launch?

It lets me log-in, but basically all features (most noticeably mail) are unavailable. Mail access from third party clients (iPhone, etc.) works sporadically.

My latest .Mac Sync resulted in no entries on my .Mac Address Book. I'm cancelling all syncing until this is resolved. This transition is nothing short of disastrous. Sending Mail has been sporadic also.

Interesting, I just copied a file to my dotmac Documents folder. It gave me a true reading as to how much was uploaded and an estimate for how long it would take.

In the past you would drag the file to the Documents folder and it would "instantly" copy over then give you no idea how long it would actually take.
