Blocked access to iCloud

[Liz]

Good morning folks,

We do appreciate you posting and sharing your experiences with iCloud. We are taking note of who are affected, as this guides engineering's investigation and testing of possible resolutions. Engineering is already trialing one resolution in some areas; depending on how it works out and customer feedback, the end goal is to roll out this fix everywhere. 

Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz

So far all is well, 24 hours now for me and my iCloud email has been running normally. Thank you.

Ditto. It's been working fairly well for a couple of days.

Hello,

Glad to already start seeing good feedback so far! I got confirmation from engineering that they have rolled out the optimization to all customers so I hope to see more feedback on their current experiences with iMessage/iCloud, bad or good.

  Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz

Results were pretty decent a week or so ago but yesterday and today I'm getting the same 'loading' spinner for iCloud emails. They eventually load for the most part but in any case it is not acceptable.

Good morning kaj1234,

Thank you for your update, I've sent your feedback to engineering. I'll post back once I have any news or instructions from them.

  Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz

I'm still having problems with iCloud on HughesNet.  Mail:  won't download email, Account Error displayed, Connection Doctdor shows no connection to iCloud IMAP server, non-iCloud email works fine.  Messages:  won't sync messages between devices.  Browser:  can't connect to www.icloud.com.  These problems disappear when I connect to the internet with my phone's hotspot instead of using HughesNet.

Good morning raj3,

Thank you for your feedback, I'll send this over to engineering as well. I'll post back once I have any additional news or instructions.

  Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Hi raj3,

Thanks for your patience while our engineers looked into your case, they rechecked our end and see that all is clear. We have some suggestions and additional clarifying questions:

How many Apple devices do you have on your network?

Please tell me which device(s) you primarily use to try to access iCloud.

Does it make a difference if you move that device closer to the HughesNet modem?

Is there a difference if that device is the only thing connected to the network?

Your cooperation, patience, and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Liz

Hi kaj1234,

Thanks for your patience while engineering investigated your case. Can you please let me know how performance has been lately for you?

Thanks,
