This is very simple to fix. Follow the steps below:

1. Put the computer to sleep.

2. Stretch your neck.

3. Stand up and go make coffee.

4. Come back later, wake up the computer and you’ll see everything works.

iCloud is fine. It’s a scheduled update. Apple is rolling out the code to serve ads in each cloud based app.

We gave up on iCloud, Dropbox, and OneDrive ... started using ByteBin ... even in beta it's better than all of these and full linux support to boot

This is good to hear as I have been missing "Documents" all day today. Its all non-critical stuff. I think I'll bring it all back local when service is restored. Then I'll write another client project plan to "cloud-enable" their enterprise systems.

Cloud drives are for accessing your data when you travel. You don't keep your primary copy on the cloud. You save a working copy to your NAS, then to your cloud accounts. The cloud is fantastic for backups of backups of small documents.

I just had two $1546.15 transactions come through that shows they came from the Online Apple Store for what appears to be orders from months ago. One of the two orders was cancelled before delivery and the other is for my current Mac Studio which is on an installment plan. Anyone else have something like that happen?
