[iMessage -Facetime Down](http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/ "iCloud System Status")

For about an hour today I tried debugging problems with [iMessage](http://www.imore.com/imessage) and [FaceTime](http://www.imore.com/tag/facetime) on both iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro which were not working for me.

Console log snippet:

11/18/12 11:30:25.774 AM com.apple.SecurityServer\[15\]: Session 100026 created

iMessage and Facetime are both experiencing outages according to Apple’s [iCloud system status](http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/) page. I called Apple tech support and was told the servers that manage iMessage and FaceTime are having a problem instructed to try again Monday.
