A series of iCloud related issues have been reported in a short time frame on Tuesday. If you had problems signing in to your iCloud account, or problems with accessing iCloud web apps and iCloud Mail, they should have been solved by now. However, this can reoccur in the future and you have to know how to handle it. Whenver you encounter strange iCloud log-in problems you have to check if the service is dealing with a generalized problem caused by an extended dowtime. The easiest way to check this is to open Apple’s system status page and get a confirmation.

If Apple confirms the issue you can only be patient and wait until the iCloud related service is back up and running.

However, you can still double check that you’re using your correct iCloud log-in credentials.
