Rob Pegoraro @robpegoraro:
MacBook Air tethered to AT&T phone: Two browsers work, but Mail and Contacts reject valid Gmail, iCloud passwords. Why would that happen?

@robpegoraro No reason why that would happen, but not uncommon for my Mac apps to have Gsync problems. Quit and relaunch apps?

Rob Pegoraro @robpegoraro:
@jeffporten Indeed, Mail’s working after a relaunch. But Contacts still rejects my iCloud password. Can I just blame iCloud without proof?

@robpegoraro I’m normally an expert, but Contacts sync is a black box. I regularly ignore it unless I need data I don’t have.

@robpegoraro No one ever lost their job for buying IBM or blaming iCloud sync without further isolation.
