Aussie store down.

[Music-Man]

Here we go....

[cooknwitha]

Yeah, I just noticed that myself. However the US and UK stores are still running. Japanese store is down though. Hmmm.....

Can't be bothered checking any others. :)

[surroundfan]

All Asia-Pacific stores are down...

[xUKHCx]

Can't be bothered checking any others. :)

New Zealand store down as well

I also notice it is past 6pm there (apart from western) so you guys have less than 10 days until you can buy it.

[theGAPkid]

were the Aussie stores recently updated when the UK and US ones were?

Just a thought!

Yep. We were a week late, but it has been updated.

[Ludde]

Here I noticed that the Japanese and Korean stores were down and thought I'd come post about it, but I guess someone got there before me :)

[netdog]

Probably just some angry drunk Kangaroos creating a denial of service until they get their iPhones.

[theGAPkid]

Perhaps they're working round the globe and doing whatever theyre doing in the same order as Leopard will be released.

I just want to know now :(
Please?

[thefunkymunky]

What time is it in Australia now. I'm guessing the UK Store will go down at around 1pm(ish) today or 9am(ish) US East coast time. They usually do on a Tuesday.

[xUKHCx]

This has to be the real deal. Even if it isn't there when the store comes back on it will have all the prep work done ready for a switch flip. Today is the day we find out.

drum roll...

[Voidness]

Is that a meow I'm hearing? ;)

[xUKHCx]

Its the roar of millions of Leopards ready to go eat some Longhorn.

I really hope you're right! It makes sense though...

[surroundfan]

Surely, the non-Asia-Pacific stores should be dropping like flies by now? :confused:

[sammich]

Yeah, all the pacific rim stores are down: New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong...

Also...Korea.

[cwedl]

UK store is down as well now.

[arkitect]

UK store is down as well now.

Well it is Tuesday after all. :D

[Voidness]

Rwar! US Store down! :)

[thefunkymunky]

Yay. Come on Apple. Announce Leopard already. With new updated screenies showing no more Aqua scrollbars and buttons.:rolleyes:

[sammich]

So will every site come back online simultaneously? Or will us Aussies be the first to pre-order online?

Q: does anyone know how long it'll take before my free copy comes via ADC?

[scunky]

This is exciting! every store in the world down at the same time??

[thefunkymunky]

Its still really early in the States too. Apple must be working the night shift. :D;)

I think this usually happens every time there's a product announcement. :)

[scunky]

What could it be.....a new macbook pro, leopard announcment,.......terrorists!!

[scotthayes]

UK store is down as well now.

I'm so excited, could this be the moment we've waited months for!?!?!?! Credit card is at the ready!

[xUKHCx]

this is surely the end to everyones productiveness today.

[thefunkymunky]

this is surely the end to everyones productiveness today.

Indeed. Sod work.:p This is much more important. ;)

[Locker]

I've not done a bit of college work since this topic was created. My F5 key is pretty worn out!

All stores down, it's got to be it! :D

[MacSA]

I wonder if the Mac Mini will still be on the store when it goes back online?

[scunky]

how about this!...Apple announce iphone 2!!
now that would ruffle a few feathers

[goodmansvp]

So excited I had to register and post after months of reading macrumors :D

Welcome aboard!

[Veljo]

I've been a long time reader of this site, decided to finally register and get in on this excitement! Noticed the Australian store down, let's hope it comes back in the next hour or so with Leopard pre-orders!

The fact that it's happening early in the morning in the US suggests Apple want people to wake up to a BIG surprise.

[Genghis Khan]

ooh...i'm all a quiver

if this is leopard.........

but i doubt it...wouldn't apple prefer to announce it rather than just update the store?...if not , this is definately leopard:D

how long do these things usually take...5-6 hours?


*btw welcome to all our new members:p

[netdog]

If it isn't during an event, these changes usually take less than an hour.

[Ludde]

It's been over two and a half hours since the Korean store went down

[thefunkymunky]

If its just Leopard. Apple have only taken the Stores down to enable pre-ordering. The home page and Leopard pages will also get updated to reflect the announcement.

[Father Jack]

UK and Ireland store also down .... I do hope it's something exciting .. :)

[Voidness]

It should be up any minute now :) Come on! :mad:

[scotthayes]

Bored now... Think I'm going to install vista :D

[cooknwitha]

Why do I have a feeling that this is going to be somewhat anti-climactic. Though I do hope I'm wrong.

Bump of the Macbooks would be most welcome as I'm in the market for one and have to buy one within the next 2 weeks..... though I guess it's highly unlikely that they'd release new hardware before an OS update.

[twistedlegato]

Well it is a Tuesday....

[Shadow]

Hurry up! I'm in London going to a Mac expo on the 27th (utter coinsidence)!

[SirCrumpet]

Apple store down? Can only mean one thing...

OMG PONIES!1!12!!!!2!!!1!1!2!2

[Voidness]

It's back! :D

[thefunkymunky]

Pre-order now for delivery on Oct 26. :)

[scotthayes]

bugger. will be at work when they'd try to deliver. Oh well as I work only 100 yards or so from the Birmingham Apple store will go an pick up my copy from there.

[thefunkymunky]

Leopard pages updated. (http://www.apple.com/macosx/)

[Concorde Rules]

Yay!!!!!! Xd Xd Xd

[scotthayes]

"If you buy a qualifying Mac between October 1, 2007 and December 29, 2007, and it does not include Mac OS X Leopard, you're eligible to get Leopard after it's released for just £5.95."


December 29th??? If I buy a new Mac after October 26th I'd want it for free
