"every iOS user" off their WIFI? no one in my family had that issue!
The app store layout "issue" is a matter of opinion and I don't mind it at all. No better or worse than the last and it works fine on my old 4, my wifes 4S and my daughters 4.
it also affects itunes match users, I was just in the middle of downloading my songs and putting them on my brother's ipod. Plus its only 10:00 over here
EDIT: it's fixed now.
NOT true! I did that on Mac as well as iPad. Didn't matter what you did you could not get the TOS agreement to work. If anything you happened to do that after the glitch had been rectified.
#FirstWorldProblems. People on this forum just love to bitch and complain about the most ridiculous issues. My guess is that 80% of the people posting on here don't even own Apple products. They just show up and bitch. Why don't people bitch about Samsung or Nokia problems? Why do people hate on Apple so much? My guess is its the same reason why people hate the Yankees... Cause people hate the best!
exactly! looked like some thought its the end of the world

mmm... thats not a very nice comment mate, especially the last line
Yeah, I encountered this annoying bug (before it got resolved) so what I did is go into iTunes to accept the terms and conditions then re-download the app on my iPhone.
I agreed with everything you said until the last line... The Orioles are going to beat the Yankees in the division this year... Haha
I want to see gatewaygate in airport express...
It's funny and sad and weird how every little bug or weakness at Apple is magnified thru the media.
TOC problem may be solved; larger issue remains...
I've been having problems with iTunes Match (on my phone only) most of the day.
First, I got a message saying that my subscription had expired and to renew on my computer. Of course, it hadn't. And iTunes Match was fine on my Mac. When I finally got it to recognize my account, it wouldn't reload my playlists. Finally, it did. Then, it got funky around downloads -- downloading some playlists but not others and, as I later discovered, not retaining them on my phone.
Only a few hours after those issues, did I experience the TOC thing, I was able to stop the loop, but I haven't been able to download anything since. The Music app acts as though it's downloading and playing, moving swiftly from track to track, but nothing actually downloads and nothing plays. And the two playlists that are actually on my phone (one downloaded four or five days ago and one downloaded this morning) don't play properly: the track that shows as playing is not the track that plays. This issue is still ongoing, despite numerous iTunes Match toggling, repowering, etc.
Problem appears to (finally) be solved...

I hit this bug tonight trying to update iPhoto for a friend. I told them to try again tomorrow since it was likely a problem on Apple's servers. Glad to see it is resolved.
Some folks on this thread need to learn a little patience. Instant gratification is great, but it is okay if sometimes you have to wait until the next day to buy a song, movie, book, app or update an app. I promise the world won't end. Just a few years ago we all survived when we actually had to drive to a retail store to pick up a physical piece of digital media to do these things.

Woah, what a badass!
I purchase apple products because their quality, design..etc are most of the time, better than the competition; but I don't dig myself into that stupid apple cult where everyone forgives every single apple screw-ups.
It's true that apple didn't live up to its expectations this month compared to previous releases, and you know it.
Glitch was fixed. So does this still count in your list of Apple iOS failures? What is the time frame needed to enter your list?
