Mac App Store Intermittently Down for Some Users

Mac AppStore : cannot connect
iPhone AppStore :cannot connect
iTunes : cannot connect
Here in Greece
 
Down here in NYC...

I can browse the store but when I try to download or update it just says "waiting" on the icon... Also won't refresh my avail updates...
 
Not working in louisiana. Can open, search, etc, but not update or download. Doesn't ask for password. Sits and does nothing. Gives me a grey black icon where the one i tried updating belongs.
 
Troubleshooting?

Try restarting your Mac computer and open the Mac App Store. The Mac Store should be available now. No sign of Mac OS X Lion, though.
 
Wasn't connecting a few minutes ago, but now it is. Here in Seattle.

edit: No longer working :/ Hope this means something!

I get "You may continue to browse the Store but please try your purchase later." I was trying to buy something in the iBooks store.
 
Was down for a while, now is up but when purchasing apps they say waiting. I did notice though that the store doesn't close after making a purchase - this could just be a result of the erratic behavior though. Netflix on the apple tv is also not working today. Stange.
 
Not working in UK (well Scotland anyway)

Itunes App Store / Podcasts / iTunes U showing but nothing connects.... iPhone won't update applications.

Something big?

It's down on my iPhone for at least 30 minutes. The app store that is.
 
This is not an indication of lion, probably just an indication that they are switching to the new data bases... for iCloud, and etc.
 
Internal Testing?

Apple may be internally testing the Lion Distribution?

or

some hacker attacking the Mac App Store?

Whatever's going on its to to be about the Lion release it's gone GM the dates right,the servers are going to get hammered.Apple may be testing the system but whatever Lion will be released today or tomorrow (GMT).

Apple is probably uploading Lion and/or plugging in their new servers and it's taking awhile for the new servers to get the data on them. Just because they might be uploading lion, doesn't mean it will be available today.

Also, they could be updating the Mac App Store for Lion with delta upgrades, etc.

Yes, I'm sure that the system most essential for the successful distribution of Lion just happens to be undergoing some maintenance related to something completely different just days before the release of Lion. This is surely the most likely explanation.
