So did I.

I started getting concerned that my identity had been compromised.

Thank goodness for Twitter....

No Apple TV, guess I'll read a book.

But how will you buy it from iBooks? ;-)

Exactly the same happened when Apple launched iCloud. Old MobileMe members could not log in for days since Apples servers where hammered by 25 million that downloaded iOS5 and migrated to iCloud.

Today Music match is launched around the world and Apples servers are overloaded again.

Some in this thread have written that its the downside with the cloud. No. Its the downside since Apple uses Microsoft Azure servers. Real servers don't have this kind of problem. Unix have been "cloud" based since 90is with NFS. Apple used Sun + Oracle before the migration to Azure. We already in 2 month have had more outages with Azure then 10 years with Sun/Oracle/.mac/mobileme.

Apple is idiots when it comes to corporate computing. They had fantastic server lineup with Xserve/Xraid/Xsan. Instead of using this, they today use Microsoft +HP +netapp. That is not non stop servers. No bank/credit card company uses MFST on mission critical servers. Apple should not do that either. And Apple would save money buying its own hardware.

Do you have a source on Apple still using Azure? Last I heard it had all now been moved to their new DC. If Apple were on Azure, this wouldn't happen. It would have scaled up, they have a hell of a lot more capacity than Apple could ever use, it wouldn't just bomb and die like this.

Every iTunes connection I've seen has been pointing to IP's in North Carolina, not to more local Azure facilities, hence why I asked.

I Fixed My Outage

I was having the same issues but I logged in from itunes directly then my problems with the app store on both my ipad and macbook air were fixed directly. Must have had something to do with itunes match...or not.

Give it a few seconds and it'll be down again - its not a complete outage, its intermittent.

Nope....just keep trying. Once downloads have started, they will run fine, its just the login system thats intermittent.

Outage:DEV RELEASE 10.7.3, AppleTV Update and OUTAGE

At Midnight Apple released 10.7.3 to developers, and an Apple TV update was completed at the same time. Ten mins later while watching my AppleTV the show I was watching completed then populated that I had purchased the whole series which was not correct.

I do not know what happened after Apple uploaded the files (the Dev files and pushed the AppleTV update) however, the AppleTV had issues then it was asking for the Account ID password, which failed. I was able to download my 10.7.3 however the AppleTV Upgrade created issues for me as well.

At one time the Apple TV displayed my account email "twice" and wanted a new password.

Contacted Apple and was told by automated system to call back later.

Working again

All seems to be working fine again.

My Apple ID went down after signing up for iTunes Match this morning... first noticed when I was unable to update my iPad apps.

All seems to be working again now though.

Phew.

Doubt you fixed it since it's on the server end and it's affecting more than you.

I hope not. I've been in for about 10-15 mins since I got back in and it still seems okay. I'm watching a TV show from iTunes right now.

Although my Apple ID seems to be working on my iOS devices to download Apps...it looks like iTunes Match is still broken.

Can anyone confirm that they have been able to download tracks from iCloud and/or previously purchased tracks that are not already on their device?

I'm in the UK.

OK this is what i did I use a gmail email for username in the apple ID. So I change the "username" of gmail by the apple email (yourname@me.com) and them I use the same password. And finally loggin. I remember when I switch from me.com to iCloud they ask for the user name but has to be another email and not the email they given to me.

Seems to be working again in Canada, so far so good, was able to download some iPhone app updates. Not interested in iTunes Match in it's current state...will wait til I hear more good news than bad.

Way too many problems. I can't count how many times something went wrong with my account. Apple eventually makes it right but why the error in the first place. Its not rocket science
