I opened the "Buy Now" on Apple and it goes to iTunes (yes, I have 7.7) and it says that the iTunes store is temporarily unavailable...I could buy as many songs as I want right now without a problem...help!

I even tried this when I checked for an update on my ipod.
 
Same here - You have to appreciate this happens to every software vendor when they release over the web and there is an overly-anticipated (and over subscribed) eager audience

Chill .... I've just solved a Cocoa bug and had a diet coke to celebrate whilst I'm waiting .... although I wouldnt hold your breathe, its gonna get worst before it gets better - the west coast wakes up soon ...

I'm kinda thinking on waiting til tomorrow and getting up especially early to attempt downloading.

Update:
I'm in the UK
 
I clicked the check for update, it said 2.0 was available, I clicked learn more, and I got the same error message everyone elso got. But now, when I click check for update, it tells me my current software (1.1.4) is up to date. Anyone else having iTunes tell them this?
 
Its telling me 1.1.4 is the latest also ...

It wasnt before lunch it told me the 2.0 was ready to be updated. I kept on getting "iTunes unavailable" messages and like a clot that I am I took the advice from another thread to restart iTunes to get the download ...

and here I am back at 1.1.4. To me that would suggest that the upgrade site it getting so hammered that not even the exchanging of version numbers is getting through sucessfully

(Dontya just love a bit of FUD injection by moi for good measure :( )

Yes, everyone iTunes keeps switching back and forth between those 2 **** options. Either get an iTunes error, or keep 1.1.4. -_-

The apple gods must of heard my calls ... sudenly I'm back at version 2 "wanna learn more" stage ...
 
I would love to know the hit rate apple are getting at the moment (or not achieving as the case may be).

Isnt it fun being part of a launch day .....
 
Hmmmph..

apple is really starting to work on my nevers with this mess....they are probably doing this on purpose to mess with ppls heads...and it's working too.. disgruntled.. :mad:
 
Mine says 2.0 is the latest... I just wish I could download it :mad:
