Look at that. I was just chatting with support about this an hour ago. They kept saying everything was fine on their end. Lies!

Some albums not playing on Apple Music for me. Looks like I’m not listening to Billy Joel tonight...

Well those are not the only things down. I got the Apple Card invite at 9:00a.m. Pacific this morning and have been trying all day to apply, and just getting an error saying "Apple Card Unavailable. Apple Pay services are currently unavailable. Please try again later".

I was freaking out over being denied to a host of iCloud services including the most needed ones such as Mail, iCal, Address Book in 10.7.5. Every attempt to log in to iCloud returned the error "Signing in currently impossible. Try again later.", preceded by hangs trying to load control panel, fetch data from iCloud servers. Interestingly, this affected the oldest Mac OS X I use but not 2 newer ones. It sorted out several hours ago.

Same. Been trying for 2 hours. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.

From iTunes, some movies are not playing properly for me while some are. I'd say the services are not quite yet back to normal.

Hmm is it me it is this type of issue becoming more frequent with Apple’s services? Doesn’t bode particularly well for a company that wants services as it’s main focus.. and m sure they have the resources and funds to make it more reliable though.

Had issues playing music last night. This explains it.

That explains it... all 12 of you tried using Apple’s services at the same time. Next time try to be considerate and wait your turn. One at a time, single-file line.

NOPE! Still not working!
