real headline: apple users experience touching grass for the first time

 

[talonfast]

App Store Connect and Xcode Cloud seem to be down as well.

 

[indefinite]

Absolutely devastated by this. This is unacceptable on Apple's end

 

[DocMultimedia]

No issues for me in central Virginia.

And nothing of value was lost.

Necessary? Like all issues, always..it doesn't affect ALL users…

Think iCloud sync might be acting up too ... it is on my end

They have been for many years.

I’m experiencing issues with trying to stream a TV show on Apple TV.

Music streaming is also impacted with a "Resource unavailable" error.

I thought I was losing my mind

Some people like knowing where problems are occurring since it could be a location specific issue.

App store had no problem taking my money tonight. 🥴

 

[morphineseason]

Went to get my Apple Fitness workout in for this evening and it would play maybe a minute of the video and just keep saying "video is not available at this time". Tried a couple others and got the same thing. Guess it must tie into the Apple TV services.

I'm experiencing issue with my new AppleTV - WTF is it? 😜

 

[themachugger]

We just got hammered with the largest CME from the Sun in over 20 years yesterday. Maybe that had a little hand in F'ing something up somewhere.

They had no trouble taking my money for a movie rental and starting the 48 hour clock, but they won't actually stream the movie. On the Apple TV, I get the message, "Unable to Play: There's a problem playing this video. The issue is being worked on. Try again later." On the Mac TV app, trying to stream eventually fails silently and closes the window, unless I try to download the movie, in which case I see, "There was a problem downloading 'x'. An internal server error occurred. Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." The first admits there is a problem; the second tries to blame me and my network, but at least it's polite and remembers to say "please."

If the problem isn't resolved within 48 hours, I guess I'm out $3.99. Collecting service revenue without providing the service is nice work if you can get it.

 

[Takeo]

This is the longest outage I’ve ever seen. I’ve been an AppleTV subscriber since day 1 and I recall maybe one or two other incidents but they were hiccups that were resolved well within the hour. Interesting. I’m on the East Coast.

Worst case you can request a refund online. I’ve never had Apple refuse a refund request for a show / movie. Probably won’t even ask you for an explanation.
