Cloud music is such a myth of "convenience" - download once, one lot of bandwidth, never any more, job done. Stream the same song every day, that's that songs file size multiplied by how many times you stream it, which is far more bandwidth than download once, listen many. On top of all that, you're still left without music - how's your cloud gonna help you NOW?

Cloud people won't tell you that part though...

What's worse is storage is becoming more massive, and cheaper than ever. Pretty much anyone can afford to have a few TB of local storage at home, and back it up too.

It's not the problem that's the problem; it's your attitude *towards* the problem that's the problem. Scrub your plans and change them, and deal with the disappointment. Some people walk 20 miles for a muddy drink of water, and never complain once.

"Ruined"? Nope, maybe you're just spoilt.

While I agree in general I am also still pissed that I cannot get the album I bought yesterday onto my work iMac...

Media does not mean just music!

Yes I have iTunes Match

Yes I have lots of TV series

No, I do not always want to have all my storage used up by this.
Do I really want the complete series of Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, West Wing, Battlestar Galactica, Red Dwarf, House of Cards etc sat on a back up disk, no thats why I bought them in iTunes.

Yes this is now annoying for a few hours, but I prefer having them in 'the cloud' so I can access them anywhere via mac/ipad or iPhone when away on work etc...

Is that really such a bad thing?
 
Opened App Store to update an iPhone 6 app, it crashed, immediately my phone rebooted. Never a dull moment.

Must have Apple stumped to be down for so many hours.

And they want enterprise business?

So, would you like to explain to me how Steve Jobs never did anything wrong
and Tim Cook has yet to do anything right?
Click to expand...

And when exactly did I say Steve did everything right?
Ohhhhhh yes, that's right: I never said/inferred that.
Way to deflect there, champ.

NOTHING, and I do mean NOTHING, like this would ever have happened under Steve.
Cook and his absolutely infuriating "Everything's Amazing!" demeanor fosters an atmosphere
of eff-up after eff-up after eff-up happening,
because nobody's living in fear of thier (professional) lives when cock-ups of this magnitude and frequency occur,
which is all too often the case with Cook's current stewardship of Apple.

The Beats purchase, Mapgate, Updategate, the fashion hires ....
Again, dissasters of this scale, and, more importantly,
of this frequency would never have happened under Steve.
Because of, if more than anything, outright abject fear.
"Is that any way to run a company?", you may ask.
Only the way to make it the biggest in human history, I would answer.

If you carry on throwing a tantrum, I'm sending you to bed with no dinner.
 
FAIL.


This wasn't from a DNS server failure. This is because Ivy got his hands on the servers in question and replaced them all with servers that have only ONE PORT. :p

I will.

In the computing environment I created everything of importance is resident on my personal NAS equipped server.

In addition I use Cloud services for convenience and a secondary solution to store the data or any files I choose to share.

With a combination of hourly snapshots and full backups daily, onsite and off, I'm well protected with immediate easy access from any of my cross platform devices.

Brill. How do you spend the 2 remaining hours a week, when you're done with configuring the world's data structures - do you get time to eat and sleep? I think we should all come and move into your house... Hehe

Yes i am :D
 
So it's a DNS problem. That means I was not so far off the mark when I suspected a DDoS attack. After all, it was an attack, except it was an attack of incompetence, and it did not come from the outside but from the inside.

I can imagine quite well how that happened. When that famous keynote with the chinese voiceover occurred, the people responsible for that SNAFU were reassigned inside of Apple... to network maintenance. Well, look where that got us.
 
Anyone else find it a little coincidental that Panda Antivirus has a HUGE problem with killing machines due to a bad Signature file update right around the same time that Apple's Sign-In services go down?
 
New Flash?

Well..I think it is because of a nasty take-over by Google...tomorrow morning when we all wake up our iPhones will automatically be changed with Googles name on them. Well...this is a rumor mill is it not? :D
 
Walk the dog, invite your friends over for REAL social interaction, go shopping, paint the walls, listen to a CD, go and help the old lady across the road who may need some jobs doing - you may save her day and make her year.

DO SOMETHING ELSE - this isn't all of life, and complaining is the mainstream, lazy way to deal with disappointment. Be happy about the many blessings you HAVE got, whining masses. Reminds me of "BBM-a-gheddon", just a few years ago...


Incredulous.
