[Appleusergerman]

it is still not working

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. 😛

Second best post today.

Those new dual core mac mini servers can't keep up! 😉

Still sobbing at my 'genius' idea to purchase all media from iTunes and keep in the cloud to save my rMBP SSD.....

No music today whilst studying......

Same here. Maybe it's all an evil ploy by Apple to force us away gain from cloud storage and onto buying laptops with more storage...

It was kind-of working earlier, some songs would play, but weirdly others wouldn't so iTunes seemed to keep on shuffling until it found a cloud song it could play. I thought logging out & in again might fix it, but - of course - I'm no longer able to log in.

Everything from Apple during 2014 & 2015 is completely and totally sucks

Lol... Poor Ivy..

Good to see its only an internal DNS issue. Now just gimmie back my iTunes.

It looks like I had a bit of a news scoop in this thread.

Hmmm. I posted the news at 10:27a, and MacRumors posted at 10:34a.

Time to call in the experts from Google

They'll fix it!

WoooHooo 😱






Chill: it's just a joke 🙂

 

[lyceumHQ]

Didn't realise iTunes was down and tried to download an app.

Now I have an empty icon I can't get rid off.

Ah well. Hopefully all will be sorted soon.

Sadly, I cannot disagree...

Current App Store server Status:

 

[andreyirra]

Watches everyone with deference and takes out iPod Classic. Starst listening to music locally stored.

 

[honi]

not a good service by any means.

Why is it only the sites that hold user account details that are out? I'm starting to watch my bank card? this is very scary. More so because apple did not post the outage. Are they trying to cover up ?

if this is an attack then Apple needs to man up and tell it's user base. We all know what to do, and are more than able to meet that. But trust between paying users and Apple is the key. transparency, trust and honesty.

Time to cover yourself in bubble wrap and wear a tinfoil hat!

 

[honi]

if it is, they were specific in the attack. Should not Apple have been better than that?

 

[nazaar]

I don’t want to be the materialistic weasel of the bunch, but I wonder how Apple will compensate its customers for this mess… 😀

Just to be clear I'm not expecting monetary compensation. I'd settle for a couple free months of the service.

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.

You are the perfect customer! Please be my customer! I have a few services to sell to you that may or may not work. Luckily, you don't "whine" when the latter is the case!

Damn, my iTunes match and radio are down too. Sucks, i really wanted to listen to music while I get ready.

I call shenanigans. How can a simple DNS screwup take 12+ hours to fix? There's likely more to this story than a "DNS Issue".

 

[rwilliams]

"Internal DNS", eh?

"Internal DNS", eh?

LOL thought exactly the same 😎
they too big to said that their servers were hacked or fried 😀

Aw man, I should have updated my Xcode earlier. Gotta use a new feature in Swift.
