App Store and iTunes Among Apple Services Experiencing Downtime [Fixed]

Whew, hopefully apple will still be a company tomorrow. Sounded like they were doomed there for a while.

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.

But I need to update my Xcode for my work. I've already used my allocated time for goofing off with friends. My computer is primarily a work machine.
 
Imagine if both this and Facebook would go down...

AT THE SAME TIME!!!!

Calm down; have some dip.

It's like that John Cusack movie with the giant boat and the holes in the earth and stuff.

Was there a dog in that movie?

Isn't there a dog in every disaster movie?

They really should kill the dog in at least one of these movies.

Make it a huge expose' shot as well. Just pull away from the current action and zoom on the death of the dog... BOOM! Credits.

iTunes back up yet?

Unfortunately, we have dozens of new iPads here at work that we need to register with iCloud and download a specific app for. And we need them right away. But, there's nothing we can do about it.

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.

Most likely it's a problem with (or reaching) Apple's authentication servers. Any sites that don't need login won't be affected.

I feel your pain. I have an app that is pretty much finished and ready to submit for review. The last thing I need to do is test the Game Center leaderboards... which I can't do because Game Center is down as well.

It's already bad enough that Apple has a super long app review process (7-10 days for an app to go live vs. 2-3 hours for an app to go live on Android). This outage is only going to delay things even further.
 
Now getting "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" on the Updates tab. Maybe it'll be up soon, at least it's different than what I've been seeing all day :)
 
I picked the wrong day to reformat my iMac and install a fresh version of Yosemite :|. Just found out about this when the Mac App Store gave me the error.

I recommend taking a look at deploying a Mac mini in your department that has Yosemite Server installed in it. Setup the Caching service on it so that you can avoid this scenario in the future (if preventing downtime is important to your organization.)

Our Father in heaven, (if there is one),
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, Forgive me for begging you this day (because i did not think there was one, and who else was I going to ask when I had mount Rushmore of the management team looking over my shoulder
thy will be done,
on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.despite my Bsc and Msc
And lead us not into temptation,
And forgive those who did trespass against me ( and that they did not for one moment take into account it might be the mighty apple and not our underfunded, under resourced team)
but deliver us from evil
 
I am having the same issue all day myself. I'm from Republic of Ireland.

My error message now reads: "plist parsing error"

Its a shame because I really need to download an app from the Mac store for college.
