App Store and iTunes Store Experiencing Issues

[MacRumors]

Some customers are having problems with the App Store, Mac App Store, and iTunes Store, according to Apple's System Status page.

The three services have been experiencing issues since 7:22 p.m. Eastern Time. Not all users are affected, but if you've been having trouble accessing or downloading apps, the outage is the reason why.

We'll update this article when the problems have been resolved.

Update: Apple's status page indicates the issues were resolved within about an hour.

This may not be related, but on iOS 26.4, I can't seem to load my apps, and when I search for them in the App Store, see the "Get" button instead of the "cloud" icon. The only way to use certain apps is reinstalling them..

Im not sure if its server side or iOS 26.4 beta related but ever since i installed 26.4 beta, app store pages takes ages to load. And its even worse today. I submitted a bug report to apple few hours ago.

Same issue here. The app store on iPad won't load my account profile so I can't update apps etc. Hoping they fix it soon. The rest of the app store is loading fine on iPad. iPhone loads the app store and icloud profile page for updates. Oddly just occurring on the iPad for me.

Your article is using the outdated App Store icon. Here’s the correct one:

I had a similar problem on the iPad with beta 1, beta 2 has fixed it for me (although as someone else mentioned the App Store pages are slow to load).

Since i installed beta 2 over beta 1, its even worse for me. Also name of search tab is in a different language than my device’s language. It seems they used vibecoding too much in this update.

believe it or not, my mail address is still NUKED somehow from the last outage they had two weeks ago. Also heard nothing from support, will try following up tomorrow. Ridiculous.

Apple's System Status page linked in the OP is listing all of them as being resolved as of about three hours ago.

There are so many developers who comment in MR (and of course many who don't). For their sake I hope this was taken care of fast. That's got to be frustrating.

I don’t know if this is related, but I am having issues with iMessage since about a day. I am running iOS 15.8.6. I am getting messages saying iMessage can not be activated. It was always on. Now when I try to turn it on again I get a message saying activation fails.

A pity, of course, but is iTunes Store still a thing? What is it used for nowadays?

Have not faced any problems for the last 2 hours. Hopefully everything is fixed soon.

Buying things... What do you think stores are for?

To buy Music, Movies and TV Shows. It is the only place I buy digital content. I don't do subscriptions.

Wasn’t the Apple experience only announced for next week?

Buying music.

Glad Apple doesn’t make the App Store the only option basically. Oh wait…

I am finding that search within the iTunes Store is unusable today. Is it just me, is it an ongoing problem or is this the current state of Apple Music suckage?

For me I'd amend it to read:

I am finding that search within Apple products in general is unusable
