I thought I was going insane - bought a few new releases in the iTunes app on my phone, nothing showing up in the Music app and the Purchased section of the iTunes app was throwing all kinds of bizarre errors when I tried to download via that (including per song alerts that items I purchased in the US store were not in the US store 🤡).

I was wondering - it’s payday and I deposited some money into my Apple savings and it shows pending and won’t update the balance - normally it’s instant. I’m assuming this is part of the outage too.

Between this and then the global Microsoft Teams outage, it’s been a rough Friday.

I’m having an issue updating my apps. The ones that say they’re updating just never finish and then I’m stuck being unable to open them. Rebooting and then NOT opening the App Store app helps. I’m also having an issue playing Apple Music. A lot of the tracks just skip.

No issues here!

EDIT: According to the System Status page, the outage is resolved. Also, I don't use Microsoft Teams, so idk about that one.

Teams could have gone down at the office, IDK. I never use it. When my WinTel work box boots quitting teams is the first thing I do. It’s totally useless to me.

At around 2 PM EST everything took a steamy crap in our office. It’s a relatively large operation with about 70 or so desktop units, Cisco phones and the sundry printers and scanners and the like.

Whole thing crapped the bed. The Cisco network phones went dark, the network went down (no internal network or interWEBS). Don’t know if it was related but it almost never happens.

Experienced the Music outage briefly a few hours ago in Canada. Thought it was my internet. Restarted the Music app on AppleTV and it's been fine.

If you can, turn off Teams auto-start in startup settings in the Task Manager. It's such an annoying resource hog.

Did not face any issue. But glad to hear that everything is fixed and working all right now.
