Apple Music and Apple TV Services Currently Down [Updated]

[MacRumors]

A number of users are reporting that several Apple services including Apple Music and content served via the Apple TV app are currently down. Apple has yet to update its System Status page to reflect any outages, but we will update this post as more information becomes available.

Apple Music users are seeing "Loading" text when trying to play tracks or browse, while users trying to view certain Apple TV+ content and movies rented through the TV app have seen their streams stop functioning.

Update 8:20 pm: While Apple has still yet to acknowledge the outage on its status page, users are reporting that the affected services are once again functioning normally.

Stopped working here about 10 minutes ago during a rental of “Knock at the Cabin”. Seems to have just started working here for us now.

I’ve found that the service that usually goes down first is the status page. It freezes until after the other problem is resolved.

Oh good- I was watching Sisu and it errorred. Thought I was going crazy. Couldn’t even get it to airplay from a downloaded copy on my iPad to the Apple TV!

Okay, that's the 10th time in the month now , am i right ?

I'm guessing apple is shifting to a new backend. Or they just **** up

Why has this been happening so much recently?

Apple Music and Apple TV working fine here...

Apple Music is working for me. If there was an outage, it was very brief.

Switching to another backend would be my guess

It was down for me too for a little but now I want a partial refund from Apple for the disruption. Is that possible?

We just had an issue getting Apple Music to play through our OG HomePod. We got it after a couple of tries. I chalked it up to Siri and the HomePod being Siri and the HomePod.

It's because of the uninterested Apple AR/VR headset. Expect more reports like this until that thing is announced. 🥽

I mean we're joking, but given how often it happened, it wouldn't be so funny to ask for a partial refund due to the annoyance , just like wifi providers do

Seriously Apple needs to get it together. Texting bugs earlier today, now this …along with all the weather app outages lately. What gives?

8:24PM and Apple TV is just static, it’s down completely.
8:35PM and Apple TV is working again.
10 to 15 minutes down isn’t too bad, first time for us (but we’re not big TV viewers).

It could be related to Apple. If I had to guess, I would say it is a problem with the Content Delivery Network Apple uses.

Edited because: I posted Content Development Network. I suspect my brain is suffering an outage.

Where are you located?

Was listening to Miley’s New album and halfway through it just stopped loading anything at all. Still can’t access music

 

[japanime]

I was playing a song through my phone, then put on my AirPods Max and got a message indicating that I was playing Apple Music on another device (which wasn't true), and then it simply stopped playing.

I was watching my newly purchased movie Dragons and Dungeons and it failed in last 20 minutes. It was down maybe 10-15 minutes at least before I could continue. No movies, tv shows would work on Apple TV @TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️

The outage did you a favor.

Nah, good Engineers will use a completely isolated system to monitor and host the status pages.

Remember, Jerry: it’s not an outage… if you don’t acknowledge it.
