Apple Music and Apple TV Services Currently Down [Updated]

[svish]

Not facing any issues right now.

Not a good experience during my one month free trial. Was seeing if the switch over from Spotify was worth it and given the issues, I don’t think it is right now.

Apple has yet to update its System Status page to reflect any outages

Do they ever update the system status page for anything? I’ve seen multiple outages of various Apple services, but I’ve never seen the page reflect any problems. It’s almost like they run it like a government where even if things are falling apart, they will claim everything is just fine… Nothing to see here 😂

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

I thought something was up , tried playing stuff on my tv and all weird random songs came up !!

Just assumed it was the crappy app on the appletv , this explains it all

Cool, thanks!

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

Unless it is 99.997% outage it either never happend or just a "small number of users" affected just like the butterfly keyboards.

This is another good argument to own your stuff instead of renting it (with the exception of one-off movies).

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 grief … 🙄

In the midst of this, my 2 HomePods said they had an update (same as most current) that I had updated yesterday.

Never seen this before.

Cool, thanks!

FYI info @SFjohn I am in east central Illinois and I know one friend on here who is in Las Vegas so thats pretty across the country.

@Someyoungguy I own a number of movies but just do not always download to save space. Until this past year never a problem but last night I was watching a new movie I had just purchased on my iPad and this outage occurred last 20 minutes of movie for maybe 10-15 minutes. So not an advantage unless you choose to download your TV and Movies locally which I had gotten out of habit in doing…

It's an argument, but not a good one. Almost no one has unlimited money to buy every movie they might ever want to watch (I presume you mean buying physical media that does not require any services). Even if I did have unlimited money, I wouldn't want to waste most of it on crappy movies that I wound up buying but did not enjoy.

There are so many more advantages to streaming that offset an occasional outage of a service. Jeez, even cable would go out every now and then. Internet goes out. Electricity goes out. Should we all have solar and battery walls to offset that once-in-a-blue-moon power outage?

The only thing annoying about this stuff is it always seems to happen when I'm starting something new or changing something. Changed to the new VZW Plan and added AM Family. Kept getting cannot connect on my wife's phone until it finally said welcome to AM Family.

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

Consider that a blessing!

Consider that a blessing!

Nah. It may not be as good as her last one, Plastic Hearts, but it’s still a good chill album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[gccumber]

Brainless speculation: I wonder if all these outages are b/c Apple is retooling and testing these services for iOS17…

 

[garranhado]

Something big will come next weeks. Hope
