Apple Music, Apple TV+, App Store, Apple Arcade and Other iCloud Services Experiencing Issues [Update: Fixed]

Okay, everything is working for me again: email, iCloud documents, iTunes purchases, Apple Music. Still, I did not overreact.
They're still relevant?
Still waiting for an official announcement...
Bookmark the system status page https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/. It's a great resource to check whenever you're having issues with Apple services. It will be interesting to watch all of this get resolved.
And also https://developer.apple.com/system-status/, where there are 5 current issues.

I've seen the number of outages climbing, now up to 24. The system status page is intermittent, occasionally reporting it is unavailable. Not surprising given the likely attention it is getting at the moment.
Given the time shown for the outages, I'm wondering if there is a certificate expiry issue which started at 2020-09-30 00:00:00 UTC.

Whatever is going on, it’s gone through Microsoft, Google, Amazon, now Apple. Where is my tinfoil hat 🥴
Why does Apple have a poor track record with services being online? Does Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc experience outages as frequently as Apple? Trying to download an app to watch the debate and couldn’t log into the App Store. Is Apple too cheap to invest in a reliable infrastructure?
Do you have some Apple services outage and restoration data you can share with us? I'd especially be interested in the specific frequency for each service to quantify what "poor track record" actually means.
Definitely a good backup to have. I still cant watch movies on the appleTV app on my Mac.
Wholeheartedly agreed, a small heads up should be no big deal... either a “potential outage during incoming backend updates” or when it accidentally goes
Didn’t know that, nasty. Probably some preferential deals with some labels where they have to guarantee a minimal amount of play counts (in turn guaranteeing an specific amount of revenue for that music label). You know, the type of deals and straight forward negotiations that would get any other company in anticompetitive or antitrust massive magnifying glass
Excuse my laugh, I understand the frustrations but the reaction and the irony... 😂
I’m in Canada but with everything US Store based, haven’t experienced any sort of outage even though it says that a bunch of things don’t work.Apple - Support - System Status
Status for all planned and unplanned events for Apple Services.www.apple.com
It’s scary though that it’s says iCloud Backup is out, Find My is out, a bunch of other critical stuff are out. Quite a few of education related services are out. Tons of stuff that someone somewhere might have probably needed in a time critical situation, damn.
At the same time I realized that “Walker Talkie” is online, what the heck is walkie talkie and how do I try it?
What the heck could have happened... is this a first time for such a big services outage from Apple?
This is why cloud things are bad. Give me an old fashioned hard drive any day. I'll make my own cloud network if I really care. But I don't. So I find news of these outages quaint.
Have any money in a bank, or it's all under your mattress?
Apple Watch feature. Run the Walkie Talkie app and you can use your watch like a walkie talkie - speak to friends who also have an Apple Watch.
App store is up and running, thankfully. Transferring data from an old iphone to a new iphone wirelessly didn't work today at all (failed 3x).
Also yesterday, the Mail App on iOS wasn't playing nice with Outlook / Hotmail.
Let's face it, Apple is having a bad week...
I hope that their software engineers and security folks can fix these issues securely, safely and expeditiously...
I hope and pray for the folks that are pulling all-nighters to get this fixed.

About 6:30 Pacific my iPad Pro came up with a notification window that the storage was full. I checked that and had plenty of remaining storage. Then I launched safari and all my tabs were gone. I figured at that point that I would cycle power. When bringing it back up, it would cycle between the Apple and a blank screen, finally ending up with a screen indicating that the iPad needed to be restored. I plugged it into my MBP and the finder indicated that the iPad had a problem and would need to have a file downloaded to get it running while retaining its content. I clicked to have the file downloaded and within about 20 minutes it retrieved the file from Apple and applied it to the iPad. The iPad rebooted and appears to be running again. Anyone else see this kind of problem?
