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

I hate it when companies blame users "Check Your Internet Connection", as if the problem is with the user. It very well may be, but don't make that the first possibility, make it the last!

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.

Device-to-Device transfers should only occur over your local network, not from iCloud. Were you restoring from an iPhone backup? Was it later in the transfer process where iCloud becomes involved that was failing?

I took that error message to be pointed to the ISPs more than individuals.

Haven't been able to receive an iMessage to my Apple Watch since this morning. Now it's finally working.

Spotify is trash. I’d rather listen to AM radio.
Even on their paid tier, they love adding songs to an album or playlist that allegedly goes with the other songs. No thanks.

This is untrue. In the settings, you can turn this feature off [and it's been off for me by default, but I've had a paid Spotify account since they debuted in the US]. See attached image:

People complain when servers go down but here I am in wonder how all this works together, you login and pay online instantly to any movie in film history and start watching it in HD in seconds...

This is the point where it turns from technology to magic.

Making it last isn’t necessary the best idea. Statistically speaking, it’s probably much more common for individual users to have connection problems than for Apple’s servers to go down, and it does make sense to check the most common culprit first. However, that error message makes it sound as if connection issues are the only possible reason, and that’s not okay. They should definitely throw in a link to their server status page there, too.

Whenever I see these I think that a company is finding that that useless employee that they fired maybe was more key to their operation than they thought.
