Apple Music Down for Some Users [Update: Resolved]

[MacRumors]

Apple Music is experiencing an outage at the current time, and according to Apple's System Status page, some users may experience intermittent issues with the service.

A number of Apple device owners are not able to use Apple Music at the current time, and there are many complaints on Twitter and other social networks about the outage. Apple updated the System Status page to reflect an issue at approximately 8:40 a.m. Pacific Time, but people have been having problems for much longer.

The App Store is also listed as experiencing issues, which is perhaps the explanation for why App Store privacy labels seem to have mysteriously disappeared earlier this morning.

There is no word on when Apple will address the outage, but we'll update this article when Apple Music and the App Store are functioning as intended.

Update: Apple now says the issues have been resolved, with the outages lasting from approximately 1:!5 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

Apple Music goes down more often than others?

 

[MoogRumours]

oh no… anyways,

 

[NoelWalker]

Don’t worry. Apple is just removing outdated apps and services.

Is planet Earth still rotating on its axis? OK, good. Life goes on.

All my songs in my Favorites are downloaded to the phone so I didn't notice the outage.

Jealous, that absolutely did NOT work for me on a drive I just took. Seemed like 1/4 of the downloaded songs would work but 3/4 would just freeze. No hope for non-downloaded songs.

I was definitely in the "downloaded" section, too.

So just because it is not a life threatening situation, service providers are not to be held accountable for the services they get PAID to provide and sustain?

You are just the kind of customer ANY lousy service provider would love to have!

 

[Zmmyt]

that might explain why the mix I added earlier isn't sorted and synced correctly.

 

[skitidetdu]

Works fine here 25 min after macrumors article. Local outage?

There’s also an issue with the App Store apparently on 12.9” iPads only:

App Store is not opening lol

iPad Pro 12.9 (M1) The App Store crashes immediately when opening the app. Any others experiencing this issue??

I can't access lossless music.

 

[Shreducator]

Music is working for me. Lyrics how ever are not.

 

[jayducharme]

I’ve had a strange recurring problem where AM skips the second track of albums, playing the first and then jumping to the 3rd. Bizarre.

 

[Smoothie]

Listening to Apple Music right now.

Agreed. I've seen some people go "thermal nuclear" when such a service has gone out, and THAT has been over the top. However, unless Apple Music stipulates they're allowed to have downtime, or a certain amount of it, then people aren't getting what they paid for. It would suck for this to happen when you really needed it (with the caveat ofc. that "life does find a way"). Hearing these things does push me more and more towards dusting off the iPod Classic and getting that up and running again. I have certain areas where I don't get signal, and having local music would be nice. Especially since cars these days do away with CD players

Me too! I thought that was too random to actually be happening to someone else. Thanks for validating there's an issue there.

You're just the kind of reader hyperbolic whiners love. All services have issues occasionally: it's the nature of the technology. Having a meltdown every time the internet hiccups isn't healthy.

Are you OK?

 

[winxmac]

Here I was thinking of re-subscribing to Apple Music since I can no longer log in to Spotify on my iPad 4 running iOS 10.3.3 [just recently factory reset/erase all content and settings] then this news...

 

[AmazingTechGeek]

It’s completely back up for me here on West Coast

Don't see anyone having a meltdown, but feels dumb just to note "the world keeps spinning".

 

[JCCL]

Are you OK?

Yes, I am. Thanks for asking, are you?

 

[citysnaps]

Yes, I am. Thanks for asking, are you?

I'm fine. But I'm not get worked up over something that's mice nuts.

Having that for a few days on all my Apple devices, but specially on my homepods. Why track 2 in particular, I don´t know.
