I keep getting the same “failed” message. View attachment 1661966

Yep, same here

 

[robo74]

Wow. The store is down too. And not in a good way.

I was in the middle of reading up on some of their M1 info and boom, Bad Gateway error

Anyone else's computer acting buggy after failing to install and then restarting?

My apps are very slow to use now.

 

[NoImDirtyDan]

Can't even start the download anymore, straight to failed error.

 

[Ron21]

what's the deal with 3rd party app not loading? Could it be there is a wide spread internet issue going on now?

We've been heard!!!

Yep. This is weird. Some of my programs won't start or open i.e. Plex.

This is because macOS asks apple's server before every app launch. They're not responding or responding very slow so the launch of every app is delayed or hangs.

Same here. It is like all my other programs became locked out when I started the upgrade to Big Sur. Not good.

Damn and I though something was wrong in my end. Three macs on big sur unable to open any app such as word etc What a total cluster f***** What’s going on with apple, seriously...

Little snitch tells me the update is actually coming from google servers. Sabotage?

 

[AnTaR3s]

FWIW, I experienced weirdness on my *un*-updated Mac about thirty minutes ago. Wondered if it was related to iCloud issues. Perhaps this just sent a big “pulse” out to all iCloud-using Macs, hampering performance.

Perhaps so that we are encouraged to buy the Apple Silicon Macs... :X

 

[Apple_Robert]

Looks like apple.com is down for me as well.

x2. rebooted a few times and it has slowed down immensely, but nothing driving CPU in activity monitor.

Macrumors have posted an article about this, it's on the front page now!

 

[Nietzking]

I guess I'm part of the club now.

 

[decypher44]

"some" XD

SOME?! They always say that. "Some". Yeah, BS.

No. Apple uses Google servers as well as Amazon.

Glad I‘m sitting Big Sur out. There are still a ton of open and acknowledged bugs from development.

Cook seems more concerned with rushing out products and updates before they’re ready to appease deadlines and shareholders. Jobs wasn’t perfect, he made mistakes, but not so many in such a short period of time. I truly hoped Apple would continue shining as it did when Jobs, Ive, and Cook were the trio who worked perfectly together. Without Jobs and Ive, this ship is over-Cooked.

Disconnect your mac from the internet and it will work fine again.

For everybody who's computer keeps spitting an error message, this is why.

 

[MacUserUK]

Store is down, this is unheard of

 

[MalcolmJID]

Somebody decided just to restart Apple, it would seem.

 

[MaximTV]

Microsoft Word (third party app) actually started up, but only after some time.

 

[Moshe1010]

As long as apple servers are down, no MacOS will work properly due to many system processes are trying to connect to apple servers. This overflow makes most apps non responsive.

The only option to overcome this would be to turn off Internet connection (turn off WiFi/disconnect Ethernet cable or disable it via network settings).

Once their servers will go up again, macOS will work again as it used to be. It will probably take a few hours...

I hope Apple will learn after 20 years to distribute their OS (12 GB!) based on location and not all at once.

Just tried and this is completely true. What the heck.
