Apple Store Down... Again.

[chrisdazzo]

Well, the U.S. Apple store is down, and who knows why. Could we possibly see those updates we've been waiting for, or is this simply maintenance??

Discuss. Anyone internationally seeing Apple store downtime as well?

This could turn into quite an exciting night.

Oh drats I thought it'd be me reporting the store downtime =P Can't wait to see if anything new is added!

Maybe that 30" all aluminum, dual drive, quad core, 512mb nvidia 8000 series Imac Pro with video INPUTS I've been dreaming about.

Is there no tradition sacred with Apple anymore

Come on Sunday (Eastern Time Zone) updates, yay!

I'm anxious... though if it were that, wouldn't it only be the Canadian store that's down?

 

[Big-TDI-Guy]

Maybe they needed the head start, because launching this Imac Pro would cause so much buzz, they anticipated server crashes due to increased traffic. This way, the server could be up in time on Tuesday to make the launch official.

Speculation.

Just kidding! And I'll be as sassy as I want, I started this thread!

If I was a tech at Apple I'd be having so much fun every weekend while bringing the site down for a small while, just to see what people talk about.

Probably maintenance

The German and Japanese stores are still up...

The German and Japanese stores are still up...

Could it be movie rentals in the US market, thus the other stores are still up?

Just speculation...


edit: Can't see what iTnues rentals would have to do with the Apple on-line store though.

 

[Eidorian]

Maintenance as usual.

 

[Big-TDI-Guy]

Store is back up, told you I was right!

[chrisdazzo]

Yeah, except the Apple store no longer uses that layout... That's the old Tiger style.

I don't know. I've kinda gotten used to the chin now. Still looks good though.

 

[mac-convert]

Ah, after this Friday's fiasco, they are changing all the iPhone ads and stuff from 1.1.1 to 1.2.0

 

[Big-TDI-Guy]

I just figured out why the Apple Store is down.

They installed Leopard on Saturday, and are now busy patching up their new kernel panic and system freezing issues.

 

[aswitcher]

Australian store still up

 

[Cloud9]

Store is up now.

 

[foidulus]

They finally have refurb aluminum imacs

well, a section for them anyway. Though not sure if that is why they took the store down....
