Apple Online Store Down: We'll be back soon

hmm... what do you think it is?

 

[Kwyjibo]

probably cleaning something up or adding scripts so if they relase soemthing later this week it will be a simple tie in. Heres hoping.

 

[vniow]

Confirmed.

Could just be regular maitenence though, a couple icons at the top aren't loading.

 

[MrMacMan]

I get the same, same images fail to load too, suppose tech problem or upgrades.

I don't expect them to realease a product during the night time to yah?

 

[HasanDaddy]

don't know?

 

[HasanDaddy]

well now that we know about the iPod, maybe they're just putting it out...?

 

[janey]

take a closer look at the row of buttons on top...apple's website hasn't had those buttons (and the blue apple logo) for a long time...

 

[Kwyjibo]

ooops edit post

I think soem ppl are so anxious for hardare upgrades they want it to be hardware discussion.

Say if you try and load one of those broken images it says its trying to connect to update10.apple.com - kinda strange.

 

[jaguarx]

Worth noting *all* the apple stores are down, just just the US.

 

[maradong]

strange, perhaps a big release or something like that?

 

[maradong]

who knows, the us store is always the first to announce a new gadget...

 

[GiantXX5]

Hmmm, gettin close to an hour. And it says the store should be back within the hour. So I hope we find out soon. Updates would be nice, although I can afford nothing in my current finaicial state.

I think they say that everytime though, it looks like just the page that they put up when they're working on that part of the site.

Definitely looks like something is up. I guess I won't know what it is until morning though as it's time for me to go to bed. Apple should market there own brand of sleeping pills or alcohol or something to aid in sleeping around the time of new announcements.

This is probably just a coincidence and it's on such minor things but there was a promotion date at Apple that coincided with 04/13/2003 which is today.

I'm not reaching here just pointing out an odd coincidence.

 

[Rower_CPU]

Over 2 hours now...could be something big...or not.

 

[vniow]

Its back!

Nothing new that I can see.

 

[HasanDaddy]

doesn't look like there's anything new

Hey,

Was the Government tag (in the top bar) there before? I don't remember it, but I very rarely visit the US Store, being myself in the UK.

Hope everyones well!

Dang, my first post in ages and I appear to have ruined my reputation Oh well, thats life! Better move on!

I haven't noticed any other changes, maybe if they want to implement a new music section, they will have to modify the software running the store, to accept this kind of downloadable material.
