Apple's App Stores, Some iCloud Services Experiencing Temporary Outage

[emm386]

Only a tiny, really insignificant fraction of users will have been affected.
As always.
Not noteworthy.
Everything's good!
Apple is "investigating" already.

Note that if you're getting spammed with dialogs from iTunes you can just go to the Account menu and sign out.

The service is broken so you don't have access to cloud music anyway; might as well stop the noise so you can listen to your local music in peace. You can easily sign back in when the service returns.

so. im in my apple car.
and...

iCloud Music Library unavailable.

I don't expect online services to be perfect, but this happens several times per year. When was the last time you've heard about Google having s system outage?

They all have outages and/or issues of one type or another at different times.

Cannot change the hue on my Philips LED in my house.

Apple Music isn't working through the Sonos app either apparently. Keep getting, "Unable to play - the connection to Apple Music was lost". Internet connection working fine on all my devices, so definitely not my ISP or an issue with my home network.

Apple Music dead on my MBA but fine on my iPhone?

 

[Onext1]

Changes are coming online! .... at the expense of service interruption.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Beats1 still works...

I hate this ****. Is this again the magical "<1% of iCloud users are affected" which magically always includes ME?

 

[braveheartwallace]

I have had the same problems listed above since 3:30. Location: Texas.

This outage is yet another reason Apple wants to move to their own cloud system instead of using Amazon's cloud.

 

[bbrks]

woooooow, never seen this kind of outage before.....

 

[liven2]

Apple music is down for me on mac but not on my phone.. Odd but true.

This outage is yet another reason Apple wants to move to their own cloud system instead of using Amazon's cloud.

Or maybe this IS Apple on their own cloud system.

And hey, it has been raining a lot down in NC where their solar powered servers are

Seriously, stuff happens. We'll live.

 

[exexs]

Apple music and itunes are down here in Belgium and friends from Germany reporting me the same issue

you're a one-percenter. hand out the $$$.

 

[shandyman]

Wonder if this is why my Apple ID was locked and made me change my password 20 minutes ago.

In that case, Apple should send a notice of outage if its planned, or, do the updates while keeping the services up - a rolling update.

Updating their servers and knowingly affecting the end user, without notice is shoddy.

Should. Haven't seen anything and now mail is down too. Same with the Mac Store.
The issue, it be growing.

By the look of it, I am not sure they at Apple can send e-mails to each other right now, let alone the customers.

They appear to be coming back up. There's less yellow squares on the server list now.

 

[Nprao_94]

This is happening to me too. Yay

 

[nh1994_]

guys can you access your apps at all? I can't use a single app downloaded through my iTunes!

If only my wife went down as often as iCloud does...
