The FQDNs have been resolving. Clearing the cache wouldn't cause this though.

My guess is that they're upgrading the servers for heavy site traffic when the iPhone 5 pre-order page goes live. Anyway, it's working here in SD - finally.

For those not reaching it, try this alternate url:

http://store.gcsis-apple.com.akadns.net/

Drats! That alternate link worked and no new items. Boo!

EDIT: Well the Apple Store finally loaded (for me) at 0938 hrs almost five hours since I first noticed it went down. That was a long time...and still no new items.

Many of the MacBook pro's are not currently available (13 and entry 15). Also low end iMacs and Mac pro ??....

 

[eagandale4114]

It loads great here in CA.

Edit: Just randomly trying to customize a mac and I get a session error.

 

[Repo]

My MBP's wifi keeps dropping, so I didn't even notice.

Weird, I disabled Opera's Turbo Mode and it loaded. It's working in IE too. (USA)

 

[applefan289]

Was up for me (in Florida) for a little bit, but now it's back down.

 

[Gasu E.]

I'm seeing it fine here at work in Massachusetts with IE.

Interesting...

Yep... Lion

Virtually every single Apple product that gets released nowadays gets booed for the first month or two, then people settle down and start enjoying the product. It's getting quite tiring.

 

[frunkis54]

Yep... Lion

Not even close....

the Mobile Me release was 100times worse.

 

[dcjsail]

Still offline in New England

Chrome, Firefox and Opera all showing errors to the store.
