Apple's Online Stores Mysteriously Offline

[FlameofAnor]

Just checked, and the store is loading fine for me..... all pages in the store load OK. Perhaps the problem has been fixed?

No match for "STORE.APPLE.COM".

Interesting...



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.

no silly .. there aren't whois records for subdomains - it's only for the SOA and whois apple.com is fine

store.apple.com is a CNAME for an akadns record - hence I suspect some record cleanup from last weeks akamai DNS mess.

I'm in Florida, and it loaded for me for a little bit, but now it's not.

It's finally back up for me in NYC. Unfortunately, no iPad 3s or iPhone 5s to order.

Still getting the small piece of blue loading bar and spinning dashes on my Safari on the UK store. Considering the timescale then this is something serious. A hack OR a failure of some sort. Anyone friendly with an Apple website admin??

I also noticed that on the "select a Mac Pro" page, you can now share it on Twitter and Facebook.

 

[spiffers]

[rom3oOSX]

[dacreativeguy]

Oh yeah, why the hell would you want to do that? Gloat even more then you can already? Must have been the Twitter and Facebook that crashed it, or maybe they did background updates for new Mac Pro's???

normal

y se sont apercu que le lion c'est de la grosse merde alors y ont ferme provisoirement

I don't see why not. Apple products are so popular right now they could raise the price a little and no one would ever notice. This would help even further with their bottom line and make tons of $$$.

Quite true. If they just raised everything $25 it would be a big boost to the bottom line. I'll bet they's still sell 20 million iPhones even if they raised the price to $1000. Now that would really help the bottom line. They should really test the consumers limits.
