A geographical oddity
I'm just wondering if anybody else is having trouble connecting to music store. Obviously my internet connection is fine. I thought it might be my machine, but my roomate cannot connect either.

I did a quick scan for another thread mentioning this - didn't see it
 
Possibly To do with the Pepsi/iTunes promo. I would be happy if it is cuz i have two caps to redeam and i really want to win the iPod mini but the chances are 1 in 200,000,000 :eek:

There's no Pepsi promotion in Europe and it looks like only the N.Ireland store is still up.

Could just be a regular update N.Ireland is newer than iTMS UK etc.
 
The iPod / iTunes pages on Apple websites are down too in UK, France & Germany, not US.
 
I'm in vancouver and the canada store seems to be working fine but the american one is sloooooooooow.
 
iTMS down in BC...

I'm in British Columbia, Canada and it's been down for half hour now.
I can browse....slowly....but can't login or purchase anything.

Just as I was gonna buy the American Idiot album...
 
It's working here in Utah, but it's incredibly slow. It could be that they're doing maintenance in anticipation of the Pepsi/iTunes promotion starting.
 
i may have spoken too soon. I can preview some artists - so far only the songs that are listed on the main page or the songs from the albums listed. But I can't search, browse will not load album names. I think whoever mentioned it might be right about getting ready for the promotion, but why would only some features be down? I haven't tried to make a purchase, so I don't know how that would change things.

On a related note, I haven't seen any special Pepsi bottles here - are they showing up everywhere else?

Yeah the bottels have been in my local Mijers i must say that i look like a shoplifter (i take the bottels in the beging of shoping so i can do the tilt trick and then i put the rest back) i sorta feel bad for the other people buying them cuz i am taking all the wining caps :rolleyes:
 
It has been down for me for the last hour... well... should say I have not been able to purchase my weekly music for the last hour.

I want my new tunes :(
