Mac.com down again

This is what I get.

I'm chalking this up to growing pains for a very new service with massive future potential. If this is the price of Apple continually upgrading their service and making it better, I'm all for it.

That being said...IT REALLY PISSES ME OFF!!!!

can't get my mac mail here at work either. Can't connect to server.....

It's a bit annoying to say the least...

 

Hey, TheT, what's that weather app running in your menubar? that pretty groovy.

 

It's back up for me now...guess we had to wait for Apple's west coast people to get to work.

 

.Mac licks. Paying for something based on imagined future features is inane. I've got better places to spend $100.

 

Still not working for me...

Can't connect with outlook...

Can't get to webmail....

mac.com not working...

very annoying....

 

all appears to be working now..

 

I don't know if anybody else has noticed this, but this is like the 10th thread in the past couple of weeks that sez .Mac down.
That's not a good sign for Apple's service.

 

Re: Mac.com down again

I know.. this makes me sick!!! BTW, cool browser, what is it?

 

it works for me, but i was at school all day! i think that it all seems to be up now! but what were the chagnes, i dont' see any!!!!

 

oh here we go:

Dear .Mac Member,

We hope you haven't been greatly inconvenienced by the two .Mac network outages we've experienced in the past two weeks (including this morning) and we sincerely apologize for any problems you've experienced. The outages were the result of equipment failures, and since the equipment vendor has not been able to persuade us that the problem will not occur again, we've already begun installing new equipment from a different vendor.

We're completely back up and running now, and no data or mail was lost. We expect the equipment change over to be complete within the next several weeks, and we'll be working hard to ensure that there are no further issues during that time. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience while we make this transition, and if you do experience any difficulties, please go to www.apple.com/support for up to the minute information and status.

The .Mac team

 

got the email got mad, I'm not happy

 

same over here, that is totally not acceptable.. and they should no better... at least make up a decent excuse lol

 

OK, maybe I'm going to sound like a big sucker, but doesn't this sound liek a good thing. If its true, it means they identified a problem in the system and were willing to switch equipment so the problem wouldn't happen again. Now lets see if they follow through.

.mac makes me mad - its just bad business. In fact, you have to ask why apple even bothers 'selling' products outside of the U.S.? oh sorry - it doesn't bother at all, it just relies on the like of 'us' to do the selling for it...grrrr......
