On the other hand, the reboot fixes it... But only because it takes a while. Getting a cup of coffee would also fix it, for the same reason. 503 means some server is overloaded, so usually you just wait a bit and it works again.
Got a tip for us?

So I had this error earlier and have now run into an even bigger problem.
Essentially it is now showing me all my music as in iCloud/iTunes Match/Apple Music and not on the hard drive. The files are still there but not linked.
Anyone else had this? If I re-import the original files will it duplicate them?
Helps would be much appreciated.

Haha wtfThis is the most stupid thing I've heard in my entire life.
Don't know what to tell you, I thought it was a bit of a stretch but it has solved the issue for me... I thought it was strange...

Man, anyone would think this wasn't still a new service. I mean it's not like Spotify ever has any downtime at all.
Oh, wait...
Yes, Apple have all the money in the world. But doing this stuff is tricky. Let's try to keep some of our toys in the pram.

I'm not subscribed to Apple Music, only iTunes Match, and I saw this issue this afternoon.
No ill will towards any other members here, but I'm glad this is happening to others now too.
Apple Music has been a frigging disaster for me from the get go. This syncing between my devices is very haphazard and I seem to not be getting sound quality as good as I was before.
Maybe this will force Apple to act swiftly. and by the way I still think iTunes is an absolute mess. I've been looking for a replacement for cataloguing, managing and playing my music but there isn't really a viable alternative out there for Mac & iOS.

If you delete the iTunes folder from your Music folder and setup iTunes again, it will work. This is the only solution that worked for me.
Yup, they really need to fix that, it's embarrassing them. They should have the best, most intelligent and up-to-date status pages online. I've seen such a thing, so I know it's possible. Come on Apple, enough with the pretending to have a "Status" page...
Well. That's an entire day with only Beats 1 available on my mac. I know Apple Music is free at the moment but it's taking the pizz to be unable to access anything other than Zane Low. Is this a strange promotion tactic?
I've not tried to stream any U2 yet so ....

I don't use Apple Music, and I haven't even tried to play any of my own tracks lately. Regardless, I'm still being spammed with this error.
She literally just made that up cuz that's a load of bollocks.I contacted Apple about it. She did a screen share with me, had me go into firewall, made me turn "on" firewall which I did not realize was off (Shame on me!
Great, another iTunes bug to pile on top of the one where it crashes if you pause iTunes Radio for too long. Are they ever going to fix that?
Something is horribly wrong if turning on the firewall has any effect on that.I contacted Apple about it. She did a screen share with me, had me go into firewall, made me turn "on" firewall which I did not realize was off (Shame on me!
While this outage is going on...

I'm having a similar issue. I'm able to stream and download with the iPhone while on LTE, but I'm unable to do the same on wifi. Same with iTunes. Wifi streaming and downloads were working fine earlier, and my internet connection is otherwise working for web browsing, etc.
Can't trust Apple when it comes to web and cloud services. Since end of last year I get "Can't load iCloud Drive" error when trying to access files via the www.icloud.com interface. Seems there is no solution to this error, been in contact with Apple support several times, never received promised calls from senior technical support staff. Moved on to OneDrive, works great.
