whats up with Apple.Com ?!?!?!?

[sparkleytone]

don't know how long this is going to last but check this pic out. this is apple.com....it redirects to the site map. wonder why?? wierd

 

[sparkleytone]

already fixed...hmmmm

 

[Gus]

Not fixed

I just checked the site at 9:02 central, and it still has the Apple.com Site Index. A goof by an updater?

 

[bunton]

???

9:37 pm it works didnt at about 9:20

Is it going back and forth?

What has been updated?

 

[Beej]

Seems to be working fine for me now... could just be maintenence...

 

[sparkleytone]

the whole website is acting very strangely. i keep getting connectioon refusals to Mac.com and the site index shows up as the homepage every once in a while still. either something is coming out which needs some new webspace, or someone is getting fired.

hmmmmmm

Website's still funny. nothing at the store yet. It's 11:30 Apple's time.I don't think they'd be announcing sonething this soon would they? Hmmmmm...

 

[sparkleytone]

hmmmmmm

it looks like The Apple Store is down now too......

 

[vniow]

Seems to work for me. The only thing I can think of is an updated Superdrive https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=9023

Other than that I have no clue except for possible maintenence. Very strange, though.

The store seems to be up.

The Apple.com website seems to be up.

mac.com seems to be up and running.

Probably there was an intense amount of traffic on the site. Remember around/after the times of MWNY on this site? Man, what a load of traffic that was.

now if only System Update would work...

 

[gopher]

The iPod updater was what was added last night. And yes you can download it straight from the website. One Caveat, it is only for Mac OS X.

 

[King Cobra]

All right. The Apple main website redirects to what sparkley mentioned.

This all might have something to do with new PowerMacs, for whatever reason.

These pages come up differently (note, no http)

www.apple.com/
www.apple.com

I think it's just a config issue with Apache.

[King Cobra]

I guess that's fixed now.

Both links w/ and w/o http linked directly to the Apple website.

Is there a problem with different browsers with Apache?

Not just the way you type it

If you go to www.apple.com (or http://www.apple.com) and it didn't bring you to the Site Map/Index, then try this:

Click on the Apple tab, wait for the refresh, then repeat.

Eventually, you'll see it serve up the Site Map.

I noticed this problem two days ago. I thought there was something wrong with my browsers (I tried several) or with my connection to the Net.

Glad to see it wasn't just me, this time.

On some other sites, they discuss this in addition to some other things and point to this as another possible "big" change that is in the works for an announcement on the 13th (my Birthday, 33... ugh.)

To add a little more speculation (fuel to the fire), if you do get the Site Map, under the Apple Store it has listed Power Mac G4 -- is there another type of Power Mac other than G4?

No, I was pointing out that he was looking to deep into it. I just didn't come across well.

Hey sparkleytone

What are those icons on your dock?
ie: Alien one, the Egyptian one, the dude in the red hat, the windows w/satellite, and the brown one?
