Apple Music, App Store, iCloud, Apple.com, and Other Services Experiencing Issues [Resolved]

Wednesday October 16, 2019 11:34 AM PDT by Joe Rossignol

While not yet reflected on Apple's system status page, a number of Apple services are currently experiencing downtime or slow performance, including the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, and the iTunes Store. Apple's website is also experiencing some issues, including its developer portal being unavailable right now.

The issues span multiple countries and extend to Apple's Mail and TV apps. Not every user is affected, so your mileage may vary as Apple works through its server issues. We'll update as the situation unfolds.

Update - 10:45 a.m. Pacific Time: Apple's services and developer portal appear to be functional again.

LMAO... It just works... No it doesn't. The problems just keep increasing year over year. Car play is a mangled mess. Trying to access a full album sends you to a "Loading..." screen that never loads. Emails are now a nightmare in iOS. Catalina... let's just pretend like that's not happening. What's next?

I remember the days when we had to wait for an update but at least it was rock solid. We're entering Microsoft territory here folks... All I wanted was to listen to Classic Rock this morning... Thanks Apple. Good thing I'm paying for a service I can't use...
