Apple iTunes down: store and other services experiencing problems, some broken completely
Not possible to buy films, music and TV shows from store, and many developers tools are down
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Most of Apple’s online services are down this morning, with users experiencing problems buying media from the iTunes store and developers unable to make changes to apps.
The iTunes Store, mobile App Store and the Mac App Store are all still accessible, but many pages are having trouble loading and making purchases seems not to work.
And developer tools like iTunes Connect, which allows people to upload and make changes to apps and games, are down entirely. TestFlight, which lets developers give testers early versions of apps, is also down.
The problem seems to be hitting most of the company’s online services. iBooks is also said to be down.
The Apple status page, which shows whether it knows about any problems have been found in the company’s services, shows all of its systems as green and working. The timeline on that page shows that it has reported no issues during this morning.
But many users reported the problems on Twitter.
