Apple Store down

it was down for maintainance. i bought an M-Audio Ozone a few hours before it went down. the store's site was lagging real bad. i could not log in to track my shippment. i called apple and they said it was just maintanance on the servers and thats why it was lagging bad

goddam, I wish you would stop joking about the iPhone....

The UK LCD screens (top two) have come down!

Must have been an update for the coming Leap Second.

Must be your fault then Josh. That big order got the site all excited and overloaded?? Oh well....yes we are always playing detective with apple because they want it that way...everything is top secret until announced.

The fact is the whole site crashed. I was shopping on it trying to get a big order in when pagest stopped loading and database errors appeared. I called my Apple rep and he was surprised the store was behaving badly. About 5 minutes after he said he'd contact the online store people, the site switched to say it was closed. For about 30 minutes before that the site was seriously ill. I had to use CDW to make my shopping list to submit it to my apple rep because the Apple store was down.

Boo, hiss. Because of the holiday weekend it's likely this is the best time to roll out a code update to the store and still have a few hours to squash any showstoppers before all the developers take off for vacation.

At least it won't take them 4 days to get it back up like Weblogs, Inc. comments. Ever heard of staging servers, guys?

You guys are trying too hard.

It appears they might've changed the Education store, as there's a "custom" store for the university I'm going to attend. That wasn't there a few days ago.

aw, nothing new! its up again, and nothing changed! :(
