Apple store is down... and now back up

by Chris Rawson (RSS feed) on Sep 20th, 2009

The online Apple store is currently down. Considering it's the middle of the weekend for folks in the Western Hemisphere, and considering that we haven't heard much in the way of rumors concerning new products or product updates, this is more than likely just a maintenance update. We'll be monitoring the store's status and try to determine what, if anything, has changed when it comes back up.

And... it's back up. Nothing much appears to have changed, aside from some reports of pricing changes on refurb iPods and the 'new' badges on some products.

Thanks to the many readers who sent this in.

Love that yellow sticky note...

...for the downtime in the store means that the Black Friday discounts will soon be up in the US. We already know the rough scale of the savings -- modest, not dramatic -- so don't get too excited!

Thanks to everyone who sent this in. Now, go to bed and sleep off that load of turkey.

Change is coming... to the Apple Store

by Michael Rose (RSS feed) on Nov 4th, 2008

Sorry, couldn't resist. Yes, the Apple Store is down right now (~~apparently worldwide~~ no, just US and Canada, sorry) despite Apple's denial of any new products before the holiday season. Chances are this is just routine maintenance, although it's definitely Tuesday... so we'll see.

Update: Looks like it's the holiday window dressing and possibly some changes to the refurb section.

Thanks to all the night owls who sent this in.

Store down, iTunes down

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Oct 3rd, 2007

So, I'm over at iTunes trying to snag this free Supernatural episode and the entire iTunes store goes down. From what all of you have been sending in, so has the main Apple online store. So: thanks for letting us know and you can stop sending in those tips!

Update: It is back, without an update. Nothing to see here, folks, move along.
