Apple Store down Thursday evening (Updated)

by Michael Rose (Sep 9th, 2011)

Ah yes, our old friend -- the Post-it of Unavailability. The Apple Store is down in the US, UK, Australia and presumably elsewhere as well. Could be maintenance, could be something else (although it seems awfully early for the rumored Mac Pro refresh). We'll know in a few hours, give or ...

Apple Store is down... and back up, with no changes

by Mike Schramm (Oct 6th, 2010)

The store's down!* We're not sure why (if I had to guess, I'd say they're updating the listings for bumper cases, since those recently returned to the retail shelves), but we'll keep an eye on things and let you know what's new when it comes back. Meanwhile, don't panic. We want a new iPod nano, ...

It's Friday afternoon, and the online Apple Store is down

by Joachim Bean (Oct 16th, 2009)

Well, this seems a little unexpected; it looks like the online Apple Store is down. Could we be seeing the new Mac mini, iMac or MacBook models that have been rumored to come out soon? When the store comes back up, we'll let you know of any changes. What do you think could come when the store is ...

The Apple Store is down, prepare yourselves

by Erica Sadun (Sep 9th, 2009)

Happy Stevemas boys and girls! As we look forward to the 9-9-09 Apple Event starting later today, which we'll be liveblogging, the Apple Store has quietly gone quiet. Megan noted the early morning price cuts to the iPod line, a bit surprising considering the announcements scheduled for later in ...

Apple Store is currently down

by Michael Jones (Aug 30th, 2009)

Yes folks, it looks like the online Apple Store is currently down. Given that it is 10:00 PM on a Saturday night over in Cupertino, I'd say chances are pretty good that it could just be some simple maintenance, but you never know. We'll keep an eye out for any changes and post an update if ...

iTunes Store & App Store problems

by Michael Jones (Jul 7th, 2009)

With the App Store celebrating its first birthday, there is a fair amount of news coverage, and with Michael Jackson's memorial service being broadcast, his fans are sure to be hitting iTunes up for some of their favorite songs. So it stands to reason that today is probably not a good day for the ...

Counting down to WWDC: The store, as they say, is down

by Michael Rose (Jun 8th, 2009)

As the sands flow through the hourglass, so appears the yellow sticky. If you doubted that we would see some sort of new product today, well, time to get with the program. C'mon back at 1pm ET for all the latest updates from the keynote. ...

Apple Store down on a Sunday?

by Michael Rose (May 3rd, 2009)

Well, that's unusual. Price drops? New gear? Regular maintenance? We'll know soon enough. Back up now... no visible changes reported and the main difference appears to be an enhanced UI for the shopping cart screen. Before & after pics below (thanks Joachim). Old cart UI: New cart UI: Thanks ...

iPhone Dev Center goes offline

by Cory Bohon (Jun 9th, 2008)

With the WWDC Keynote in less than 2.54983712 hours, the iPhone Dev Center has gone offline. "We'll be right back" is the temporary message that graces the front page of the iPhone Dev Center. This isn't a total surprise, since this portal is Apple's one stop shop for all iPhone devolper ...

Apple Store down

by David Chartier (Sep 5th, 2006)

The Apple Store (at least in the U.S.) is down. A quick check of newsfeeds shows that no one really knows why, as the only predictions are centering around September 12th, next Tuesday's special event. This is most likely a maintenance thing, but we'll let you know more as soon as we do. Thanks to ...

Apple Store UK down

by David Chartier (Jul 17th, 2006)

We're receiving tips that the Apple Store UK is down, with the infamous 'We'll be back' sticky note at center stage. There hasn't been much buzz about new products lately, and given the time of day (or night, in the UK's case), we're willing to bet this won't be anything major. Still, it's worth ...

Online Apple Store down

by Dave Caolo (Apr 11th, 2006)
