Apple’s iTunes Store is having problems and iTunes Connect is down

It looks like Apple is having a bad Wednesday. The iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store are suffering outages and the company’s app submission service iTunes Connect is down.

While the front pages of both the App Store and Mac App Store are accessible, we have hit broken pages on the US and UK App Stores when accessing individual apps. Meanwhile, though music, film and TV content is still visible in the iTunes Stores, you can’t actually buy it.

The problems seem to be geographically inconsistent – it appears to be possible to download apps from the Indian App Store but music tracks aren’t accessible there.


As you might expect, iBooks is down too and in-app purchases are broken. There also seem to be issues with TestFlight, the company’s service which allows developers to give beta testers access to their apps. It’s currently inaccessible for some iOS users.

We have contacted Apple for details on the situation and will update this post when we have more. The company’s status page shows all its services working correctly but that clearly isn’t the case.
