App Store, iTunes, Apple TV and more experiencing service disruptions (Update: Restored)

iTunes-outage

Update: Apple says all services are restored.

Following an outage of many Apple services earlier this week, several of Apple’s iTunes and App Store services are again today experiencing disruptions, according to Apple’s system status page.

Apple is currently listing outages for the App Store, Apple TV, iBooks Store, iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, iTunes Radio, iTunes Store, iTunes U, Mac App Store, and OS X Software Update.

The company says that only some users are affected and currently “unable to access multiple services and stores or make purchases.”

Following the outage earlier this week, which also hit some of Apple’s own stores, Apple blamed the outage on “an internal DNS error at Apple,” and apologized to customers for the inconvenience.

    No, they’re not all restored. Still can’t update within App Store.

    LAST time this happened, I was in the midst of a system software update: corrupted multiple (known) applications which consequently required removal and reinstallation… and I’m STILL finding others that suffered similarly (Adobe CS5.5 – entire – MacUpdate Desktop – MacBooster 2 – TurboTax, and counting)!
    C’mon, Apple – get yer sh*t together, willya?

    Might have something to do with the mayor power outage in Amsterdam, since it’s a huge hub for international internet traffic. Plus rumours say that Apple has a few racks in data centers in Amsterdam. Power is slowly being restored.
