Apple Music outage makes service unavailable to some users [U]

Update, April 17, 12:21 p.m. ET: After briefly marking the issue as resolved, then reverting it to back an outage, Apple now once again lists it as solved on its System Status page. The original post follows below.

Apple’s System Status page confirms an ongoing Apple Music outage that is making the service unavailable or slow for some users. Here are the details.

Apple Music faces ongoing outage

According to Apple’s System Status page, an Apple Music outage has been affecting users since 4:59 p.m. ET.

The status page says that “some users are affected,” adding that “the service may be unavailable or slow for some users.” The company has not provided additional details about the root cause of the outage or how widespread the issue may be.

Today’s disruption follows a separate problem earlier in the day that impacted the iTunes Store, which experienced issues between 7:00 a.m. ET and 2:15 p.m. ET before being resolved.

Apple has not shared an estimated timeline for a fix. We’ll keep an eye on the situation and update this post if the outage is resolved or if Apple provides any new information.

Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can sign up for $10.99 per month, with 1 month free.
