This morning, Apple had some problems with certain of its services. The App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store, Apple TV, iBooks Store, iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match and the Volume Purchase Program all were disabled globally, earlier today. The outage lasted for more than an hour, but we can now tell you that all systems are go according to the Apple Support System website.
The website showed that Apple's store services were down from around 10am EST today, to 11am. According to Apple, "Users may have been unable to access multiple stores/services or make purchases." In addition, some iCloud services were part of the outage. Apple cautions that "New and recently changed content may not have updated across devices for iCloud Drive, Backup, iCloud Notes, iWork for iCloud, and Photos. Users may also have been unable to use multiple services at iCloud.com." If you wanted to back up some data this morning, you might want to repeat the process just to be safe.
