iTunes store does not load .

having somewhat similar problems. Is it the iTunes store itself that's the problem? Everything else on my wifi home network is just fine, just can't load iTunes store from my Mac, iPhone or iPad.

Same problem here (uk)

I can't connect to App store from my iPad. Since several hours ago. I get the spinning thing for a couple of minutes, then ameeage saying "cannot connect to App Store" and a button to try again.

Same thing here in Japan. Cannot access Japan or US stores.

Same here on the east coast of the US. I can access the main page, I can view updates for my apps, but I cannot download anything on my iMac or iPhone. It times out every time for the last 2+ hours now.

I have the same issues (US store). I cannot download or update any apps.

Whether its a problem or maintenance, I would like to recieve a heads up from apple about such things in the future. It's a suggestion to have some sort of status update regarding iTunes stores on the computers, iPads, iPhones and iPod touch.

Same here in Australia. No download, No access to make changes to home sharing , etc. Errors advising I do not have a connection to the netowrk (although I can access everything on itunes store).

Agree , Apple should have a status to advise their customers.

All was fine 2-3 hours ago.

This is so disappointing. First opportunity to play with my new ipad2 and i can't download anything!

Same problems here in Italy.....

yeah after looking around then finding these comments yeah same here in ohio usa.can't update or install new apps they hang with waiting underneath.what great timing for maintainance if thats the problem. imo from the ammount of intrusion attempts to other major players the last few days i'm guessing its a well planned attack.but ONLY a guess.hope they fix these issues asap

Same here in the Netherlands

Blame it on the Cloud. They likely choked on a fix for this:

Having same problem with all my apple products - Mac, Pad and Phone. None will connect to update apps? Can't see anything online from Apple saying its down though!

Same here in Florida,,, I thought I was going insane until I found this thread! At least I know it's not me!

Thanks for the info everyone, I appreciate it... takes a lot of worry off my mind... I hope they fix it soon...

Thanks...
