iTunes store does not load .

I think their cluster is already worried or having flashbacks to what happened whenthe iPhone 4 was released and is worried about the upcoming iPhone 5 release. :-)

I am having the same issue in Australia with all my devices! None are able to connect to the app store or itunes stores.

it would be nice if they would put some large message somehwere stating that the service is down, or instead of a network timeout error have that message. because i know alot of people start checking their routers and stuff and trying to fix the issue only to find out its not on your end...so yes, plz apple...ANNOUNCE your outages so we dont waste time trying to figure out whats going on.

I agree, I was playing around with everything for an hour before I realised it wasn't on my end!

Re Lord Norr: I wish I could get new apps for my girlfriend.....

Same here in Australia.

Same here on multiple devices, home wifi and AT&T. Only seems to affect updates or new paid purchases. I was able to download a free app on AT&T on one device. Unable to login to another AppleID on my devices. A lot of spinning but no workie. I actually wanted to buy a $9.99 app, but can't!

Same problem here in France.... We just have to wait ? Is it working for somebody ?

Your right.. why not send out a mass email or a text? This is what happens when Steve Jobs leaves for a minute. 😁

MPower: This gives you the time to rethink your purchase I guess... 😉

Apple did make changes to their push servers recently (or maybe today!) so wonder if this is related.

HAHA i will be calling apple later on to ask them why they dont post outages such as this. i love apple, but sometimes they do some of the biggest facepalm moments for me.

And it was an Apple app! Not toad salt to the wound, but.... :)

Same here in NZ very disappointing start to getting my Ipad running spent quite some time checking everything at my end. Agree with comments about the lack of outage update. This is a must will be complaining for sure

congrats NZ lol
