Q: is anyone having trouble connecting to the App store today?

Same here, got kind of worried when i couldnt figure out why my brother couldnt update his apps,

The odd thing is that imessage and facetime are still working

Also i can still view the app store, i wonder why i cant download from it?

Oh well, hope they fix the servers

Good...not just me. I can't connect with my iPhone, iPad, or even on my PC. I was in the middle of a chat with an agent when we got disconnected. I've never had this problem before. I thought there was a problem with my account!

I feel everyone's pain, I can't connect either

Having the same issues...ugh.

same problem here; been trying to access it for over an hour.  so annoying...... 

Definite problem. Just found this on this site:

Same here.  Seems to have started about an hour ago.  Can you imagine how much money Apple is losing every minute the store is down!?

Same with me with my ipad & iphone

Same with me(iphone+ipad)

I have the same problem here :(

It should have nothing to do with wifi because i can still go on the internet and view the app store with no problem. But when trying to download new apps or buy anything from the Itunes store it says it wont connect.

Same problems here. Can't access via iPad or iPhone on either wifi or 4G. Looks like iTunes Store is down.

I sent an email to apple requesting assistance after I went through all of the troubleshooting steps...this is a relief that my iPad is working fine and it may be an apple issue. Thanks for putting it out there!

I think I can access it now. Was able to download an app already.

It's fine for me too! Woo hoo! I am an Apple Addict, tho!
