I cannot access the Mac Developer resources this morning.
With a company as advannced as Apple, I would expect them to be able to roll out web updates
seamlessly.
I don't like being out in the cold.
I want to download the Mavericks Beta.
I can reach everything that is currently greenlighted - didn't even have to log in. I was already logged in...strange.
not me, green links only get me to the grey message of closure
could it be because i'm logged in only with my itunes ID ?
i don't intend to enter any developer program by now,
i only want to get a copy of Quartz Express and learn it
>could it be because i'm logged in only with my itunes ID ?
Most likely, yes.
>Do the certs and profiles work?
Do you mean 'function after obtaining?' or 'can you generate new?', because it would be yes/yes for me here...
... so that means i cant download Quartz Composer, which is supposed to be free, without joining a developper program and paying 99$ ?????
For those not participating in a paid developer program, there are many resources that are not available.
Looks like the Sandbox is still down. I'm trying to test in app purchases and it tells me I have to verify my card info and puts me in the app store then keeps going in a loop asking (sandbox mode-- Continue, Enter password, Repeat)
>Looks like the Sandbox is still down.
That, or everyone and his sister is trying to do the same thing and the queue is being throttled...
Everyone might want to relax before coming here in a panic while things have a chance to normalize 🙂
nonpas - There is a free developer program membership, and the Safari program is also free. But I am not certain of the specifics of what resources are available. Quartz Composer may or may not be in the downloads for free accounts. However many things are still offline. Like registration for new accounts.

I have also noticed that once logged in I haven't needed to re-log every time as in the past. It could be an improvement was made to the portal.
Likewise although the dev centers are back, if you are a registered developer with beta access and took advantage of software update last Monday you'll notice the corresponding builds are not yet posted. I would expect a new Xcode preview and other goodies to be posted sooner or later, perhaps this upcoming Monday?
Re: >Looks like the Sandbox is still down.
From the logs:
Transaction error: Cannot connect to Itunes Store
--> applicationWillResignActive()
--> applicationDidEnterBackground()
This is where the loop begins.
So its probably down... 😟 Too bad my app is already approved for developer release, but I want to do one final test before I release it.

All Apple sites share the same authorization cookie. If you have but one Apple ID and login here, you are logged in everywhere. If you have two Apple IDs, use one to login here, and one to login there, then you aren't logged in here anymore.
I use the same ID there and here....I just logged out there and can still cruise around here. If I go back there, I am still logged out. This has always been the case. I stay logged out over there for days on end while staying logged in here. Being logged in here makes no difference there, so...there is no common cookie for me for the single ID scheme...
well, i really hope QC is avaible without entering any dev program,
everywhere on the net it is anounced as being free without any mention of any dev program fee...

This is the reason there was no significant risk in this hack. You really don't login here or login there. When you authenticate, you authenticate with the Apple ID servers. Check the address bar on the login screen. It is the same server no matter where you login. It is that AppleID that follows you around, regardless of whether or not you are logged in or out of any particular site. Your Apple ID remains in force until you quit Safari.
Apple you better get your crap fixed or I am calling back the Koreans.
Why is the Apple Mac Developer portal down, and for how long?
