Why is the Apple Mac Developer portal down, and for how long?

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.

All sites require some downtime for maintenance.

Apple is no different in that respect.

Learn patience.

It's summer - the routine in the past has been that the summer intern comes in and mistakenly unplugs the main cord for the servers so they can charge their gameboy, taking the whole backend down - it takes hours before (a) they notice the outage and (b) they find the admin on vacation with the passwords to then (c) bootstrap-restore the entire system before (d) it comes back up.


Not new....not a surprise.....not expected to be the last time, as it appears to be a well honored tradition.


Welcome to the App Store.

Gameboy? Are you dating yourself? Unfortunately, I think I am about the same age so I don't know myself. What do interns these days unplug servers to charge? Google Glass? Phablets?


These kids today....

We're not talking about a smart intern 😉


This is the guy/gal that only has access to hand/me/down electronics and thinks old school is cool...only because they can't get their hands on anything current.


All I can lay claim to here that's old is a J spec PSP w/Wi-Fi and a 10GB iPod...


I'd try to be more timely on what they actually plug in or why they tripped on the power cord, but I don't want to risk being flagged.

iTC reports finally arrived today - you can it's check daily status here.


But again....unannounced outages are not new, so unless you get an email from Apple warning of same, there isn't much to do besides checking here and/or pounding on the backend yourself.

Feel free to start your own thread so it can receive the unique attention it deserves while allowing you to better track and close/award should it be solved, thanks.
