Apple App Store outage - you're not alone

Yes, the App Store has been down and out for a bit this morning and you're not the only one to experience this oddity. Starting in the evening of October 2nd, 2014, the App Store for both of Apple's main platforms, iOS and OS X, were sporadically out to dinner – then breakfast.

The out times are not limited to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite, the latter of which remains in Beta until final release later this year. On that note – there may be an Apple event on the 16th of October for iPad, iMac, and the release of OS X Yosemite.

Users with errors have been seeing "Service Unavailable" and "STATUS_CODE_ERROR" on both platforms. Users are also seeing extended wait times and update times. Apple TV has also been taking extra time to load apps, and users have been unable to redeem gift codes.

Let us know if you've been unable to download apps or update apps this afternoon and we'll let you know when we know what's up. Stay tuned!
