For several hours this afternoon, Apple Music users on Reddit and Apple Support forums users were reporting 503 errors when trying to access Apple Music via iTunes [via MacRumors]. The error appeared during playback and also popped up randomly when no music was being played. This error apparently occured on Mac and PC desktops and did not affect Apple Music on the iPad and iPhone.
The outage started today and lasted several hours with some users reporteldy now able to reconnect to Apple Music without any subsequent errors. It is not clear what caused the error and what Apple did or is doing to fix the situation for the affected users. Apple’s system status page is not currently reporting an outage, and the daily history does not indicate there was any downtime during the day. Thankfully, users say the error was more of an inconvenience and not disabling as they could dismiss the 503 dialog box and then successfully play a song after trying a second time to play the rack.
This isn’t the first reported Apple Music outage since the service launched at the end of June. On launch day, the Beats 1 radio station was down for more than an hour. Did you experience any Apple Music problems today? Is the service now working for you? Please share your experiences in the comments.
