App Store, iTunes Store, iBook Store and other services of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it doesn't work for the third time in about two weeks, those from Apple displaying this on the website dedicated to the status of its iCloud services, and unlike the past situations, this time the problem is a programmed one. Specifically, those from Apple they programmed maintenance work on the servers on which these services operate, so that all users are affected due to their unavailability and the American company does not say when the problems will be solved, so everything could take up to a few hours.
Considering that it is morning in the US, the choice of Apple to perform maintenance work is strange, but this matters less now because in the event that you will not be able to access the App Store or download applications from it, you will know what that is the basis of your problem. Separate from the services listed by Apple, it seems that there are problems with data synchronization via iCloud, sending emails via iCloud and many others.
UPDATED: According to Apple all services should work normally now.
