Apple Servers Down (no kidding)

This might be old news, but, thought it might kill a few moments while we wait.

Question: if I am able to start downloading tomorrow, and the servers get mugged by overuse shortly thereafter, is it likely that my download will get killed in the crossfire? My internet dl speed is pathetic, so I anticipate 2.5 to three hours even if the servers behave properly.
Thats why you don't post that the 2.0 update is avalible, people will rush through it and break the server again. I think Apple needs a line system where you wait in a queue and go 2 million at a time

    Any idea?

    Exact same issue. Just started occurring out of the blue and I've not made any changes to my settings. I validated all incoming and outgoing server settings and I am perfectly aligned with iCloud requirements.

  • [Activation] Apple iOS Activation servers down?

    Hi, today i was trying to update my iPhone 4S from iOS 5.0 to 5.1.1. No problems restoring it, but when i try to activate it, the process fails every time. It seems that Apple Activation servers are down?
    Im a computer enthusiast and have already checked my home network for issues that can block access to apple servers, also checked from another network and machines, but still no luck. Tried to activate using WiFi on my iPhone, 3G network, and even Connect to iTunes on my PC. I noticed that apple activation server is gs.apple.com. Pinging it from any source on my network just generates timeouts, and even tried to ping it from online pages that provide ping service (ping.eu), but it generates timeouts too.
    This is happening since about 3 hours ago, and im still with my iphone waiting for activation, cant restore backups neither. It seems that my iphone, for now, its only filling space on my protective case.
    I attached a traceroute and pings from my network and from an online page that provides it, also Screenshots of both errors on my iPhone and iTunes.
    Thanks.

    Hi, to activate your iPhone using wi-fi:
    1) Connect to your wi-fi then press the home button and press more wi-fi settings
    2) A blue arrow should appear next to you wi-fi name, press the blue arrow
    3) On the DNS section input 8.8.8.8 and then try the activation again.
    Hope this helps

    I am having a similar issues with you.
    In my case, it is an ipod touch with beta ios7 with legit UDID.
    It has been telling me that the activation server might be temporarily down since two weeks ago or even more.
    Is the server really down?

  • Are the Email servers down, I am unable to access new mail.

    Are the email servers down? I am unable to retrieve my mail from either on-line or the local mail app.

    Still down; about 24 hours now.  The Apple Rep I spoke to yesterday said they were HOPING to get them back up within 24 hours, but didn't want to promise that.
    I've moved all my contact info over to gmail.

  • Apple Servers versus PC Servers -  Who wins?

    Hi
    I'm starting a new business and have almost decided to use Mac in the office. One question remains though - servers!
    To-date I have only used Mac at home on a stand alone basis. I've only ever used PC's in work and although not 100% sure why I've always seemed to suffer with server problems and down time. While I realise the clear advantages of a stand alone Mac over PC, can the same be said for Apple Servers and if so why?
    Thanks

    Hi Tod
    Thanks so much for the response.
    The reason for my approach is that we are a repro company, so initially we will have a couple of G5's for the designers, and then either Powerbooks or MiniMacs for the 5-6 other people. There are also going to be at least 2-3 RIPs which take the images from the server and output them to the big printers.
    I am planning to use centralised apps, ie Mail and FileMaker Pro Server with the Creative Pro pack as this will give us all the workflow and CRM we need I think. I have also seen that this will link to QuickBooks for accounting, so that should take care of that. There is also a product called MYOB which is accounting for Mac, which also looks good - but I don't think there is any filemaker interaction. All the client files and images will be stored centrally, only other things like Photoshop will be locally installed. I am also hoping to create a desktop image on the server which I can drop on to the MAC for when I need to (re)install it.
    The reason for looking at a cluster scenario is that it would be completely scalable, expecially as there will be some big files goind around and a lot of ripping to big colour output machines. Using a centralised storage component would also give us complete scalability.
    So, basically rather than having one server for network services/printing/admin, one for mail, one for filemaker etc - I thought that this would be a better way to share processing resources.
    I really am trying to avoid having to use windows anywhere!
    The LAN infrastructure will hopefully be built on Cisco 3750's which will give 1gb to the desktop and will also provide layer 3 vlaning so we can seperate the "chatter" between the RIP's/admin/dtp desktops.
    PHEW! I know this is going to cost a bit, but the plan is to do it right now. We have set an expectation to ourselves that we don't want to have to invest for 3 years (preferably 5) in new hardware except for new hires, but a 2 node cluster will easily give us room for 20 people without even a license upgrade.
    The one remaning thought is how we are going to deal with ISDN. Clients may still want to transmit files via this method and I am VERY nevous about putting ISDN directly on the network. I think we may have to buy another maching and create a DMZ on the firewall and have that as a drop box and then viruscheck then connect via RDP to move files manually over to the main server. We could always use this same server as an FTP server and Mail relay too - so it would make best use of having to buy another server.
    Anyway - that's us.. your comments always appreciated.

    How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

    Welcome to the community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
    If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

  • Which Apple servers are used for authentification?

    Hello.
    I use iPad in corporate network via WiFi.
    Network is secured by  gateway, which stands as a proxy for any inside/outside traffic.
    I have an issue - while using AppStore on iPad, after pressing Install button on any application, I got error message:
    'Couldn't connect to Store. Unable to setup secure connection to server. Check time settings' (the message is in Russian, so it's not 100% accurate translation).
    The issue is solved very easy - if I would press Install while I'm on GSM network internet (3G), app is starting to download. Then I presson app to pause, turn on WiFi and press app to continue - voila, it's downloaded with no problems. So the issuer is narrowed only to failed authentification via gateway, because downloading itself is going OK.
    Admins have to add iTunes servers to white list in order to provide working authentification, but couldn't finf exact list of what Apple servers' IP / domain names to add. Does anybody have this info?
