Apple Music and Apple TV experiencing partial outage

Apple has logged an outage affecting Apple Music and Apple TV (including the Apple TV Channels feature). The issue appeared on Apple’s System Status page at about 2:53PM ET and is reported to impact “some” users rather than a full worldwide outage.

DownDetector reports began appearing shortly before Apple’s notice, suggesting users started seeing problems around 2:33PM ET. Anecdotal reports indicate that many subscribers can still stream normally, so the outage appears intermittent or limited in scope at the moment.

What to check if you’re affected

• Visit Apple’s official System Status page to see live updates: Apple System Status.
• Try restarting the app or device, sign out and back into your Apple ID, and confirm your network connection.
• Check community outage trackers (e.g. DownDetector) to see if other users in your area report similar problems.

Why this matters

Even partial outages of major streaming services can disrupt listening and viewing routines, and they reveal how reliant users are on cloud services. If you rely on Apple Music or Apple TV for live events or scheduled playback, interruptions can be particularly disruptive.

Apple’s status page will typically show progress as engineers investigate and resolve issues. We’ll update when Apple posts a fix or more details.
