Oh Dear Apple!

So Apple store has been down most of today as has icloud Totally not smug and gloating...

Strange, we have been looking at Office 365 Live and I started questioning this "Online" reliance. Although I know you can download PC/Mac - Office 365 constantly reminds me I can.

 

Just got me thinking again that when they go down you are potentially screwed.

Yep...I've been desperate to get a couple of apps pushed out via the VPP today and this has screwed with those plans a treat.

 

It's true, it doesn't happen often, but when it does a cloud service going down REALLY causes grief.

I noticed it this afternoon as I was updating our school ipads on a quieter day for them since they went live and itunes and the mac App store just refused to log me in for about 4 hours, despite nothing being wrong with the apple IDs.

 

Only one app to update so it avoided a major headache thankfully on both stores.

Being so heavily reliant on iPads here we have a cache server setup so luckily it didn't actually affect us that much but still...
