iTunes Down for Some

The iTunes Store appears to be suffering downtime and other issues today. The service is at best slow, at worst not loading for some and delivering error messages for others.

It’s rare for Apple’s media store — which recently celebrated an amazing 10 billion downloads — to suffer from technical difficulties, but it seems it has fallen foul of some kind of as-yet-unconfirmed issue.

Here at Mashable we’ve been testing the service and although a search can be carried out successfully (if slowly) trying to click through to specific items returns an error message: “We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (504).”

It seems many Twitter users are having similar problems. Recently tweeted iTunes-themed comments include “what’s wrong with iTunes today?” and “iTunes Store not working/slow. Anyone having the same problem?”

Are you suffering from iTunes issues? We are keeping an eye on the Apple support page for iTunes and will let you know when we hear more.
