Users are experiencing a problem with this service. We are investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available.
According to Apple’s site, the outage began around 1:10 PM PT/4:10 PM ET, and that the issue is ongoing. There is no word on when the issue will be resolved as of yet, but hopefully it will be sooner rather than later. There is no workaround to fix the issue at this time, either, so if you’re running into a roadblock at the moment, you’ll just have to wait it out.
