7:01 PM - iTunes not usable, iPhone update to blame
Yet again, Apple releases a highly anticipated update and cannot handle the server load. Users of iTunes may remember the problems during Christmas with ITMS timing out. This time iPhone updaters are killing the connection to ITMS. I was able to get the os update for my phone earlier and it's ok, but not as amazing as I expected. Now I'm unable to purchase any content from iTunes. The apple forums are full of crazed users wondering why their computers aren't working and it's all a server farm at apple that's the problem. One person suggested apple updated to a new server farm and yet still can't handle the load.
