Apple's iTunes stores, including the App Store, iBookstore and Mac App Store are all experiencing issues. August 7, 2013 10:53 AM PDT (Credit: Sarah Tew/CNET) A number of Apple's iTunes-related services became unavailable on Wednesday. An outage, which Apple says affects "some users" began at roughly 8:20 a.m. PT, and remains ongoing. "Users may be unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store, or iBookstore," Apple said on its status page. "Users may also be unable to download previously-purchased content, use iTunes Match, or successfully restore Apps and Music from an iCloud backup." Apple's iTunes services have experienced occasional downtimes this year, something that's become increasingly problematic as Apple more deeply integrates those services into its portable and desktop gadgets. One of the last outages came near the end of June, and affected some 20 percent of users from making purchases through iTunes and came alongside a separate outage for Apple's iCloud.
