Description:
The App Store, Books, the Mac App Store, Music, and more appear down
FULL STORY ======================================================================
For the second time in as many days, a number of Apple services are offline
or unavailable, according to Apple's Support - System Status page .
The outages began roughly around 5:00P PM ET and are centered around the App Store, Apple Books, Apple Music, the Mac App Store, and Podcasts.
The status page describes that some users are unable to access the App Store, make purchases from Apple Books, and sign in to Apple Music.
We have verified that the App Store is down for us.
There are some anecdotal reports on Twitter of Apple Weather being out of service. That service is listed under the Status page's "Issues" section, noting that the Weather updates might be "slow or unavailable."
Many of these same services (a total of 19) were offline for almost three hours yesterday . Apple then acknowledged the outage but offered no explanation.

Five down
The count for today's Apple Services is smaller, though with it including the App Store, perhaps no less impactful. The good news is that Apple seems to work quickly to restore these services. Yesterday, everything was back online after three hours.
Apple's services, including Podcasts, Music, Books, and the Mac App Store,
are usually stable and reliable. Two outages in two days is unusual and we hope to learn more about the root cause.
TechRadar has contacted Apple for comment and will update this Live Blog with its response.
