The outage, which began around 1:30 am PT, means customers may be unable to make purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, iBooks Store or Mac App Store, the company reported.
Consumers turned to Twitter to vent their unhappiness, under the hashtag #appstoredown.
Apple issued a statement this morning apologizing for the outage and said the cause was an internal domain name server error at Apple.
“We’re working to make all of the services available to customers as soon as possible, and we thank everyone for their patience,” the company said.
