Many Apple services were hit by outages Tuesday evening, including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV Plus, and Apple Arcade, according to Apple’s system status page. For a majority of the affected services, Apple vaguely said that “some users were affected,” though for AppleCare in iOS and Apple School Manager, Apple said “all users were affected.”

Here are some of the services that were affected at one point in time. Apple’s status page says that 25 outages were resolved today.

  • Find My
  • Game Center
  • iCloud Account & Sign In
  • iCloud Backup
  • iCloud Calendar
  • iCloud Contacts
  • iCloud Mail
  • iCloud Web Apps (iCloud.com)

Apple hasn’t replied to a request for comment.

Apple isn’t the only company to experience services outages lately — many Microsoft services were affected by a multi-hour outage on Monday, and there was a multi-state 911 outage on Monday as well.

Update, September 29th, 11:24PM ET: Updated to confirm that Apple has resolved the outages. The headline has also been updated to reflect this fact.
