App Store and iTunes Store Currently Down for Some Users [Updated]
Apple's iTunes Store and App Store appear to be down for many users on both iOS devices and desktops, with attempts to access the stores resulting in one of several error messages such as "Cannot Connect to App Store" and "The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store."
Issues seem to have begun this morning, as several users noted an inability to download the Skype app following its release. Some users attempting to download the app received a message indicating the app was no longer available for download.

The Apple TV also appears to be experiencing issues, with the Movies and TV sections missing and inaccessible.
Apple's System Status page is not currently reporting any outages.
