It’s not just you: Apple Music, Beats 1 and iTunes are down for many users [Update: They’re back]

If you’ve been having trouble accessing iTunes and the App Store or listening to Beats 1 today, know that at least you’re not alone.

Both services appear to be down at the moment – or at least loading very slowly. The outage happens as Apple and MTV partnered to announce nominations for the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Beats 1.
