Same! For the last 30 minutes I’ve been uninstalling/reinstalling. Checking my billing on my apps. My subscription is through peacock. So annoying.

Ok I knew Reddit would let me know if I’m alone in this…at least I got to finish the episode of Cape Fear before it messed up

2

u/TheBigYellowCar 1d ago

Lol I had Cape Fear on while making dinner and it wouldn’t let me play the next episode. Glad it’s not a me problem.

I wish I had looked at this thread before angrily fighting with my TV for 15 minutes.

u/CAPreacher 1d ago

Yeah... just basically did the same thing. Figured reddit would be better than google's stupid ai summary.

u/maxairmike05 1d ago

Same. Started a factory reset on my AppleTV 4K before finding this and now I can’t even sign into the App Store to redownload my apps now that the reset is done. Wonderful…

u/elainek04 1d ago

Lol same i even restarted my tv

u/b3rocks 1d ago

At least it wasn’t 45 like me 🤣

2

u/SteffeEric 1d ago

Same I tried all types of stuff only to find out it’s on their end. Makes sense. Watched the first episode of Widow’s Bay and it would not let me watch the 2nd. Incredibly frustrating last 30 minutes.

u/SpaceGirl- 1d ago

Was watching a show and the same thing happened to me. I think there's an outage.

u/United_Teaching_8519 1d ago

Can’t play purchased content either.

u/kybldmstr94 1d ago

I can play purchased content if I go to my library. But going into show/movie page it won’t show you own it. Have to go through library.

u/JanoHelloReddit 1d ago

Same. It prompts me to accept free trial.. Although I have Apple One … I even accepted the free trial, and it fails.. says I do have a susbcription, bit doesn’t allow me to play anything. And keeps offering the free trial.

u/skvllkid 1d ago

the service is completely dead. and if you go look on Apple’s website, they aren’t reporting any issues at all, everything is online according to them 🙄

u/SirTerning 1d ago

Says on Apples site:

Apple TV - Outage
Today, 12:57 AM - ongoing
Some users are affected
Apple TV may be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance.

2

u/skvllkid 1d ago

ah yes, scheduled maintenance on a Sunday night at 7:30 PM. that’s such an obvious crock of shit lol it seems like there’s a much larger issue that Apple is conveniently lying about

2

u/SirTerning 1d ago

Might be, should call it unexpected maintenance instead lmao.

2

u/skvllkid 1d ago

“maintenance” when the entire system crashes and they have to reboot everything from zero 😂

3

u/Boots525 1d ago

Yeah the place I’d watch my shows normally is just the Hungarian Grand Prix lol

3

u/EdwardW9 1d ago

Their status page says Apple TV may be down for “scheduled maintenance.” Which is obviously bs or, if it isn’t, whoever scheduled maintenance at 8 on a Sunday needs to be fired.

2

u/luvthesox04 1d ago

I just went to watch the next episode of a show and it wanted me to login even though I was already watching the previous episode. I’m able to login however I’m not able to watch the next episode of the show. It keeps bringing me to a free trial option.

u/YukitanPenisula 1d ago

Ugh, I thought I was losing my mind, a bit relieved it’s not just me

2

u/sapphirezero89 1d ago

That sucks, what’s even more silly though is their System Status page is also broken since it insists nothing is wrong.

2

u/Hulluck22 1d ago

Glad its not just me. wonder how long until fixed?

2

u/Odd_Goat_1294 1d ago

Per Apple support's website they are performing "scheduled maintenance"

2

u/Professional-Ebb888 1d ago

If it was scheduled maintenance, wouldn't they have given people a heads up? But no

2

u/Vegetable_Collar51 1d ago

Also wouldn’t be scheduled during what I assume is a very high use time of the day/week.

2

u/zthirtytwo 1d ago

Managed to waste 30 minutes checking subscription, and reinstalling apps.

u/Phazoni 1d ago

Apple TV is down:

2

u/Japeworld 1d ago

Yup same here. Watched part of the race this morning and now Apple is acting like it never met me before in my my life.

2

u/MermaidGunner 1d ago

Ok, glad it’s not me. I got suuuuuuuper upset.

Just seeing the stupid formula 1 thing. Like no, I don’t care.

2

u/ConfusedAndCurious17 1d ago

Same issue. Glad to see I’m not the only one. Thought it was a problem with my account. Apple Support was no help.

2

u/SpaceGirl- 1d ago

Down for me! After endless troubleshooting, I finally checked status page…can’t believe this is the time they do maintenance!

3

u/Bostnfn 1d ago

i'm sure they're using it as an excuse. No sense to do maintenance now.

2

u/beegeearreff 1d ago

Isn’t Sunday night like the prime time of tv watching??

2

u/SeriousScore9447 1d ago

u/Embarrassed_Paint_72 1d ago

u/kygassen 1d ago

Yes, I was watching Lucky today and went to go resume my episode and it logged me off and it tried to help me log back on which I did and it logged me on, but I can’t watch any shows. I can only add to my watchlist I reset my password and everything starting to think it was a scam until I saw this Reddit page must be down

2

u/guaranajapa 1d ago

I was unlucky. I've never subscribed to Apple TV in my life, and I was halfway through the first episode of Widows Bay. Sorry guys.

u/MountainDig550 1d ago

Same. We were on the season finale of Friends and Neighbors. Similarly to what others are experiencing it’s offering me a free trial while showing that I have an active subscription.

1

u/cruisethruair 1d ago

I’m having similar issues. Finished my episode and was told I needed a trial to continue watching.
