This time of year we’re sure to get some glitches and niggles with the iTunes store, there’s probably lots of people buying iPod Touch’s and also iPhone’s and switching them on before Christmas, but it will probably start to get worse the closer we get to Christmas.
Here’s just a few errors I’ve seen lately when the store starts to creak or vent steam under load.
The iTunes store is a great place, but it does take a real knocking and a beating when it comes to people connecting and downloading. Many times I’ve connected recently to find the images for apps to not load fully, or even the screenshots within the app description not loading.
It’s probably unfair to blame the iTunes store on it’s own, I’ve also seen failures with other in-app iPhone services, so it’s not just Apple that are taking a hit, App Developers servers are too and also network providers like O2, AT&T etc.
There’s also the dreaded “something went wrong, just download it on your desktop computer” message that Apple enforce on you from time to time.
I guess it’s to be expected with the popularity of the iPhone and iPod Touch’s. Be prepared for a few glitches over the Christmas period with tons more iPhone’s and iPod Touch’s making it into the Santa sleigh this Christmas!
