UPDATE Tuesday, July 21, 1:56 a.m. ET: Apple Music, the App Store, Radio and other Apple services came back on at about 1:15 p.m. ET. The outage lasted nearly four hours. Apple has yet to respond to Mashable request for comment.
If you can't access your Apple Music tracks or download an app via the App Store right now, you're not alone.
Apple Music, the company's expansive new music streaming service, was down for some users as of Tuesday morning. A number of other Apple online services were down as well, including the App Store, Apple Radio, the iBooks Store and the iTunes Store.
Apple's system status checker confirms that many of its services are having issues, which were first reported around 9:30 a.m. ET.
"We are investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available," Apple said on its system status checker webpage.
People quickly brought the issue to Twitter, of course.

Apple systems go down on occasion, but they usually don't last long. However, those outages are usually limited to one or two features. This outage also reinforces what has become a common refrain -- that Apple’s cloud services are its weak point.
