OSX Update Servers
 

OK, so... I've just updated my Mac OSX to Snow Leopard, but before I did that I couldn't run any OSX Updates as I keep getting "Could not contact update server" and asking me to check my internet connection (which is obviously fine as I'm posting this).

I updated to Snow Leopard, thinking that may help the updates, and...nothing.

Question is... is anyone else having issues with OSX Updates?

Me too - so it looks like they really are down. Gotta love the way Software Update assumes there has to be a problem with your own connection though ... as if Apple's servers couldn't possibly go down, not ever. :D

As it happens, both of my .Mac email accounts and my iDisk are also offline. Looks like they're having the afternoon from hell over at Cupertino.

It's this US connection problem thingy, Software Update isn't working on my laptop either, same error I think. Thought Windows Firewall wasn't allowing it at first.

Apparently it's a routing issue. If you are routed via Manchester or Birmingham this could be the cause.

Apple Software Update back online :)
