It looks like we are facing once again a major Gmail and Google Apps outage. During the last 6 hours all of my domains went down and now even my regular Gmail account is down. Anyone else experiencing "Bad Request Error 400"?
There is nothing at http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en.

No everything is working fine here.

In trying to download the google video-- I get a 1603 error and could not install. Should I have my webcam connected to install?

It is a Chrome issue. Are you using the dev Channel Version ? I have the same Problem there.

Yeah, I noticed that few minutes ago. Clearing cookies did it.

There was no anything mentioned at
http://mail.google.com/support/?hl=en

I haven't been able to access Gcal for over a day now.

Something is going on with Gmail and Google Apps Mail... It was glitchy and disconnecting me at the end of the day yesterday, and it's doing this same thing again all morning...

And now this message just appeared in red at the top of my inbox:

<< Gmail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists. Learn more http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&ctx=mail&answer=106432 >>

Yes I just got that message to!

And now there's a service disruption listed at the Google Apps Status Dashboard: http://www.google.com/appsstatus#hl=en

You can access Gmail via IMAP >>

I've searched for this error message and I found only results from last month, so I thought I was alone... and now Google Apps Status has been updated. God bless app status.

I think this is a different problem than I had yesterday, which were some authentication errors when using chrome from the dev channel 4.0.211.7 (corrupted cookies?).
It seems to me, that now the contacts and talk are down. My jabber client reports "Error code from server: 500 Internal Server Error" and "Error code from server: 501 Not Implemented".

Yes I was getting that same error the other day, and I got it once today too...

And about 10 minutes ago I tried logging in to my Gmail account with another browser and I got this...

Well, I'm now seeing the following message when logged into Gmail.

Gmail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists.

But everything else works.

Google Apps Status Dashboard Update: google.com/appsstatus#hl=en

<< Google Mail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users within the next 1 hours. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change.
The Gmail issue should now be resolved for most of our users. There still might be issues with your contacts. For Gmail users: Use www.google.com/contacts to access your contacts For Google Apps Customers: www.google.com/contacts/a/yourdomain-name.com >>

My contacts in Gmail are working again just now!

Another Google Apps Status Dashboard Update, although Contacts is working fine for me now...

<< We are continuing to investigate this issue. We will provide an update by September 24, 2009 12:30:00 PM UTC-5 detailing when we expect to resolve the problem.
The Gmail issue should now be resolved for many of our users. Contacts and chat are still not working. For Gmail users, you can use www.google.com/contacts to access your contacts. Google Apps customers can use www.google.com/contacts/a/yourdomain-name.com >>

I've never been logged out my Gmail account while I'm using it since I've leave my message bellow.
So did Gmail really crashed, as CNN writes? http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/24/gmail.crash/

Gmail has been funny all week. It started with the Gmail logo appearing instead of the Google Mail logo. When I send an email to myself, it was sending it twice, and currently if I send an email to anyone, it shows up in my inbox as unread – despite me not being the recipient.

Here are several comments merged from other threads:

As with all other features that one has come to rely on, I have quickly realized that I am useless without my Contacts. For a couple of hours I have been getting this alert at the top of my Apps mail page:

Stilmark Mail is temporarily unable to access your Contacts. You may experience issues while this persists. Learn more.

Anyone else with a similar problem?

Auto-complete, I miss you so much.

[Moved from "Why Gmail was Gfail on Sept 24, 2009" – Tony]

Here is the official explaination on why Gmail crashed (again) this month. It was partially because of the same problem: an update of Gmail.
