I can no longer download store items

I havn't been able to download updates/purchases or anything else all weekend.  Is anyone else experiencing problems, recent problems?  I've even tried d/l'ing previous purchases from the "cloud" but can't do that either, on ANY of my devices, from my 27' iMac down to my Apple TV.  Little frustrating.

I've managed to stumble onto a fix on this and wanted to share it in case someone else could benefit from it. Ok, for some reason, itunes absolutely HAS to have access to cookies. If you have them disabled anywhere/in any way, this seems to affect everything accross ALL platforms.  I literally could not get updates or d/l apps on any of my 5 Apple devices.
The reason I said disabled anywhere/in ANY way is because although I had cookies enabled on all of my Apple devices, my router somehow (it was probably me that did it, or it's default settings) enabled a setting to "Filter Cookies" and that threw everything off on all my devices that I use at home. 
I hope this helps someone else with their possible frustration of experiencing the same problem.  I was sure frustrated.

    I can no longer download music from itunes store.  It happened when I was trying to download songs dragged into a playlist.  I tried to download more than one at a time.  It stopped.  Now I cant download at all.  Even rebooted my machine. 

    OK thanks I will try that. I just don't understand why I still can't download new videos as I've deleted the software I installed and I've changed my camera settings back to what they were before when I could download into iPhoto. I perhaps should have mentioned it's iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    It could be as simple as longer (larger) videos - iPhoto does not always handle larger video files well
    Is there any way of putting iPhoto back as the "default download and view" programme?
    iPhoto is not a download and view program - it is a photo management database program that imports photos - Image Capture is a download program - Preview is a view program
    The default program to download your photos is set in the preference panel of either iPhoto or image capture

  • Can no longer download apps, constantly get "cannot connect to iTunes Store"

    Can no longer download apps, constantly get "cannot connect to iTunes Store"
    Can connect to iTunes, Safari, Google et etc. No issue with our wifi/network, we also have another iPad which fas no problem downloading apps.

    Try syncing your iPad with your computer, that way it can update its version of iTunes.

  • I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

    iMac 21" Intel
    year 2013
    OSX10.10.1
    I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
    I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
    I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
    The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
    I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
    I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
    I am utterly disappointed.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks.

    Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

    Hi, sallymaesmag. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device.  These steps will show you how to change the preference.
    Change your iTunes Store country
    Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
    Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

  • I can no longer download anything

    For some reason, I can no longer download anything on itunes on my computer.
    When I try, I get the following error as a sample...
    There were problems downloading some purchased items.
    For more information on the items that could not be downloaded, click below.
    There was a problem downloading “Fun Run, Pts. 1 & 2 / The Office, Season 4 / The Office”. You >do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again.
    I do have a network connection, and can get logged into the itunes store. I have spent the past 45 minutes on the phone with Apple who had me check all of my permissions, and I have uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, but still the same thing.
    Anyone have any ideas on this?

    I have the same problem with my 1st gen Touch.  It started a few days ago when I and many other 1st gen users noticed that we could no longer download podcasts directly to our iPods, and after a day or two that seemed to be fixed, but now the app store is broken for us.  For me when I try to download an app I press the button and then the graphics for the button get all jumbled.  I can see it's there but the edges and letters are all mixed up and wierd looking.  It turns green like the download button, and when I push that it turns blue and then just sits there doing nothing.  I know this isn't a problem with updating my software because anyone who knows anything about earlier models knows that they stopped updating the iOS for them a long long time ago.  This is definitely a problem on Apples end where they've made some kind of changes to the app store that break it on earlier iPods (I saw another post from a 2nd gen user who is having the same problem).  I hope Apple fixes this soon.

  • My iPod Touch can no longer download Podcast Videos after upgrading to iOS4

    After upgrading OS 3.1.3 to iOS4, My iPod Touch (2nd Generation) can no longer download such video podcasts as NBC News, CBS News, ABC News and Cranky Geeks from iTunes store. The moment the download starts, there is always an annoying prompt "this video cannot be played on this iPod".
    It's really frustrating!!!

    Same thing happening to mine also, still cant find a reason.

  • I can no longer download apps that I buy.  They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone.  Yes, I DO know how to do it.  They no longer will go onto my phone.

    Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
    If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
    You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
    Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck.

  • HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

    I have tried downloading the podcasts on computers that run Windows 7 and Windows 8.  Other podcasts, music etc. download fine.

    I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling iTunes and I have tried unsubscribing and resubscribing to the podcasts.
    I don't have trouble getting NPR podcasts from the store. I just can't play them in iTunes.

    For additional context and to verify if we are talking about the same behavior.  Here is what the download screen looks like on my iPod:

  • Can no longer download itunes music. Says all content will be lost. No longer on original computer. Is there any way I can download from itunes without losing content.

    I can no longer download from itunes on ipod. It is not original computer and new computer message from itunes is I will lose all content on ipod if I continue to download. Is there anyway around this? Also have not updated ipod, is that important.

    You can transfer you iTunes purchases to your new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. You can manage music amond different computers by:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you wnat to make the new computer your syncing computer you must restore the iPod. 
    - See if you can make a backup of the iPod on the new computer by right clicking on the iPod in iTunes and select backup.  If successsful, restore the iPod from that backup after tansfering your iTunes purchases to the new computer.
    - If you can't make a backup copy/move the backup file from the old computer, That file is located:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You may have to turn off hide hidden files.
    If you do not have the backup file you have to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync your stuff to the iPod.  You will loss all your app data.

  • Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone...

    Could someone please advise on my current problem? Apparantly I can no longer download tones to my phone or account to be used as such since the tones are being downloaded as songs that cannot be transferred or placed in the tones area for the phone or in iTunes. Prior to the last update, this was always an option. I have also noticed that the Ringtones and Alert Tones are not showing up in my recent purchases as well to allow for me to place them back on my phone and there for require for them to be purchased again... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I've discovered that all tones purchased will be downloaded as ringtones, BUT they can be utilized as tones and assigned as alert tones on the iPhone...
