ITunes Music Store Access

Is anyone using ARD to push prefs to control access to ITMS?
Do you have any advice to share?
Thanks,
b.

Hi Dave,
Thanks again for the info. I just came to implement it.
I should have mentioned... I'm in a shared-desktop environment, using WorkGroup Manager to control access and settings.
On my admin machine I set and locked itms access. I added ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes and /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure to WGM.
This has pevented the users from accessing iTunes music store, but they can change the iTunes preferences to allow access. I guess it's because of the user ID in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure.
So, do you know how I can get the correct user value in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes.secure for each user? is there an 'everybody' value I can use? And am I right to think I do need to push this file out with ARD, rather than adding it to WGM?
Many thanks,
b.

  • After downloading iTunes 7.4.1 - Can not access iTunes Music Store

    After downloading iTunes 7.4.1, I am unable to access the iTunes Music Store. When I try to open the store, an error message appears saying _*iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error has occured (-3212) Make sure your connection is active and try again.*_
    Please help, if you know of anything I might be able to do, please let me know! =)

    did you ever get help? I have been working with the Itunes store for nearly two weeks and haven't gotten my movies yet...

  • Listening to purchaces music without access to iTunes Music store

    I put all my purchased music on a USB memory stick and added it to my
    iTunes library at work. When I went to play them, I got a popup that
    my iTunes couldn't access the iTunes Music Store. Bummer. My work has
    me locked out (no access to the music store from work). I'm I just SOL?
    I used to have access but lately the company has added more "security".
    Is there anyway around this? Can I get access and type something in to
    iTunes? I have authorized 3 computers (2 Macs and a PC) at home, but I
    still have 2 left, and would like to be able to use my PC at work.
    Home there is a work-around.
    Thanks.

    They are all like that. Your iPhone is behaving normally.
    Is your coworkers iPod Touch syncing music with his work computer? If so, the music will not be greyed out and will work as you are seeing. The iPhone and Touch will have the songs playable only with the library with which they sync.

  • Want to access iTunes music store but not in a 'valid' country

    Hi, I'd really appreciate any help anyone can offer. I want to be able to buy music and videos for my new iPod and I have registered online. When I go to buy something with my credit card from the iTunes store, apparently you have to have an address for your credit card and a list of country's excluding Australia comes up. The problem is there is only about a dozen countries on the list and mine is not one of them so I can't pay by credit card. What can I do???

    I really wish I was informed when I bought my ipod, that Itunes music store is not available in NZ and we don’t know when or IF it is going to be. Am feeling totally ripped off as one of the reasons I bought my ipod on Sunday was so I could download Audio books off itunes for when I am travelling. Now I go online and find out that I cant even download a measly single let alone a audio book.
    Was feeling so excited about having my ipod and now just feel ripped off and extremely disappointed with Apple and the Apple salespeople. You are told how great itunes is and how you can download video, songs, books etc (when you are buying your Ipod) then once you have paid you $579+ (just for the ipod, let alone another $300 on accessories and warranty) you find out you can't download anything from itunes. Am pretty disgusted really! I researched my purchase, was going to go for a CREATIVE merely so could access NZ download sites, but was talked out of it by the sales person who showed me itunes and how great it is and I do think the IPOD itself is fantastic but wish I had of bought that CREATIVE so at least then I could have downloaded songs; books etc immediately. Bad Form from Apple, particularly given the amount of money I just spent :(((

  • ITunes 9.0.2 Crashes Trying to Access iTunes Music Store on Startup

    HI, everyone,
    I installed iTunes 9.0.2 today in preparation for an iPhone software upgrade, but iTunes freezes 100% of the time just after it starts up and tries to access the iTunes Music Store. There's a bit of activity in the progress bar when iTunes first starts, and then the progress bar for accessing the store shows half way finished and the program crashes (every time).
    I've reinstalled, rebooted, removed and replaced the preference files and my library, all to no avail.
    I'm running WinXP Pro SP 3, patches all up to date, but now I can't access my library on my computer nor can I upgrade my iPhone.
    Others of you have had similar problems; one of you reported a "parental control" issue with CA security suite. I have Trend Micro and can't find any parental controls to deal with.
    I have IE 8 installed but use Firefox 3.0.15.
    This has been a horrible day. I have many papers to grade for my college classes and expected the installation to go smoothly (as the ones in the past have; iTunes 8 worked great).
    Please help!

    Hi, b noir,
    No, I'm afraid I don't have Nod32 installed. I wish I did--maybe a simple fix!
    I'm working from home using the laptop the school supplied me. It's a domain machine, and Trend Micro's OfficeScan is installed but it's offline (though it seems to be working). The Windows firewall is disabled, probably because of the school's antivirus installation, so there doesn't seem to be a setting I can access.
    I'd guess something on my machine is forcing iTunes to free as it starts to access the Music Store. My heart just sinks every time I start iTunes (dozens of times today), only to see it freeze solid every single time I open it.

  • Cannot access the iTunes music store.

    Is there a block on iTunes music store when you have a Polish address for your iTunes account? Since changing my address to a Polish one, I can no longer access the music store, only the software applications.

    I have not been able to assess Itunes for many months - or the online software update function either. I noticed an Internet Explorer logo pops up every time I launch either function (software update or Itunes music store), then it shows the bar download at 1/3rd, where it stays until I get the timed-out message.
    I went to update Explorer (in case that was the problem) and Microsoft says it stopped supporting Mac in 2005!
    Is that the problem? Is Mac still using a Microsoft browser to access their updates and store, when Microsoft doesn't even support Mac anymore? I suspect so, or else why does the Explorer logo always show up?
    I expect Apple is losing a lot of Itunes sales because of this. It appears I am not the only one having this ongoing problem.
    Will upgrading my OS help. or will I get the same Explorer logo?

  • Can't access iTunes music store anymore!!

    I recently just added Webroot Spysweeper and Norton Anti-Virus, while I made changes to the firewall on Norton and completely disabled Spysweeper, I still keep getting an error when trying to connect to the iTunes music store with my account.
    "We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. An unknown error occurred (-50).
    "There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later. "
    Then if I skip logging in and just click anything such as Music, Movies, TV Shows directly, I get this error...
    "We Could Not Complete Your iTunes Store Request. The network connection timed out.
    "Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again"
    My internet connection is fine, but I can't figure out what is happening.
    Please help!!

    I can't access "Run Diagnostics." It only shows "Run CD Diagnostics." In fact, I can't even get into the Apple Discussions Support website. I am having to use my other computer to send these posts. My other computer has not been upgraded to Internet Exporer 7.0 yet and it will bring up Itunes Music Store okay, so I can see the "Run Diagnostics" you are talking about just fine. Any other ideas?

  • Cannot access ITUNES music store

    similar problem as others: recent download of ITUNES, first no audio now no access to Music Store-- broken chain symbols after long delay. All other sites work well. Has anyone with windows XP been successful since yesterday? If so, how? And how did you get ahold of someone at Apple?

    Thought you all should see this!!!!!!

  • All of a Sudden I Cant Log Into Itunes Music Stores

    May someone give me some tips?
    Im logged onto wifi and safari/youtube apps works perfectly but when I try to use the Itunes Music Store, it tells me it cannot connect. What's wrong with it?

    I think Apple had some server problems with the iTunes store for the iPod Touch. All day I could access the store but every time I'd click (touch) for a preview, I'd get "Unable to play preview." That was with the Wi-Fi at school but the same problem with my home Wi-Fi later.
    This evening, though, everything is working fine. So well, in fact, I bought two more songs.

  • Cannot connect to iTunes music store on iPad 1

    When I try and connect to the music store on my iPad I just get a message "cannot connect to iTunes store". I can however access the apps store. I can also access the music store from my Mac. 
    I have read a lot of discussion topics on this and it seems that this is a problem experience by many others especially on iPod. However I cannot find comments specifically related to iPad 1 and none of the suggested solutions in the existing discussion threads have worked for me.
    - I have a good wifi connection (this message sent via the connection)
    - There is no antivirus software on my iPad
    - All software is up to date
    - I have tried a reset (holding down home and sleep buttons simultaneously)
    I have spent ages trying to sort this out and its driving me nuts  anybody got any thoughts?

    Carolyn
    Many thanks for your reply. However, have already seen this discussion and have tried all of the suggested fixes. As noted above my software is up to date and I have a strong wireless network (proven by internet access over the same IPad). I am at a loss to thing what else could be an issue - seems to me that there is a sofware glitch in how the iTunes music store interacts with the iPad.

  • ITunes Music Store Crashes - Doesn't finish loading - Help?

    Hi all,
    For some reason my iTunes Music Store hasn't been able to load up on my Mac Mini with Leopard. It's been months since I tried to access it because I moved (I got a new ISP), and I am just getting this computer working after months of being down. I just re[placed the PRAM battery in ordewr to get the CD Drive working. After crashing a few times and checking the boards, I have tried a few things. I upgraded iTunes & all my Apple Apps with Software Update. No Joy. I downloaded Safari and reinstalled. No luck. I downloaded iTunes and reinstalled. I ran Disk Utility to repair permissions. No luck. The Store gets about 60% of the way and then quits with the message: iTunes has unexpectedly quit.
    Details:
    Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x00000000b1ffbd84
    Crashed Thread: 0
    Don't know what else to do at this point.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks. So long for now, Tom

    Hi all,
    I tried a few things suggested here, but they didn't solve the crashing issue, so I gave up and upgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Sometimes things just go south I guess.
    so long for now, TOM

  • Disabling web browsing and Wifi Itunes music store

    We're thinking of getting a iPod touch for the kids for xmas and I'm wondering if there is a way to disable web browsing and iTunes wifi access, since I understand there are no parental controls available on the touch. Thanks

    yes there is no way to disable this icons, and the only way to do this is to put a password on your wireless router settings, this way they don't know the password and that they can not access the safari, youtube, and the wi-fi itunes music store.

  • Can not connect to the itunes music store

    yea, I can't connect to the iTunes music store. a message pops up saying, "iTunes could not connect to the music store. The network connection was refused" then it goes on to say that "Make sure your network settings or correct and your network connection is active, then try again." well this started happening on and off before 6.0.3 came out, then when I upgraded to 6.0.3 it would always do it, not letting me access the store. I have deleted iTunes and reinstalled it, reset my modem and router, restarted my computer. And the internet connection works fine, because I am typing this on the computer I am having the problem with, and I can connect to services like aim. also, i have another comuter on my network, and it connects to the music store just fine. please help, thanks!

  • Conecting to iTunes Music Store

    I am unable to purchase music from the iTunes Music Store. I am able to preview the music but when I attempt to purchase a song, I am prompted to log in. When I put in my user name and password, it appears to be logging in then gives the following error message: "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. An unknown error occurred (-9812). Make sure your network connection is active and try again.
    I have sought the support of my ISP (verizon) and they assure me that the connection is active and I have been able to access other websites. I have also contacted the manufacturer of my router (Linksys) thinking that perhaps I needed to open a port as per the suggestion on your online help files; that did not work either. I have also tried as suggested on another post to power down my PC, router and modem, wait 30 second then reconnect/restart the modem, router and then PC but that did not work either.
    Someone please help!!! I am at my wits end. I received an iPod for xmas and have not been able to download a song yet. At this point I am very tempted to return the iPod and wash my hands of everything Apple/Mac.

    Does this help?

  • Itunes music store not available in your country yet.

    I just did a clean reinstall of OS 10.3.5, and when I try to access the music store I get
    "itunes music store not available in your country yet.
    You will be able to browse and listen to previews but wont be able to purchase music. To browse music store, select a country below."
    So I select United States and nothing happens.
    I am in the US and have an itunes account.
    The itunes version is 4.2.
    Also, what is the highest itunes version I can use with 10.3.5?
    I am held down to this OS version because of some other software on my mac that won't work with anything higher than 10.3.5.
    thanks
    roger c.

    First, the iTunes Store has required iTunes 6 at minimum for quite a while now. So you're going to have to upgrade from iTunes 4.2. If you want to run iTunes 7, you'll need to get to Mac OS X 10.3.9. Otherwise you can download iTunes 6.0.5 here, but you won't be able to purchase movies or (I believe) videos unless you have iTunes 7. There's also no guarantee how long iTunes 6 will work.
    Second, you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum. Normally you'll get the quickest and most accurate responses if you post in the iTunes for Mac forum.
    Regards.
