HT2731 is iTunes Store account really required for downloading and installing free Apps?

Yes. The apps you buy are registered in your account, so you can download them in all your devices

I only upgraded to Lion because of iCloud. I have an AppleTV, an iPhone 4S and my MacBook Pro so it just made sense. But now, I was in the process of downloading a season of a TV show that I purchased earlier today and it still had about 15 episodes left to go and it now says "iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable, iTunes is unable to check for downloads" Any help would be appreciated!

maybe they are doing maintenance? I would wait awhile and check back later. -
Check for Downloads on iTunes??
When I try to check for downloads on iTunes, it gives me a message that says, "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." I've emailed an Apple support person who checked with iTunes and determined that the problem is linked to my computer specifically, not with iTunes. Is there a setting that I need to change or something? Thanks!
If you used the 'check for available downloads' menu option then did you have automatic downloads turned 'on' for music (which will only show if you are in a country where music can be redownloaded) on your Mac when you bought the song ? If you did then the check should have downloaded it.
If you are in a country where you can redownload music then it should show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading, if you aren't then you will need to connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases -
I purchased a song but when downloading it says it is corrupted. So I go to store and check for downloads and it does the same thing
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not downloading properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.) -
I have created an apple id on my pc but when i'm trying to download free apps from itunes store it's asking for credit card information which i don't have, that's why i went through apple support there i found "if you don't have credit card then click on none option but the problem is there isn't any none option so plzzzz some help me?
If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

Apple TV - i'd like to watch what i paused. The system says i have to go to itunes and 'check for downloads.' The wheel keeps spinning..... the system won't let me rent again.
Question is a bit unclear. Once you start a rental, you have 24 hours to complete it. I pause mine all the time. When I hit play again, I get a choice to either resume where I left off or start all over. I believe it is necessary to have an internet connection while view ATV content, so if you lost the connection, that might make it "spin".
Re your tag line "Can I view my ATV thru my iPad?" If you have a wifi connection, you can view almost anything with AirPlay. Or you can view anything from the various ATV selections without having your iPad on. Of course, you have to pay for some options like HBO, Netflix, etc. -
what do i do when a audio book i purchased is not in purchased menu for re downloading for my account, or why cant i re download the book from iTunes store with out paying for it after support they told me i could.
i tried to re download a purchased audio book after i contacted apple support team for iTunes they said it would be ready for re download or they said id have to re download it from iTunes store i cant remember, so i tried both couldn't re download it from purchased menu and the book id have to re download from iTunes store costs money as if i have never purchased what do i do? I don't have any warranty any more or money to purchase another warranty.Babowa
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have bought 1 MacbookPor 17, 1 Macbook air, 1 MacbookPro 15 , 2 ipads, 3 iphones, and this iMac27 and 2 of iMAC24 or 20 not sure but I do not recall ever doing what you are telling me in your reply. When you get a extended car warranty, you don't sign up for it.. it is just there and is included in the sale. You don't buy this warranty to use it.. You buy it, in case something happens. Here a perfect iMAC with minimum 100 hour useage has a dead drive. That is not normal and I should not have to even be requesting anything since most MFG offer a 3-5 year warranty on their disc drives and I believe that is probably passed on to Apple regardless if an extended warranty is purchased or not. Customer service dictates a more flexible approach to make sure the lifetime value of a customer is not lost due to some misunderstanding.
I was in the MacStore that I purchased the unit..and they found and pulled the invoice and confirmed
the purchase of it in front of me. I had paid with credit card and fortunately it was there in their system. I do not also recall recieving any box or paper although most everything I ever get remains sealed.. I am not in the habit of opening anything since I have never encountered any serious issues before.
I have used my Macbookpro warranty 1 time and that is all throughout the years I have been investing in Apple equipment.
I just recieved a letter from the store asking me to get the paper to them so they can register it... I don't recall getting any paper actually. But I do have several boxes sealed here.. On this iMAC27, it was a hurry up and get it done thing and I don't remember taking anything extra with it. Regardless, my request does not seem unreasonable.
Thank you -
I contacyed Apple, since I lost my library. I ever backed any of it up, my bad. Apple kindly let me redownload all of my purchases. However when I click on check for downloads, I get this error everytime:
iTunes store is temporarly unavailable. Please try again later.
I keep trying at different times, but to no avail. What could be wrong? I know my internet connection is fine. I also have a Mac.Try the steps here:

Purchased Several Songs ~ But iTunes Store "Unavailable"
Used iTunes yesterday evening (the 11th) to purchase several tracks by Marianne Faithful.
iTunes accepted the order (Said Starting Downloading etc.) then popped up a notice (But not an 'Error' warning) stating iTunes Store Unavailable - try later.
I did the 'Check For Purchases' routine, but it said "Checking for purchases", but then popped up a message stating iTunes Unable To Check for purchases"
I received an email about half an hour later informing me that I had purchased these titles and charged me.
I even tried getting the 'free single of the week' but same thing happens, accepts order, fails to download, pops up same messages as above, and also sends me an email saying I have purchased it.
If I use the 'View My Account' feature in itunes, it does indeed show these purchases, but i cannot get them!
I can download free tracks from the iTunes universities section ( some interesting Japanese culture related at MIT) with no trouble at all.
Anybody got any suggestions, or have they found iTunes Store unavailable to day September 11th /12th
I am using the UK store by the way.
ThanksIts is now over 24 hours now, and still the same problem. I have made sure that I have checked all the settings are correct as mentioned in the iTunes store help pages relating to the problem of being unable to download purchased items, including my Keychain, and Permissions for the iTunes folder etc. etc, and still no joy. This problem has only occurred since iTunes was upgraded on the 9th September to version 7.4.1 (2)
What really rubs salt in to the wound is the fact that I have received emails from iTunes confirming the purchase of these tracks, and the amount I have been charged, and also I can access all of my account details in iTunes showing the purchases. So if I can access this information, why cannot ITunes check and download my purchases?
I am becoming very fed up with Apple lately, this is just another example of their becoming so big, they cannot deal with problems, everything is now devoted to the new wonder toy the iPhone, whereas the poor suckers like me, who have been faithful for years buying their computers, are now put on the back burner, if you dont believe me, look at the name change from Apple Computers to Apple Inc.
For example, not one of my apple purchases has been recognised for the so called 'Complete my Album' or the 'iTunes Plus' even though they both qualify according to the terms and conditions. . When I asked apple about this, they said they wanted proof of receipts for all purchases including dates. ~ Yet they have it all in my account records.
Dont get me wrong I love Apple computers and other hardware, the iPods have been brilliant for me, but their support is now quite poor, and they are uninterested in the user's experience of support, which is not how it used to be.
Steve Jobs bounds on to the stage at each of the shows launches full of praise for his own new products, but he never says that they are investing in better support teams,
I hate to say it, but I am becoming very disillusioned with Apple. -
"sign-in required, click continue and sign in to check for downloads".
On trying to access the ITunes store or ITunes in general, I keep getting a pop-up window stating "sign-in required, click continue and sign in to check for downloads". Itunes then doesn't recognise the sign in attempt and the pop-up appears again. Has anyone seen this and have any thoughts or advice?

I have just rented a film and clicked the menu button instead of pause. When I go back to the film to rent again it says I have already rented this go to settings and check for downloads. But there is no download option in settings?
It does... Apple TV has a problem with the assignment to the itunes account after updating. Restore to factory settings or unlog and news login to the itunes store helps to see the rented/downloaded film(s).

I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it download in settings.
I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.
