"Your request is temporarily unable to be processed" during account review

I made a new account on my iPad and tried to get into theapp store and was sent to review my info. I did so and kept getting errors saying that iTunes was temporarily unavailable, etc.
I then tried to go through this process in iTunes on my computer and it gives me the error in the subject.
Why is this? I even tried creating a new ID and going through the same process but get the SAME errors (that time I went purely through the Apple site and iTunes).
A common issue? I sent an e-mail to iTunes support just in case, but it seems like this process should be much easier than it actually is.

I contacted iTunes support and as soon as they replied to me it started working. So I guess just contact support, wait for them to reply, then try again (without actually doing anything different).
This worked for me for some strange reason, but I won't complain about something finally working.

  • HT2731 your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later

    Let's see if anyone has any ideas here. When I went to create an account on iTunes, I can get all the way to the credit card screen and then when we click "done" and pop up window comes up and says "your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later". This message comes up last 2 days.
    Thanks for any help!

    The same thing has been happening to me on my iPad and my MacBook Pro - I try to purchase and get an error on my MacBook (Error 5002) while on the iPad, I get the recurring request to "confirm" My purchase that never completes. This is making me crazy!

  • "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed.  Please try again later" iTunes Store

    I have a user with a new iPad2, who has set up an iTunes account.  It takes her username and password, which it recognizes (it fails if she fat-fingers it).  Then it says that it is a new account, and offers her the terms and conditions which she agrees to, and then it takes her to the screen asking for her personal info and credit card info, which she fills in.  Then it pops up a message from the iTunes Store that says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed.  Please try again later." 
    She has tried this multiple times over the past week, same error each time.  This morning, just to vary things a bit, we tried logging in to her account in iTunes on her iMac.  (If nothing else, a real keyboard and mouse is less painful...)  Exactly the same behavior -- it clearly knows who she is, bringing up address information, etc. when she puts in the right username and password.  But it will not complete the signup with the iTunes store, so she cannot get applications (even free ones) downloaded on to the iPad.
    If I sign in with my appleID and password (set up years ago, and with iTunes gift card credit on it) it simply takes it and works -- but not on her credentials.

    Found this discussion:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3603097?start=0&tstart=0 which was really helpful.  The problem is that we were trying to change this person's credit card associated with the AppleID from her personal card to her company credit card.  Going to http://store.apple.com/us/account/home and trying to Edit the credit card information at least got us to a more useful error message -- it complained about the credit card billing address.
    So we went to Plan B, and created a new appleID for her, following these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 to get her an appleID without a credit card.  It then happily completed the registration process, and now she can download free apps.
    When she needs to buy an app, I'll probably be back.  (Sheesh, apple, this should NOT be this hard to give you money!!!)

  • "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed" message on iTunes

    Let's see if anyone has any ideas here. We got my mom an iPhone a few days ago. When we went to create her an account on iTunes, we can get all the way to the credit card screen and then when we click "done" and pop up window comes up and says "your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later". This same message comes up when we tried it on 3 different macs and also her iPhone. It has happened for three days.
    Thanks for any help!

  • App Store - Your request is temporarily unable to be processed

    Hey,
    when trying to install two apps I got to the point where APP store says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed." The previous message before that is to accept the new terms and conditions. I say yes and then this is what happens. Tried logging out and in - not working.
    Any tips?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List

  • Itunes "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed."

    I'm trying to set up my apple ID. I made it setting up Imessage but now I'm trying to set up my Itunes account. I answer all the questions and put in the required information and when i hit submit it says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Try again later." I keep quitting the program and trying again and again, but nothing's working! Please help!

    I have had the same problem for over a month with my son's new apple id.  I finally stumbled onto something that worked and allowed us to use his ID in the iTunes store.  Here's what I did:
    1)  In your browser, go to https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage
    2)  Select the Password and Security tab
    3)  Under the Security Questions, there was a red exclamation point and the red text " For your security, please provide a longer answer."
    4)  I changed the security question, typed in a new answer, and hit Save.  The red exclamation and red text went away.
    5)  After that, I was able to proceed normally and use the account in iTunes.  FINALLY!!
    I guess Apple didn't like the answer to the security question, and that was what kept tripping it up.  Maybe something similar is going on with your account.  Hope this solution works for someone else.

  • TS3694 your request is temporarily unable to be processed

    I try to redeem some gift apps code, but always receive thí pop-up message "your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later".

    I'm getting the same message (repeatedly) when trying to enter billing/credit card info and redeem an iTunes gift card either in iTunes on my PC or via my iPod touch (new with IOS5 software). Finally managed to input the information by going online and doing it through the web. Try going to http://store.apple.com/us/account/home and clicking on "change your default shipping or billing info" under Account Settings.

    Hi there !
    The process of AquaDan88 had worked for me (one million thx to him/her for the tips !). Now, I've to say something (maybe usefull for you kevinfromnorman). It is very important that you create a new account (not necessarily in USA. In my case, I'm in Switzerland and I've created a new account (without credit card into the app store in my country). The important thing is how to create this account:
    You absolutely MUST follow this Apple process to create your new account (without credit card) since the point 2) of AquaDan88 procedure. Follow carefully what Apple wrote on the page I've put the link here under
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534?viewlocale=en_US
    Doing this will for sure resolve your problem (as he resolve mine right now).
    A last information. For those that already have an second account created, don't try to use your second account in place of create a new one. It is really important to CREATE a new account and not use one already created one ! I've tried with an already existing account yesterday evening and it won't make the deal.
    By the way, I'm amazed by the answer you received from the iTunes support kevinfromnorman !!! As soon as you've recover your Genius, answer back to their email with the right solution ! ;-)

    Try turning off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
    Disable anti virus software if you have that installed before downloading media from the App Store.
    When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed. Thanks !
