ITunes store access and downloading (including podcasts) is SLOW :(

This has been going on for a week now and it's getting quite frustrating. On my laptop, iTunes has all of a sudden decided that downloads are going to be super slow, to the point where most files are not downloaded and I get a -3259 error of some sort. I am running iTunes 7.5 and Windows XP. I had been using 7.5 for a while until this problem started. My desktop computer is also running XP and 7.5 and I have no problems downloading through iTunes at the usual speed.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no success. I even installed a new copy of Itunes and moved the iTunes pref file and the library and xml files and iTunes downloads were still slow. I have not installed or uninstalled any programs recently.
The podcasts downloads are quick, but only if I download them directly from the site hosting the file. If I use iTunes, the downloads are painfully slow and most of the time do not finish!
I have even attempted to plug in the DSL line into my laptop directly and iTunes was still slow with downloads. Also, it takes a couple of minutes to access the homepage of the iTunes store.
I really don't know if there is anything else I can do? This is really annoying since I had to use my other computer to download a TV show and then transfer it to my laptop with a thumb drive. Any ideas, anyone?

I was never able to figure out the cause of my problem, but I was able to resolve it somewhat. I created another user account and iTunes was back to normal. I then just moved my iTunes library file to the new user account (and I spent a few hours getting all the other stuff changed - such as email in Outlook, etc).
So I'm back to normal, so if anyone else has this problem, try a different user account on the same computer.

I upgraded MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) to yosemite. I have no more access to Finder, App Store and some apps. Since I have no access to App Store I cannot download the missing parts. How can I get access to App Store?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
What do you mean by having no access to those apps? Can you start up your Mac and work with it, and only some OS X apps do not work?
Anyway, what you can try is to reinstall OS X. To do this, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up and reinstall OS X. You will not lose any file.

Why am I not able to access the app store, itunes and safari since upgrading to Mavericks 10.9?

IT tells me they would have to revert to the old OS which they don't want to do or can't do? I have been two months without access. I am at a loss. any help or guidance would be appreciated. I work for state government and our servers are PC-based which I think where the problem is. Is there a work around to gain access to the app store, itunes and safari. The app store icon indicates I have updates available but I am stuck. Please advise.

I know safari is mac's native browser. Since updating to OSX10.9, I have not been able to open safari. Firefox works fine but I preferred safari. Safari just won't open, it acts like it wants to, but the progress bar goes about half way across and stops. What other information do I need to supply?
This is a very frustrating problem when I see that there are updates to apply, but am unable to open the app store to get them. I can't even see them.
IT, in my opinion, has almost thrown in the towel since they are more PC-based.I believe it is a connection problem but they have been unable to fix it. They blame mac for a hasty upgrade release that was not fully tested to see if there were any Mac/PC connection issues.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Unable to update to Mavericks, app store shows error downloading, and check purchased items, but I still can't download it.

HT202879 I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?

I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

An app I purchased and downloaded directly to my Ipad is missing and not in my app files on my PC. When I go to the app store to re-download it I can not the says I have already downloaded it. How do I get my app back?

You should be able to copy it from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases, or you should be able to re-download it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes Store home page - if that says that it's already downloaded, then that implies that it's already on your computer

HT1338 I have clicked in the App Store icon and when I have attempted to download there is an error message. Saying I need to connect to the UK store, not the US store, how do I do this?

I just got a new imac, App store says I downloaded garageband update and it says it's installed. But there's nothing new to it. Is there something I'm suppose to do? I restarted the imac, no difference

Weird, that's not the one I was initially downloading but I think that is the one that installed, so I think that solves that. But now the problem is that the one I was updating is no longer being shown. It's over 1gb that had all the loops and instruments.
Now when I try to use say strings lunar strings. It tells me to download at app store. It doesn't show. I go back to garageband try again and says the instrument or loop is currently being installed. But it's not.

I did download Lion and everything is fine, but why in app store still stated DOWNLOAD and not INSTALLED, I already did 3 times and it still in DOWNLOAD label

My guess is they changed that to Download for all the people who wanted to or needed to download it again. It's kind of a subset of Installed, now. I don't think it is a great solution, but that is what it is.

48 Hours ago I started to upgrade to Mtn Lion on a now 10 day old IMac - 30 minutes ago I got the email with the content code and redeem code for the download from the app store - it said download was happening, but nothing happened for 30 min - FIX IT!

This is a User's Forum, yelling at us won't help. You have 90 days of customer support via telephone. Use them as they can interact with their system and hopefully get you back on track. Otherwise take it to them at the Genius Bar and have them make it good.

I purchased an app when I had my iPhone 4s and when I went to the app store to re download the app, I was charged for it again?

IPhone and iPad have different formats. You would have to purchase the iPad version. This isn't true of all apps, some work on both iPad and iPod/iPhone (like most games).

My daughters Ipod Touch is stuck with a black/blue screen. She downloaded the game Breakaway from the App store yesterday and today she opened the game it said this game is not connected to game centers and the screen went black/blue reset didn't work

She downloaded the game Breakaway from the App store yesterday and today when she opened the game it said "this game is not connected to game centers" and the screen went black/blue. I tried resetting without the power adapter and with the power adapter and nothing happens. She has only had the Itouch for 2 weeks.

I did try that numerous times and nothing happened. However, I did eventually get it to work. After trying to reset it numerous times and the screen still just staying frozen I logged into the Home Share portion on the Home computer and deleted the Bubble Birds game. Eventually the Itouch died and I was finally able to reset it by plugging it in and holding down the buttons. I doubt the deletion of the game helped, but since it seemed to be the cause, I went ahead and deleted it. Thank you for your reply.
