BUY button does not work in iTunes

I can download music from iTunes store by 'gifting' pull down menu, but cannot download music by clicking on the BUY button. What is wrong ?.

Hi Digital Donkey,
Thanks for responding;  always comforting to hear others are having a similar problem.
Did your problem with the "Buy" button begin recently?
It has been about a month ago that I successfully downloaded music; but within the last week this problem with an unresponsive BUY button began, for no apparent reason.
I have an Intel 3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo, using OS 10.6.3 and iTunes 10.1.1
The strange thing about this problem is that I can download music by "Gifting" the selection(s) to myself, but the cost is charged against my iTune MasterCard number, .......even though I have a positive credit balance in my iTunes account.
If I download music selections using the same iTune account ID and PW but accessed with my iPad (ver 4.3.5), everything happens in a normal way, that is, the "BUY" button works fine and the charge is deducted from my iTunes balance.
I should mention one other thing about using my iMac:  Everytime I clicked on the defective BUY button, which seemed inoperative and music selections never downloaded, a $1.00 pending charge showed up on my MasterCard account;  this is not good, although the pending charge disappears in a couple of days because the music never downloaded.
I think my problem (and maybe yours) has something to do with the local iMac with its iTunes software, because using my iPad results in a normal operational download.  Should I upgrade to a later version of iTunes staying within the range of my OS 10.6.3  (don't want to move to Lion or Mountain Lion; I'll loose usage of my old software)
I have "Reset Warnings" in the account pane of my iTunes account;  that didn't solve a thing.
Please let me know if you have any thoughts or better luck than I.
And to "gunel" who also responded to this post, ........not sure I understand your statement "apple could not figure out".  Please try again.
Thanks,
BoBo

  • The BUY button does not work in iTunes

    iTunes will not allow me to buy music. The BUY button does not work. I can drag a song to my Purchased folder and then the BUY button comes up in my Library! And then I can buy the song. However I want to purchase whole albums, not single songs.

    It really makes it tough to troubleshoot when there is no error message. So what I'm saying is - I am sort of at a loss. Anyway, try this - close all apps on your iPad, reboot the iPad and then try again.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    It could be that your button has justy gone out.  You may try getting compressed air to blow out any dust in there.  If that doesn't work, you may have to get your button and ribbon replaced.

  • Forward button does not work

    Is anyone having trouble using the Shuffle feature In iTunes 10.4.0.80?  On my computer, the Shuffle feature does not work.  I cannot get my songs to play randomly on my computer.  Also the Fwd and Back button do not work.  iTunes only plays the current song and stops.  Fwd Button does nothing.  The Back button plays the same song.  I've trired toggling shuffle on and of and restarting iTunes and the computer.   HELP!
    Also with Shuffle OFF, I can only play one song at a time.  iTunes does not recognize any other songs besides the one that it currently is playing.

    does this happen on every pdf or just one in particular?

  • HT201401 How can i reset my iphone if the Sleep/Wake button does not work?

    My camera shuts off every time that I try to take a picture. I would like to reset my IPhone in order to try and solve the problem. My Sleep/Wake button does not work.
    How can I reset my IPhone without the Sleep/Wake Button working?
    Thanks for the help.

    When pressing the sheep/wake button, the iPhone's screen is not turned off if on and does not turn on if off, and pressing and holding the sleep/wake or on/off button does not bring up slide to power off?
    And you can't do a reset by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release?
    If so and there is no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes, make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby since more than likely there is a hardware problem.

  • Froze on black screen and power button does not work

    my sons ipod touch is stuck on a black screen when plugged into the computer got a spinning wheel and will not connect now spinning wheel will not go away the power button does not work so can not reset it manually
    any suggestions would be appreciated

    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Neglect the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode use one of thes programs
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My daughter down loaded the new 6.0 software and now her home button does not work.  Tried reloading software and reset to original factory settings.

    My daughter down loaded the new 6.0 software and now her home button does not work.  Tried reseting to original settings and reset the operating software.  Any ideas?

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
    - If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    - There are third-party places like the following that will repair the Home button. Google for more.
