Can't authorize songs, Itunes store error

This has been going on for days now. It says my computer is not authorized to play certain songs, then when it asks me to authorize them I put in my user name and password and I get error - "We could not complete your Itunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408) There was an error in the Itunes store. Please try again later."
I keep trying at different times on different days but keep getting this error. What is going on? Anyone know?

I too am having the same problem with the same error code (-42408). It happened when I upgraded my iTunes software. Some upgrade. Now it is threatening to remove 76 songs from my ipod. Someone please help.

  • Can't connect to iTunes store, error -9808

    Around two days ago, I noticed that I couldn't connect to the iTunes Store via iTunes and the problem has been persisting. A pop-up box showing the message 'Error -9808' will usually pop up. The iTunes diagnostic tool shows a red cross next to the line which says 'Secure link to Store'.
    I'm running Windows Vista on a HP G7000 laptop and I have Nod32 installed.
    I've scoured the internet for various tips on how to miraculously make it connect, but to no avail. I've deleted both of the iTunes preferences .xml files that was recommended. I've rebooted my machine countless times. I've checked Windows Firewall to see that iTunes is a listed exceptance, my router settings aren't conflicting nor is my anti virus software. I've tried the Automatic Detection of LAN settings or something in Internet Options. I've changed the security settings to SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and I've also unchecked the box that says Check for server's revocation certificate. I've flushed my DNS cache again and again.
    Nothing has worked.
    I don't know if there is problem with the Store or something wrong my end, but any help on the situation would be greatly appreciated.

    Ugg.
    Withing minutes of posting this thread I fixed the problem.

  • Upgraded to iTunes 9.0.2 -- can't download from iTunes Store (Error 1008)

    So... I wanted to download Pearl Jam's new album, "Backspacer", and due to the video content iTunes asked me to upgrade from iTunes 8. Then I got a dialog box saying that I had to upgrade Safari and Quicktime as well. So I did all that, only to find that I can't download anything on iTunes anymore. I get "Could not download (album name). Error message 1008"
    I've had one suggestion from iTunes Support, which I've done and it hasn't worked.
    1. I went to the system preferences of my Mac and then into sharing and remove all special characters in the "Computer Name" field. There was an apostrophe in mine but when deleted, that didn't help.
    2. Also I've seen on bulletin boards that pending purchase can cause an error message like this, but I don't have any.
    any suggestions out there would be welcome!
    thanks
    Peter

    Everytime I click onto download now, it brings me right to the page that says thank you for downloading iTunes.
    That can sometimes be caused by pop-up blockers and/or web accelerators. If you switch all your pop-up blockers off (in the web browser, security software and any other utilities with that function) and or switch off your web accelerator, does the download go through any better?

  • I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

    have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.
    How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

    Hi,
    Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
    If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

  • TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

    I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.
    Starting with the registry settings message.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • TS3694 Error message in App Store saying "Can not connect to iTunes Store"?

    Just started using my iPad 3 that I just recieved for my birthday a few days ago. Last night went to download a new App from the App store, which was free. After hitting the "free" button and continuing on and hitting the "download App" button I received an error message saying "Can Not connect to iTunes Store" and the word "OK" under that to make it go away. I continued on with other games to see if it was just an issue with that one but no matter what i hit it says that same error message. I spent hours on the phone with Apple Support only to have the gentlemen have me save everything on my iPad onto my iTunes on my PC and then start to Restore to Factory setting and then was told if had any issues to call them back. I left the room for about 5 min. only to come back to have an error message saying "The ipad could not be restored, an unknown error occurred (3014). I was just wondering if anyone else is having any issues similiar to mine. Please advise. My next step is to call back up and ask to speak to a Support Specialist the gentlemen said..once it goes to the "restore" point regular tech support can not help he explained.. Just frustrated after spending over 1 1/2 hrs on the phone to have gotten nowhere and now have to call back and start again with something brand new.. I just think i got a lemon!!

    This what Apple's iTunes specific error codes support article says about that particular error.
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Can't connect to iTunes Store for updates: "there was an error in the iTunes Store...."

    I can connect to the iTunes store on computer & iPhone & iPad.
    I can "Get More Apps."
    I can do just about everything.
    However, I can NOT get app updates. I get this message - on computer & devices. If I want to update apps, I get this message:
    "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. You do not have permission to access the requested resource. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
    That's it -
    Any wisdom?
    Is it Apple? Or is it me?
    And yes, I have the latest version of iTunes.

    Had the same problem - on my iOS devices and on my Mac's as well.
    Fixed it.  I turned off Wifi on the iphone and presto - was able to get connected.  Remoted into another machine offsite - and the App Store worked - so figured it might be connected to an IP issue since iPhone over 4G worked, just not w/wifi enabled. 
    Reset my cable modem to grab a new IP address - and all works normally again.

    Hi all,
    I have the same problem with my Windows 8.1 laptop and my guess is that since I changed my Internet Provider who now delivers IPv6 addresses the problem occurs. A frieend who has a different provider does not have the problem in his home, but when he tries using iTunes at my home with my network he gets the same problem.
    I have already solved a previous problem with Outlook 2003 not being able to receive emails from my wifes GMail account although everything else worked fine. The solution here was to enter the IPv4 address of Google POP-Server in the hosts file, overriding the IPv6 address.
    Maybe something similar helps with this iTunes error.
    If someone knows the hostname of the iTunes Store server, it could be pinged and the IPv4 address could be determined and then entered in the HOSTS file.
    I'll continue trying in this direction and will post a solution if I find one.
    If someone has the iTunes server name or IPv4 address, please post it.
