Can't Check For Downloads!

Hi All,
I pre ordered an album a while back and it finally came out. when I try to download it by checking for my downloads iTunes gives me this message "The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable please try again later" I've tried this on all my computers and same error, how can I fix this?

I'm having the same problem--I think. Am able to download new podcast episodes, but no purchases. As far as I can tell, all purchases have been paid for. I did have to change my password a few days ago and since then have had this problem.

I cannot download a song it says it has been corrupted and must go to store check for downloads and I do that and it says the same thing. will not download I paid for it and can't download

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.)

HT1657 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.

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.

Hi - when I check for available downloads I get the message "unable to check for downloads the network connection was lost" this isn't a network problem as I can download directly (just cannot check for downloads) on any of my Mac's PLEASE HELP!!

Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the menu bar click iTunes > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer, launch iTunes.
Click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

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.

Software Update can't check for updates (Lion)

Just downloaded and installed OSX 10.7. Tried to run Software Update and get the following alert:
'Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem. The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “swscan.apple.com”.'
Repaired permissions, created new user account... Issue persists. I'm connected to the internet. Software Update System Preference has no entries in the "Software Installed' tab.

No I haven't tried to get the individually. I will just wait because I am not the only one in our household who's iTunes won't download app updates.
The Software Update error has also now changed to:
Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
A network error has occurred. Check your Internet connection, and then try again.
as opposed to earlier when it read:
Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.
The file “index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog” couldn’t be found on the server “matsus2.matilda.net.au”.
So something has changed in the last few hours. Maybe it's not my computer and just something to do with the apple servers. The matsus2.matilda.net.au is the interesting thing as it has no relevance to our internet or home network.

Software can't check for an update because of a network problem

Since I updated to Lion I keep getting this http://grab.by/cKz4 [Software can't check for an update because of a network problem window] everytime I click on Software update in finder. Also I get the same window when I try to open the App Store app.... my internet connection works fine and I previously updated with the direct stand alone downloads from the Apple site.
I downloaded the new 10.7.2 like this as well as the iphoto update.
Any ideas why this is happening?

just did a bit of a search and discovered that it was Little Snitch that was the problem.... you have to update to the latest version [or switch it off for software before using software update]

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

download iTunes again from Apple.

If you have 64bit Vista or Windows 7, look for the seperate download of iTunes for that further down the page.
Once installed, use the Apple Software Update under your Start Menu to fully update all Apple components.
Your content will remain on the drive in the Music > iTunes Folder, nothing is deleted.
You should be making backups of your content regularly, either through iTunes or via copying the iTunesFolder in your Music folder to a external drive.
Windows is notorious for having "other" issues that make it unstable, we as volunteers helping others can't always resolve those issues.

How can I check for the existence of an XML file in Illustrator Javascript??

I'm writing a Javascript to run at startup. I want to check for the existence of XML files and process them, if they are available. How can I check for their existence?

Your first line just sets a variable to a string value… getFiles() is a method of Folder… so
var InputXMLDir = Folder( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/" );
Not a PC user so I can't remember if the colon is OK…? As you appear to know the file name why bother with a folder get files anyhow you could just check if the file exists then do some thing…
alert( File( "D:/Brackets/Create_Bracket_Graphics/Input/XML-n-Templates/brackets_men_web.xml" ).exists );
