Can't download anything from iTunes Store...  From only one wifi hotspot

Hello
I am having trouble with downloading stuff from the iTunes Store. When I click on an app for instance to download it asks me for me password as usual, I enter it, then it disappears and nothing happens. It's the most irritating issue. It's only happening at one wifi hotspot at a cafe. I've tried using my iphone to download as well, it hangs, then finally says can't connect to iTunes Store. I have downloaded things at other hotspots with no issues whatsoever so it can't be my iPhone or Macbook. I reckon the hotpot doesn't allow those kind of downloads. I might be wrong though, don't really have an idea. Does anyone have any ideas that I can try?
Thanks
Greg Russell

It does indeed sound to me like that hotspot either blocks connections to the iTunes Store (quite possibly to prevent people from loading their connection up with large downloads) or has a routing problem. In either case there's probably nothing you can do other than to just use a different hotspot, though you can talk to the cafe and ask them if they're indeed blocking the iTunes Store; that would at least let you know for sure.

    Are you listing the billing address for the card correctly? The address in the iTunes/MAS account must match the address on your bill exactly.

  • Can't download anything from iTunes Store

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5 running on IOS 6. Everything is working fine, except for I can't download anything from the iTunes Store. I can't download music, TV programs, or films. I'm pretty sure I can't download podcasts either. I can download apps absolutely fine, just not anything from the iTunes Store. As soon As I press download, it downloads as normal, but as soon as it reaches the end and says processing, as normal, it just sort of finishes. It doesn't end up in my music or videos folder. I also can't transfer any music or media from my computer to the device. As I said apps and photos and everything else is running fine.
    Has anyone else had the problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks

  • HT4718 How come I can't download anything from mac app store?

    How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
    I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
    It will not go to the Mac App Store
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
    os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
    I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
    Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

    Try resetting the App Store.
    Reset       Learned from Old Toad
    and you can try:
    - Sign out of the App Store (in the Store menu)
    - Quit the App Store
    - In Finder - Go>Go to folder...  (or Apple-shift-G)
    - Paste in the following "~/Library/Caches/ "
    - It will take you to a folder.  Delete com.apple.appstore
    - Launch the App Store.

  • Can't download anything from Ovi store , grayed-ou...

    Hi,
    I can't download anything from Ovi store anymore , both "download via PC" and "Download on mobile" options are disabled (grayed)
    This applies to all applications including those which I have never downloaded before !!!
    I have even created a completely new Ovi account , but with the same problem !
    Any idea

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the feedback. 
    Please use the search function as your question may be asked, and answered before.
    When you look at the page in the store you will see a link below the buttons which says:
    As you can see on the above image (and on the Nokia Store app pages) you need to install Nokia Drop for the buttons to activate.
    Hope this helps,
    Kosh

  • HT5622 Why I can't download anything from AppStore

    Hi!
    I don't know why I can't download anything from AppStore, anything download still on waiting

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • My iOS is 4, but I can't download anything in itunes or appstore unless I update to 5.0 but my ipod says that my device is updated. What to do?

    My iOS is 4, but I can't download anything in itunes or appstore unless I update to 5.0 but my ipod says that my device is updated. Hoiw do I fix this?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
      The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318
    To more eassly find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    If you want an app the requires iOS 4.3 or higher you will need to get a newer model iPod

  • Can't download anything from iTunes/App store

    For the past week, everytime I try to download anything from the App store or iTunes I get a message saying "Unable to Download App" then it says "name of app/song trying to download" could not be downloaded at this time.  Done or Retry.
    I have logged out of iCloud, iTunes and my AppleiD and nothing has worked.  I went online on my Mac and updated my credit card (which was not out of date) and tried to buy a sont on my Mac...purchased, but could not be downloaded.  All my devices are having the same problem.  In the Error details on my Mac it says to check the Internet connection and try again.  My wifi is working fine on my mac and iPhone.
    Any suggestions?
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1, since last iOSupdate was installed

    I found a solution, and it's horrible.
    1. Back up your data. I used iCloud, but I also made a restore file through itunes, though you CAN'T USE THAT RESTORE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. It will just install the problem anew! Delightful!.
    And then,  basically do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 which translates to:
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Erase all data
    3. Set up your iPad as a new ipad - if you choose to restore from an old restore file, you'll just reinstall the original problem.
    4. Connect to iCloud to reclaim your iCloud stuffs.
    5. Spend the next hour annoyed and frustrated as you restore your music, photos, apps, etc... to what you think you had them.
    But miraculously, this let our ipad download apps again.
    Again, restoring from a backup will not fix the problem.
    All this speaks to some issue that requires the drive on the ipad to be reformatted with new permissions, or something, which is pretty **** annoying. Waiting to see the problem re-appear after it's finished syncing my music. Hurray!
