Cannot watch movies - all say 'This item is currently being modified. Please try again later.'

Every movie I try to watch on my AppleTV results in a message stating 'This item is currently being modified. Please try again later.' How can I find a fix for this issue? I am in the UK. My iTunes account is a US account. Is that the issue? This does not cause me any problems with any other aspects of the AppleTV and has never been an issue when using iTunes on my PC and iPad. Help!

Make sure the country location on your appletv is set to match the country on your iTunes account. Fixed it for me after months of struggling with the same problem.

This item is currently being modified, please try again later since iTunes9

Hi, I tried to find an answer to this issue believing I wouldn't be the only one to see this, but I could not find the answer to my iTunes issue. I updated to iTunes 9, since I did that, I am unable to buy any Season Pass. I tried with 3 different season passes and all I get is a message saying "This item is currently being modified, please try again later". I tried to reeinstall iTunes 9, I updated to SL 10.6.1 this morning, logout of iTunes etc ... nothing seems to solve my problem. Any good idea is welcome.

I'm having the same problem. I tried to buy a season pass to the SD version of my favorite show, and was told I had to install iTunes 9.0 first. I did that, and then started getting this "Purchase unavailable. Item is being modified. Try again later" message, which has been coming up for two days solid now. Interestingly enough, other folk trying to buy the same series have had the same problem - UNLESS they were buying the $20 more expensive HD version of the season pass, which began downloading instantly. Given that the HD season pass includes a copy of the SD version for viewing on an iPod, there can't be a problem with the SD version, so what's going on with the inability to purchase it? The single new SD episode is also apparently downloadable individually, but can't be gotten on a season pass. Have submitted request for assistance to customer service (and REALLY hate how clunky that system is, when it comes to finding out where to submit a query), and haven't heard anything back yet. Am NOT happy.

DPS Tips app says "This content is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

The DPS Tips app doesn't seem to work on any of my devices. Any attempt to download a folio produces the message "This content is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
"Temporarily" is OK but this was the same yesterday. Should this be changed to "permanently"?

Too funny! I think Bob ran out of fulfillments Thanks for letting me know, I'll figure out how to fix it tomorrow.

I'm trying to buy Dhafer Youssef album "Digital Prophecy" from finnish iTMS. When i click "Buy Now" in my shopping cart, iTunes will give me various error messages,
"Item is being modified",
"Your shopping cart's contents have changed." or
"We could not complete your Music Store request. The server was not found."
I've bought several albums from iTMS before with no problems. I know for sure that there is no problems in my credit card or so. Also "the item" i am trying to buy, has been "being modified" for more than week already, so the problem must be somewhere else than just that it's price is being changed or so.
Anyone with a fix for this problem? I am running the latest version of Tiger, and all the latest updates from Software Update, both Quicktime and iTunes are as up-to-date as they can be.

They've been having problems with various albums. it's listed at two different prices but appears to be the same album. Others who have had this problem have clicked on the review page and downloaded their selection from there. I don't see that for this selection.
Try to purchase the $7.92 version.

I have had a large iTunes library for years. switched many different computers through the years. I buy my first Mac and this is the error that pops up when i try to download my library. I have tried to download to external hard drive and internal hard drive.
I have read all the previous posts to try and determine how to best fix this.
i tried the safari preferences reset of website data and blocking cookies... which by the way doesn't allow you to log in to iTunes it appears.
and i have reset my cache and warnings in iTunes as well. Does anyone have any more ideas? Not feeling the love for my new Mac right now. Thank You in advance for any ideas.

I had a similar issue on a used macbook air that I purchased and was attempting to reinstall the OS X from the partition. The issue was the partition was referencing a BETA version of yosemite that could not be downloaded any longer. You may have the same issue. The solution is an internet recovery process. You start the mac and then immediately press command+option+R at the same time. This should take you to a screen with a spinning globe and it will start this internet recovery process. My understanding is it downloads the original partition recovery file for your specific machine. In my instance it downloaded mountain lion. Once this is complete I went to disk utilities and first re-erased the Mac SSD and then performed the OS X re-install from the recovery partition. It will not ask for any sign in with your apple ID. It will simply install the original OS X that came with your machine. You will then go through the setup process to establish the mac as your machine or install from backup which ever you choose. Once that is done you can do the free upgrade to the latest OS X, in my case yosemite. Hope this helps.

Trying to purchase a couple TV show seasons but for two different shows (Madmen and Burn Notice), it won't let me purchase and gives this message:
"This item is currently being modified. Please try again later."
Never seen this one before. Thoughts?

Hi, I actually have the same problem but with Apps for the iPhone... I've got 2 of them showing there's an update available but when I try to update I first get a message staating I can't update unless I have bought the previous version (why is it then offering an update???) and then a second message stating "This item is currently being modified. Please try again later." and it's been stuck like this for a couple days now... I think this might have to do with some internal Apple database thing because I changed my contact email for iTunes recently therefore my iTunes name changed as well and the Apple iTunes databse is probably having problems updating the purchase records witht he new name...

While attempting to purchase and download a recently aired TV epsiode (Doctor Who: The Snowmen) a message appears that it is currently bing modified, and to try again later. After poking around on the internet for a bit I was confused since multiple sources said the show would be available online Wed. Dec. 26th. While trying repeatedly yesterday and this morning I am still unable to purchase this episode. More distressing, is that it appears other users have been able to buy and enjoy this selection with no problems. I am wondering if this is a connection issue or if I missed some sort of an update on my computer?

Message reads Apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set; please try again later...help!

in setting up new apple tv, message says "apple tv cannot sign in to Itunes until network time has been set - please try again later.........is this an easy fix?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Also try restarting the router.
If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

"Game Center account services are currently unavailable. Please try again later." Any solution for this thing ?

Hey guys, I have an iMac 27 inch. Whenever i connect to the game center it asks me to input my apple id & password. I do so then I agree to terms & conditions followed by inputing my nickname. After doing this stuff it just shows as 'Saving...' and never stops for hours. When I try through chess i get the following error. "Game center account services are currently unavailable. Please try again later". I've tried everything which were there in other discussions but none helped. And just for the extra information my internet is firewalld frrom the datacenter itself. Please provide a solution. Thanks :)

Apple has temp. disabled the Game Account services

I pre-ordered x by Ed Sheeran and it won't let me complete the album with the rest of the songs that were released at midnight. It gives me the option to buy 6 more songs separately, and I tried buying one and it worked. The problem is I don't want to spend another 7-8 dollars on songs that I can get for a total of $1.38. I even tried cancelling the pre-order and nothing's worked so far. What can I do?

The message says they are replacing some items and you should try again LATER. Is there any reason you can't follow that advice? Other than impatience?
No, you should not have to pay twice for anything. If you contact iTunes support (the link is at the bottom of the store page), you should get a refund, although canceling the pre-order might have caused some unnecessary complication. Try.
