Everytime I launch iTunes, get "check for purchased music" message. Why?

Greetings Everyone,
After I installed iTunes 7.2 (for PC), and upgraded my library to the available iTunes Plus songs I started receiving this message.
This occurred after one song did not download during the iTunes Plus library upgrade. I received an error that was documented by an editor at MacWorld Magazine (it was a numbered error, I do not remember which one it was). I tried again the next day and was able to successfully complete the download.
However, every time I launch iTunes I am asked to input my AppleID and password to check for purchased music. This has become very annoying. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have taken a few steps to troubleshoot this process. I tried rebuilding my iTunes library as suggested on this support site. That did not work. I deleted everything from my iTunes folder and then launched iTunes. The box asking me to check for purchased music did NOT appear. So I have narrowed it down to a problem with my library/configuration.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I had this problem and found some interrupted downloads stuck in my download folder. Quit iTunes and move the downloads folder to the desktop. Check inside and make sure you don't need to re-download those songs.
~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Downloads
I think that is a temporary folder that gets created during the download, then gets deleted when done. iTunes must be seeing at startup and asks for password to try to finish, but never does.

My itunes wont check for purchased music

Every time I try to check for purchased music, my password and log in id are correct and my Internet connection is there, but every time I check, it tells me that it cannot check for purchased music and an unknown error has occurred, 11502. I need help because I cannot down load music that I have already purchased.

Hi Rickey,
I think you should contact the Music Store customer service agents to get help on this one. To contact them, go to the iTunes Help menu and select Music Store Service and Support and then click "iTunes Music Store
Customer Service" on that page.
Good luck,
Sara.

"cannot check for purchased music"

unknown error 11502. That's what it's telling me. what does it mean? how to I buy music?

Earlier today I was having problems like many iTunes users with downloading songs and connecting to the music store. Since then my pre-ordered music and purchased music has been downloading fine. I am having that same error (11502) that I am unable to check for purchased music. I had bought a pixar short video and don't see it in videos or in puchased music. When I try to purchase the movie again I get a message that it has already been purchased and just not downloaded. I tries to download and check which leads to the error message. Any ideas?

Checking for Purchased Music

I recently lost all of my music due to me crashing my hard drive...don't ask! Anyway, I went to go check for purchased music on iTunes and it gave me 149 of my 160 songs. I want those other 11 songs, but when I go and try to check for purchased music, now I'm getting 25 random songs that I've never even heard of! How do I get these 11 songs back? iTunes does not recognize my iPod anymore, so I can't plug it in or anything, but I do have a copy of the library.xlm copied on to my hard drive if that helps any. Let me know if anyone knows what to do, because I have also tried repurchase them, but it says I would have a duplicate, but that's not the case for me! Thanks.

I had to unauthorize my computer and authorize it again. I was then able to transfer my purchased music to my iTunes library.

"Unable to check for purchases" error

So I'm getting a strange message I've never seen. I gifted a video game for my girlfriend and after she clicked on the link and entered the code apparently something happened in the beginning of the download of the game which suggested that she "check for purchases music." I upgraded her ipod to 1.2, upgraded to the new itunes 7, upgraded to the latest quicktime and repaired permissions. We are stuck in this problem now. iTunes can never check for purchases. It keeps saying its busy but I don't think that's it. Is there something we can try? I feel like an idiot now that I bought this $5 game and it won't even download on her computer. Anyone else have this problem???

I was having the same problem, then read here:

to try re-authorizing the computer in iTunes. I did,
then did a "check for purchases" again and it worked.
Thanks Cyno!!

Error with checking for purchases

i recently purchased many many songs, and i have dial up, so i couldn't finish the downloads all at once. I keep checking for purchases, but this error keeps coming up:
"Unable to check for purchased music. An unknown error occured (3)."
i'm not really sure how to get my purchases to download, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that will work.
A lot easier than using your iPod as a hard drive.

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes. Not a fix. Help?

after perusing other subjects with playback issues:
this is the fix:
-Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
-Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

I created a new library so I can use it for just my music, but now my ipod will only sync to my old library and not the new one I created, even though I'm in the new library when I open itunes. Any solutions?

The point is that there are four i product users for one computer in my house, and not everyone wants the same music on their device. Like I said before, the ipod is not syncing to the new library even though I plug it in when the new itunes library is pulled up. It keeps syncing to the old library...

When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

Unable to check for purchases. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable.

Every time I go to check for purchases I receive this message. Ive been recieving it for a couple weeks now and its reallly starting to annoy me.
Based on what info I found, I tried adding different program and port exceptions to my firewall, and I toggled my virus scanner and spyware. (and I dont have an internet accelerator so thats not the cause).
So then when that failed i just turned my virus scanner and firewall completely off. Still its the same problem.
I have almost 70 downloads that are incomplete (because of an error that apple support has worked out with me), but I have no way of accessing them.
PLEASE HELP / GIVE ANY SUGGESTIONS

ya....
"I understand that you are still receiving a message about connection error when trying to download your purchases.
I have confirmed that the iTunes Store is functioning and accepting connections. Therefore, the issue is likely related to your Internet connection, local network, or computer. I'm happy to provide some information that should help you connect to the iTunes Store again.
I apologize for any inconvenience you have experienced with this issue and I can imagine how frustrating this could be for you. However, the nature of your question falls outside the type of support provided via email by the iTunes Store team. The iTunes Store team answers non-technical questions about billing, customer accounts, downloading music, and iTunes Store."
Im going to send them my exact connection details and such.. but if anyone knows the solutions to this PLEASE tell. It would save a ton of time and frustration.

When I open iTunes it takes like 2 min to let me play music

I have an external drive with 200GB of music (aiff files mostly), when I open iTunes the cursor becomes in to the multi color spinning disc, it remains like that for 2 min, at the same time external hard drive starts running, in the meantime there is nothing I can do on iTunes. Once the external drive stops the cursor becomes an arrow again and then everything works
I've been using iTunes like this for many years and I've never had a problem like this, aparently it happens since I updated iTunes to 7.5.
Does it make sense? it's really annoying to wait 2 min everytime I want to open iTunes, please help!

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

When I open iTunes I can't see the music transferred from PC

I transferred my iTunes folder from PC to sd card to MAC computer following these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527. The itunes library on my new Mac was completly empty so all I needed to do was dragged the empty folder to the desktop and my library from the sd card to the Music folder. I did this and I can see all the music is in the iTunes folder inside Music folder (on the Mac) but when I open iTunes I can't see any music. Itunes looks brand new. I don't want to click on "Find music files" because I tried that once and all the songs appeared on itunes but there were no playlists. I started the process all over so now I'm stuck with all the music in the folder but Itunes empty????

Thanks so much for your tip!! I did that, but it says there's no files in the library.
Originaly in Itunes > preferences>advanced>under folder location I put in new path pointing to the Ex HD. made a new folder for my son's library "Nick's Itunes Library". (Keep itunes media folder organized is checked).
Clicked on change.
Then i was prompted ot move the exisiting files over which I did. Went to File>Library>Organize Library>consolidate files>OK
I did all that. I closed itunes, went to the external HD to verify all the files were there. They were. Went back into itunes on the mac mini HD and deleted the files one at a time. I realize that this whole thing is not a deal breaker as it is all in iCloud. And can be downloaded again if necessary. But I want to know how to do this manually.
I just checked the external HD again. The files are there, Itunes isn't recognizing them is my guess.

Check for purchases crashes iTunes

Hi,
I recently purchased an album from the iTunes store on my iPhone 3G. This album came with four videos which I had to download through iTunes on my iMac.
When I select 'Store>Check for purchases' I can see the nine files I need to download (four audio tracks, four videos and a digital booklet). The audio files and booklet download fine. However, whenever a video is finished downloading the status bar will say 'processing file' and then iTunes will quit and give me an 'iTunes has unexpectedly closed' message.
When I open iTunes again the video which was just downloaded is not in my library, and if I search the computer it is not on there anywhere. When I select 'Store>Check for purchases' again the video does not appear for download, so I have basically lost a video I paid for because, in iTunes eyes, I have downloaded it already.
Has anyone come across anything like this before - I have contacted Apple support but got the stock 'update your iTunes and select Check for purchases' reply.
Thanks
Jack

Me too, posted on Windows as well. Just tried again (8/5/08, 3:00 pm PST) and am currently downloading episodes 3 & 4, but now it doesn't recognize that I should be able to download episodes 1 & 2. Already bought 1 on another computer in the house to test firewall problem theory suggested by support.
Support hasn't arrived at any solutions, but they do respond and I ended up with 4 video credits, so I'm thinking I'll just re-buy the missing episodes and call it even.
I had the same problem with Mad Men season pass, got episode 1 as expected, can no longer get episode 2--has vanished as a waiting download.

New Icloud Terms and Conditions window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months.

'New Icloud Terms and Conditions' window pops up every time I try to check my email, or when I open setting. My email doesn't load because of this, so I haven't been able to check my email for months. When I click, 'view terms' it takes me to my Icloud section in settings, but the terms don't pop up. I plugged it into my iTunes to see if it would pop up, but that didn't work either. My phone is updated, and I'm pretty sure I already accepted the new terms and conditions on the last update a few months back.

Hi munaxnight,
If you are having issues with your iPhone continuing to ask you to accept terms and conditions, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L
